Basis of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tattooed Chef and its subsidiaries in which Tattooed Chef has a controlling interest directly or indirectly, and variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


 

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed, consolidated or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

The Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method, Forum was treated as the “acquired” company (“Accounting Acquiree”) and Myjojo (Delaware), the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued stock for the net assets of Forum, accompanied by a recapitalization.

The net assets of Forum arewere stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization arewere those of Myjojo (Delaware). The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors.

1)Immaterial errors identified and revised in prior periods.

The Company revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the period ended March 31,September 30, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error for amounts previously not reflected in the comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest. This revision has no impact on the Company’s net income, retained earnings, or earnings per share.

Revised Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income As Previously Reported  Adjustment  As Revised 
Three months ended March 31, 2020         
Comprehensive income $5,547   -  $5,547 
Less: income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest  (11)  1,022   1,011 
Comprehensive income attributable to Tattooed Chef, Inc. stockholders $5,558   (1,022) $4,536 

TheDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company revised the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 (not included herein) to reflect the correction of an immaterial error related to the classification of Private Placement Warrants. These warrants are now classified as liabilities with the related changes in the fair value of these warrants recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. This revision has an immaterial impact on the Company’s previously reported net income, earnings per share, total liabilities or stockholder’sand stockholders’ equity. 

In further consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain settlement methods specific to the Private Placement Warrants precludes the Private Placement Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Private Placement Warrants should be recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value upon recognition on October 15, 2020 the Closing dateDate and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of change. Therefore, the Company concluded that it is appropriate to revise the classification of the Private Placement Warrants in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, as previously reported in its Form 10-K.


The revised classification and reported values of the Private Placement Warrants as accounted for under ASC 815-40 are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements herein. 

The following table summarizes the effect of the revision on each financial statement line item as of the dates, and for the periods ended, indicated:

The Company revised the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error related to the presentation of 81,087 treasury shares. The treasury shares are now presented separately from common stock shares. This revision has an immaterial impact on the Company’s previously reported net income, earnings per share, or stockholder’sstockholders’ equity.

2)Immaterial errors identified and revised in current quarter.

The Company revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of equity and operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error related to the grant of 825,000 stock awards to Harrison & Co (“Harrison”) on October 15, 2020 as consideration for advisory services provided by Harrison to facilitate the successful completion of the Transaction (see Note 17). The stock awards were fully vested on grant date, and therefore a weighted average 174,041 shares should have been included in basic and diluted outstanding shares when calculating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the fair value of the stock awards issued in the amount of $20.54 million should have been included as a reduction to the “Reverse Recapitalization” line item and an increase by the same amount to the “Transaction costs, net of tax” line item. Both of these items are included within the Company’s additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2020. This revision has no impact on the Company’s previously reported net income but reduced the earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020, and had no impact on the balance sheet, total additional paid-in capital and total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020.


During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified additional immaterial errors in its previously issued financial statements related to inventoriable costs and the classification of certain accounts that primarily impact cost of goods sold and operating expenses. The Company assessed the cumulative effect of all the errors on the prior quarterly and annual financial statements, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded the errors were not material to any of the previously issued financial statements. Consequently, these errors will be corrected prospectively and financial statements will be revised in the future when the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows for such prior periods are included in future filings.

3)Accumulated effect of revisions on each financial statement line item

The Company revised the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, three months ended March 31, 2021, three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and three months ended March 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of aforementioned immaterial errors.

*The adjustment columns above represent the following:

Reclassifications. Previously Revised: Immaterial errors were identified and revised in prior periods.

Current Revisions: Immaterial errors were identified and revised in current quarter.

Reclassifications: Certain prior period reclassificationsamounts related to taxes payable were madereclassified from Accounts Payable to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income and comprehensive income, cash flows, total assets, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.Other Current Liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or transferred for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and certain notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Long-term notes payable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximate its fair value as the interest rates are indexed to market rates. The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value measurements into three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 -Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and can reference interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.

Level 3 -Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is limited, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Cash. The Company’s cash may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts.

Foreign Currency. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar for its U.S. entities. Ittella Italy’s functional currency is the Euro. Transactions in currency other than the functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each entity are included in the results of operations in income from operations as incurred.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Equity adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company conducts business globally and is therefore exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the Euro to US dollar. To limit the exposure related to foreign currency changes, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts starting in 2020. The Company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a trading facility for derivative forward contracts. Under this facility, the Company has access to open foreign exchange forward contract instruments to purchase a specific amount of funds in Euros and to settle, on an agreed-upon future date, in a corresponding amount of funds in United States dollars. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to purchase 22.0055.36 million Euros and 13.3537.79 million Euros, respectively. The notional amounts of these derivatives are $26.90$66.80 million and $14.68$42.81 million for the three-month periodnine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.


These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Gains and losses on the contracts are included in other income net, and substantially offset foreign exchange gains and losses from the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities, such as purchases, receivables and payables, of which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the reporting entity. These derivative instruments generally have maturities of up to nine months.

Accounts Receivable. Trade receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 7 to 45 days from the invoice date. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

Inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials and packaging materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a weighted average basis. Inventory is initially measured at cost and consists of the sum of the applicable expenditures and charges directly and indirectly incurred to bring products to their existing condition and location. These costs include purchase costs and any other charges necessary to prepare the items for production. For work in process and finished goods, these costs normally include those incurred directly or indirectly in the production of inventory (i.e., direct labor and production overheads or conversion costs), and other expenses (i.e., inbound freight, transportation and handling charges, taxes and duties).

Overhead costs are allocated to the units produced within the reporting period, while abnormal costs are charged to current operations as incurred. The Company monitors the remaining utility of its inventory and writes down inventory for excess or obsolescence as appropriate.


Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to amortize the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 715 years for machinery and equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 20 to 2533.5 years for buildings, and 3 to 510 years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renewals and enhancements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the specific property unit. When the Company retires or disposes of property, plant or equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Goodwill. The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performs the impairment testing by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit (currently only one reporting unit) is less than its carrying amount (“Qualitative Assessment”). In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company considers the impact of certain key factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, management turnover, changes in regulation, litigation matters, changes in enterprise value, and overall financial performance. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it’s carrying amount, the Company tests for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a “step one” analysis using a fair-value-based approach based on a discounted cash flow analysis of projected future results to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. Long-livedIntangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead, are reviewed for impairment. Intangible assets and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets within an asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such asset groups are considered to be impaired, an impairment is recognized to the impairment to be recognized isextent that these assets are stated based upon their fair value. This analysis differs from the Company’s goodwill analysis in that the impairment for these assets is only deemed to have occurred if the sum of the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows of these intangible assets is less than their carrying values. The estimate of long-term undiscounted cash flows includes long-term forecasts of revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses, and requires significant judgment and assumptions. An impairment loss may exist when the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets are less than the carrying amount of the assets. No impairment was recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or transferred for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and certain notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Long-term debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates its fair value as the interest rates are indexed to market rates. The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value measurements into three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 -Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and can reference interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads.

Level 3 -

Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Warrants. The Public Warrants are considered freestanding equity-classified instruments due to their detachable and separately exercisable features and meet the indexation criteria in ASC 815-40-15-7C. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are presented as a component of Stockholders’ Equity in accordance with ASC 815-40-25. All of the public warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2021. See note 17. The Agreementsagreements with respect to the Company’s Private Placement Warrants include provisions related to determining settlement amounts that preclude the Private Placement Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As these Warrantswarrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815-40, the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (on the Closing date)Date) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change.

 


 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The Company’s principal business is the manufacturing of plant-based foods including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy. Revenue recognition is determined by (a) identifying the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (b) identifying the performance obligation in each contract; (c) determining the transaction price; and (d) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in each contract; and (e) recognizing revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services. Each unit of product delivered is determined as a separate performance obligation and in the event there areis more than one unit of a product ordered, there will be multiple performance obligations satisfied under the same contract. When control of the promised products and services are transferred to the Company’s customers, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for these products and services.

Control generally transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in the Company’s contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to its customers – private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration, most commonly in the most common form areof discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, the Company uses either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.

The Company does not have significant unbilled receivable balances arising from transactions with customers. The Company does not capitalize contract inception costs as contracts are generally one year or less and the Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization. The Company’s deferred revenue balance is primarily compromisedcomprised of customer arrangements withsales to customers whose contractual shipping terms asare FOB destination that have been shipped but not yet received by the customer as of the reporting period.destination. Deferred revenue was $0.97$0.63 million and $1.71 million as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs related to products transferred to the end customer as fulfillment cost.

The Company enters into certain arrangements with its customers to provide inventory for promotional purposes (“Promotional Items”). Such arrangements are not tied to immediate or future sales of any particular product. Instead, the Company will occasionally offer these Promotional Items in a targeted way to increase product awareness. Since a Promotional Item does not provide a material right, it is not considered a distinct performance obligation. As such, the cost and includes these costs inof the Promotional Item is not presented within cost of goods sold upon delivery of the product to the customer.and is instead treated as an operating expense.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture process, co-packing or repacking fees, in-bound freight charges, internal transfer costs, cold storage expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of the Company’s finished products, and out-bound freight to transfer the finished goods to the end customers. In addition, the Company includes in costs of sales certain costs such as depreciation, amortization and payroll costs that relate to the direct manufacture by the Company.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses include selling expenses, cold storage expenses after manufacture, as well as expenses for advertising, sampling costs, costs for merchandise displays, other marketing expenses and design expenses. Operating expenses also include such costs as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees (including legal fees), depreciation and other general and administrative costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. The Company expenses costs associated with sales and marketing as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.10$5.96 million and $0.62$1.59 million for the periodsthree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $21.16 million and $4.39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses are included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest primarily related to the amortization of deferred financing costs, the Company’s notes payable and line of credit.

Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs include fees associated with the Company’s line of credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related line of credit agreement as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Deferred financing costs net were $0.09 million and $0.09$0.08 million at March 31,both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively, and are recorded as a component of other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense of deferred financing costs were $0.90$0.00 million and $0.02$0.01 million during the periodsthree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense of deferred financing costs were $0.00 million and $0.03 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.


Stock-based Compensation. The Company measures compensation expense for stock options and other stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Generally, the Company issues stock options and other stock awards to employees with service-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. For awards with only service-based vesting conditions, the Company records compensation cost for these awards using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a tranche-by-tranche basis (the accelerated attribution method) over the expected service period.


Under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, the Company measures stock-based awards granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the award on the date on which the related service is completed. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which services are rendered by non-employees until service is completed.

Income TaxesTaxes.

As part of the process of preparing its condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business, in accordance with the Income Tax Topic 740 of the ASC (“ASC 740”). The Company computes its annual tax rate based on the statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to it in the various jurisdictions in which it earns income. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include the Company’s forecast of the reversal of temporary differences, future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings. Based on our assessment, it appears more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must first be determined to be more likely to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, and if so, then measured to be the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of MarchSeptember 30, 2021 or December 31, 2021.2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payment, accruals, or material deviation from its tax position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. See Note 1315 for more information on the Company’s accounting for income taxes.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.Income (Loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income consisted of gains and losses associated with changes in foreign currency as a result of the translation of the financial results of the Company’s Italian subsidiary.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to customers primarily in the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in this geographical area. No external suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold during the period ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Three customers accounted for 63% and 87% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Segment Information. The Company manages its operations on a company-wide basis as 1one operating segment, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources to the business as a whole rather than on a segment-level basis. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. To date, the Company’s CODM has made such decisions and assessed performance at the Company-level.

A majority of the Company’s products are sold from the United States to customers.

COVID-19 PandemicPandemic. The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was categorized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020, continues to significantly impact the United States and the rest of the world and has altered the Company’s business environment and the overall working conditions.

Despite partial remote working conditions, the Company’s business activities have continued to operate with minimal interruptions.

  

Management acknowledgesHowever, the pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s suppliers and could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources mosta material amount of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events (including the pandemic) generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. If the Company is unable to manage its supply chain effectively and ensure that its products are available to meet consumer demand, operating costs could increase, and sales and profit margins could decrease.


On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBASmall Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Programs that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company has elected not to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, theThe Company has analyzed the provisions of the CARES Act and determined it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.flows for the periods presented.


The extent to which this pandemic willcould adversely impact the Company’s future business, financial condition and results of operations is dependent upon various factors, many of which are highly uncertain and outside the control of the Company.

 

Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period includes common stock but is exclusive of certain unvested stock awards that have no economic or participating rights. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards under the Company’s equity incentive plan and warrants have been considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”). Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933, as amended, registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an EGC, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of its financial statements with another public company, which is neither an EGC nor an EGC which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. As of December 31, 2021, the Company will lose EGC status and be required to adopt standards on the public company timeframe.

2.RECENTLY ISSUEDRECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021, the first day of the reporting year. One of the amendments eliminates a limitation on the amount of income tax benefit that can be recognized in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periodnine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility is calculated based upon LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 was issued on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. This guidance has had no material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) regarding ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The amendments will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2022.2021. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility is calculated based upon LIBOR. ASU 2020-04. was issued on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. This guidance has had no material effect on the Company for the period ended March 31, 2021. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact this guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted in annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “Topic 842”). The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. New disclosure requirements include qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with adjustments to the earliest comparative period presented. In September 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840),No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements to ASC 842,” which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and Leases (Topic 842),elect to use the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 as the date of initial application, which provides additional implementation guidance on the previously issuedCompany will elect. As the Company will lose EGC status by the end of December 31, 2021, the Company will be required to apply the provisions of ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective with the option to elect certain practical expedients and accounting policy elections. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning afterannual reporting period ended December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2020-05 extended the adoption to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.31, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on its combined consolidated financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the adoption of this standard will record a right of use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of these leases, which will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. However, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, no material changes are expected to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

3.Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On April 15, 2019, UMB contributed $6.00 million to acquire 6,000 units for a 12.5% ownership interest in Ittella International. The Company incurred issuance costs of $0.13 million resulting in net consideration received of $5.87 million.

Per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement, UMB was provided with a put right which may causecould have caused Ittella International to purchase all, but not less than all of UMB units upon notice (“Put Notice”). UMB could have provided the Put Notice to Ittella International at any time for any reason after April 15, 2024. If Ittella International did not accept the price proposed in the Put Notice, the consideration to be paid by Ittella International to UMB for the units that were the subject of the Put Notice will be the fair market value of the units as established by a third party appraisal, subject to a floor for the fair value at 85%. If the fair value was less than 85% of the consideration proposed by UMB in their Put Notice, UMB may have chosen to abandon the transfer. The put right constituted a redemption feature and therefore UMB’s noncontrolling interest (the “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest”) was classified as temporary equity (mezzanine) in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest was initially measured at fair value, which has been determined by the Company to equal the consideration received from UMB, net of transaction costs.

The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest was not redeemable until April 2024; however, it was probable of becoming redeemable with the passage of time. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest at each reporting date was determined as the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’sRedeemable Noncontrolling Interest’s share of net income and other comprehensive income, or (2) the redemption value, which was determined to be fair value per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement above. In determining the measurement method of redemption value, the Company elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date (i.e. April 2024) of the instrument using the effective interest method. Changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates. Redemption value was determined using a combination of the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the Company estimated fair value based on market multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies. Under the income approach, the Company measured fair value based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate determined by its Management which ismanagement to be commensurate with the risk inherent in its currentthen-current business model.


There werewas no Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. Changes in the carrying value of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest were as follows for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020:

  Amount

Changes in the carrying value of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

  Amount 
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest as of January 1, 2020 $6,900 
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest  198 
Accretion to redeemable noncontrolling interest  36,719 
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest as of September 30, 2020 $43,817 

All redeemable noncontrolling interestRedeemable Noncontrolling Interest classified as mezzanine equity were reclassified to permanent equity in connection with the contribution of UMB’s 12.5% equity interests in Ittella International to Myjojo (Delaware) in exchange for Myjojo’sMyjojo (Delaware)’s common stock and were subsequently exchanged for Forum Class A common stock upon consummation of the Transaction.Transaction (see Note 1).


 

4.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Nature of Revenues

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consist of the sale of plant-based foods including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza in the United States and is recognized at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Each unit of food product sold to the customer is the performance obligation. Revenue from the sale of frozen food products is recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, which is upon shipmentcustomer. Control generally transfers to the customer.customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to its customers – private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through third-party vendors and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions. All sales are recorded within revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company does not have any contract assets or contract liabilities as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Revenue streams for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Significant Judgments

 

Generally, the Company’s contracts with customers comprise a written quote and customer purchase order or statement of work and are governed by the Company’s trade terms and conditions. In certain instances, it may be further supplemented by separate pricing agreements. All products are sold on a standalone basis; therefore, when more than one product is included in a purchase order, the Company has observable evidence of the stand-alone selling price. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 7 to 45 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. Product returns are not significant. The contracts with customers do not include any additional performance obligations related to warranties and material rights.

 

From time to time, the Company may offer incentives to its customers considered to be variable consideration including discounts and demonstration costs. Customer incentives considered to be variable consideration are recorded as a reduction to revenue as part of the transaction price based on the agreement at the time of the transaction. Customer incentives are allocated entirely to the single performance obligation of transferring product to the customer.


  

5.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLESNET

 

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. All of theThe Company’s receivables are duesignificantly derived from customers in the United States. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

 

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers regularly and estimates the collectability of current and non-current accounts receivable based on historical bad debt experience, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In times of economic turmoil, including during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s estimates and judgments with respect to the collectability of its analysis, the Company has determined an allowance for doubtful receivables is not necessary as of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.are subject to greater uncertainty than in more stable periods. The Company writes off accounts receivable whenever they become uncollectible, and any payments subsequently received on such receivables are recorded as bad debt recoveries in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.42 million and $0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

New Mexico Food Distributors, Inc. (NMFD) and Karsten Acquisition

On May 14, 2021, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of NMFD, a distributor and manufacturer of frozen and ready-to-eat New Mexico food products for a total purchase price amounting to $28.91 million. In addition, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Karsten for a total purchase price of $5.18 million. The NMFD Transaction met the definition of an acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

Though the purchase agreements for each of NMFD and Karsten were executed as legally separate transactions, each were entered into contemporaneously and in contemplation of the other. As such, the transactions noted above were accounted for on a combined basis and were viewed to represent a single integrated event.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with the NMFD Transaction were initially recorded at their respective fair values. The Company made an election under Section 338(h)(10) to treat the NMFD Transaction as an asset acquisition for income tax purposes, which allows for any goodwill recognized to be tax deductible and amortized over a 15-year statutory life. The Company considered the potential impact to the depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the fair values assigned to the acquired assets. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of approximately $19.35 million was recorded as goodwill.

Transaction costs of $0.47 million were incurred in relation to the acquisition of which $0.07 million pertained to reimbursement of costs incurred by the sellers and included as part of the purchase consideration. The remaining $0.40 million was recorded to operating expense within the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company did not record any operating expense related to the transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the NMFD Transaction as of the date of acquisition:

  Amount 
Purchase consideration $34,091 
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed    
Cash $173 
Accounts receivable  3,567 
Inventory  3,169 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets  122 
Property, plant and equipment  12,746 
Favorable leasehold position  1,444 
Other noncurrent assets  29 
Intangible assets – tradenames  220 
Accounts payable  (3,735)
Accrued expenses  (78)
Finance lease  (2,917)
Goodwill  19,351 
Total $34,091 

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s single reporting unit. The fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary, are based on provisional amounts and may be subject to change as additional information is received. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of these assets not later than one year from the acquisition date.


The estimated useful lives of the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired in the NMFD Transaction were determined to be two years.

9.11.Derivative instrumentsinstrumentS

The Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities such as foreign currency inventory purchases, receivables and payables. The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s derivatives expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. The Company does, however, seek to mitigate such risks by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. Managementinstitutions, and management does not expect material losses as a result of defaults by counterparties.

10.12.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Contingent Consideration Liabilities – Holdback Shares

As part of the Transaction (Note 1), an additional 5,000,000 shares of Forum’s common stock (the “Holdback Shares”) were placed into escrow, to be released to certain Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders upon satisfaction, within the first three years after the Closing Date, of the following conditions: (i) if the trading price of the Company’s common stock equaled or exceeded $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “$12.00 Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 additional Holdback Shares were to be released to certain Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders or (ii) if the trading price of the Company’s common stock equaled or exceeded $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (each of such $14.00 trigger and the $12.00 Share Price Trigger, a “Share Price Trigger”), then 2,500,000 Holdback Shares were to be released to certain Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders. If a change in control occurred within the first three years after the Closing, all Holdback Shares not previously released were to be released to certain Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders. If the conditions to release of the Holdback Shares were not satisfied within the first three years following the Closing Date, the Holdback Shares would be forfeited. On November 16, 2020, both Share Price Trigger events for the issuance of the Holdback Shares occurred and, accordingly, the Company released from escrow and delivered the 5,000,000 Holdback Shares to the Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders (other than Pizzo Food Srls (“Pizzo”) and Myjojo (Delaware)’s Chief Operating Officer).

The Company recognized and measured a contingent consideration liability associated with Holdback Shares at a fair value of $120.35 million, determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. Significant inputs used in the model includes certain financial metric growth rates, volatility rates, projections associated with the applicable contingency, the interest rate, and the related probabilities and payment structure in the Merger Agreement, which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered to be Level 3 inputs.

On November 16, 2020, the contingencies were met and accordingly the Holdback Shares were released. The remeasured fair value of the liability was $83.15 million based on the public share price on release date and was charged against additional paid-in capital. The change in fair value during the period resulted in a gain on settlement of the contingent consideration derivative of $37.20 million and was recorded within “other income” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020.

There were no changesSponsor Earnout Shares Subject to Transfer Restrictions

In accordance with the Sponsor Earnout Letter entered into by and among Forum Investor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”), Forum and the Holder Representative, the Sponsor agreed that at the Closing Date, the Sponsor placed 2,500,000 Founder Shares (as that term is defined in the estimated fair valueSponsor Earnout Letter) held by it (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) into escrow. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Company’s liabilities measuredSponsor Earnout Shares were the same as the vesting, release and forfeiture terms applicable to the Holdback Shares, with 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting at each Share Price Trigger, and all Sponsor Earnout Shares released if a change of control occurred, in each case, within the first three years after the Closing. If the conditions to the release of any Sponsor Earnout Shares were not satisfied on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) duringor prior to the three months ended March 31, 2021date that it is finally determined that the Myjojo (Delaware) stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Holdback Releases (as that term is defined in the Sponsor Earnout Letter) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Earnout Shares were to be forfeited by the Sponsor after such date, and returned to the Company for immediate cancellation. In November 2020, respectively.both Share Price Trigger events for the issuance of the Holdback Shares occurred and, accordingly, the Company released from escrow and returned the 2,500,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares to the Sponsor.


 

The multiple settlement provisions of the Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares Subjectconstituted derivative instruments under ASC 815, which must be classified as asset or liability instruments at their fair value at the Closing Date, and subsequently remeasured with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. At the Closing Date, the fair value of the contingent consideration relating to Transfer Restrictionsthe Holdback Shares amounted to $120.35 million. The derivative liability was remeasured with changes in fair value recognized in earnings of $37.20 million upon release of the Holdback Shares to the certain stockholders in November 2020. The fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Shares was $0 at the Closing Date and $0 upon the release date.

The Company recognized and measured an asset associated with the Sponsor Earnout Shares at itsa fair value of $0 at the Closing date,Date, determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. Significant inputs used in the models includes certain financial metric growth rates, volatility rates, projections associated with the applicable contingency, the interest rate, and the related probabilities and payment structure in the contingent consideration arrangement, which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered to be Level 3 inputs.

The Sponsor Earnout Shares were released on November 16, 2020 based on the remeasured fair value on the release date of $0, as none of the Sponsor Earnout Shares were forfeited on that date. No gain or loss was recorded by the Company in connection with the Sponsor Earnout Shares.

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Private Placement Warrants (see Note 1) are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception (“initial measurement”), which is at the Closing date,Date, and on a recurring basis (“subsequent remeasurement”), with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Initial Measurement

 

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants werewas initially measured at fair value on October 15, 2020, the Closing date.Date.

 

Subsequent Measurement

 

At each reporting period or upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Company remeasures the Private Placement Warrants at their fair values with the change in fair value reported to current operations within the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, 223,041 Private Placement Warrants totaling 278,542 were settled, resulting in an aggregate loss on settlements of $0.15$0.17 million.

For the three months and the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities charged to current operations amounted to $0.47 million.resulted in a gain of $0.21 million and $0.16 million, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined to be $10.16$10.41 per Warrantwarrant as of March 31,September 30, 2021, using Monte Carlo simulations and usingcertain Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from its traded warrants and historical volatility of select peers’ common stock with a similar expected term of the Private Placement Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield on the grant date with a maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the warrants. The expected term of the Private Placement Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company estimated to remain at 0.zero.

As of each reporting period, management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2021. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth.

Based on this evaluation, a full valuation allowance was recorded on the net deferred tax asset of $47.22 million as of June 30, 2021. Management has determined that there is sufficient negative evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realizable. The Company therefore continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for the period ended September 30, 2021.

The income tax (benefit) expense for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to federal, state and foreign income tax expenses attributable to federal and state tax benefits on the Company’s U.S. loss as a C-corporation, offset by foreign income tax expenses on the Company’s foreign income in Italy.Italy and the expense recorded in the second quarter relating to a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.

The income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to state and foreign income taxes.

The Company also believes that quarterly effective tax rates will vary from the fiscal 2021 effective tax rate as a result of recording a full valuation allowance, recognizing the income tax effects of items that the Company cannot anticipate such as the changes in tax laws, tax amounts associated with foreign earnings at rates different from the United States federal statutory rate, the tax impact of stock-based compensation. The Company’s foreign earnings on Italian operations are subject to foreign taxes applicable to its income derived in Italy. These taxes include income tax.

As of December 31, 2020, and 2019,September 30, 2021, the Company had no open tax examinations by any taxing jurisdiction in which it operates. The taxing authorities of the most significant jurisdictions are the United States Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board and the Agenzia delle Entrate. The statute of limitations for which the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination are as follows: Federal 2017-2020, California 2016-2020, and Italy 2016-2020.

CompensationStock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is the requisite service period, beginning on the grant date. The compensation expense is based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of MarchSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021,2020, the Company had stock-based compensation expense of $5.17$8.47 million and $5.65 million, respectively, related to unvested stock options not yet recognized that are expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately three years.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:weighted average assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Expected term—This represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based upon expected exercise and expected post-vesting termination.

Risk-free interest rate—The assumption is based upon the observed U.S. treasury rate appropriate for the expected life of the employee stock options.

Expected volatility—The expected volatility assumption is based upon the weighted-average historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant based on the contractual term of the awards, adjusted for activity which is not expected to occur in the future. Dividend yield—The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.


The fair value of granted stock options was $3.50 million and $5.17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Any option granted under the Plan may include tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”SARs”). SARSARs may also be awarded to eligible persons independent of any option.

18.20.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In October 2021, the Company reached an agreement with a party to resolve a long-standing dispute through mediation and the Company has agreed to pay $0.43 million without admitting any fault. The Company accrued the full amount on the financial statements as of September 30, 2021.


 

A subsidiary of the Company, Ittella Italy, is involved in certain litigation related to the death of an independent contractor who fell off of the roof of Ittella Italy’s premises while performing pest control services. The case was brought by five relatives of the deceased worker. The five plaintiffs are seeking collectively 1.87 million Euros from the defendants. In addition to Ittella Italy, the pest control company for which the deceased was working at the time of the accident is co-defendant. Furthermore, under Italian law, the president of an Italian company is automatically criminally charged if a workplace death occurs on site. Ittella Italy has engaged local counsel, and while local counsel does not believe it is probable that Ittella Italy or its president will be found culpable, Ittella Italy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Procedurally, the case remains in a very early stage of the litigation. Ultimately, a trial will be required to determine if the defendants are liable, and if they are liable, a second separate proceeding will be required to establish the amount of damages owed by each of the co-defendants. Ittella Italy believes any required payment could be covered by its insurance policy; however, it is not possible to determine the amount at which the insurance company will reimburse Ittella Italy or whether any reimbursement will be received at all. Based on information received from its Italian lawyers, Ittella Italy believes that the litigation may continue for a number of years before it is finally resolved.

Based on the assessment by management together with the independent assessment from its local legal counsel, theThe Company believes that a loss from the Ittella Italy litigation is currently not probable, and an estimate cannot be made. Therefore, no accrual has been made as of March 31,September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

19.21.CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Ittella Properties LLC (“Properties”), the Company’s consolidated VIE, owns the Alondra Building, which is leased by Ittella International for 10 years from August 1, 2015 through August 1, 2025. Properties is wholly owned by Salvatore Galletti. The construction and acquisition of the Alondra building by Properties were funded by a loan agreement with unconditional guarantees by Ittella International and terms providing that 100% of the Alondra building must be leased to Ittella International throughout the term of the loan agreement.

The Company concluded that it has a variable interest in Properties on the basis that Ittella International guarantees the loan for Properties and substantially all of Properties’ transactions occur with the Ittella International. Thus, Properties’ equity at risk is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support from Ittella International, and, therefore, Properties is considered a VIE.


The results of operations and cash flows of Properties are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three-monththree- and nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, 100% of the revenue of Properties is intercompany and thus was eliminated in consolidation. Properties contributed expenses of $0.05 million for both the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and $0.102020. Properties contributed expenses of $0.16 million and $0.20 million for the nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

For the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we had net losses of $8.17 million and $70.10 million, respectively. By comparison for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $8.18$3.25 million which included stock compensation expenses of $3.19 million, marketing expenses of $2.65 million, and promotional expenses of $1.93 million compared to net income of $5.90$3.46 million, respectively.

Compared with prior-year periods, the increase of net losses during 2021 is due to a number of factors, including significant increases in (i) income tax expense for the period, primarily attributable to the $47.22 million valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets, (ii) operating expenses resulting from being a public reporting company during the 2021 periods, (iii) freight and container costs, (iv) promotional, sales commission and marketing expenses to help build brand awareness and increase market share for the “Tattooed Chef” brand. The inflationary increases in freight and container costs from 2020 to 2021 show an increase of 2.09% when freight is taken as a percentage of revenue for the three months periods ended September 30 and an increase of 2.78% when freight is taken as a percentage of revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30.

We at times must contend with inflationary measures throughout our supply chain, which can lead to downward pressure on our gross margin due to price sensitivity on the part of our customers, which prevents us from recouping cost increases through price increases in certain cases.

We negotiate different prices at our different club and retail customers based on product quantity and packaging configuration. We consistently evaluate pricing to ensure that the brand is competitive in pricing based on our competitors. With the current economic conditions and inflation, we will continue to monitor raw materials, packaging, and freight costs to determine if increases in pricing are necessary or possible.

Revenue increased by $17.82 million, or 43.49%, to $58.78 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which included no stock compensation expenses, marketing expenses of $0.58 million,September 30, 2021 and promotional expenses of $0.04 million. The decrease is primarily due to the significant increase in operating expenses.

Revenue increased by $19.51$53.07 million, or 58.8%48.73%, to $52.68$161.97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $40.96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $33.17September 30, 2020 and $108.90 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The increase in revenue is primarily due to growth in sales of our “Tattooed Chef” branded products. For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we had $36.00$35.29 million of sales of “Tattooed Chef” branded products and $23.12 million of sales of private label products, compared to $17.60$22.63 million and $18.11 million during the 2020 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had $104.25 million in sales of “Tattooed Chef” branded products and $56.70 million of private label products, compared to $60.64 million and $47.50 million, respectively, for the 2020 period.

Cost of goods sold increased by $16.10 million, or 43.84%, to $52.84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Cost of goods sold increasedSeptember 30, 2021 and by $21.98$48.69 million, or 91.9%,53.14% to $45.90$140.30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $36.73 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and $91.62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the increase in sales volume and the increases in freight and container expenses due to inflation. Freight and container expenses increased as a percentage of revenue by 2.09% and 2.78% for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. Freight and container expenses were $8.86 million (15.07% of revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $23.93compared with $5.32 million (12.98% of revenue) for the same period in 2020. Freight and container expenses were $23.40 million (14.45% of revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $12.71 million (11.67% of revenue) for the same period in 2020.

Gross profit increased by $1.71 million, or 40.49%, to $5.94 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary reasonSeptember 30, 2021 and by $4.38 million, or 25.36% to $21.67 million for the increase is due to the increase in volume of product sold which accounts for an estimated $14.08 million of the increase. The remaining $7.90 million is attributable to increases in freight (inbound and outbound), cold storage expenses, fulfillment expenses, investment in facility improvements and personal protective equipment. These expenses have increased due to inflation.

Gross profit decreased by $2.47 million, or 26.7%, to $6.78nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $4.23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $9.24September 30, 2020 and $17.28 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The decreaseincrease is primarily due to the increasesincreased Tattooed Chef sales volume, improved production capacities, and our ability to take advantage of economies of scale, partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold noted previously.due largely to freight and container expense increases as described above.

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was 12.9%10.11% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 13.38%, as compared to 27.9%10.33% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 15.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Compared to both of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had lower margin during both of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The lower margin was primarily driven by the holiday month in August in Italy and the continual increase of freight and container expenses month by month. Due to the lower production volume in August, the fixed production costs resulted in higher unit cost and lower margin. We also acquired two facilities (NMFD and Karsten) in New Mexico in May 2021, NMFD is a private label food manufacturer that from which we will begin selling Tattooed Chef branded items in 2022. The facility today is not running at full capacity, and as we begin to sell more items from this facility it should help to offset fixed overhead costs and improve gross margin.

The slight decrease in margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the increases in raw materials, packaging, and freight and container costs due to inflation, as well as the two facilities in New Mexico that were newly acquired in May 2021, partially offset by the achievement of goods sold noted previously.economies scale from the increase of Tattooed Chef sales volume and improved production capacity. The decrease in margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is attributable to the building out of our infrastructure to support the current and expected growth in operations, increases in raw materials, packaging, and freight and container costs due to inflation, as well as the two facilities in New Mexico that were newly acquired in May 2021. NMFD currently only manufactures private label products, which have a lower margin when compared to our Tattooed Chef branded products. The facility is expected to be fully operational and manufacturing both private label and Tattooed Chef branded products during 2022. The Karsten facility is not currently in operation and is expected to become active during the first quarter of 2022.


Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 increased by $11.40$5.98 million, or 477.2%78.51%, to $13.80$13.60 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $32.26 million, or 256.26%, to $44.85 million, compared to $2.39$7.62 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and $12.59 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. TheCompared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, the increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to increased costs$3.36 million increase in marketing expenses, $0.38 million increase in sales commission expense, $0.47 million in resolution of operating as a public company, non-cashdispute and related fees, $0.84 million increase in stock compensation expense, $1.47 million operating expenses in NMFD which was newly acquired in May 2021 and additional marketing andoffset by $3.55 million decrease in professional expenses. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to $3.60 million increase in promotional expenses, that were not present$8.85 million increase in the first three months ended March 31, 2020. Wemarketing expenses, $1.53 million increase in sales commission expense, $1.09 million increase in professional expenses, $4.35 million increase in stock compensation expense, $2.03 million operating expenses in NMFD which was newly acquired in May 2021. However, we expect operating expenses to decrease over time as a percentage of revenue over time as manycertain relatively fixed operating expenses will be spread over increasing revenue. We are heavily investing in the Tattooed Chef brand in order to increase distribution, raise brand awareness, and drive sales in the new stores that are launching our products.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.96$4.97 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and negative $14.72 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to positive $7.05$1.60 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and positive $10.16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to public company accounting costs that were not present induring the first quarter of 2020. We also incurred $4.58 million2020 periods, as well as significant increases in marketing and promotional expenses, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to invest in the future of our Tattooed Chef brand. The benefits from these efforts are expected be realized in both the nearmarketing expenses, and distant future through brand expansions in revenuefreight and distribution.container expenses discussed above.

 


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in operating results, and provide additional insight on how the management team evaluates the business. Our management team uses Adjusted EBITDA to make operating and strategic decisions, evaluate performance and comply with indebtedness related reporting requirements. Below are details on this non-GAAP measure and the non-GAAP adjustments that the management team makes in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments generally fall within the categories of non-cash items, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, financing related costs and operating costs of a non-recurring nature. We believe this non-GAAP measure should be considered along with net income, the most closely related GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations between Adjusted EBITDA and net income are below, and discussion regarding underlying GAAP results throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As new events or circumstances arise, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definition and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA further adjustadjusts EBITDA by adding back non-cash compensation expenses, non-recurring expenses, and other non-operational charges. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the readers of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in the evaluation of our operating performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020September 30, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2021:September 30, 2020:

Liquidity and Capital Resources in Net Working Capital

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had $185.16$129.48 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this filing.

A letter of credit in the approximate amount of 445,000 Euros was outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The letter of credit was issued to guarantee the Italian facility lease.

Liquidity

We generally fund our short- and long-term liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and available borrowings under our line of credit (See “— Indebtedness” above). Our management regularly reviews certain liquidity measures to monitor performance.

Cash Flows

The following sectiontable presents the major components of net cash flows from and used inprovided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020:

Operating Activities

For threethe nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we realized a net loss of $8.15 million, including stock compensation expenses of $3.19 million, marketing expenses of $2.65 million, and promotional expenses of $1.93 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $17.58$33.13 million as compared to $1.82 million net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operations was driven primarily by the net loss of $70.10 million for the period, which is largely due to marketing expenses and promotional expenses mentioned before to build the Tattooed Chef brand and increase awarenessincome tax valuation allowance recorded as of June 30, 2021. During the products on the shelf to further drive revenue. There have also been increased costs compared to prior years in operating a public company. During thisnine-month period, non-cash items included depreciation expense of $0.55$2.51 million, stock compensation expense of $4.34 million, bad debt expense of $0.54 million and unrealized forward contract loss of $2.34 million. We purchased additional equipment in both facilitiesExpenses increased for the same period primarily due to increase capacityincreased spending on sales, promotion and throughput, resulting in greater depreciation add backsmarketing programs to operating cash. The additional capital expenditures have allowed us to produce more productheavily invest in the same footprintTattooed Chef brand and without increasing laborraise brand awareness, as well as the inflationary pricing on freight and container costs. Working capital usage has also increased largely due to a $3.45 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased revenue, a $4.10 million increase in inventory, a $3.09 million increase in prepaid expenses mainly due to the increase in prepaid advertising expenses, a $1.08 million decrease in deferred revenue and a $4.42 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

 

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, we realized net income of $5.90$3.46 million. Net cash used in operating activities was negligible at $0.01 million due toreduced by a $5.62$7.70 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased revenuesales volume and a $4.70$9.50 million increase in inventory to meet anticipated growth in sales, partially offset by a $3.68$15.79 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued expenses.

There were capital expenditures to build new lines in the Italy facility, as well as additional freezer space in the California facility.be $1.82 million.

 

We anticipate that our depreciation and amortization expense will increase for the balance of 2021 and for future periods based on capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment made in 2019 and 2020, and expected capital expenditures to expand production capabilities in both the Italy and California facilities. We also anticipate increases in stock-based compensation as we make equity grants to certain key employees, members of our management team and our Board of Directors.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities relates to capital expenditures to support growth and investment in property, plant and equipment to expand production capacity, tenant improvements, and to a lesser extent, replacement of existing equipment.


For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $2.85$46.97 million as compared to $1.65$5.92 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. Cash used in both periods consisted primarily of capital expenditures to improve efficiency and output from our current facilities.facilities and the expansion of existing production capacity through the acquisition of NMFD and Karsten and assets from Esogel and Ferdifin (see Note 10).

Financing Activities

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $73.50$78.12 million, primarily from $74.32 million due to warrant exercises.exercises and additional borrowings under the credit facility of $3.30 million to support working capital requirements to fund continued growth.

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.51approximately $3.30 million primarily attributable to a $4.30$9.66 million increase in our borrowings under theour credit facility to support working capital requirements to fund growth.growth, partially offset by $5.61 million in tax distributions to stockholders.

Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31,September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operatingOther than the lease obligations, purchase obligations, or long-termother liabilities reflected on the company’s balance sheet, we do not have any other than immaterial supplier contracts with growers in Italy to ensure that product is available to fulfill demand.material contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies: 

Valuation of Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares

We recognized and measured the contingent amounts associated with the Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares at fair value as of the Closing dateDate of $120.35 million and $0, respectively, using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. These measures are based upon significant inputs that are not observable by the market and are therefore considered to be Level 3 inputs. Refer to Note 1012 to our consolidated financial statements for discussion related to the measurement and recognition.

 


Revenue Recognition

We sell plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the U.S. and Italy. All of our revenue relates to contracts with customers. Our accounting contracts are from purchase orders or purchase orders combined with purchase contracts. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We review and update our estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market. 

 


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on our assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of accounts receivable. Although management believes the current allowance is sufficient to cover existing exposures, there can be no assurance against the deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or against defaults that are higher than what has been experienced historically.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets

We establish an income tax valuation allowance when available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider the amounts and timing of expected future deductions or carryforwards and sources of taxable income that may enable utilization. We maintain an existing valuation allowance until enough positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in the amount or timing of expected future deductions or taxable income may have a material impact on the level of income tax valuation allowances. Our assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets requires judgment about its future results. Inherent in this estimation is the requirement for us to estimate future book and taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. These estimates require us to exercise judgment about our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic environment in which it does business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustments to the allowance. Adjustments to the allowance would affect future net income.

Warrant Liabilities

 

We account for the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with our private placements in accordance with ASC 815, whereby the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as liabilities as they do not meet the criteria for an equity classification. As the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, they are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not requiredWe are exposed to market risk for smaller reporting companies.the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is set forth below.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we identified fivesix material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


The first material weakness is related to the lack of design or maintenance of an effective control environment commensurate with financial reporting requirements and lack of a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the appropriate level of experience and training.


The second material weakness is related to a lack of design and maintenance of formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurateprevent and timely financial accounting, reportingdetect material misstatements related to the presentation and disclosures of the consolidated financial statements and monitoring controls maintained at the corporate level which are at a sufficient level of precision to provide for the appropriate level of oversight of activities related to our internal control overensure their compliance with applicable financial reporting.reporting requirements.

The third material weakness is related to a lack of implementation and maintenance of appropriate information technology general controls, including controls over data center and network operations, system software acquisition, change and maintenance, program changes, access security and application system acquisition, development, and maintenance.

The fourth material weakness is related to a lack of design and maintenance of effective controls over segregation of duties with respect to the preparation and review of account reconciliations as well as the creation and posting of manual journal entries.

The fifth material weakness relates to the lack of design and maintenance of formal accounting policies, processes and controls to analyze, account for and disclose significant, unusual, and complex transactions.

The sixth material weakness relates to the lack of design and maintenance of formal processes, procedures and controls over the preparation and review of the general ledger, account reconciliations, consolidation schedules, and other supporting schedules used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that operated on a timely basis, at an appropriate frequency and at a sufficient level of precision to prevent or detect material misstatements in the consolidated financial statements.

We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal controls measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses. Our efforts include a number of actions:

We hired qualified staff and outside resources to segregate key functions within our financial and information technology processes supporting our internal controls over financial reporting.

We developed internal controls documentation, including comprehensive accounting policies and procedures and designed, implemented, and tested new controls over certain key financial processes.processes and related disclosures.

While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31,September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described above.

  

However, after giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, and the additional analyses and other procedures that we performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than described above in this Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
