(Unaudited)
Note
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh
Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February
25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. We are engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready to blend beverages, particularly,
smoothies, shakes and frappes.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Basis
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh
Inc. and Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
amount of cash on deposit with financial institutions can be in excess of the $250,000 federally insured limit. However, we believe
that cash on deposit that exceeds $250,000 in the financial institutions is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
Restricted
Cash
The
Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which
enhances and clarifies the guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows and
requires additional disclosures about restricted cash balances. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $368,582
and $91,385, respectively, in restricted cash related to a co-packing agreement.
Fair
Value Measurement
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and
establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy
as follows:
Level
1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types
of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities
listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Level
2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of
the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities
or contracts or priced with models using highly observable inputs.
Level
3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included
in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models
and forecasts used to determine the fair value.
Our
financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivative liabilities, and convertible notes. The
carrying value of our financial instruments approximates their fair value, except for the derivative liability in which carrying
value is fair value.
6
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are typically unsecured. Our credit policy calls for payment generally within 30 days. The credit worthiness of a customer
is evaluated prior to a sale. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts
was $141,788 and $141,788, respectively. The allowance was estimated based on evaluation of collectability of outstanding accounts
receivable.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of raw materials and finished goods and is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in first out
basis. The Company monitors the remaining useful life of its inventory and establishes a reserve of obsolescence where appropriate.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s inventory reserve was $56,476 and $100,651, respectively.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are comprised of patents, net of amortization and trademarks. The patent costs are being amortized over the life of the
patent, which is twenty years from the date of filing the patent application. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles
– Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the costs of internally developing other intangible assets, such as patents,
are expensed as incurred. However, as allowed by ASC 350, costs associated with the acquisition of patents from third parties,
legal fees and similar costs relating to patents have been capitalized.
In
accordance with ASC 350 legal costs related to trademarks have been capitalized. We have determined that trademarks have an indeterminable
life and therefore are not being amortized.
Long-Lived
Assets and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
We
evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest
level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability
of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected
to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable,
the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any impairment charges during the periods presented.
Property,
Plant, and Equipment
Property,
plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized
over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term that includes any expected renewal periods that are deemed
to be reasonably assured. The estimated useful lives used for financial statement purposes are:
Furniture
and fixtures: 5 years
Manufacturing
equipment and customer equipment: 3 years to 7 years
Vehicles:
5 years
Leases:
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease upon inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right to control the use of an
asset includes the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the underlying asset and the right to direct
how and for what purpose the asset is used.
After
adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related standards, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement
date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a lessee, the Company
leases office space.
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised
goods. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2018, with no significant impact to its financial position
or results of operations, using the modified retrospective method. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
1)
Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each
party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially
all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales
order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
7
2)
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.
For the Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
3)
Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring
goods and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based rebates
or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method.
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since
our contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated
to that single performance obligation.
5)
Recognize
Revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the
goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based
rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and storage costs are
treated as fulfillment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
The
Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a
single product, frozen beverages.
Research
and Development
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to general and administrative and are expensed
as incurred. We incurred $91,738 and $127,123, in research and development expenses for the three-months ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, research and development costs totaled $270,892
and $400,108, respectively.
Shipping
and Storage Costs
Shipping
and storage costs are included in general and administrative expenses. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, shipping and storage costs totaled $126,737 and $248,291, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, shipping and storage costs totaled $356,270 and $681,188, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes
(“ASC 740”). Under this 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any 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.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements,
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized
in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant
facts.
ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more
than likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.
8
For
the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any interest and penalties or any unrecognized uncertain
tax positions.
Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and
Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of any derivative is marked-to-market each balance
sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value
is recorded in the statement of operations as gain/loss from derivative liability. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative
instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
We analyzed the derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining
whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope
exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative
instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s
own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must
be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed
to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed
by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or
sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Debt
Extinguishment
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.”
For all extinguishments of debt, ASC 470-50 requires the difference between the reacquisition price (including any premium) and
the net carrying amount of the debt being extinguished (including any deferred debt issuance costs) to be recognized as a gain
or loss when the debt is extinguished. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net gain $0 and $379,200, respectively, non-cash gain
on extinguishment of debt in its statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Earnings
per Share
We
calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is
computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. At September 30, 2020 and 2019,
any equivalents would have been anti-dilutive as we had losses for the three and nine months then ended.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
calculate stock compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Based Compensation (“ASC 718”).
ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and
establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities
to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity
instruments held by employee stock ownership plans.
Recent
pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact
of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.
On
October 1, 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying
the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04) using the prospective approach, which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment
test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting
unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance was effective beginning
January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.

6. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan
The
Company was granted a $568,131 loan under the PPP administered by a Small Business Administration (SBA) approved partner.
The loan, which matures in two years, is uncollateralized and is fully guaranteed by the Federal government. The Company is eligible
for loan forgiveness of up to 100% of the loan, upon meeting certain requirements. The Company has recorded a note payable and
will record the forgiveness upon being legally released from the loan obligation by the SBA. No forgiveness income has been recorded
for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company will be required to repay any remaining balance, plus interest accrued at
1 percent, in monthly payments commencing upon notification that the loan will not be forgiven or only partially forgiven.

7. Convertible Notes (Related and Unrelated Party)
On
March 20, 2020, we completed a Private Placement offering of $3,825,000 of common stock. In connection with the transaction, the
Company offered the Convertible Noteholders of Series CN Note 1 and 2 to participate in the equity offering. A total of $720,000
principal balance of Series CN 1 was converted into common stock [$630,000 from related parties]. The Series CN Note 1 Noteholders
were offered bonus interest equivalent to 20% of their outstanding principal which was converted to common stock. For $1,071,000
of the remaining $1,186,167 Series CN Note 1 Noteholders that chose not to participate in the equity offering, the terms of the
Series CN Note 1 were amended to increase the interest rate to 15% per annum and to extend the maturity of the outstanding principal
balance by 24 months to March 20, 2022. The notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity into our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.50 per share. If the six month price is less than the $0.50 per share, the principal conversion price will
be automatically reduced to the $0.50 per share, but in no event less than $0.35 per Share, in which case the Company shall issue
to each purchaser, based on such purchaser’s investment, (a) shares in a quantity that equals the difference between the
number of Shares issued to such purchaser at closing and the number of Shares that would have been issued to such purchaser at
closing at the $0.50 per share and (b) warrants in a quantity that equals fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the number
of shares issued to such Purchaser at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such purchaser at closing
at the $0.50 per share, with an exercise price that equals the sum of $0.10 per share and the $0.50 per share, but in no event
less than $0.45 per share. The exercise price per share for the Convertible Note Warrants and the Bonus Warrant issued at closing
will automatically adjust as well to the sum of $0.10 per share and the Six Month Price, but in no event less than $0.45 per share.
There were 864,000 O warrants issued to the Series CN Note 1 Noteholders for participating in the common stock offering.
On
March 20, 2020, 1,082,727 of the original L Warrants related to the Series CN Note 1 Noteholders had their terms modified, whereby
the exercise price was reduced from $0.70 to $0.50 per share. In addition, the Series CN Note 1 Noteholders that chose to extend
their notes for 24 months were granted 1,071,000 Series P warrants. The fair value of the warrants, ($92,266 in the aggregate
which consists of the L and P Warrants), were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Based
on the relative fair value, we recorded a debt discount of $75,184 related to the issue of P Warrants to CN 1 and CN 2 Noteholders.
The modification of the L Warrants resulted in an incremental increase in fair value of $17,082, which was recorded as a debt
discount.

On
March 20, 2020, a total of $1,128,000 principal balance of Series CN Note 2 was converted into common stock [$560,000 from related
parties]. The Noteholders were offered bonus interest equivalent to 20% of their outstanding principal and converted their accrued
interest into common stock. For $168,000 of the remaining $235,200 Series CN Note 2 Noteholders that chose not to participate
in the equity offering, the terms of the Series CN Note 2 were amended to extend the maturity of the outstanding principal balance
by 12 months to November 30, 2021. The notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity into our common stock at a conversion
price of $0.60 per share. There were 1,501,012 O warrants issued to the Series CN Note 2 Noteholders for participating in the
common stock offering.
The

On
March 20, 2020, the Company and the Holders of the Series CN Note 1 and Note 2 mutually agreed to amend its terms to change
the maturity date to March 20, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance
with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, which states that for all extinguishments of debt, the difference between
the reacquisition price (including any premium) and the net carrying amount of the debt being extinguished (including any deferred
debt issuance costs) should be recognized as a gain or loss when the debt is extinguished. Accordingly, the Company recorded a
net gain on extinguishment of debt of $379,200 which was comprised of a gain of $437,201, offset by a loss of $58,001. The gain
of $437,201 related to the portion of Convertible Notes that were converted to common stock on March 20, 2020. The loss on extinguishment
of debt of $58,001 related to the portion of Convertible Notes that were extended by either 24 months for Milestone I, or 12 months
for Milestone II.
Note
8. Derivative Liabilities
As
discussed in Note 7, Convertible Notes, the Company issued Series CN Note acceleration offer convertible notes payable that provide
variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the
future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price
of the Company’s common stock, therefore the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory
note is indeterminate.
The
Convertible Noteholders discussed in Note 7 were provided the option of extending their notes by 24 months or 12 months for the
Milestone I March 14, 2020 and Milestone II November 30, 2020 Convertible Note maturities, respectively. Upon completion of the
March 20, 2020 offering for common stock and debt restructuring, a balance of $110,167 of Series CN 1 and $168,000 in CN 2 was
neither converted, nor extended under the terms of the amendments to both maturities. Consequently, the derivative liabilities
referred to above survived outside of debt conversion and modified extension terms and were valued at $0 as of September 30, 2020.
The
fair values of the Company’s derivative liabilities are estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent
reporting date. The Company recognized a debt discount and related derivative liability of $13,528 at March 20, 2020 related to
the Series CN 2 extension. The derivative liability was revalued at September 30, 2020 with a value of $21,033.
The
fair value of the derivative liabilities for CN Convertible Note 2 of 2 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model using the
following assumptions.

On
March 20, 2020, the Company completed additional funding, including a Private Placement Offering for common shares priced at $0.50
per share (subject to adjustment) in the amount of $3.825 million and the issuance of 7,650,000 shares. The $3.825 million was
received and collected in April 2020. The investors of this Private Placement Offering will be granted O warrants to be eligible
to purchase an additional 0.50 shares for every share issued to each purchaser, exercisable for a period of 3 years at an exercise
price of $0.60 per share (subject to adjustment). If the volume-weighted average trading price for the 20 consecutive trading
days that conclude upon 6 months after the initial closing (the “Six Month Price”) exceeds or equals $0.50 per share
(the “Target Price”), the per share purchase price will not be adjusted. If the Six Month Price is less than the Target
Price, the per share purchase price will be automatically reduced to the Six Month Price, but in no event less than $0.35 per
share, in which case the Company shall issue to each investor, pro-rata based on such investor’s investment: (a) shares
in a quantity that equals the difference between the number of shares issued to such purchaser at closing and the number of shares
that would have been issued to such purchaser at closing at the Six Month Price; and (b) a warrant for a number of shares of common
stock equal to 50% of the difference between the number of shares issued to such investor at closing and the number of shares
that would have been issued to such investor at closing at the Six Month Price, with an exercise price equal to the sum of $0.10
per share and the Six Month Price, but in no eventless than $0.45 per share. The exercise price per share for each warrant will
automatically adjust to the sum of $0.10 per share and the Six-Month Price, but in no event less than $0.45 per share
On
September 28, 2020, the Company determined the volume-weighted average price was below the $0.35 per share and consequently issued
5,305,725 additional shares in accordance with provisions of the Private Placement Offering. Similarly, the Company issued an
additional 2,652,868 Warrants to investors that contributed capital or exercised the conversion of their convertible note. Lastly,
the Company issued an additional 459,000 Warrants for convertible noteholders that extended their convertible notes.

12. Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC
740”). Under this 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 basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce
the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a valuation allowance on all
tax assets. As of September 30, 2020, the estimated effective tax rate for the year will be zero.
There
are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2009
through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the
statement of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded.
ASC
740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
For
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any interest and penalties associated with
tax positions. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Note
13. Liquidity
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used cash for operations of $2,517,269 and purchased equipment for $40,873. We sold
common stock in the amount of $3,825,000 and converted $2,394,763 of principal and interest from our Convertible Notes into equity.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used $3,191,642 of cash for operations and purchased equipment for $418,456.
We raised cash of $2,400,000 from the issuance of common stock and we raised cash from the exercise of warrants in the amount
of $1,500,310.
We
have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow. As our operations grow, we expect to experience significant increases
in our working capital requirements. Management has evaluated these conditions and concluded substantial doubt was mitigated due
to measures taken to by the Company to manage its cash burn rate, launch new products to offset the impact of COVID-19 on existing
products, reduce General & Administrative expenses and Cost of Goods Sold. However, the Company cannot predict, with certainty,
the outcome of its actions to preserve liquidity, including the accuracy of its financial forecast, the ability to sustain the
current trend of cost cutting, the ability to raise additional capital or to extend the maturity date of the debt that is maturing
in March of 2022.
As
of September 30, 2020, we had $2,743,523 of cash and restricted cash on the balance sheet. We have continued to significantly
reduce core operating expenses, reducing total General and Administrative Expense in the first nine months of 2020 by $2,165,849,
or 40%, as compared with the first nine months of 2019. The Company’s forecast for the next twelve months reflects a continuation
of the improvement in cash flow from operations as the Company continues to reduce operating expenses and increase contracts with
school locations, and military bases, and anticipates the roll-out of a new product launch with the Twist & Go 8oz bottles.
The Company has implemented cost reduction measures which will reduce cash expenses over the next twelve months, which includes
reduced headcount.
Note
14. Subsequent Events
The
impact of COVID-19 on the Company is evolving rapidly with events unfolding on a daily and weekly basis. The direct impact to
our operations took affect at the close of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Specifically, our business has been impacted
by dining bans targeted at restaurants to reduce the size of public gatherings. Restaurant chains have closed operations and furloughed
employees which precludes our single serve products from being served at those establishments. Many school districts closed regular
attendance during the 2019-2020 school year and have extended this for the 2020-2021 school year. This directly impacts the sales
of our Bulk Product into that sales channel. Our headquarter office is located in Los Angeles, California, one of the hardest
affected states. We have not experienced a disruption in the supply chain for the manufacturing of our products. The Company applied
for and obtained a Small Business Administration loan under the Paycheck Protection Program [PPP] of the CARES Act for approximately
$568,000. On June 5, 2020, the President signed a bill which extended the period of loan forgiveness for PPP loans from 8 to 24
weeks, which we believe will enable the loan to be completely forgiven. While many states have commenced the process of reopening
various types of businesses, the path to recovering normal activity volumes is uncertain. Consequently, the developments surrounding
COVID-19 remain fluid and will require the Company to continue to monitor news headlines from government and health officials,
as well as, the business community.

Barfresh
is a leader in the creation, manufacturing and distribution of ready to blend frozen beverages. The current portfolio of products
includes smoothies, shakes and frappes. Products are packaged in two distinct formats. The Company’s original single serve
format features portion controlled and ready to blend beverage ingredient packs or “beverage packs”. The beverage
packs contain all of the solid ingredients necessary to make the beverage, including the base (either sorbet, frozen yogurt or
ice cream), real fruit pieces, juices and ice – five ounces of water are added before blending.
The
Company’s bulk “Easy Pour” format also contains all of the solid ingredients necessary to make the beverage,
packaged in gallon containers in a concentrated formula that is mixed “one to one” with water. The Company has recently
launched a “no sugar added” version of the bulk “Easy Pour” format that is specifically targeted for the
USDA national school meal program, including the School Breakfast Program, the National School Lunch Program, and Smart Snacks
in Schools Program. The Company currently provides its products to over 400 school locations. In addition, the Company recently
received approval from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) to sell its smoothie products into all branches
of the U.S. Armed Forces, and has begun to sell its bulk Easy Pour product into a number of military bases in the United States.
The Company currently provides its products to over 150 military base locations.
Domestic
and international patents and patents pending are owned by Barfresh, as well as related trademarks for all of the single serve
products. Patent rights have been granted in 13 jurisdictions including the United States. In addition, the Company has purchased
all of the trademarks related to the patented products.
The
Company conducts sales through several channels, including National Accounts, Regional Accounts, and Broadline Distributors. Barfresh’s
primary broadline distribution arrangement is through an exclusive nationwide agreement with Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”),
the U.S.’s largest broadline distributor, which was entered into during July 2014, and the exclusivity provisions of the
contract were renewed for an additional two year term on October 2, 2017. On October 2, 2019, the exclusive distribution agreement
with Sysco expired, opening the possibility to expand distribution with other distributors outside of the Sysco system.
During
2016 and 2017 the Company announced that it had signed supply agreements with several of the major global on-site foodservice
operators. On March 8, 2018, the Company announced that it had signed a new supply agreement with one of the largest of these
foodservice operators, for exclusive distribution of four of Barfresh’s single serve SKUs. On November 14, 2018, the Company
announced that it had received approval for multiple products to be rolled out to a national restaurant chain with over 2,500
locations.
The
Company also sells to broadline distributors that supply products to the food services marketplace. Effective July 2, 2014, the
Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Sysco Merchandising and Supply Chain Services, Inc. for resale by the Sysco Corporation
(“Sysco”) to the foodservice industry of the Company’s ready-to-blend smoothies, shakes and frappes. Pursuant
to that agreement, all Barfresh products are included in Sysco’s national core selection of beverage items, making Barfresh
its exclusive single-serve, pre-portioned beverage provider. The agreement is mutually exclusive; however, Barfresh may also sell
the products to other foodservice distributors, but only to the extent required for such foodservice distributors to service multi-unit
chain operators with at least 20 units and where Sysco is not such multi- unit chain operator’s nominated distributor for
our products. On October 2, 2017, the exclusivity provisions of the Sysco agreement were extended for an additional two-year period,
and expanded to cover bulk easy pour products, on a non-exclusive basis. On October 2, 2019, the exclusive distribution agreement
with Sysco expired, opening the possibility to expand distribution with other distributors outside of the Sysco system.

On
October 26, 2015, Barfresh signed a five year agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, a division of PepsiCo, to become
its exclusive sales representative within the food service channel to present Barfresh’s line of ready-to-blend smoothies
and frozen beverages throughout the United States and Canada. Through this agreement, Barfresh’ products are included as
part of PepsiCo’s offerings to its significant customer base. The agreement facilitates access to potential National customer
accounts, through introductions provided by PepsiCo’s one thousand plus person foodservice sales team. Barfresh products
have become part of PepsiCo’s customer presentations at national trade shows and similar venues. On May 30, 2019, the Company
amended its agreement with Pepsi which included a reduction in the commission fee and a clause which allows either party the right
to terminate the agreement upon 90 days written notice. Neither party has exercised its right to terminate the agreement.
Barfresh
utilizes contract manufacturers to manufacture all of the products in the United States. Production lines are currently operational
at four locations. The first location is in Utah, which currently produces bulk easy pour products. The second location in Arkansas
produces single serve product. The agreement for single serve product, which was signed during June 2020, secures the capacity
to ramp up to an incremental production capacity of 100 million units. This location enhances the Company’s ability to efficiently
move product throughout the supply chain to destinations in the eastern United States, home to many of the country’s large
foodservice outlets. The third location is based in Pennsylvania, where our 8oz Twist & Go products are manufactured. Lastly,
our 5:1 juice concentrate is produced in Illinois.
During
November 2016, the Company received an equity investment from Unibel, the majority shareholder of the Bel Group (“Unibel”).
The Bel Group is headquartered in Paris, France, with global operations in 33 countries, 30 production sites on 4 continents and
nearly 12,000 employees. Its many branded products, including The Laughing Cow®, Mini Babybel® and Boursin®, are sold
in over 130 countries around the world. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, Unibel purchased 15,625,000 shares of common
stock at $0.64 per share (“Shares”) and warrants to purchase 7,812,500 shares of common stock (“Warrants”)
for aggregate gross proceeds to Barfresh of $10 million. The Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at a per share
price of $.88 for cash. Pursuant to the Investor Rights agreement, Barfresh has registered the Shares and the Warrants, and Unibel
was granted a seat on the Barfresh Board. This strategic investment provided Barfresh with necessary capital while leveraging
Unibel’s more than 150 years of industrial expertise, innovative capabilities, world-class marketing and branding expertise
to accelerate our growth in new and existing markets and product channels.
On
March 20, 2020, the Company completed additional funding, including a Private Placement Offering for common shares priced at $0.50
per share (subject to adjustment) in the amount of $3.825 million and the issuance of 7,650,000 shares. The investors of this
Private Placement Offering were granted O warrants to be eligible to purchase an additional 0.50 shares for every share issued
to each purchaser, exercisable for a period of 3 years at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (subject to adjustment). If the
volume-weighted average trading price for the 20 consecutive trading days that conclude upon 6 months after the initial closing
(the “Six Month Price”) exceeds or equals $0.50 per share (the “Target Price”), the per share purchase
price will not be adjusted. If the Six Month Price is less than the Target Price, the per share purchase price will be automatically
reduced to the Six Month Price, but in no event less than $0.35 per share, in which case the Company shall issue to each investor,
pro-rata based on such investor’s investment: (a) shares in a quantity that equals the difference between the number of
shares issued to such purchaser at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such purchaser at closing at
the Six Month Price; and (b) a warrant for a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the difference between the number
of shares issued to such investor at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such investor at closing
at the Six Month Price, with an exercise price equal to the sum of $0.10 per share and the Six Month Price, but in no event less
than $0.45 per share. The exercise price per share for each warrant will automatically adjust to the sum of $0.10 per share and
the Six-Month Price, but in no event less than $0.45 per share.
In
addition, the Company obtained a 24-month extension on $1,071,000 of principal, and conversion of $720,000 of principal, of the
Milestone I Convertible Notes at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The remaining $110,166 was extended for thirty days. The
interest rate on the principal balance of the extended Milestone I Convertible Notes was amended to 15%. Furthermore, the Company
obtained a 12-month extension on $168,000 in principal, and conversion of $1,128,000 in principal of the Milestone II Convertible
Notes. The remaining $67,200 was extended for thirty days. The Convertible Noteholders of the Milestone I and II Convertible Notes
were granted additional interest depending upon their election to convert or extend their Convertible Notes. The Noteholders of
Milestone I that chose to extend their notes for 24 months were granted 1,071,000 P warrants with similar terms to the O Warrants
mentioned above.
The
convertible notes are unsecured and have (i) a 24-month term and a 20-month term, (ii) a 15% and 10% annual coupon to be paid
in cash or stock at the Company’s discretion at a conversion price equal to 85% of the average closing bid prices of the
Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the payment date, but in no event lower
than sixty cents ($0.60) per share of Common Stock. The investors may elect to convert their principal into common stock at a
conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) $0.88 per share of Common Stock, or (ii) 85% of the average closing bid prices of
the Common Stock over the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date of investor’s election
to convert; but in no event lower than $0.60 per share of Common Stock. Investors also received warrant coverage of 25% of the
number of shares that would be issuable upon a full conversion of the principal amount at an average of the twenty consecutive
trading day period immediately preceding the applicable closing date. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years
for cash at the greater of 120% of the closing price or $0.70 per share of common stock.
On
September 28, 2020, the Company determined the volume-weighted average price was below the $0.35 per share and consequently issued
5,305,725 additional shares in accordance with provisions of the Private Placement Offering. Similarly, the Company issued an
additional 2,652,868 Warrants to investors that contributed capital or exercised the conversion of their convertible notes.
Lastly, the Company issued an additional 459,000 Warrants for convertible noteholders that extended their convertible notes.
Currently,
we have 17 employees and 2 consultants. There are currently 10 employees selling our products.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”).
18
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised
goods. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2018, with no significant impact to its financial position
or results of operations, using the modified retrospective method. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
1)
Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each
party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially
all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales
order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
2)
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or that will be transferred to the customer. For the
Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
3)
Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring
goods, and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based
rebates or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method.
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since
our contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated to
that single performance obligation.
5)
Recognize
Revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes, and the customer accepts
the goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based
rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are
treated as fulfillment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
The
Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a
single product, frozen beverages.
Impairments
We
periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of long-lived assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying
value of those assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the
impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
Share-based
Compensation
We
account for share-based employee compensation plans under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions in accordance
with applicable accounting standards, which require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options and
restricted stock units (RSUs), to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the resulting expense generally
recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the
award.
19
Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and
Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of any derivative is marked-to-market each balance
sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded
in the statement of operations as gain/loss from derivative liability. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument,
the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. We analyzed
the derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether
an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception
which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative
instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s
own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must
be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed
to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed
by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or
sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Results
of Operations
Results
of Operation for Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Revenue
and cost of revenue
Revenue
decreased $857,566 (55%) from $1,565,176 in 2019 to $707,610 in 2020. The overall revenue for the third quarter 2020 was lower
due to decreased sales of both single serve and bulk product which was directly impacted by COVID-19. Our product continues to
be distributed through all 72 of Sysco’s U.S. mainland distribution centers, as well as through new customers beyond the
Sysco distribution network.
Cost
of revenue for 2020 was $423,942 as compared to $684,064 in 2019. Our gross profit was $278,553 (39.4%) and $851,207 (54.4%) for
2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross margins were lower in the third quarter due to product mix which included the launch of the
new 8oz bottle and 5:1 juice concentrate. We anticipate that our gross profit percentage for the remainder of 2020 will be approximately
40% due to the composition of revenue from product sales at lower gross margins.
Operating
expenses
Our
operations were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.
20
Our
general and administrative expenses decreased $685,050 (41%) from $1,661,258 in 2019 to $976,208 in 2020, with the improvement
primarily driven by personnel and marketing and selling expenses resulting from lower headcount and the renegotiation of certain
sales commission agreements. The following is a breakdown of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Personnel
cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be
our largest cost. Personnel cost decreased $269,545 (42%) from $639,555 to $370,010. Personnel costs in 2019 included $190,746
of expense related to the settlement of Deferred Executive Compensation. We had 24 full time employees at the end of the third
quarter of 2019, and we currently have 17 full time employees.
Stock
based compensation is used as an incentive to attract new employees and to compensate existing employees. Stock based compensation
includes stock issued and options granted to employees and non-employees. Stock based compensation for the current quarter was
$45,692, a decrease of $21,443, or 32%, from the year ago quarter expense of $67,135. The Company issues additional stock options
to its employees from time to time under its Equity Compensation Plan.
Legal
and professional fees decreased $31,961 (52%) from $61,641 in 2019 to $29,680 in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to renegotiated
fees for legal services. We anticipate legal fees related to our business and financing activities to decrease as we have renegotiated
arrangements with existing service providers.
Travel
expenses decreased $54,636 (76%) from $71,967 in 2019 to $17,331 in 2020. The decrease is primarily due to reduction in travel
costs associated with terminated employees, tighter controls over sales territories, and reduced travel due to COVID-19. We anticipate
that travel expenses for the remainder of this year will be comparable to the current quarter.
Rent
expense increased 1%, from $19,609 in the three months ended September 30, 2019, to $19,813 in the three months ended September
30, 2020. Rent expense is primarily for our location in Los Angeles, California. Rent expense for the Los Angeles office is approximately
$6,500 per month. We lease office space at 3600 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California pursuant to a new lease that commenced
on April 1, 2019 and expires June 30, 2023.
Marketing
and selling expenses decreased $6,208 (10%) from $61,402 in 2019 to $55,194 in 2020. Lower marketing and selling expenses were
primarily due to changes that were made to certain sales commission agreements.
Consulting
fees were $9,005 in 2020, as compared with $53,207 in 2019. The decrease of $44,202 was related primarily to sales consulting
in 2019 which did not recur. Our consulting fees vary based on needs. We engaged consultants in the areas of finance during the
quarter due to reduced headcount. The need for future consulting services will be variable.
Director
fees decreased $1,275 from $51,275 in 2019 to $50,000 in 2020. Annual director fees are anticipated at $50,000 per non-employee
director.
Research
and development expenses increased $20,615 (16%) from $127,123 in 2019 to $147,738 in 2020. These expenses relate to the services
performed by our Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, and consultants supporting that employee. The increase in
research and development expense was primarily driven by a write down related to the launch of our 8oz bottle, offset by a reduction
in labor hours for our development staff.
Shipping
and storage expense decreased $147,851 (54%) from $274,588 in 2019 to $126,737 in 2020. We anticipate that shipping and storage
expense as a percentage of sales will reduce slightly during the balance of the year, as the Company is able to take advantage
of more efficient distribution arrangements.
21
Other
expenses decreased $128,748 from $233,756 in 2019 to $105,008 in 2020 which due to lower expenses related to insurance, moving
expense and information technology. Other expenses consist of ordinary operating expenses such as investor relations, office,
telephone, insurance, and stock related costs. We anticipate these expenses to be comparable for the balance of the year.
We
had operating losses of $836,384 and $949,789 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
decrease of $113,405 or 12%, was primarily due to lower revenues, offset by lower General and Administrative expenses.
The
change in fair value of the derivative liability was a gain of $19,884 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared
to a gain of $704,798 for the three months ended of September 30, 2019. The decrease in the gain was due to the exercise of Convertible
Notes and the change in the Company’s stock price.
Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $61,757, as compared with $283,709 for the three months ended September
30, 2019. Interest relates to the unconverted portion of convertible debt in the amount of $1,071,000 that was issued on March
14, 2018, and in the unconverted portion of convertible debt in the amount of $235,200 that was issued on November 30, 2018. The
interest rate of 10% remains unchanged on the convertible notes issued on November 30, 2018, however the interest rate on the
convertible notes issued on March 14, 2018 has been modified to 15%. Interest expense includes amortization of $15,336 of the
value of warrants issued with the convertible debt.
We
had net losses of $878,257 and $528,700 in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Results
of Operation for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Revenue
and cost of revenue
Revenue
decreased $1,834,609 (49%) from $3,782,375 in 2019 to $1,947,766 in 2020. The decrease in revenue is primarily driven by the impact
of COVID-19 on both bulk product served in the school channels and single serve product offered in restaurants, offset by revenues
of our new 8oz Twist & Go product.
Cost
of revenue for 2019 was $1,584,033 as compared to $1,142,391 in 2020. Our gross profit was $790,658 (41%) and $2,136,957 (57%)
for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our gross profit was lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower margins
on our new 8oz bottle and 5:1 juice concentrate, as well as some product write-downs. We anticipate that our gross profit percentage
for the remainder of 2020 will be approximately 40% due to the composition of revenue from product sales at lower gross margins.
Operating
expenses
Our
operations were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.
Our
general and administrative expenses decreased $2,165,849 (40%) from $5,450,522 in the first nine months of 2019 to $3,284,673
for the first nine months of 2020, with the improvement primarily driven by lower personnel expenses resulting from the realignment
of our sales force. The following is a breakdown of our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September

30, 2020 was $240,216, a decrease of $98,467, or 29%, from the year ago period expense of $338,683. The decrease is primarily
due to the reductions in our work force and the timing of equity grants. The Company issues additional stock options to its employees
from time to time under its Equity Compensation Plan.

Legal
and professional fees increased $17,788 (7%) from $255,389 in 2019 to $273,177 in 2020. The increase was primarily due to legal
services related to co-packing agreements. We anticipate legal fees related to our business and financing activities to increase
as our business continues to grow.
Travel
expenses were $282,834 in 2019 and decreased to $69,167 in 2020. Travel expenses are lower than 2019 due to our increased focus
on controlling costs, tighter management of sales territories, and reduced travel due to COVID-19.
Rent
expense in 2020 is related to our headquarters, which is located in Los Angeles, California. During the first quarter of 2019,
we occupied an office in Beverly Hills, California. Effective April 1, 2019, we relocated our headquarters office to our current
location, at 3600 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California pursuant to a new four-year lease, with monthly rental cost of $6,173.
Rent expense for the Beverly Hills office was approximately $14,488 per month.
Marketing
and selling expenses decreased $174,931 (48%) from $366,937 in 2019 to $192,006 in 2020. Lower marketing and selling expenses
were due to changes that were made to certain sales commission agreements.
Consulting
fees were $69,193 in 2020, as compared with $86,706 in 2019. Our consulting fees vary based on needs. We engaged consultants in
the areas of sales and operations during the period. The need for future consulting services will be variable.
Director
fees decreased $31,612 from $181,612 in 2019 to $150,000 in 2020 due to the resignation of one director in 2019. Annual director
fees are $50,000 per non-employee director.
Research
and development expenses decreased $73,216 (18%) from $400,108 in 2019 to $326,892 in 2020. These expenses relate to the services
performed by our Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, consultants supporting that employee, a write down of 8 oz
bottle product, and certain commissioning expenses at our contract manufacturing locations
Shipping
and storage expense decreased $260,592 (42%) from $616,862 in 2019 to $356,270 in 2020. We anticipate that shipping and storage
expense as a percentage of sales will continue to improve during the balance of the year, as the Company is able to take advantage
of more efficient distribution arrangements.
Other
expenses decreased $234,149 from $564,554 in 2019 to $330,405 in 2020. Other expenses consist of ordinary operating expenses such
as investor relations, office, telephone, insurance, and stock related costs. We anticipate these expenses to be comparable for
the balance of the year.
We
had operating losses of $2,936,392 and $3,810,354 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The improvement of $873,962 or 23%, was primarily due to lower General & Administrative expenses, offset by lower revenues
and decreased margins.
Gain/loss
from derivative liability was a gain of $176,983 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to a gain of $1,097,532
for the nine months ended of September 30, 2019. The decrease in the gain was due to the change in the Company’s stock price,
modification of the terms of the Series CN1, and the conversion of convertible notes. Interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 was $420,634 and was $929,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Interest relates to remaining principal
outstanding for convertible debt in the amount of $1,071,000 that was issued on March 14, 2018, and in the amount of $235,200
that closed during December, 2018, which bear interest at 15% and 10%, respectively. Interest expense includes amortization of
$248,727 of the value of warrants issued with the convertible debt.
We
had net losses of $2,800,843 and $3,949,878 in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used cash for operations of $2,517,269 and purchased equipment for $40,873. We raised
cash of $3,797,800 from the issuance of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used $3,191,642 of cash
for operations and purchased equipment for $418,456. We raised cash of $2,400,000 from the issuance of common stock and we raised
cash from the exercise of warrants in the amount of $1,500,309.
We
have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow. As our operations grow, we expect to experience significant increases
in our working capital requirements. Management has evaluated these conditions and concluded substantial doubt was mitigated due
to measures taken by the Company to manage its cash burn rate, launch new products to offset the impact of COVID-19 on existing
products, reduce General & Administrative expenses and Cost of Goods Sold. However, the Company cannot predict, with certainty,
the outcome of its actions to preserve liquidity, including the accuracy of its financial forecast, the ability to sustain the
current trend of cost cutting, the ability to raise additional capital or to extend the maturity date of the debt that is maturing
in November 2021 and March 2022.
As
of September 30, 2020, we had $2,743,523 of cash and restricted cash on the balance sheet. We have continued to significantly
reduce core operating expenses, reducing total General and Administrative Expense in the first nine months of 2020 by $2,165,849,
or 40%, as compared with the first nine months of 2019. The Company’s forecast for the next twelve months reflects a continuation
of the improvement in cash flow from operations as the Company continues to reduce operating expenses and increase contracts with
school locations, and military bases, and anticipates the roll-out of a new product launch with the Twist & Go 8oz bottles.
The Company has implemented cost reduction measures which will reduce cash expenses over the next twelve months, which includes
reduced headcount. The savings in General and Administrative is estimated to yield $400,000 per year in cash savings.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to stockholders.
