Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 11, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash and its wholly owned subsidiaries Splash Beverage Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), Splash International Holdings LLC (“International”), Splash Mex SA de CV (“Splash Mex”), and Copa di Vino Wine Group, Inc. (“Copa di Vino”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Our accounting and reporting policies confirm to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Our cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash on deposit with financial institutions had not exceeded federally insured limits of $250,000.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated recoverable amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. The Company establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration are based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. The Company manages inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $621,178 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Property and Equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-39 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.
Depreciation expense totaled $37,017 and $37,017 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, depreciation expense totaled $74,034 and $74,229, respectively. Property and equipment as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:
Excise taxes
The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities and market rates of interest.
Embedded Debt Costs in Convertible Debt Instruments
In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024 and has removed the effects of any embedded conversion features from certain of our convertible instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue when the Company’s performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur for the Splash Beverage and E-commerce businesses once control of the Company’s products are transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, and revenue is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives offered to the Company’s customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Distribution expenses to transport our products, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The cost of transportation from production site to other 3rd party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative cost.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other General and Administrative expenses includes Amazon selling fees, cost associated with the outbound shipping and handling of finished goods, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, Investor Relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, ”Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the award’s vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based awards.
We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, ”Income Taxes”. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) less preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, warrants to purchase shares of common stock and shares issuable upon the conversion of notes payable.
Advertising
The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. The Company recorded advertising expense of $18,295 and $109,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded advertising expense of $40,721 and $187,251 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangibles Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results. The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets were impaired to $0 at December 31, 2024.
At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon the facts and circumstances related to the particular intangible asset. Inherent in such estimates are judgments and estimates of future revenue, profitability, cash flows and appropriate discount rates for any present value calculations. The Company preliminarily estimates the value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and then finalizes the estimated fair values during the purchase allocation period, which does not extend beyond 12 months from the date of acquisition.
On June 25, 2025, the Company acquired water concession rights and related permits in Garabito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, as part of the Utopia asset acquisition. The concession grants the legal right to extract up to 0.81 liters per second from the approved aquifer, with renewals available every ten years, contingent on approval by regulatory agencies in Costa Rica. Management expects the concession to be renewed for at least 100 years. The water rights are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350 and are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the water rights was $20.0 million, and no impairment was recorded.
Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses — foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gains or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company incurred foreign currency translation net gain of $1,168 and net gain of $182 for the three months ending June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively and net loss of $45,902 and net loss of $7,255 for the six months ending June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company historically has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operation since inception and had net-loss of approximately $8.5 million for three-month period ended June 30, 2025 and accumulated deficit of approximately $168.0 million through June 30, 2025. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $1.4 million. Additionally, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, and it has a working capital deficit. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.
The Company received approximately $1.1 million from the issuance of debt and $0.7 million from sale of preferred stocks for the six months ending June 30, 2025.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters include actions to sustain the Company’s operations, such as seeking additional funding to meet its obligations and implement its business plan. The Company has issued preferred stock as part of its strategy to regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards and reduce debt. These preferred shares, specifically Series B 12% convertible preferred stock, were issued in exchange for promissory notes. The preferred stock offers a 12% cumulative dividend and potential conversion to common stock, subject to shareholder approval and an increase in authorized common stock. In June 2025, the Company exchanged approximately $12.62 million outstanding promissory notes and accrued interest for 126,710 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. By converting debt into equity, the Company enhances its balance sheet, reduces interest expense, and improves its shareholder equity position in furtherance of its goal of complying with exchange requirements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses could be materially affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard.
Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $2.2 million as a reduction to the additional paid in capital and added approximately $1.3 million to the opening retained earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance under ASU 2020-06.
All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
