−Removed: We are required to spend 2% of our net sales on marketing

−Removed: and other retail advertising.
−Removed: TapouT has certain relationships with certain celebrity and athletic talent and, if requested, it
−Removed: agrees to use its reasonable efforts to request the celebrities and/or athletes to be present at autograph signings, tradeshows
−Removed: and other similar events.
−Removed: Manufacturing and Distribution
−Removed: SBG is responsible
−Removed: for the manufacturing of the TapouT Performance Beverage and SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila.
−Removed: Although we are responsible
−Removed: for manufacturing TapouT and SALT, we do not directly manufacture these products, but instead we outsource such manufacturing
−Removed: to third party bottlers and contract packers.
−Removed: We purchase concentrates,
−Removed: flavors, dietary ingredients, cans, bottles, caps, labels, and other ingredients for our beverage products from our suppliers,
−Removed: which are delivered to our various third-party bottlers and co-packers.
−Removed: In some cases, certain common supplies may be purchased
−Removed: by our various third-party bottlers and co-packers.
−Removed: Depending on the product, the third-party bottlers or packers add filtered
−Removed: water and/or other ingredients (including dietary ingredients) for the manufacture and packaging of the finished products into
−Removed: our approved containers in accordance with our formulas.
−Removed: The Copa di Vino and
−Removed: Pulpoloco brands are manufactured at our manufacturing facility in The Dalles, Oregon.
−Removed: Co-Packing Arrangements
−Removed: Our TapouT products
−Removed: are manufactured by various third-party bottlers and co-packers situated throughout the United States under separate arrangements
−Removed: with each party.
−Removed: Our co-packaging arrangements are generally on a month-to-month basis or are terminable upon request and do not
−Removed: typically obligate us to produce any minimum quantities of products within specified periods.
−Removed: In some instances,
−Removed: subject to agreement, certain equipment may be purchased by us and installed at the facilities of our co-packers to enable them
−Removed: to produce certain of our products.
−Removed: In general, such equipment remains our property and is returned to us upon termination of
−Removed: the packing arrangements with such co-packers, unless we are reimbursed by the co-packer via a per-case credit over a predetermined
−Removed: number of cases that are produced at the facilities concerned.
−Removed: We are generally responsible
−Removed: for arranging for the purchase and delivery to our third-party bottlers and co-packers the containers in which our beverage products
−Removed: are packaged.
−Removed: We pack some of our
−Removed: products in multiple locations to enable us to produce finished goods closer to the markets where they are sold, with the objective
−Removed: of reducing freight costs as well as transportation-related product damages.
−Removed: As distribution volumes increase, we will continue
−Removed: to source additional packing arrangements closer to such markets to further reduce logistics costs.
−Removed: Our ability to estimate demand
−Removed: for our products is imprecise, particularly with new products, and may be less precise during periods of rapid growth, particularly
−Removed: in new markets.
−Removed: If we materially underestimate demand for our products and/or are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw
−Removed: materials including, but not limited to aluminum cans, PET plastic bottles, labels, flavors, juice concentrates, dietary ingredients,
−Removed: and other ingredients, and/or procure adequate packing arrangements and/or obtain adequate or timely shipment of our products,
−Removed: we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.
−Removed: Our production arrangements
−Removed: are generally of short duration or are terminable upon our request.
−Removed: For some of our products, there may be limited co-packing
−Removed: facilities in our domestic market with adequate capacity and/or suitable equipment to package our products.
−Removed: We believe a short
−Removed: disruption or delay in production would not significantly affect our revenues;
−Removed: however, as alternative co-packing facilities in
−Removed: our domestic market with adequate long-term capacity may not be available for such products, either at commercially reasonable
−Removed: rates and/or within a reasonably short time period, if at all, a lengthy disruption or delay in production of any of such products
−Removed: could significantly affect our revenues.
−Removed: We continue to actively
−Removed: seek alternative and/or additional advantageously located co-packing facilities with adequate capacity and capability for the
−Removed: production of our various products to minimize transportation costs and transportation-related damages as well as to create redundancies
−Removed: to mitigate the risk of a disruption in production and/or importation.
−Removed: In the United States
−Removed: we operate within what is referred to as the “Three Tier Distribution System”
−Removed: where manufacturers do not typically
−Removed: sell directly to retailers, but instead contract for local and regional distribution with independent distributors.
−Removed: These distributors
−Removed: typically have geographic rights to distribute major beverage brands such as Budweiser, Pepsi, and Red Bull and call on every
−Removed: store in a given area such as major cities or regions.
−Removed: However, due to increasing costs over the last 20 years for these distributors
−Removed: to call on every store (sometimes referred to in the industry as “DSD”
−Removed: or direct store delivery), there has been a
−Removed: great deal of consolidation which has limited the options for new brands to gain distribution and retail shelf presence.
−Removed: Our management
−Removed: team believes that their history of success and experience working within this channel will allow SBG to be successful in building
−Removed: a strong network of these distributors.
−Removed: In addition to working
−Removed: with these independent distributors, we also have distribution arrangements with national retail accounts to distribute some of
−Removed: our products directly through their warehouse operations.
−Removed: “Qplash”
−Removed: is the consumer-packaged goods retail division of Splash Beverage Group and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce
−Removed: The division sells beverages & groceries online through qplash.com, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com
−Removed: and Walmart.com.
−Removed: Inside of the division, there are two primary customer groups, B-to-B retail businesses, which in turn offer
−Removed: the products to their customers, and B-to-C, selling direct to end users.
−Removed: Qplash sells to retailers
−Removed: through www.qplash.com.
−Removed: These retailers, generally in the high-end apparel space, are working to enhance their customers in store
−Removed: shopping experience.
−Removed: They offer high end beverages to for customers to enjoy while shopping or to take on the go.
−Removed: allows businesses to control inventory, order with payment terms, and the convenience of delivery directly to each store.
−Removed: To the end user, we
−Removed: ship orders from our warehouses direct to their home or office.
−Removed: We offer competitive pricing, an easy & convenient transactional
−Removed: process, and a wide selection of products.
−Removed: Consumers can order from qplash.com, from our storefront on Amazon, or other third-party
−Removed: Amazon is a valuable revenue source as it allows us to access their loyal customer base and a high conversion rate
−Removed: as they are comfortable navigating and checking out.
−Removed: Currently we offer
−Removed: over 350 listings and ship from Ontario, California.
−Removed: Later this year, we plan to activate additional warehouse partnerships, thus
−Removed: reducing shipping costs and the transit times while gaining access to several thousand additional items.
−Removed: Our objective is to offer
−Removed: 1,500 items by the spring of 2021.
−Removed: Additionally, this
−Removed: vertically integrated platform affords SBG a unique opportunity to incubate, accelerate and ultimately migrate brands to traditional
−Removed: distribution.

+Added: Agreement with ABG TapouT (the “License Agreement”) to produce, market, sell and distribute TapouT sports beverages globally.

+Added: to gain distribution and retail shelf presence.
