NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Jones Soda Co. develops, produces, markets and distributes premium beverages
,
which
it
sell
s
and distribute
s
primarily in the
United States and Canada
through
its
network of independent distributors and directly to
its
national and regional retail accounts.
We are a Washington corporation and have two operating subsidiaries, Jones Soda Co. (USA) Inc. and Jones Soda (Canada) Inc. (the “Subsidiaries”).
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017, has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations applicable to interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and accounts of our Subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions between us and our Subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016
.
Liquidity
As of
March 31, 2017
, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55
4
,000 and working capital of
$1.6
million. Cash provided by operations during the three months ended
March 31, 2017
totaled $
371,000 compared to cash used in operations of $67,000
for the same period a year ago. The increase in cash provided by operations compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to the timing of production and certain receivables. We reported a net loss of $197
,000
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
.
As of the date of this Report, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, combined with available borrowings under our Loan Facility and anticipated cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs through March 31, 2018.
We have a revolving secured credit facility (the “Loan Facility”) with
CapitalSource
Business Finance
Group
. The Loan Facility allows us to borrow a maximum aggregate amount of up to
$3.2 million based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2017, our accounts receivable and inventory eligible borrowing base was approximately $1.9 million, of which we had drawn down approximately $634,000.
See Note 3 for further information.
We may require additional financing to support our working capital needs in the future. The amount of additional capital we may require, the timing of our capital needs and the availability of financing to fund those needs will depend on a number of factors, including our strategic initiatives and operating plans, the performance of our business and the market conditions for available debt or equity financing. Additionally, the amount of capital required will depend on our ability to meet our case sales goals and otherwise successfully execute our operating plan. We believe it is imperative that we meet these sales objectives in order to lessen our reliance on external financing in the future. We intend to continually monitor and adjust our business plan as necessary to respond to developments in our business, our markets and the broader economy. Although we believe various debt and equity financing alternatives will be available to us to support our working capital needs, financing arrangements on acceptable terms may not be available to us when needed. Additionally, these alternatives may require significant cash payments for interest and other costs or could be highly dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any such financing alternatives may not provide us with sufficient funds to meet our long-term capital requirements. If necessary, we may explore strategic transactions that we consider to be in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, which may include, without limitation, public or private offerings of debt or equity securities, a rights offering, and other strategic alternatives; however, these options may not ultimately be available or feasible.
The uncertainties relating to our ability to successfully execute on our business plan and finance our operations continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the periods presented were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will continue in operation for the
foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Seasonality and other fluctuations
Our sales are seasonal and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. We historically have generated a greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Sales may fluctuate materially on a quarter to quarter basis or an annual basis when we launch a new product or fill the “pipeline” of a new distribution partner or a large retail partner such as 7-Eleven. Sales results may also fluctuate based on the number of SKUs selected or removed by our distributors and retail partners through the normal course of serving consumers in the dynamic, trend-oriented beverage industry. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.

Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives and valuation of capital assets, valuation allowances for receivables, trade promotion liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, contingencies, and forecasts supporting the going concern assumption and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606
(“ASU 2014-09”) to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five steps process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the fiscal and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented within the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. We will be required to make additional disclosures under the new guidance. However, at this time, we do not expect adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11,
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory: Topic 330
(“ASU 2015-11”), to amend Topic 330, Inventory. Topic 330 currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory measured using either the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, or average cost method be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We will adopt ASU 2015-11 as required in our 2017 interim and annual reporting periods. We
adopted ASU 2015-11 during 2017 without
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17,
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes: Topic 740
(“ASU 2015-17”). Current GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction. We adopted ASU 2015-17 during 2016 and subsequent to our adoption, all of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, will be classified as noncurrent on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,
Leases: Topic 842
(“ASU 2016-2”), which supersedes Accounting Standards Update Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-2 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than twelve months to its balance sheets. ASU 2016-2 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-2 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-2 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments: Credit Losses
that changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
that clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Line of Credit
We have
a revolving secured Loan Facility with
CapitalSource Business Finance Group (“CapitalSource”)
, pursuant to which we, through our Subsidiaries, may borrow a maximum aggregate amount of up to
$3.2
million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
T
he current term of the Loan Facility expires on December 27, 2017, unless renewed.
Under th
e
Loan Facility, we may periodically request advances equal to the lesser of: (a) $3.2 million, or (b) the Borrowing Base which is, in the following priority, the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible U.S. accounts receivable, plus (ii) 35% of finished goods inventory not to exceed $475,000, plus (iii) 50% of eligible Canadian accounts receivable not to exceed
$300,000, subject to any reserve amount established by CapitalSource
. As of
March 31, 2017
, our accounts receivable and inventory eligible borrowing base was approximately
$1.9
million, of which we had drawn down
approximately
$
634,000
.
As amended by the December 2016 renewal, advances under the Loan Facility bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.75%, where prime may not be less than 0%, and a loan fee of 0.10% on the daily loan balance is payable monthly. The Loan Facility
provides for a minimum cumulative amount of interest of $30,000 per year to be paid to CapitalSource, regardless of whether or not we draw on the Loan Facility.
CapitalSource has the right to terminate the Loan Facility at any time upon 120 days’ prior written notice. All present and future obligations of the Subsidiaries arising under the Loan Facility are guaranteed by us and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets. The Loan Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants.
As of
March 31, 2017
,
we were in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Facility
.
The draws on the Loan Facility were used to fulfill working capital needs. We will continue to utilize the Loan Facility, as needed, for working capital needs in the future.
4.
Warrants
As
part of our registered offering
in February 2012
,
we sold
and issued
w
arrants
for the
purchase
of
up to
3,207,500
shares of common stock.
Each
w
arrant has an exercise price of
$
0.70
per share, for total potential proceeds to us of up to
$
2,245,250
if all of the
w
arrants are exercised in full
and in
cash. The
w
arrants are exercisable for cash or, solely in the absence of an effective registration statement, by cashless exercise. The exercise price of the
w
arrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions, and also upon any distributions to Company shareholders, business combinations, sale of substantially all assets and other fundamental transactions. The exercise of the
w
arrants is subject to certain beneficial ownership
limitations
and other
restrictions
set forth in the
w
arrant
document
s. The term of the
w
arrants expire
s
on
August
6, 2017
.
Any remaining warrants that are outstanding on
August 6, 2017
, the expiration date, will automatically be exercised at that time by cashless exercise (if volume weighted average trading price of our common stock as of such date exceeds $0.70 per share).
As of
March 31, 2017
,
3,057,500
of the
w
arrants remain outstanding
.
No
w
arrants were exercised during the
three months ended
March 31, 2017

Shareholders’ Equity
Under the terms of our 2011 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the number of shares authorized under the Plan may be increased each January 1st by an amount equal to the least of (a)
1,300,000
shares, (b)
4.0
%
of our outstanding common stock as of the end of our immediately preceding fiscal year, and (c) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), provided that the number of shares that may be granted pursuant to awards in a single year may not exceed
10
%
of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year. Effective January 1, 2017, the total number of shares of common stock authorized under the Plan increased to
a total of
10,784,032
shares.
Under the terms of the Plan, the Board may grant awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors. Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards or other stock or cash-based awards. Stock options are granted at the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, and generally have a
ten
-year term and vest over a period of
48
months
with the first
25.0
%
cliff vesting
one
year
from the grant date and the remaining
75.0%
vesting in equal monthly increments thereafter. As of
March 31, 2017
, there were
5,023,938
shares of unissued common stock authorized and available for future awards under the Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense:
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the employees’ requisite service period. We recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock options or restricted stock expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to stock-based compensation expense may be required in future periods.
At
March 31, 2017
, we had unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options of
$
232,000
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.6
years.
