NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

Charlie’s Holdings, Inc., (formerly True Drinks Holdings, Inc.) a Nevada corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entity (collectively, the “Company”, “we”), currently formulates, markets, and distributes premium, nicotine-based vapor products. The Company’s products are produced domestically by contract manufacturers for sale by select distributors, specialty retailers and third-party online resellers throughout the United States, as well as in more than 80 countries worldwide. The Company’s primary international markets include the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. In June 2019, The Company launched distribution of certain premium vapor, ingestible and topical products containing hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”) and other compounds derived from hemp through Don Polly, a Nevada limited liability company that is owned by entities controlled by Brandon and Ryan Stump, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and a consolidated variable interest for which the Company is the primary beneficiary (“Don Polly”). Our hemp-based products are produced, marketed and sold through Don Polly, and the Company intends to develop and launch additional products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids in the future.

In addition to Don Polly, we also wholly-own Charlie’s Chalk Dust, LLC (“Charlie’s” or “CCD”), which also produces and sells our premium, nicotine-based vapor products.

The Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), trades under the symbol "CHUC" on the OTCQB Venture Market.

Reverse Stock Split

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of 1-for-100 (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was effective as of June 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). All share and per share amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) have been retroactively adjusted to account for the Reverse Split.

Going Concern Uncertainty Regarding the Legal and Regulatory Environment, Liquidity and Management’s Plan of Operation

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company operates in a rapidly changing legal and regulatory environment; new laws and regulations or changes to existing laws and regulations could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell its products, and/or result in additional costs. Additionally, the Company was required to apply for FDA approval to continue selling and marketing its products used for the vaporization of nicotine in the United States. Currently, a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are derived from products that are subject to approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). There was significant cost associated with the application process and there can be no assurance the FDA will approve previous and/or future applications. In addition, the outbreak of a COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) has had a negative impact on the Company’s supply chain and sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated a loss from operations of approximately $195,000, and a consolidated net income of approximately $70,000, but used cash in operations of approximately $1.3 million. The Company had stockholders’ equity of $3.3 million at June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s working capital requirements continued to evolve as current assets increased to $8.8 million from $8.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and currently liabilities increased to $6.0 million from $4.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Considering these facts, the issuance of one or several Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”) from the FDA would increase the potential for inventory obsolescence and uncollectable accounts receivables. These regulatory risks, as well as other industry-specific challenges remain factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

- 5-

 

Management's plans depend on its ability to increase revenues, raise additional capital, and continue its business development efforts, including the expenditure of approximately $4,400,000 to date, to complete the Pre-Market Tobacco Application (“PMTA”) process for the Company’s 2020 submissions to the FDA. On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make the Company’s synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022 deadline. The Company intends to allocate further resources and new personnel to support research and development initiatives in order to support existing, or subsequent PMTAs. The Company may require additional financing in the future to support subsequent PMTA filings, and/or in the event the FDA requests additional testing for one, or several, of the Company’s prior PMTA submissions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and, in the Company’s best interests. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an environment that is subject to rapid changes and developments in laws and regulations that could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to sell its products. Beginning in September 2019, certain states temporarily banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, and several states and municipalities are considering implementing similar restrictions. Federal, state, and local governmental bodies across the United States have indicated that flavored e-cigarette liquid, vaporization products and certain other consumption accessories may become subject to new laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. In addition, in June 2022, the FDA announced a plan to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels. The application of any new laws or regulations that may be adopted in the future, at a federal, state, or local level, directly or indirectly implicating nicotine, flavored e-cigarette liquid and other electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) products, could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell such products, result in additional compliance expenses, and/or require the Company to change its labeling and/or methods of distribution. Any ban of the sale of flavored e-cigarettes directly limits the markets in which the Company may sell its products. In the event the prevalence of such bans and/or changes in laws and regulations increase across the United States, or internationally, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. In addition, the Company is presently seeking to obtain marketing authorization for certain of its tobacco-derived nicotine e-liquid products. The Company’s applications were submitted in September 2020 on a timely basis, which if approved, will allow the Company to continue to sell its approved products in the United States. Beginning in August 2021, the FDA began issuing Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”) for ENDS products that lack evidence to demonstrate that permitting the marketing of such products would be appropriate for the protection of the public health. The Company has not received an MDO for any of its submissions; however there is no assurance that regulatory approval to sell our products will be granted or that we would be able to raise additional financing if required, which could have a significant impact on our sales. On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make the Company’s synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company was required to file a PMTA for its existing synthetic nicotine products marketed under the Pacha Syn brands by May 14, 2022 or be subject to FDA enforcement.  The Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022 deadline.

In addition, the impact from COVID-19 has affected our supply chain, and if disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak persist and are prolonged, it will continue to have an adverse impact on our business.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented in this Report not misleading.

Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2021 balances within the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

- 6-

 

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Standards 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13"), which supersedes current guidance requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets, including trade and other receivables, at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard will be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASU 2020-06 modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 was adopted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard was material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), the Company uses various inputs to measure the outstanding warrants on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy categorizing inputs into three levels used to measure and disclose fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. An explanation of each level in the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible by the Company on the measurement date.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the instrument requiring the development of assumptions by the Company.

- 7-

 

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

	Fair Value at December 31, 2021
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Derivative liability - Warrants		899		-		-		899
Total liabilities	$	899	$	-	$	-	$	899

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs (amounts in thousands).

	Derivative liability - Warrants
Balance at January 1, 2022	$	899
Change in fair value		(352	)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	547

A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in the Monte Carlo simulation measuring the Company’s derivative liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, is as follows:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Exercise price	$	0.4431		$	0.4431
Contractual term (years)		1.82			2.32
Volatility (annual)		100.0	%		90.0	%
Risk-free rate		2.9	%		0.8	%
Dividend yield (per share)		0	%		0	%

On April 26, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange”) with each of the former members (“Members”) of Charlie’s, and certain direct investors in the Company (“Direct Investors”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all outstanding membership interests of Charlie’s beneficially owned by the Members in exchange for the issuance by the Company of units. Immediately prior to, and in connection with, the Share Exchange, Charlie’s consummated a private offering of membership interests that resulted in net proceeds to Charlie’s of approximately $27.5 million (the “Charlie’s Financing”). In conjunction with the Share Exchange, the Company issued to holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), warrants to purchase an aggregate of 31,028,996 shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrants”) and to its placement agent, Katalyst Securities LLC, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,308,699 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). Both the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have a five-year term and a strike price of $0.44313 per share. Due to the exercise features of these warrants, they are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore not afforded equity treatment in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants as derivative instruments on its consolidated balance sheet. ASC 815 requires derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability and to be measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in the Company’s earnings for each reporting period.

NOTE 6 – DON POLLY, LLC

Don Polly is a Nevada limited liability company that is owned by entities controlled by Brandon and Ryan Stump, a former and current executive officer of the Company, respectively, and a consolidated variable interest for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Don Polly formulates, sells and distributes the Company’s hemp-derived product lines.

Don Polly is classified as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Under ASC 810-10-15, Variable Interest Entities, a VIE is an entity that: (1) has an insufficient amount of equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support by other parties; (2) the equity investors are unable to make significant decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights; or (3) the equity investors do not have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns of the entity. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary, that is, the enterprise has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with VIE to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with the entity and it re-evaluates that conclusion each reporting period. Effective April 25, 2019, we began consolidating the financial statements of Don Polly and it is still considered a VIE of the Company.

Don Polly operates under exclusive licensing and service contracts with the Company whereby the Company receives 100% of net income, or incurs 100% of the net loss of the VIE. There are no non-controlling interests recorded.

NOTE 9 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted weighted average common shares include common stock potentially issuable under the Company’s convertible preferred stock, warrants and vested and unvested stock options.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net income (loss) is adjusted for gain from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	For the three months ended						For the six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases office space under agreements classified as operating leases that expire on various dates through 2024. All of the Company’s lease liabilities result from the lease of its headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, which expires in 2024, its warehouse in Santa Ana, California, which expired in 2021, its office and warehouse in Denver, Colorado, which expired in May 2022, and its warehouse space in Huntington Beach, California, which expires in 2022. On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for the Company’s sales and marketing operations in Williamsville, New York (“Williamsville Lease”) with Henry Sicignano Jr., a relative of the Company’s President, Henry Sicignano III. The Williamsville Lease, which became effective on May 1, 2022, has a term of one year and a base rent of $1,650 per month. The Williamsville Lease is considered a modified gross lease and therefore the Company will also be responsible for additional monthly expenses including gas, electricity, and internet. The Williamsville Lease was evaluated and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

- 14-

 

Such leases do not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal options and escalation clauses; renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liabilities and right of use assets as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses. The Company does not act as a lessor or have any leases classified as financing leases.

The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company entered into a commercial lease for the Company’s corporate headquarters (the “Lease”) in Costa Mesa, California with Brandon Stump, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Stump, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Keith Stump, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Stumps purchased the property that is the subject of the Lease in July 2019. The Lease, which was effective as of September 1, 2019, on a month-to-month basis, was then formalized on November 1, 2019 to have a term of five years and a base rent rate of $22,940 per month, which rate is subject to annual adjustments based on the consumer price index, as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties to the Lease. The terms of the Lease were negotiated and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors, after reviewing a detailed analysis of comparable properties and rent rates compiled by an independent, third-party consultant. The total amount paid to related parties for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $134,452 and $139,020, respectively.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had operating lease liabilities of approximately $540,000 and right of use assets of approximately $540,000 which were included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and counterclaims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is comprised of domestic (US federal and state) income taxes at the applicable tax rates, adjusted for non-deductible expenses, stock compensation expenses, and other permanent differences. Our income tax provision may be significantly affected by changes to our estimates.  However, due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the net impact to our overall income tax expense is limited.

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage points (by value) in the ownership of its equity over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change tax attributes to offset its post change income may be limited. We may have experienced such ownership changes in the past, and we may experience ownership changes in the future or subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, many of which are outside our control. As of December 31, 2021, we had state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $6.1 million and federal NOLs of $4.2 million. The federal NOLs do not expire but the state NOLs expire if not utilized before 2041. If we undergo future ownership changes, many of which may be outside of our control, our ability to utilize our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be further limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise become unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. Additionally, our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be limited under state law. For these reasons, even if we attain profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s estimate for income taxes was not determined to be significant and therefore, is not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events for their potential impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures through the date the consolidated condensed financial statements were available to be issued and determined that no subsequent events occurred that were reasonably expected to impact the consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Charlie’s Holdings, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) and without audited financial statements and other information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including particularly matters set forth under Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the 2021 Annual Report. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

As used in this Report, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or similar references mean Charlie’s Holdings, Inc. (formerly True Drinks Holdings, Inc.), its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entity on a consolidated basis. References to “Charlie’s” and “CCD” refer to Charlie’s Chalk Dust, LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and “Don Polly” refers to Don Polly, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company that is owned by entities controlled by Brandon and Ryan Stump, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and a consolidated variable interest (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Overview

Our objective is to become a significant leader in the rapidly growing, global e-cigarette and e-liquid segments of the broader nicotine related products industry. Through Charlie’s, we formulate, market and distribute premium, nicotine-based vapor products. Charlie’s products are produced by the Company’s contract manufacturers for sale through select distributors, specialty retailers and third-party online resellers throughout the United States, and in more than 80 countries worldwide. Charlie’s primary international markets include the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. In June 2019, we launched distribution, through Don Polly, of certain premium vapor, tincture and topical wellness products containing hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”). In the future we intend to develop and launch additional products containing other compounds derived from hemp.

Operational Plan

Considering industry-specific hurdles, as well as the potential for future regulatory changes, management has targeted several opportunities for growth and has adopted the following operational plan.

First, we plan to increase the sales of our hemp-derived products, including topicals, ingestibles and disposable vapor devices. We believe there is a significant growth potential in the hemp-derived products space, and we have begun to shift our focus in this business to the market for products containing compounds that are synthetically derived from hemp, including Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (“Delta-8-THC”) and other synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol (“Synthetic THC”) compounds. As they offer consumers a range of benefits across varying potencies and product formats, these product categories have grown rapidly in recent years.

Second, we continue to see a significant opportunity for sales growth in international markets for our e-liquid and other vapor products. Presently, approximately 15% of our vapor product sales come from international markets. We are well positioned to increase sales in countries where we already have a presence and, leveraging our existing distribution platform, we intend to exploit new overseas markets. Specifically, the Company intends to launch proprietary new disposables, containing synthetically derived nicotine, that have been specially formulated for the European and Middle East markets. In partnership with our international distributors, Charlie’s will sell the Company’s products in target markets where more than 20% of the population consumes nicotine in some format.

Finally, we believe that tobacco and synthetically derived nicotine vapor products will continue to provide a significant growth opportunity domestically. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we launched our synthetic nicotine (not derived from tobacco) Pacha Syn Disposable product line (formerly Pachamama Disposables), which we expect to provide access to additional sales channels and broaden our customer base. These innovative product formats currently represent Charlie’s fastest-growing product category. We are continuing with our plan to obtain marketing authorization for certain of our nicotine-based vapor products through the submission of our September 2020 Premarket Tobacco Applications ("PMTAs”). We have allocated further resources and new personnel to support our research and development initiatives in order to submit additional PMTAs, including our May 13, 2022 submissions pertaining to the Company’s synthetically derived nicotine Pacha Syn product line. Obtaining a marketing order from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) would, we believe, advance the Company’s position as a trusted, industry leader committed to full regulatory compliance. We believe that a significant number of our competitors will not have the necessary resources and/or expertise to complete the extensive and costly PMTA process and that, once authorized by the FDA, Charlie’s will benefit significantly by emerging as one of a select group of companies able to continue operating in the nicotine vapor products space.

Recent Developments

April 2022 Note Financing

On April 6, 2022, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) to one of its largest individual stockholders, Michael King (the “Lender") in the principal amount of $1,000,000, which Note is secured by certain assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Lender (the "Note Financing").

The Note requires the payment of principal and guaranteed interest in the amount of at least $90,000 on or before the earlier date of (i) a Liquidity Event, as defined under the terms of the Note; or (ii) September 28, 2022. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Note Financing for general corporate purposes, and its working capital requirements, pending the availability of alternative debt financing.

PMTA

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products informed us that our PMTA received a valid submission tracking number, passed the FDA’s filing review phase, and recently entered the substantive review phase. To date, the Company has invested more than $4.4 million for our initial PMTA submission. We engaged a team of more than 200 professionals, including doctors, scientists, biostatisticians, data analysts, and numerous contract research organizations to create our comprehensive PMTA submission. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the FDA began issuing Marketing Denial Orders (“MDOs”) for electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) products that lack evidence to demonstrate that permitting the marketing of such products would be appropriate for the protection of the public health.

On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company was required to file a PMTA for its existing synthetic nicotine products marketed under the Pacha Syn brands by May 14, 2022 or be subject to FDA enforcement.  The Company filed new PMTAs for its synthetic Pacha Syn products, on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022, deadline. 

As of June 30, 2022, Charlie’s 2020 PMTA remains among the select minority of applications submitted to the FDA that has not received an MDO or Refuse-to-File designation. This fact highlights our progress toward achieving full regulatory compliance and demonstrates the emphasis our Company places on providing customers with a trusted product portfolio.

Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”, or, “Coronavirus”) has had, and continues to have, a negative impact on the global economy and the markets in which we operate. Beginning in March 2020, the Company transitioned nearly all employees to a remote working environment for their safety and to protect the integrity of Company operations. We have updated certain sales, accounting and administrative processes, and corresponding information technology platforms, in an effort to help facilitate the virtual work environment which still persists for some employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we engaged in periodic, informal testing of our business operations, and we do not believe that our financial position, work efficiency and overall operational integrity have been materially affected. However, we recognize that a certain degree of employee enthusiasm, teamwork, creativity, and support is normally generated by being present at a physical location, and we believe that prolonged remote working may have a negative impact over time on our business, and on employee productivity. Our Huntington Beach, CA warehouse location has returned fully to “on premise” status, while our corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA remains remote for some employees. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation in all regions in which we operate and will maintain strict adherence to local health guidelines and mandates. We may need to take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees or are required by federal, state, or local authorities.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an environment that is subject to rapid changes and developments in laws and regulations that could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to sell its products. Federal, state, and local governmental bodies across the United States have indicated that flavored e-cigarette liquid, vaporization products and certain other consumption accessories may become subject to new laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels. Beginning in September 2019, certain states temporarily banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, and on January 2, 2020, the FDA issued an enforcement policy effectively banning the sale of flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes marketed primarily by large manufacturers without prior authorization from the FDA. The application of any new laws or regulations that may be adopted in the future, at a federal, state, or local level, directly or indirectly implicating flavored e-cigarette liquid and products used for the vaporization of nicotine could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell such products, result in additional compliance expenses, and/or require the Company to change its labeling and/or methods of distribution. Any ban of the sale of flavored e-cigarettes directly limits the markets in which the Company may sell its products. In addition, in June 2022, the FDA announced a plan to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels. In the event the prevalence of such bans and/or changes in laws and regulations increase across the United States, or internationally, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. In addition, the Company is presently seeking to obtain marketing authorization for certain of its nicotine-based vapor products. Our PMTA applications were submitted in September 2020 on a timely basis, which if approved, will allow the Company to continue to sell certain of its products in the United States. At this date, Charlie’s PMTA remains among the select minority of applications submitted to the FDA that has not received an MDO or Refuse-to-File designation. However, it is possible that the FDA will request additional information or that the Company will need to amend its PMTA at some point in the future. Further, the Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products, on May 13, 2022. It is not a certainty that the Company will receive marketing orders for one or more of its products on any of its PMTAs.  Though the Company’s 2020 PMTA is currently in substantive review with the FDA, and though we believe that each of our PMTA’s are of the highest quality, there is no guarantee that we will receive an “acceptance filing” from the FDA for our May 2022 submission. The Company may also require additional financing in the future to support potential PMTA related expenses and general working capital. There is no assurance that regulatory approval to sell our products will be granted or that we can raise the additional financing required and, if not, this could have a significant impact on our sales.

In addition, the impact from COVID-19 has affected our supply chain, and if disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak persist and are prolonged, it will continue to have an adverse impact on our business.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Regarding results from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we generated revenue of approximately $7,397,000, as compared to revenue of $5,433,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This $1,964,000 increase in revenue was due primarily to a $1,977,000 increase in sales of our nicotine-based vapor products, offset by a $13,000 decrease in sales of our hemp-derived products.

-19-

We generated net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, of approximately $636,000 as compared to net income of approximately $19,764,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 includes research and development expense of $744,000 and non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $38,000. The net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $165,000 and a non-cash gain in fair value of derivative liabilities of $19,274,000.

A review of the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, follows:

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by approximately $1,964,000 or 36.1%, to approximately $7,397,000, as compared to approximately $5,433,000 for same period in 2021 due to a $1,977,000 increase in sales of our nicotine-based vapor products, offset by a $13,000 decrease in sales of our hemp-derived products. The increase in our nicotine-based vapor product sales was driven by sales of our new 12ml Pacha Syn Disposable line and our refreshed Pacha Syn e-liquid line, both of which launched in the second quarter of 2022, as well as incremental market penetration of our existing Pacha Syn Disposable products. Pacha Syn Disposables became Charlie’s first-ever entrant into the rapidly expanding, disposable e-cigarette market and offer adult users a variety of premium flavors containing synthetic nicotine (not derived from tobacco) in a compact, discrete format. However, regulatory challenges including the recently announced requirement for synthetic nicotine products to obtain approval from the FDA, as well as continued uncertainty surrounding the FDA’s issuance of MDO’s and Refuse-to-File designations, tempered buying patterns in the domestic market as customers scrutinized inventories of related products. The decrease in sales for our hemp-derived business was directly related to an intentional sunsetting of certain SKUs as the Company prepares to rebrand and launch new, innovative product formats into this market. The hemp-derived products market is currently experiencing a condensed and rapidly evolving product development cycle which requires corporate agility and swift market penetration; however, we continue to believe that this category offers significant short- and medium-term growth potential for our Company.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, which consists of direct costs of materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, and other overhead costs increased by approximately $1,764,000 or 63.1%, to approximately $4,558,000 or 61.6% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $2,794,000, or 51.4% of revenue, for the same period in 2021. This cost, as a percent of revenue, increased due to a higher sales mix consisting of our Pacha Syn Disposable product line, which carries a lower margin per unit relative to our other products, as well as higher comparative freight and delivery expense and inventory value adjustments.

-20-

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, total general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $587,000 to $1,870,000 as compared to approximately $2,457,000 for the same period in 2021. This change was primarily comprised of decreases of approximately $574,000 in payroll and benefits, $153,000 in professional fees and $128,000 in non-cash stock based compensation. The decrease in payroll and benefits expense was primarily due to Employee Retention Credits received in conjunction with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act which was enacted in November 2021. The decrease in professional fees during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to advisory services that occurred as a result of the March 2021 Private Placement. The decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation in 2022 is related to the conclusion of the vesting period for shares of Common Stock awarded to several employees in conjunction with the Share Exchange completed in April 2019 (See Note 3). This decrease in overall general and administrative expenses was offset by increases of $56,000 in provision for bad debt, $54,000 in travel expenses related to business development, and $158,000 of other general and administrative expenses. The increase in provision for bad debt was the result of higher sales achieved during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Increased insurance premiums, merchant processing fees and costs related to the closure of our Denver office location comprised the changes in other general and administrative expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, total sales and marketing expense increased by approximately $437,000, 124.9%, to approximately $787,000 as compared to approximately $350,000 for the same period in 2021, which was primarily due to enhanced trade-show activity during the quarter in furtherance of our plan to grow market share across the nicotine and hemp-derived product categories. Sales commissions increased due to revenue growth across our businesses, however the increase was mitigated by further restructuring of our sales team and compensation program at the beginning of 2022.

Research and Development Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, total research and development costs increased to approximately $744,000 as compared to no research of development costs for the same period in 2021, which was primarily due to costs associated with our 2022 PMTA submissions.

Income from Operations

We had operating loss of approximately $562,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to an increase in research and development expense related to our 2022 PMTA submissions. We also incurred certain non-cash, general and administrative expenses during the period including a $38,000 expense related to stock-based compensation. Net loss is determined by adjusting loss from operations by the following items:

● Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the gain in fair value of derivative liabilities was $12,000, compared to a gain in fair value of derivative liabilities of $19,274,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The derivative liability is associated with the issuance of the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined in Note 3 of this Report) in connection with the Share Exchange. The gain for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, reflects the effect of the decrease in stock price as of June 30, 2022, compared to March 31, 2022. Due to the limited supply of shares currently freely trading, our stock price may experience volatility and therefore, considerable fluctuations in the value of our warrant derivative liability in the future. We had 40,337,693 warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

● Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we recorded interest expense related to notes payable of $91,000 and $3,000, respectively.

● Gain on debt extinguishment. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0 and $658,000, respectively. The amounts in 2021 related to the forgiveness of the Charlie’s PPP Loan.

● Other Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we recorded other income of $5,000 and $3,000, respectively.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net loss of $636,000 as compared to a net income of $19,764,000 for the same period in 2021 (primarily as a result of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities).

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $5,677,000 or 58.0%, to approximately $15,471,000, as compared to approximately $9,794,000 for same period in 2021 due to a $4,784,000 increase in sales of our nicotine-based vapor products, as well as a $893,000 increase in sales of our hemp-derived products. The increase in our nicotine-based vapor product sales was driven by sales of our new 8ml Pacha Syn Disposable line, which launched in December 2021, as well as our 12ml Pacha Syn Disposable and refreshed Pacha Syn e-liquid lines, which launched in the second quarter of 2022. Pacha Syn Disposables became Charlie’s first-ever entrant into the rapidly expanding, disposable e-cigarette market and offer adult users a variety of premium flavors containing synthetic nicotine (not derived from tobacco) in a compact, discrete format. However, regulatory challenges including the recently announced requirement for synthetic nicotine products to obtain approval from the FDA, as well as continued uncertainty surrounding the FDA’s issuance of MDO’s and Refuse-to-File designations, tempered buying patterns in the domestic market as customers scrutinized inventories of related products. The increase in sales for our hemp-derived business was directly related to strong performance in our alternative cannabinoid category, which includes products containing synthetically derived cannabinoids, including Delta-8-THC and other synthetic THC compounds. The hemp-derived products market is currently experiencing a condensed and rapidly evolving product development cycle which requires corporate agility and swift market penetration; however, we continue to believe that this category offers significant short- and medium-term growth potential for our Company. We are actively pursuing new and innovative brands and product formats to offer our broad customer base.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, which consists of direct costs of materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, and other overhead costs increased approximately $4,255,000, or 89.8%, to approximately $8,992,000, or 58.1% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $4,737,000, or 48.4% of revenue, for the same period in 2021. This cost, as a percent of revenue, increased due to a higher sales mix consisting of our Pacha Syn Disposable product line, which carries a lower margin per unit relative to our other products, as well as higher comparative freight and delivery expense and a larger reserve for inventory obsolescence related to certain of our retired hemp-derived wellness products.

-22-

General and Administrative Expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, total general and administrative expense decreased approximately $246,000, or 5.3%, to $4,429,000 as compared to approximately $4,675,000 for the same period in 2021. Notably, this decrease is comprised of reductions of approximately $468,000 of non-cash, stock-based compensation and $205,000 of professional fees. The decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation is related to the conclusion of the vesting period for shares of Common Stock awarded to several employees in conjunction with the Share Exchange completed in April 2019 (See Note 3). The decrease in professional fees during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to advisory services that occurred as a result of the March 2021 Private Placement as well as other consulting services related to an internal project focused on the creation of a solution “network” necessary to effectively meet the requirements of both the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and the PACT Act. The decrease was primarily offset by increases of $166,000 in provision for bad debt, $120,000 in audit and external accounting fees, $82,000 in merchant processing fees and $59,000 in other general and administrative expenses. The increase in provision for bad debt was related to higher sales achieved during the six month period ended June 30, 2022. The increase in audit and external accounting fees was primarily due to higher than anticipated costs related to our annual audit as well as costs related to the calculation of our 2021 income tax provision.

Sales and Marketing Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, total sales and marketing expense increased approximately $720,000, or 93.5%, to approximately $1,490,000 as compared to approximately $770,000 for the same period in 2021, which was primarily due to enhanced trade-show activity during the quarter in furtherance of our plan to grow market share across the nicotine and hemp-derived product categories. Sales commissions also increased due to revenue growth across our businesses, however the increase was mitigated by further restructuring of our sales team and compensation program at the beginning of 2022.

Research and Development Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, total research and development expense increased approximately $746,000 to approximately $755,000 as compared to $9,000 for the same period in 2021, which was primarily due to costs associated with our 2022 PMTA submissions.

Loss from Operations

We had operating losses of approximately $195,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to $755,000 in research and development expense as well as a $57,000 increase in the provision for inventory obsolescence. We also incurred certain general and administrative expenses that contributed to the loss from operations including a $56,000 expense related to non-cash, stock-based compensation. Net income is determined by adjusting loss from operations by the following items:

● Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the gain in fair value of derivative liabilities was $352,000 compared to a loss in fair value of derivative liability of $828,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The derivative liability is associated with the issuance of the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined in Note 3 of this Report) in connection with the Share Exchange. The gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects the effect of the decrease in stock price as of June 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021. Due to the limited supply of shares currently freely trading, our stock price may experience volatility and therefore, considerable fluctuations in the value of our warrant derivative liability in the future. We had 40,337,693 warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

● Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, we recorded interest expense related to notes payable of $92,000 and $31,000, respectively.

● Gain on debt extinguishment. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $875,000 related to the forgiveness of the Don Polly PPP Loan and the Charlie’s PPP Loan.

● Other Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded other income of $5,000 and $8,000, respectively.

Net Income (Loss)

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $70,000 as compared to a net loss of $373,000 for the same period in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $3,772,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $8,786,000 and current liabilities of approximately $6,014,000, as compared to working capital of approximately $2,460,000 at December 31, 2021. The current liabilities, as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022 included elsewhere in this Report primarily include approximately $4,042,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximately $203,000 of deferred revenue associated with product shipped but not yet received by customers, approximately $222,000 of lease liabilities, and $547,000 of derivative liability associated with the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants (the derivative liability of $547,000 is included in determining the working capital of $3,772,000 but is not expected to use any cash to ultimately satisfy the liability).

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2022 was approximately $488,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,276,000, resulting from a net income of $70,000, offset by a $352,000 of change in fair value of derivative liabilities and $1,654,000 of changes in our operating assets and liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $325,000, resulting from a net loss of $373,000, which included a $875,000 gain from debt extinguishment, but was partially offset by $524,000 of share-based compensation, $828,000 of change in fair value of derivative liabilities and $773,000 changes in our operating assets and liabilities. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used cash for investment activities of approximately $102,000 as compared to $40,000 for the same period in 2021. The cash used for investment activities is primarily for the on-going development and configuration of enterprise resource planning software.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 we generated approximately $1,000,000 cash from financing activities related to the issuance of a promissory note to a large shareholder. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 we generated approximately $904,000 cash from financing activities from the Private Placement (as defined in Note 10 of Item 1, Part 1 of this Report) offset by the repayment of the Red Beard Note (as defined in Note 8 of Item 1, Part 1 of this Report). We also paid cash dividends of $880,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Going Concern Uncertainty Regarding the Legal and Regulatory Environment, Liquidity and Management’s Plan of Operation

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company operates in a rapidly changing legal and regulatory environment; new laws and regulations or changes to existing laws and regulations could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell its products, and/or result in additional costs. Additionally, the Company was required to apply for FDA approval to continue selling and marketing its products used for the vaporization of nicotine in the United States. Currently, a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are derived from products that are subject to approval by the FDA. There was significant cost associated with the application process and there can be no assurance the FDA will approve previous and/or future application. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the Company’s supply chain and sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated loss from operations of approximately $195,000, and a consolidated net income of approximately $70,000 but used cash in operations of approximately $1,276,000. The Company had stockholders’ equity of $3.3 million at June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s working capital requirements continued to evolve as current assets increased to $8.8 million from $8.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and currently liabilities increased to $6.0 million from $4.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Considering these facts, the issuance of one or several MDOs from the FDA would increase the potential for inventory obsolescence and uncollectable accounts receivables. These regulatory risks, as well as other industry-specific challenges remain factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

-24-

Our plans and growth depend on our ability to increase revenues, raise additional capital, and continue our business development efforts, including the expenditure of approximately $4,400,000 to date, to complete our PMTA process for the Company’s 2020 submissions to the FDA. On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make the Company’s synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company was required to file a PMTA for its existing synthetic nicotine products marketed under the Pacha Syn brands by May 14, 2022 or be subject to FDA enforcement.  The Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022 deadline. In 2022 the Company intends to allocate further resources and new personnel to support research and development initiatives in order to support existing, or subsequent PMTAs. The Company may require additional financing in the future to support subsequent PMTA filings, and/or in the event the FDA requests additional testing for one, or several, of the Company’s prior PMTA submissions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and, in the Company’s best interests. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating lease commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expense in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. The critical accounting estimates that affect the consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described under Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on the 2021 Annual Report.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our President, the principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and counterclaims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in the 2021 Annual Report. In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part 1, Item 1A, of the 2021 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. Any losses or damages we incur could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and our ability to conduct business as expected. The risks described in our 2021 Annual Report and in our subsequent reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management, or that management presently believes not to be material, may also result in material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

Charlie’s Holdings, Inc., (formerly True Drinks Holdings, Inc.) a Nevada corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entity (collectively, the “Company”, “we”), currently formulates, markets, and distributes premium, nicotine-based vapor products. The Company’s products are produced domestically by contract manufacturers for sale by select distributors, specialty retailers and third-party online resellers throughout the United States, as well as in more than 80 countries worldwide. The Company’s primary international markets include the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. In June 2019, The Company launched distribution of certain premium vapor, ingestible and topical products containing hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”) and other compounds derived from hemp through Don Polly, a Nevada limited liability company that is owned by entities controlled by Brandon and Ryan Stump, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and a consolidated variable interest for which the Company is the primary beneficiary (“Don Polly”). Our hemp-based products are produced, marketed and sold through Don Polly, and the Company intends to develop and launch additional products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids in the future.

In addition to Don Polly, we also wholly-own Charlie’s Chalk Dust, LLC (“Charlie’s” or “CCD”), which also produces and sells our premium, nicotine-based vapor products.

The Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), trades under the symbol "CHUC" on the OTCQB Venture Market.

Reverse Stock Split

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of 1-for-100 (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was effective as of June 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). All share and per share amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) have been retroactively adjusted to account for the Reverse Split.

Going Concern Uncertainty Regarding the Legal and Regulatory Environment, Liquidity and Management’s Plan of Operation

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company operates in a rapidly changing legal and regulatory environment; new laws and regulations or changes to existing laws and regulations could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell its products, and/or result in additional costs. Additionally, the Company was required to apply for FDA approval to continue selling and marketing its products used for the vaporization of nicotine in the United States. Currently, a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are derived from products that are subject to approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). There was significant cost associated with the application process and there can be no assurance the FDA will approve previous and/or future applications. In addition, the outbreak of a COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) has had a negative impact on the Company’s supply chain and sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated a loss from operations of approximately $195,000, and a consolidated net income of approximately $70,000, but used cash in operations of approximately $1.3 million. The Company had stockholders’ equity of $3.3 million at June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s working capital requirements continued to evolve as current assets increased to $8.8 million from $8.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and currently liabilities increased to $6.0 million from $4.8 million as of March 31, 2022. Considering these facts, the issuance of one or several Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”) from the FDA would increase the potential for inventory obsolescence and uncollectable accounts receivables. These regulatory risks, as well as other industry-specific challenges remain factors that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management's plans depend on its ability to increase revenues, raise additional capital, and continue its business development efforts, including the expenditure of approximately $4,400,000 to date, to complete the Pre-Market Tobacco Application (“PMTA”) process for the Company’s 2020 submissions to the FDA. On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make the Company’s synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022 deadline. The Company intends to allocate further resources and new personnel to support research and development initiatives in order to support existing, or subsequent PMTAs. The Company may require additional financing in the future to support subsequent PMTA filings, and/or in the event the FDA requests additional testing for one, or several, of the Company’s prior PMTA submissions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and, in the Company’s best interests. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an environment that is subject to rapid changes and developments in laws and regulations that could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to sell its products. Beginning in September 2019, certain states temporarily banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, and several states and municipalities are considering implementing similar restrictions. Federal, state, and local governmental bodies across the United States have indicated that flavored e-cigarette liquid, vaporization products and certain other consumption accessories may become subject to new laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. In addition, in June 2022, the FDA announced a plan to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels. The application of any new laws or regulations that may be adopted in the future, at a federal, state, or local level, directly or indirectly implicating nicotine, flavored e-cigarette liquid and other electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) products, could significantly limit the Company’s ability to sell such products, result in additional compliance expenses, and/or require the Company to change its labeling and/or methods of distribution. Any ban of the sale of flavored e-cigarettes directly limits the markets in which the Company may sell its products. In the event the prevalence of such bans and/or changes in laws and regulations increase across the United States, or internationally, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. In addition, the Company is presently seeking to obtain marketing authorization for certain of its tobacco-derived nicotine e-liquid products. The Company’s applications were submitted in September 2020 on a timely basis, which if approved, will allow the Company to continue to sell its approved products in the United States. Beginning in August 2021, the FDA began issuing Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”) for ENDS products that lack evidence to demonstrate that permitting the marketing of such products would be appropriate for the protection of the public health. The Company has not received an MDO for any of its submissions; however there is no assurance that regulatory approval to sell our products will be granted or that we would be able to raise additional financing if required, which could have a significant impact on our sales. On March 15, 2022, a new rider to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed granting the FDA authority over synthetic nicotine.  These regulations make the Company’s synthetic nicotine products subject to the same FDA rules as tobacco-derived nicotine products.  As such, the Company was required to file a PMTA for its existing synthetic nicotine products marketed under the Pacha Syn brands by May 14, 2022 or be subject to FDA enforcement.  The Company filed new PMTAs, for its synthetic Pacha Syn products on May 13, 2022, prior to the May 14, 2022 deadline.

In addition, the impact from COVID-19 has affected our supply chain, and if disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak persist and are prolonged, it will continue to have an adverse impact on our business.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented in this Report not misleading.

Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2021 balances within the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Standards 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13"), which supersedes current guidance requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets, including trade and other receivables, at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard will be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASU 2020-06 modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 was adopted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard was material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), the Company uses various inputs to measure the outstanding warrants on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy categorizing inputs into three levels used to measure and disclose fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. An explanation of each level in the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible by the Company on the measurement date.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the instrument requiring the development of assumptions by the Company.

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

	Fair Value at December 31, 2021
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Derivative liability - Warrants		899		-		-		899
Total liabilities	$	899	$	-	$	-	$	899

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs (amounts in thousands).

	Derivative liability - Warrants
Balance at January 1, 2022	$	899
Change in fair value		(352	)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	547

A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in the Monte Carlo simulation measuring the Company’s derivative liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, is as follows:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Exercise price	$	0.4431		$	0.4431
Contractual term (years)		1.82			2.32
Volatility (annual)		100.0	%		90.0	%
Risk-free rate		2.9	%		0.8	%
Dividend yield (per share)		0	%		0	%

On April 26, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange”) with each of the former members (“Members”) of Charlie’s, and certain direct investors in the Company (“Direct Investors”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all outstanding membership interests of Charlie’s beneficially owned by the Members in exchange for the issuance by the Company of units. Immediately prior to, and in connection with, the Share Exchange, Charlie’s consummated a private offering of membership interests that resulted in net proceeds to Charlie’s of approximately $27.5 million (the “Charlie’s Financing”). In conjunction with the Share Exchange, the Company issued to holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”), warrants to purchase an aggregate of 31,028,996 shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrants”) and to its placement agent, Katalyst Securities LLC, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,308,699 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). Both the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have a five-year term and a strike price of $0.44313 per share. Due to the exercise features of these warrants, they are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore not afforded equity treatment in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants as derivative instruments on its consolidated balance sheet. ASC 815 requires derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability and to be measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in the Company’s earnings for each reporting period.

Variable Interest Entity Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 6 – DON POLLY, LLC

Don Polly is a Nevada limited liability company that is owned by entities controlled by Brandon and Ryan Stump, a former and current executive officer of the Company, respectively, and a consolidated variable interest for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Don Polly formulates, sells and distributes the Company’s hemp-derived product lines.

Don Polly is classified as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Under ASC 810-10-15, Variable Interest Entities, a VIE is an entity that: (1) has an insufficient amount of equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support by other parties; (2) the equity investors are unable to make significant decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights; or (3) the equity investors do not have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns of the entity. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary, that is, the enterprise has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with VIE to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with the entity and it re-evaluates that conclusion each reporting period. Effective April 25, 2019, we began consolidating the financial statements of Don Polly and it is still considered a VIE of the Company.

Don Polly operates under exclusive licensing and service contracts with the Company whereby the Company receives 100% of net income, or incurs 100% of the net loss of the VIE. There are no non-controlling interests recorded.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

NOTE 9 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted weighted average common shares include common stock potentially issuable under the Company’s convertible preferred stock, warrants and vested and unvested stock options.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net income (loss) is adjusted for gain from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases office space under agreements classified as operating leases that expire on various dates through 2024. All of the Company’s lease liabilities result from the lease of its headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, which expires in 2024, its warehouse in Santa Ana, California, which expired in 2021, its office and warehouse in Denver, Colorado, which expired in May 2022, and its warehouse space in Huntington Beach, California, which expires in 2022. On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for the Company’s sales and marketing operations in Williamsville, New York (“Williamsville Lease”) with Henry Sicignano Jr., a relative of the Company’s President, Henry Sicignano III. The Williamsville Lease, which became effective on May 1, 2022, has a term of one year and a base rent of $1,650 per month. The Williamsville Lease is considered a modified gross lease and therefore the Company will also be responsible for additional monthly expenses including gas, electricity, and internet. The Williamsville Lease was evaluated and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Such leases do not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions, or contain any residual value guarantees. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal options and escalation clauses; renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liabilities and right of use assets as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses. The Company does not act as a lessor or have any leases classified as financing leases.

The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company entered into a commercial lease for the Company’s corporate headquarters (the “Lease”) in Costa Mesa, California with Brandon Stump, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Stump, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Keith Stump, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Stumps purchased the property that is the subject of the Lease in July 2019. The Lease, which was effective as of September 1, 2019, on a month-to-month basis, was then formalized on November 1, 2019 to have a term of five years and a base rent rate of $22,940 per month, which rate is subject to annual adjustments based on the consumer price index, as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties to the Lease. The terms of the Lease were negotiated and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors, after reviewing a detailed analysis of comparable properties and rent rates compiled by an independent, third-party consultant. The total amount paid to related parties for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $134,452 and $139,020, respectively.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had operating lease liabilities of approximately $540,000 and right of use assets of approximately $540,000 which were included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 13 - Income Taxes

Notes to Financial Statements

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is comprised of domestic (US federal and state) income taxes at the applicable tax rates, adjusted for non-deductible expenses, stock compensation expenses, and other permanent differences. Our income tax provision may be significantly affected by changes to our estimates.  However, due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the net impact to our overall income tax expense is limited.

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage points (by value) in the ownership of its equity over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change tax attributes to offset its post change income may be limited. We may have experienced such ownership changes in the past, and we may experience ownership changes in the future or subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, many of which are outside our control. As of December 31, 2021, we had state net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $6.1 million and federal NOLs of $4.2 million. The federal NOLs do not expire but the state NOLs expire if not utilized before 2041. If we undergo future ownership changes, many of which may be outside of our control, our ability to utilize our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be further limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise become unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. Additionally, our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be limited under state law. For these reasons, even if we attain profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s estimate for income taxes was not determined to be significant and therefore, is not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented in this Report not misleading.

Amounts related to disclosure of December 31, 2021 balances within the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Standards 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13"), which supersedes current guidance requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets, including trade and other receivables, at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard will be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASU 2020-06 modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 was adopted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard was material to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
