−Removed: Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
−Removed: and other intangible assets include the cost of the acquired business in excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets recorded
−Removed: in connection with an acquisition.
−Removed: Other intangible assets include customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and trademarks.
−Removed: For goodwill, our policy is to assess for impairment at year-end.
−Removed: For other intangible assets with definite lives, we assess for
−Removed: impairment only if events occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: we assess the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles by determining whether the fair values exceed the carrying
−Removed: values of these assets.
−Removed: Our testing may be performed utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative assessment;
−Removed: however, if a
−Removed: qualitative assessment is performed and we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a
−Removed: likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed.
−Removed: using a quantitative test, we arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis.
−Removed: Our assessment for
−Removed: impairment of goodwill and definitive-lived intangible assets compared the fair value of the reporting unit to the corresponding
−Removed: carrying value.
−Removed: If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal
−Removed: to the excess.
−Removed: Based on our year-end 2020 annual impairment analysis for goodwill and intangibles assets, we concluded that it
−Removed: is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets exceeded its carrying value.
−Removed: No impairment was recorded
−Removed: for goodwill and intangible assets.
−Removed: fair value conclusions as of December 31, 2020 are highly sensitive to changes in the assumptions used in the income approach,
−Removed: which include forecasted revenues, perpetual growth rates, among others, all of which require significant judgments by management.
−Removed: value of the reporting unit is therefore determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: The Company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic
−Removed: statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the forecasted cash flow model.
−Removed: These key assumptions are inherently
−Removed: uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment and are subject to change based on future changes, industry and
−Removed: global economic and geo-political conditions, and the timing and success of the implementation of current strategic initiatives.
−Removed: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on estimated future cash flows is uncertain and will largely depend on the outcome of future
−Removed: events, which could result in goodwill impairments going forward.
−Removed: Interest Entity
−Removed: Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation ,
−Removed: when a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of an entity that is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined
−Removed: in ASC 810, the VIE must be consolidated into the financial statements of the reporting entity.
−Removed: The determination of which owner
−Removed: is the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the rights, obligations,
−Removed: and economic interests of each interest holder in the VIE.
−Removed: Company evaluates its interests in VIE’s on an ongoing basis and consolidates any VIE in which it has a controlling financial
−Removed: interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
−Removed: A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics:
−Removed: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance;
−Removed: and (ii) the obligation
−Removed: to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could
−Removed: be significant to the VIE.
−Removed: April 1, 2014, the Company’s stockholder was transferred the controlling interest of Strike the Gold Foods, Ltd.
−Removed: (“Strike”),
−Removed: a related party entity which holds the Company’s inventory on consignment in United Kingdom (see Note 3).
−Removed: The Company evaluated
−Removed: its interest in Strike and determined that Strike is a VIE due to the Company’s implicit interest in Strike and the fact
−Removed: that Strike and the Company were under common control after the transfer of the controlling interest.
−Removed: Moreover, the Company determined
−Removed: that it is the primary beneficiary of Strike due to the fact that the Company had both the power to direct the activities that
−Removed: most significantly impact Strike and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from Strike.
−Removed: the Company consolidated Strike in its financial statements as of April 1, 2014, the effective date of the controlling interest
−Removed: the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined that Strike was no longer a VIE because there was a verbal agreement with Strike
−Removed: that terminated the original agreement to hold the inventory on consignment and Strike has not engaged in transactions with the
−Removed: Company or its subsidiaries in 2020.
−Removed: Company also evaluated its interest in three related party entities that are under common control with the Company, Bacolod, Bicol
−Removed: Blue Star Export Co.
−Removed: (“Bicol”) and John Keeler Real Estate Holding (“JK Real Estate”), in light of ASC
−Removed: The Company purchased inventory from Bacolod, an exporter of pasteurized crab meat out of the Philippines.
−Removed: The Company purchased
−Removed: inventory, via Bacolod, from Bicol.
−Removed: The Company leased its office and warehouse facility from JK Real Estate, a landlord that
−Removed: is a related party through common family beneficial ownership until December 31, 2020.
−Removed: Company determined that Bacolod and Bicol are not VIE’s as they do not meet the criteria to be considered a VIE per ASC
−Removed: The Company does not directly or indirectly absorb any variability of Bacolod or Bicol.
−Removed: The relationship between the Company
−Removed: and Bacolod and Bicol is strictly a supplier/customer relationship.
−Removed: Moreover, Bacolod and Bicol have other customers besides the
−Removed: Company which will allow them to sustain their operations from selling their inventory to their other customers.
−Removed: As the Company
−Removed: concluded that Bacolod and Bicol are not VIE’s and the Company is not deemed their primary beneficiary, Bacolod or Bicol
−Removed: is not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.
−Removed: Company no longer leases its office and warehouse facility from JK Real Estate and no longer guarantees the mortgage on the facility.
−Removed: On December 31, 2020, this facility was sold to an unrelated third-party purchaser and the lease was terminated.
−Removed: Substantially
−Removed: all of the Company’s inventory consists of packaged crab meat located at the Company’s warehouse facility as well
−Removed: as public cold storage facilities and merchandise in transit from suppliers.
−Removed: The cost of inventory is primarily determined using
−Removed: the specific identification method.
−Removed: Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined
−Removed: using the first-in, first-out method.
−Removed: is purchased cost and freight shipping point and becomes the Company’s asset and liability upon leaving the suppliers’
−Removed: The Company had in-transit inventory of approximately $522,000 and $1,958,000 as of December 31, 2020 and December
−Removed: 31, 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and records an allowance to reduce the carrying value of inventory
−Removed: to the lower of cost or market based on its assessment of market conditions, inventory turnover and current stock levels.
−Removed: write-downs are charged to cost of goods sold.
−Removed: The Company recorded an inventory allowance of approximately $71,400 for the year
−Removed: ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $40,784 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: to Suppliers and Related Party
−Removed: the normal course of business, the Company may advance payments to its suppliers, including Bacolod, a related party.
−Removed: These advances
−Removed: are in the form of prepayments for products that will ship within a short window of time.
−Removed: In the event that it becomes necessary
−Removed: for the Company to return products or adjust for quality issues, the Company is issued a credit by the vendor in the normal course
−Removed: of business and these credits are also reflected against future shipments.
−Removed: of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the balance due from Bacolod for future shipments was approximately $1,300,000
−Removed: and $1,286,000, respectively.
−Removed: No new purchases have been made from Bacolod since November 2020.
−Removed: Cost of revenue related to
−Removed: inventories purchased from Bacolod represented approximately $1,280,000 and $9,531,000 of total cost of revenue for the twelve
−Removed: months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: with the January 1, 2018 adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),”
−Removed: and the associated
−Removed: ASUs (collectively, “Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods
−Removed: or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: The Company’s source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines
−Removed: and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika,
−Removed: Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh.
−Removed: We sell primarily to food service distributors.
−Removed: our products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.
−Removed: determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company
−Removed: performs the following five steps:
−Removed: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations
−Removed: sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the
−Removed: contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price
−Removed: which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts
−Removed: and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is
−Removed: the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or
−Removed: as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by
−Removed: shipment or delivery of the products.
−Removed: Company elected an accounting policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities.
−Removed: Consideration payable
−Removed: to a customer is recorded as a reduction of the arrangement’s transaction price, thereby reducing the amount of revenue
−Removed: recognized, unless the payment is for distinct goods or services received from the customer.
−Removed: January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842 and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective
−Removed: We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease standard as an adjustment to the opening balance
−Removed: of retained earnings.
−Removed: The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the lease accounting
−Removed: standard in effect for those periods.
−Removed: new lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.
−Removed: the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and
−Removed: initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.
−Removed: We did not reassess whether any contracts
−Removed: entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.
−Removed: categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance.
−Removed: Finance leases are generally
−Removed: those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life.
−Removed: Assets acquired
−Removed: under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net.
−Removed: All other leases are categorized as operating leases.
−Removed: not have any finance leases as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment
−Removed: and six to seven years for property.
−Removed: We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our
−Removed: agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
−Removed: liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings
−Removed: available to us.
−Removed: Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord
−Removed: incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases.
−Removed: Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived
−Removed: assets used in operations.
−Removed: Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful
−Removed: life or the lease term.
−Removed: we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased
−Removed: asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification
−Removed: and measurement of the lease.
−Removed: Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating
−Removed: expenses over the term of the lease.
