INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc. (“Artisan”), Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”),  Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc., Gourmeting Inc., The Haley Group, Inc.,  (“Haley”), and 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.) (“Gourmet” and collectively with IVFH and the other subsidiaries, the “Company, or “IVFH”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  FNM currently holds the Company’s intellectual property rights related to its private label brand.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
2. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business Activity
 
FII, Artisan and GFG are in the business of providing premium foodservice establishments, including white tablecloth restaurants, with the freshest origin-specific perishables and specialty food products direct from its warehouses and from a network of vendors, to the end users (restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, and catering houses) across the United States within 24 - 72 hours. For The Gourmet Inc., through its website www.forthegourmet.com, and through additional sales channels, provides the highest quality gourmet food products to the direct to consumer market 
 
We currently sell the majority of our products (72% and 76% of total sales in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively) through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods (“USF”), a $20 Billion broad line distributor.  On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Artisan Acquisition”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”). Artisan was previously a supplier to the Company. Artisan is a supplier of over 1,500 niche gourmet products to over 500 customers in the Greater Chicago area.  On November 2, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary The Haley Group, Inc. (“Haley”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Haley Acquisition”) with The Haley Group, LLC whereby the Company acquired all existing contracts between The Haley Group, LLC and its customers.
   
 Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include, for example, certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Reclassifications and Corrections

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation. In addition, the Company identified an error and revised its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the elimination of certain intercompany revenues. Management concluded that the errors had no material impact on any of the Company’s previously issued financial statements, are immaterial to the Company’s results for the first quarter of 2013 and full year 2013 results, and had no material effect on the trend of the Company’s financial results. As a result of the immaterial errors discussed above, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments: a reduction in cost of goods sold and an offsetting reduction in revenue of $365,647, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.   The effect of the reclassifications and immaterial errors had no effect on reported net income.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
 
Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. 

Anti-dilutive shares at March 31, 2014:

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company excluded from the calculation of fully-diluted earnings per share options to purchase 310,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The Company also excluded 6,430,172 shares issuable upon the conversion of notes payable because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Anti-dilutive shares at March 31, 2013:

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company excluded from the calculation of fully-diluted earnings per share warrants to purchase 1,870,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.55 and $0.60 per share, and options to purchase 2,070,000 shares of common stock issuable at exercise prices of $0.35 to $0.40 per share. The Company also excluded 968,465 shares issuable upon the conversion of a note payable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

Diluted earnings per share was computed as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2014:

As detailed in ASC 350, the Company tests for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.  As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill. The analysis completed in 2013 and 2012 determined that there was no impairment to goodwill assets.

The Company calculates the fair value of any beneficial conversion features embedded in its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Company also calculates the fair value of any detachable warrants offered with its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The instruments are considered discounts to the notes, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features do not exceed the face value of the notes. These discounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes.  

Effective August 22, 2013, the Company entered into agreements (the “2013 Notes Payable Extension Agreement”) with certain convertible notes holders regarding twenty-five convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $912,982 in principal and $744,246 in accrued interest.  Pursuant to the 2013 Notes Payable Extension Agreement, the maturity date of each note and accrued interest was extended to May 15, 2014; the interest rate was changed to 5%; and the expiration of each warrant associated with each of the notes was extended to February 1, 2016 or February 1, 2017.  Pursuant to debt extinguishment accounting, the Company charged to interest expense the unamortized amount of the discount on the related convertible notes at August 22, 2013 in the amount of $491,606.  Prior to August 22, 2013, the Company had amortized $637,663 of the discount.  At August 22, 2013, the Company recorded a new discount on the convertible notes which was attributable to the conversion feature and related warrants in the aggregate amount of $826,238, which was charged to additional paid-in capital.  The discount will be amortized over the term of the related notes.

12. INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes. 
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million, which will expire through 2031.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.
 
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain  "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may",  "will", "expect", "believe",  "explore",  "consider",  "anticipate",  "intend", "could", "estimate",  "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
 
 Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
   
 Our ability to implement our business plan,
 
 Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,
 
 Our dependence on one major customer,
   
 Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,
 
 Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,
 
 Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current  or anticipated business,
 
 Changes in the demand for our services,
 
 The degree and nature of our competition,
 
 The lack of diversification of our business plan,
 
 The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
 
 Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and weather conditions.
 
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate.  Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of the financial statements included in this report requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future. 

Stock options:
 
The Company accounts for options in accordance FASB ASC 718-40.  Options are valued upon issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model.   Option expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the related option award.

Background
 
We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. In February 2003 we changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd.
 
In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (“IVFH”), a Florida shell corporation. As a result of the merger we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In February 2004 we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”) and through FII and our other subsidiaries we are in the business of national food distribution and sales using third-party shippers. 
 
On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska.  The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones are met by April 30, 2014.  The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000.  Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a vendor and had sold products to the Company.

Transactions With a Major Customer
 
Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth immediately below and above in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and also in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.

Relationship with U.S. Foods

In February 2010, one of our subsidiaries, Food Innovations, signed a new contract with U.S. Foods (“USF”).  This  contract with USF expired on December 31, 2012.  However, the contract provides that it automatically renews for an additional 12-month term unless either party notifies the other in writing 30 days prior to the end date of its intent not to renew. Inasmuch as neither party gave the requisite notice, the agreement was automatically extended through December 31, 2013 and again through December 31, 2014.  We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occurs through the USF sales force, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products. Other than our business arrangements with USF, we are not affiliated with either USF or its subsidiary, Next Day Gourmet, L.P. (“Next Day Gourmet”).  During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, sales to USF accounted for 76.5%  and 72.9% of total sales, respectively.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Revenue

Revenue increased by $311,792, or approximately 5.9%, to $5,553,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $5,241,674 in the prior year.  The increase was attributable to year-over-year organic sales growth.
 
We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.

Any changes in the food distribution operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
 
Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.
  
Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3,729,855, an increase of $61,208 or approximately 1.7% compared to cost of goods sold of $3,668,647 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $2,793,596; and shipping and packaging expenses in the amount of $936,259.  While the  cost of goods sold increased during the quarter as compared to last year, the increase was less than the increase in revenue for the quarter, reflecting  the implementation of improved inventory and cost controls as well as a contribution of higher margin revenues related to the Haley Group.  Total gross margin was approximately 32.8% of sales in 2014, compared to approximately 30.0% of sales in 2013.
  
In 2014, we continued to price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share.  We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold will either remain stable or likely improve slightly.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $167,497 or approximately 14% to $1,368,111 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1,200,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2014: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $867,797;  facilities and office expense in the amount of $108,830; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $104,700; computer support expenses in the amount of $51,816; amortization and depreciation in the amount of $45,970; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $39,633; insurance expense in the amount of $36,390; banking and credit card fees expenses in the amount of $19,117; vehicle expense in the amount of $10,565 and bad debt expense in the amount of $9,689.  The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional personnel expenses and higher professional expenses and other expenses associated with the expansion of certain areas of the Company’s businesses and business lines.  We expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses to remain steady for the remainder of 2014.

Other Income

Other income increased by $20,000 or approximately 100% to $20,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase in other income was due to the adjustment of the contingent liability due to The Haley Group, LLC pursuant to the terms of the Haley acquisition.  There were no comparable transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Interest expense

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $55,771  or approximately 16.3%  to $286,794 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $342,565 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Approximately 9% or $26,759  of the interest expense was accrued or paid interest on the company’s notes payable; approximately 91% or $260,035  of the interest expense was  non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of the discounts on the Company’s notes payable.
  
Net Income
 
For the reasons above, the Company had a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $188,706, an increased income of $158,858, or approximately 532%, compared to net income of $29,848 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
    
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had current assets of $3,746,474 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $1,968,216, trade accounts receivable of $841,750,  inventory of $925,192, and other current assets of $11,316.   Also at March 31, 2014, the Company had current liabilities of $3,863,335,  consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,658,647 (of which $248,985 is payable to related parties); accrued interest of $684,148  (of which $50,888 is payable to related parties); current portion of notes payable, net of discounts, of $1,368,204; current portion of notes payable – related parties, net of discounts of $110,500; and contingent purchase price liability of $41,836.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company generated cash from operating activities in the amount of $191,981.  This consisted of the Company’s net income of $188,706, offset by non-cash charges for the amortization of discount on notes payable of $260,035; depreciation and amortization of $67,574; and non-cash compensation in the amount of $33,588.
 
The Company had cash used by investing activities of $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which consisted of $54,000 for the purchase of an investment. The Company had cash used by financing activities of $243,370 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which consisted of $183,370 principal payments on notes payable; and $60,000 for the purchase of treasury stock.
 
The Company had net working deficit of $116,861 as of March 31, 2014.  We have generated positive cash flow from operations during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, the Company’s auditors removed the going concern qualification to the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.   The Company intends to continue to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines.  Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 10 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of new items and enter new markets, acquire new businesses as well as identify new and other consumer and food service oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification. 
 
 
21

 
If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. 
 
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 is material to investors.
 
Inflation
 
In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.
 
RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.
 
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
