NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Truett-Hurst, Inc. (“THI”) and its subsidiaries: H.D.D. LLC (“LLC”) and The Wine Spies, LLC (“Wine Spies”) (collectively, “we,” “Truett-Hurst” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with general instructions for quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. THI consolidates the financial results of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary. Such noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in the aforementioned subsidiaries that is not attributable to THI.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, and, in the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015.

Quantities or results referred to as “to date” or “as of this date” mean as of or to September 30, 2015, unless otherwise specifically noted. References to “FY” or “fiscal year” refer to our fiscal year ending on June 30^th of the designated year.

Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the discussion of our continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported consolidated results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03 - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.” This will have no impact on us.

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

In February 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for a tasting room and winery.  The lease is for five years, commencing on March 1, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2016, and contains one option to extend for an additional period of five years.  On July 27, 2015 we exercised the option to extend our lease of the property through February 29, 2021. We have the right of first refusal in the event the lessor desires to sell the leased property.  Annual rent for the tasting room is $0.1 million, due monthly.  The winery rent is subject to adjustment based on the actual number of cases produced each year; however, future payments are based on a minimum number of cases, as specified in the agreement.  Beginning on September 1, 2012 and annually thereafter, tasting room and winery rent is increased by 3%.  Lease expense is accounted for on a straight-line basis.

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt

Since June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to our credit facilities and our borrowings as disclosed in the “Notes to the Financial Statements – Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

The credit facilities, which mature on July 31, 2016, include (a) a revolving line of credit with a maximum commitment of $10.0 million which accrues interest at 2.25% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), (b) a capital equipment line with a maximum commitment of a $0.5 million which carries an interest rate of 2.25% above floating One-Month LIBOR, and (c) a foreign exchange facility with a maximum commitment of $0.1 million which allows to enter into any spot or forward transaction to purchase from or sell to our bank a foreign currency. We did not use the foreign exchange facility during the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.

The credit facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets. Availability is subject to a monthly borrowing base and compliance with certain covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current assets to current liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), a debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly) and a debt service coverage ratio (measured annually at our fiscal year end). The bank loans obtained on July 15, 2015 also include a minimum EBITDA covenant to be measured on December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016.

Production

We enter into various contracts with third party service providers for grape crushing and bottling. The costs are recorded in the period for which the service is provided. The actual costs related to custom crush services are based on volume. Our current contract for custom crush only covers the 2015 harvest. Our current bottling contract requires a minimum of 200,000 cases at $2.40 per case to be bottled in a one year period.

Guarantees

Since June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to our guarantees as disclosed in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be subject to various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than discussed below, we are not aware of any current pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On October 21, 2015, H.D.D. LLC (“HDD”), the operating subsidiary of Truett Hurst, Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter from Hambrecht Wine Group, L.P. (the “Lessor”), the lessor of HDD’s winery and tasting room facility at 4035 Westside Road, Healdsburg, California, under a lease dated February 8, 2011 (the “Lease”), purporting to terminate the Lease effective as of that date, and rejecting HDD’s prior exercise of its election to extend for five years the original term of the Lease (which expires February 29, 2016). Lessor’s purported termination is based on purported defaults by HDD under provisions of the Lease relating to payment of rent and late charges (predicated on HDD’s withholding of approximately $33,000 in rent from several monthly rental payments in 2011, 2013 and 2014 due to a disagreement over the responsibility to provide water to the leased facility), the non-delivery by HDD of production reports and estimated production reports designed to determine whether additional rent was payable, and purported failure to comply with a provision of the Lease entitled “Assignment and Subletting.”

The Company intends to take all appropriate actions, including arbitration or litigation, to preserve its right to occupancy under the Lease for its full term, including the five year extension. No assurances can be made, however, that the Company will be successful in this effort. The loss of the lease could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Exchange Agreement

Prior to the completion of the IPO, we entered into an exchange agreement with the existing owners of the LLC, several of whom are directors and/or officers. Under the exchange agreement, each existing owner (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement), exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at our election. As a holder exchanges their LLC Units, our interest in the LLC will be correspondingly increased. During FY15, certain members exchanged 0.2 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange agreement. There were no exchanges of LLC units during the first quarter of FY16.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the LLC unit holders which provides for payment by the Company to the LLC unit holders who convert their units to shares, an amount equal to 90% of the amount of the benefit, if any, that are realized as a result of (i) increases in tax basis associated with the election effected under Section 754 of the Code, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Any payments under the tax receivable agreement will depend upon whether we have taxable income to utilize the benefit.

We will be required to pay the counterparties to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with current exchanges, future purchases or exchanges of LLC Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued

H.D.D. LLC intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC at the time of an exchange of LLC Units. As a result of these exchanges, Truett-Hurst, Inc. will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC. In addition, the purchase of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC that otherwise would not have been available.

Both this proportionate share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Truett-Hurst, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

We recorded deferred tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock during FY14 and FY15. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which represents 90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed TRA liability and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for $6.4 million as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted in corresponding adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.

There was no activity related to the Tax Receivable Agreement in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Indemnification

From time to time we enter into certain types of contracts that contingently require us to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties.  These contracts primarily relate to (i) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from our use of the applicable premises, (ii) certain agreements with our officers, directors, and employees, under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship, (iii) contracts under which we may be required to indemnify customers against third-party claims that our product infringes a patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and (iv) procurement or license agreements, under which we may be required to indemnify licensors or vendors for certain claims that may be brought against them arising from our acts or omissions with respect to the supplied products or technology.

Generally, a maximum obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated thus an estimate of this potential obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically, we have not been required to make payments under these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, for these obligations on our balance sheets.

NOTE 8 – OUT OF DATE PRODUCT

In January 2015, we were notified by a large national retailer that inventory of Paper Boy product on their shelves had partially oxidized. Our terms of sale provide for limited return rights only in circumstances where products are not merchantable due to quality deficiencies. We determined that Paper Boy’s shelf life met quality specifications for the product, which are consistent with other similar products in the market, and, therefore, we did not have contractual obligation to accept returns of, or to replace, the product. However, on a one time basis we agreed to work with various impacted parties to remove the expired product. Consistent with ASC-450, Contingencies, which outlines accounting and disclosure requirements for loss and gain contingencies, we established an accrual for the estimated probable loss associated with our role in dealing with the out-of-date product, net of recoveries.

Since December 31, 2014 when the accrual was established, we have processed return credits of approximately $0.06 against the accrual for sales returns leaving an outstanding balance of $0.5 as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

We have granted restricted stock awards and have the right to grant stock options and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and non-employees under our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. For a complete discussion of 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, please refer to Note 13 - Stock-based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the 2012 Plan has 0.4 million shares reserved for issuance and a total of 0.6 million granted equity incentive shares outstanding.

On February 4, 2013, we granted restricted stock to an independent contractor who serves as our Creative Director. The award vests over three years, and had a fair value at the date of grant of $0.9 million for a 5% interest in the LLC. We record the fair value and recognize the associated expense per FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees which defines the measurement date as the earlier of the date at which the commitment for performance is reached, or the date at which the performance is complete is the day that the fair value of the equity award is expensed. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards, to non-employees, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, and is subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vests. As of September 30, 2015, the stock was valued at $0.7 million, we have recognized $0.7 million in cumulative expense and further expense may not be recognized related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.35 years.

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, continued

On December 9, 2013, we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vests over three years and has a fair value at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. As of December 31, 2014, we reduced the vesting term to two years to match the director’s term. We have recognized $0.03 million in cumulative expense. At September 30, 2015, we had $0.004 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.19 years.

On June 25, 2014, we granted stock options to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vests over four years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.4 million. We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period. The fair value of the stock options are recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and there was $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.74 years.

On June 25, 2014, we granted restricted stock units to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vest over four years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.4 million. The grant date fair value of RSU awards is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and there was $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.74 years.

On December 15, 2014, we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vest over one year and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.05 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the one - year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.04 million in cumulative expense and had $0.01 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.21 years.

On December 15, 2014, we granted 0.008 million shares of restricted stock to a director of our company which vest over three years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the three - year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.008 of cumulative expense and had $0.02 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.21 years.

On April 8, 2015, we granted 0.07 million shares of stock options to an officer of H.D.D. LLC which vests over 4 years and has a fair value at date of grant of $0.1 million. We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The fair value of the stock option is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.02 million in cumulative expense and had $0.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.52 years.

NOTE 10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2015			September 30, 2014
	(in thousands, except share data)
Net loss attributable to Truett-Hurst, Inc.	$	(212	)	$	(100	)
Loss per share
Basic and dilutive Class A common share weighted average shares		4,027,183			3,750,472
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to us, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including convertible LLC units and equity incentive shares. The assumed exchange of 3.0 million LLC units for Class A common stock and the vesting of 0.6 million equity incentive shares have been excluded from the diluted loss per share because they are expected to have an anti-dilutive effect.

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in our earnings and therefore are not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities, which includes cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value based on prevailing interest rates and time to maturity.

In October 2012, we executed an interest rate swap obligation that was measured using observable inputs such as the LIBOR and Ten-year Treasury interest rates, and therefore has been categorized as Level 2. This derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument and has been recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of this instrument have been recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense). The following tables set forth our interest rate swap fair values at September 30, 2015 and at June 30, 2015:

NOTE 12 – TAXES

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY16 is 0% due to the company recording a full valuation allowance. In the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we had a tax benefit of $0.07 million against which we recorded a corresponding valuation allowance. The tax provision for the current year period is based on an estimate of our annualized income tax rate. Our effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact our subsidiaries operate as a limited liability company which is not subject to federal or state income tax.  Accordingly, a portion of our earnings are not subject to corporate level taxes. 

We had no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 and did not incur any income tax related interest expense or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 13 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION, SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Our primary reporting segments are identified by each distribution channel: wholesale, direct to consumer and internet.

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS

General

We produce and sell premium, super-premium, and ultra-premium wines and other select beverage alcohol products made from wine. The wine we make generally comes from grapes purchased from California-based growers. In addition, we purchase semi-finished bulk wine under contract and opportunistically on the spot-market. On a more limited basis, we also purchase finished goods from both foreign and domestic producers. We are headquartered in Sonoma County, California with tasting rooms in the Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. Our wines include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon and are sold across a number of price points via three distinct distribution channels: three-tier, direct to consumer and internet. Our business model is a combination of direct to consumer sales, traditional three-tier brand sales and retail exclusive brand sales. We own, design and develop our brands, including those developed and sold on a retailer exclusive basis. Our brands are differentiated and marketed through innovative packaging and label designs.

Wine sales in the three-tier channel are sold to distributors with programs available to the broad market or to specific retailers on an exclusive basis. Our traditional three-tier distribution business consists of sales of Truett-Hurst, VML, Healdsburg Ranches, Colby Red and Bradford Mountain branded wines. Through our retailer exclusive brand model we work with our retail partners to develop innovative brands which resonate with their customers and are intended to increase store traffic and expand exclusive brand sales. Our retail exclusive model allows us to own the brands we create, which we believe differentiates us from the traditional private label model, and allows us the option of expanding the brands into national and international markets, thereby increasing sales and building our brand equity.  Our direct to consumer channel consists of sales through our tasting rooms, wine clubs and via the internet.

Strategic Objectives

There are three primary categories into which we sell our wine: premium ($12 - $14 per bottle retail price), super-premium ($15 - $24 per bottle retail price), and ultra-premium ($25 - $49 per bottle retail price). We believe we can benefit from growth at the premium and above price points and continue to grow our business relying on our competitive strengths: our experienced and knowledgeable team; our relationships with the world’s top wine distributors and retailers; and our innovative approach to distribution and brand development. We intend to continue growing by:

· Developing innovative retail exclusive products that meet the needs of wine retailers. We have a reputation for developing innovative retail exclusive brands and working with our retailer partners on unique programs to support sales of those products. With our branding expertise we intend to continue innovation and build our market share with global wine retailers who are focused on increasing their profitability through retail exclusive offerings.

· Growing our customer base to include additional major U.S. retail chains. We are actively pursuing relationships with the largest retail chains in the United States and have further diversified our customer base, thereby reducing customer concentration risk.

· Expanding our direct to consumer business. Our wine clubs continue to grow due to growing consumer awareness of our brands from targeted public relations, exciting wine club events and advertising. The direct to consumer business generally generates higher gross margins and we intend to continue building this distribution channel in order to further our growth.

· Marketing to key international markets. During FY14, we completed an agreement with the Trialto Wine Group, LTD, based in Vancouver Canada, creating a national partnership to distribute the Truett-Hurst family of brands throughout Canada. We also continue selective brand development and distribution opportunities in other international markets.

· Developing new ways to engage customers and to distribute our products. We continue to be discovery-oriented in our approach and we are always looking for new innovations in and approaches to the global wine market. We believe that traditional wine marketing, to some degree, has stymied creativity and believe our innovative branding expertise allows us to rapidly capitalize on evolving customer demands.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

Our net sales are affected by advertising, discounts and promotions, merchandising, packaging and in the wholesale segment, the availability of display space at our retailer customers, all of which have a significant impact on consumers’ buying decisions. Continued growth of our net sales and profits will depend, substantially, on the continued popularity of our new and existing brands, our ability to effectively manage our sales by channel, and our ability to maintain sufficient product supply to meet expected growth in demand.

 Our cost of sales for the wholesale and direct to consumer segments includes wine-related inputs, such as grapes and semi-finished bulk wine, bottling materials, such as bottles, capsules, corks and labeling materials, labor and overhead expenses, including inbound and outbound freight, and barrel depreciation.  The internet segment cost of sales is comprised of finished cased wine.

Internet		445		1,284		(839	)		-65.3	%
Total net sales	$	6,815	$	6,482	$	333			5.1	%

Net sales increased to $6.8 million for the first quarter of FY16 from $6.5 million for the first quarter of FY15, an increase of $0.3 million.

Wholesale net sales increased 23.5% in the first quarter of FY16 compared to prior-year’s first quarter period. The increase in wholesale net sales was due to organic growth of certain of our brands as well as adding new retail exclusive products with our customers. Direct to consumer net sales increased 19.0% in the first quarter of FY16 compared to prior-year’s first quarter period. The increase in direct to consumer net sales was primarily due to our continued efforts to grow the channel through wine club sales and tasting room sales. Internet net sales decreased 65.3% for the first quarter of FY16 compared to the prior-year’s first quarter period. The internet net sales decrease was attributable to the loss of a key partnership during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. We anticipate that the near term run rate for net sales in the internet segment will continue to be below sales in the prior year periods.

International net sales were $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We record sales discounts and depletion allowances as a reduction of sales at the time of sale. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, sales discounts and depletion allowances totaled $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Total cost of sales	$	4,471	$	4,047	$	424			10.5	%

21

Our cost of sales increase for the first quarter of FY16 compared to the first quarter of FY15 was attributable to the related increase in sales and sales mix. Total cost of sales increase was 10.5% compared to net sales increase of 5.1% for the first quarter of FY16. The change in internet cost of sales was attributable to decreased unit sales volume.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of non-production personnel costs, advertising and other marketing promotions. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.05 million and $0.03 million, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses consist of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

Sales and marketing	$	1,581		$	1,565		$	16		1.0	%
Percentage of net sales		23.2	%		24.1	%

Sales and marketing expenses were flat in the first quarter of FY16 compared to the prior-year’s first quarter period.

We report the amounts billed to our customers for shipping and handling as sales, and we report the costs we incur for shipping and handling as a sales and marketing expense. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, shipping costs were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

22

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include the costs associated with our administrative staff and other expenses related to our non-manufacturing functions. General and administrative expenses consist of the following:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			Increase (Decrease)			% Change
	(in thousands, except percentages)
General and administrative	$	910		$	943		$	(33	)		-3.5	%
Percentage of net sales		13.4	%		14.5	%

General and administrative expense decreased 3.5% for the first quarter of FY16 compared to the prior-year’s first quarter period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributed to lower legal, consulting, and other professional fees offset by higher wages expenses including stock based compensation.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.08 million and $0.04 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Our primary sources of available cash are from operations, our credit facilities and equity offerings. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements (primarily inventory), capital expenditures for barrels and other equipment to facilitate increased production, repay our indebtedness (interest and principal payments) and operating expenses. We are able to borrow against our working capital assets (accounts receivable and inventory) via an asset based bank loan.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)			% Change
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Working capital	$	12,872	$	14,920	$	(2,048	)		-13.7	%
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,769	$	4,752	$	(1,983	)		-41.7	%

The credit facilities, which mature on July 31, 2016, include (a) a revolving line of credit with a maximum commitment of $10.0 million which accrues interest at 2.25% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), (b) a capital equipment line with a maximum commitment of a $0.5 million which carries an interest rate of 2.25% above floating One-Month LIBOR, and (c) a foreign exchange facility with a maximum commitment of $0.1 million which allows us to enter into any spot or forward transaction to purchase from or sell to our bank a foreign currency. We did not use the foreign exchange facility during the three month period ended September 30, 2015.

23

The outstanding balances on the components of the credit facilities are:

	September 30, 2015		June 30, 2015
	(in thousands)
Credit Facilities
Line of credit	$	9,915	$	8,534
Equipment line of credit		80		500
Total credit facilities	$	9,995	$	9,034

The credit facilities are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. Availability is subject to a monthly borrowing base and compliance with certain covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current assets to current liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), a debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly), a debt service coverage ratio (measured annually) and minimum EBITDA (measured at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016). We were in compliance in all material aspects with all such covenants at September 30, 2015.

We believe that our cash position, net cash provided by operating activities in coming periods, and our current credit facilities will be adequate to finance working capital and operations needs for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity, although no assurance can be given that such forms of capital will be available to us at all, or if available on terms which are acceptable to us, at such time.

Cash Flows

	September 30, 2015			September 30, 2014
	in thousands						Inc (Dec)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	33		$	(679	)	$	712
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(300	)	$	(423	)	$	123
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1,357		$	287		$	1,070

Operating Activities

Net cash related to operating activities increased $0.7 million from a decrease in cash of $(0.7) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015. The significant changes in cash flows used in operating activities is attributable to the net loss, increase in inventories, increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase in accounts receivable. Due to the seasonal nature of the harvest, our first fiscal quarter requires an increase in working capital which is not typically required in subsequent quarters of a given fiscal year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used related to investing activities increased $0.1 million from a decrease in cash of $(0.4) million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015  The changes in cash flows used in investing activities was attributable to an increase in property and equipment purchases which are primarily barrels used to age wine.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the net cash provided by financing activities of $0.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014. The significant change in cash flows provided by financing activities is attributable to proceeds from borrowings from an increased revolving line of credit.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Financing Agreements

Our primary sources of indebtedness are loans provided by our bank. Since June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to our loans or guarantees as disclosed in the “Notes to the Financial Statements – Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. We were in compliance in all material aspects with all covenants at September 30, 2015.

24

Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We maintain our cash with highly rated credit institutions. Although we try to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution, we do in the normal course of business maintain cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

Our accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables from customers. We review accounts receivable regularly and make estimates for an allowance when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. Our accounts receivable credit risk is not concentrated within any one geographic area or customer group. We believe our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and we have not experienced material charge offs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet risks related to foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

We lease a winery, tasting room facility, office space and certain office equipment. We enter into short and long-term contracts to supply a portion of our future grapes and bulk wine inventory requirements with third parties and related party growers. The following table presents future minimum inventory commitments as of September 30, 2015:

Years ending June 30,	Third Parties		Related Parties		Total
	(in thousands)
2016 (remaining nine months)	$	2,398	$	-	$	2,398
2017		1,040		479		1,519
2018		388		480		868
2019		191		273		464
Thereafter		-		-		-
Total	$	4,017	$	1,232	$	5,249

Our related party commitments were fulfilled during the first quarter of fiscal 2016; however, we may enter into new related party commitments in the ordinary course of business.

At September 30, 2015, total future purchase commitments for finished goods total approximately $3.7 million and are expected to be fulfilled during fiscal 2016 to 2017.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by inflation and changing prices. We intend to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices, subject to normal competitive conditions. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices effectively. In addition, we continue to identify on-going cost savings initiatives.

25

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03 - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.” This will have no impact on us.

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item.

26

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provide reasonable assurance, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent limitations: it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human or other failures. A control system also can be circumvented in various ways, including, without limitation, by collusion or improper management override. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, including, without limitation, unintentional errors or fraud. Because these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, it is possible to design and implement process safeguards to reduce such risk, however, such risk cannot be completely eliminated. As such, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all misstatements, including without limitation, unintentional errors and fraud.

27

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may be subject to various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.  Other than the matter discussed below, we are not aware of any current pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On October 21, 2015, H.D.D. LLC (“HDD”), the operating subsidiary of Truett Hurst, Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter from Hambrecht Wine Group, L.P. (the “Lessor”), the lessor of HDD’s winery and tasting room facility at 4035 Westside Road, Healdsburg, California, under a lease dated February 8, 2011 (the “Lease”), purporting to terminate the Lease effective as of that date, and rejecting HDD’s prior exercise of its election to extend for five years the original term of the Lease (which expires February 29, 2016). Lessor’s purported termination is based on purported defaults by HDD under provisions of the Lease relating to payment of rent and late charges (predicated on HDD’s withholding of approximately $33,000 in rent from several monthly rental payments in 2011, 2013 and 2014 due to a disagreement over the responsibility to provide water to the leased facility), the non-delivery by HDD of production reports and estimated production reports designed to determine whether additional rent was payable, and purported failure to comply with a provision of the Lease entitled “Assignment and Subletting.”

The Company intends to take all appropriate actions, including arbitration or litigation, to preserve its right to occupancy under the Lease for its full term, including the five year extension. No assurances can be made, however, that the Company will be successful in this effort. The loss of the lease could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes in information regarding our risk factors as described in Item 1A of our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Truett-Hurst, Inc. (“THI”) and its subsidiaries: H.D.D. LLC (“LLC”) and The Wine Spies, LLC (“Wine Spies”) (collectively, “we,” “Truett-Hurst” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with general instructions for quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. THI consolidates the financial results of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary. Such noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in the aforementioned subsidiaries that is not attributable to THI.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, and, in the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015.

Quantities or results referred to as “to date” or “as of this date” mean as of or to September 30, 2015, unless otherwise specifically noted. References to “FY” or “fiscal year” refer to our fiscal year ending on June 30^th of the designated year.

Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the discussion of our continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported consolidated results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03 -  Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.” This will have no impact on us.

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

NOTE 12 – TAXES

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of FY16 is 0% due to the company recording a full valuation allowance. In the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we had a tax benefit of $0.07 million against which we recorded a corresponding valuation allowance. The tax provision for the current year period is based on an estimate of our annualized income tax rate. Our effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact our subsidiaries operate as a limited liability company which is not subject to federal or state income tax.  Accordingly, a portion of our earnings are not subject to corporate level taxes. 

We had no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 and did not incur any income tax related interest expense or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 13 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION, SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Our primary reporting segments are identified by each distribution channel: wholesale, direct to consumer and internet. Wholesale sales include our retail exclusive brand label model and brands sold through the three-tier distribution system. Direct to consumer sales occur through our tasting rooms and wine clubs. Internet sales occur through Wine Spies and are principally comprised of brands not owned by us. Operating and other expenses are not allocated between operating segments; therefore, operating and net income information for the respective segments is not available. In addition, discreet financial information related to segment specific assets is not available. Sales and cost of sales are reported by segment.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

In February 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for a tasting room and winery.  The lease is for five years, commencing on March 1, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2016, and contains one option to extend for an additional period of five years.  On July 27, 2015 we exercised the option to extend our lease of the property through February 29, 2021. We have the right of first refusal in the event the lessor desires to sell the leased property.  Annual rent for the tasting room is $0.1 million, due monthly.  The winery rent is subject to adjustment based on the actual number of cases produced each year; however, future payments are based on a minimum number of cases, as specified in the agreement.  Beginning on September 1, 2012 and annually thereafter, tasting room and winery rent is increased by 3%.  Lease expense is accounted for on a straight-line basis.

See Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies, “Litigation”.

 

In October 2013, we entered into a lease agreement for administrative office space. The lease commenced on October 15, 2013 and ends on October 31, 2016, and contains three one-year renewal options with adjustment to market rents.

Rent payments for these facilities for each three-month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, totaled $0.1 million.

Future lease commitments are as follows:

Years ending June 30,
(in thousands)
2016 (remaining nine months)	$	253
2017		316
2018		310
2019		319
2020		329
Thereafter		225
Total future rent payments	$	1,752

Future lease commitments include rent payments for the tasting room and winery through the term of the lease ending February 2021.

 

Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt

Since June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to our credit facilities and our borrowings as disclosed in the “Notes to the Financial Statements – Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

The credit facilities, which mature on July 31, 2016, include (a) a revolving line of credit with a maximum commitment of $10.0 million which accrues interest at 2.25% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), (b) a capital equipment line with a maximum commitment of a $0.5 million which carries an interest rate of 2.25% above floating One-Month LIBOR, and (c) a foreign exchange facility with a maximum commitment of $0.1 million which allows to enter into any spot or forward transaction to purchase from or sell to our bank a foreign currency. We did not use the foreign exchange facility during the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.

The credit facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets. Availability is subject to a monthly borrowing base and compliance with certain covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current assets to current liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), a debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly) and a debt service coverage ratio (measured annually at our fiscal year end). The bank loans obtained on July 15, 2015 also include a minimum EBITDA covenant to be measured on December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016.

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

⁽⁵⁾ On November 30, 2014, we acquired the unrestricted use of the Stonegate trademark in exchange for a trademark release payment which is to be made over time and is accounted for as a note payable. The note payable has three equal installments: a) within five days of November 30, 2014, b) on October 31, 2015, and c) on July 31, 2016. The note does not accrue interest outstanding on the principal. An imputed interest rate of 5.5% was assessed under GAAP and the impact was considered immaterial.

⁽⁶⁾ Note payable to a bank, secured by equipment, payable monthly with principal and interest payments of $11,267, matures July 1, 2019; at 3.90% interest.

Production

We enter into various contracts with third party service providers for grape crushing and bottling. The costs are recorded in the period for which the service is provided. The actual costs related to custom crush services are based on volume. Our current contract for custom crush only covers the 2015 harvest. Our current bottling contract requires a minimum of 200,000 cases at $2.40 per case to be bottled in a one year period.

Guarantees

Since June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to our guarantees as disclosed in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be subject to various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than discussed below, we  are not aware of any current pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On October 21, 2015, H.D.D. LLC (“HDD”), the operating subsidiary of Truett Hurst, Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter from Hambrecht Wine Group, L.P. (the “Lessor”), the lessor of HDD’s winery and tasting room facility at 4035 Westside Road, Healdsburg, California, under a lease dated February 8, 2011 (the “Lease”), purporting to terminate the Lease effective as of that date, and rejecting HDD’s prior exercise of its election to extend for five years the original term of the Lease (which expires February 29, 2016). Lessor’s purported termination is based on purported defaults by HDD under provisions of the Lease relating to payment of rent and late charges (predicated on HDD’s withholding of approximately $33,000 in rent from several monthly rental payments in 2011, 2013 and 2014 due to a disagreement over the responsibility to provide water to the leased facility), the non-delivery by HDD of production reports and estimated production reports designed to determine whether additional rent was payable, and purported failure to comply with a provision of the Lease entitled “Assignment and Subletting.”

The Company intends to take all appropriate actions, including arbitration or litigation, to preserve its right to occupancy under the Lease for its full term, including the five year extension. No assurances can be made, however, that the Company will be successful in this effort. The loss of the lease could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Exchange Agreement

Prior to the completion of the IPO, we entered into an exchange agreement with the existing owners of the LLC, several of whom are directors and/or officers. Under the exchange agreement, each existing owner (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement), exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at our election. As a holder exchanges their LLC Units, our interest in the LLC will be correspondingly increased. During FY15, certain members exchanged 0.2 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange agreement. There were no exchanges of LLC units during the first quarter of FY16.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the LLC unit holders which provides for payment by the Company to the LLC unit holders who convert their units to shares, an amount equal to 90% of the amount of the benefit, if any, that are realized as a result of (i) increases in tax basis associated with the election effected under Section 754 of the Code, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Any payments under the tax receivable agreement will depend upon whether we have taxable income to utilize the benefit.

We will be required to pay the counterparties to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with current exchanges, future purchases or exchanges of LLC Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.

H.D.D. LLC intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC at the time of an exchange of LLC Units. As a result of these exchanges, Truett-Hurst, Inc. will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC. In addition, the purchase of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC that otherwise would not have been available.

Both this proportionate share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Truett-Hurst, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

We recorded deferred tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock during FY14 and FY15. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which represents 90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed TRA liability and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for $6.4 million as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted in corresponding adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.

There was no activity related to the Tax Receivable Agreement in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Indemnification

From time to time we enter into certain types of contracts that contingently require us to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties.  These contracts primarily relate to (i) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from our use of the applicable premises, (ii) certain agreements with our officers, directors, and employees, under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship, (iii) contracts under which we may be required to indemnify customers against third-party claims that our product infringes a patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and (iv) procurement or license agreements, under which we may be required to indemnify licensors or vendors for certain claims that may be brought against them arising from our acts or omissions with respect to the supplied products or technology.

Generally, a maximum obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated thus an estimate of this potential obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically, we have not been required to make payments under these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, for these obligations on our balance sheets.

	(in thousands, except share data)
Net loss attributable to Truett-Hurst, Inc.	$	(212)	$	(100)

Basic and dilutive Class A common share weighted average shares		4,027,183		3,750,472
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.05)	$	(0.03)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to us, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including convertible LLC units and equity incentive shares. The assumed exchange of 3.0 million LLC units for Class A common stock and the vesting of 0.6 million equity incentive shares have been excluded from the diluted loss per share because they are expected to have an anti-dilutive effect.

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in our earnings and therefore are not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

NOTE 8 – OUT OF DATE PRODUCT

In January 2015, we were notified by a large national retailer that inventory of Paper Boy product on their shelves had partially oxidized. Our terms of sale provide for limited return rights only in circumstances where products are not merchantable due to quality deficiencies. We determined that Paper Boy’s shelf life met quality specifications for the product, which are consistent with other similar products in the market, and, therefore, we did not have contractual obligation to accept returns of, or to replace, the product. However, on a one time basis we agreed to work with various impacted parties to remove the expired product.

Consistent with ASC-450, Contingencies, which outlines accounting and disclosure requirements for loss and gain contingencies, we established an accrual for the estimated probable loss associated with our role in dealing with the out-of-date product, net of recoveries.

Since December 31, 2014 when the accrual was established, we have processed return credits of approximately $0.06 against the accrual for sales returns leaving an outstanding balance of $0.5 as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

We have granted restricted stock awards and have the right to grant stock options and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and non-employees under our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. For a complete discussion of 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, please refer to Note 13 - Stock-based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the 2012 Plan has 0.4 million shares reserved for issuance and a total of 0.6 million granted equity incentive shares outstanding.

On February 4, 2013, we granted restricted stock to an independent contractor who serves as our Creative Director. The award vests over three years, and had a fair value at the date of grant of $0.9 million for a 5% interest in the LLC. We record the fair value and recognize the associated expense per FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees which defines the measurement date as the earlier of the date at which the commitment for performance is reached, or the date at which the performance is complete is the day that the fair value of the equity award is expensed. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards, to non-employees, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, and is subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vests. As of September 30, 2015, the stock was valued at $0.7 million, we have recognized $0.7 million in cumulative expense and further expense may not be recognized related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.35 years.

On December 9, 2013, we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vests over three years and has a fair value at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. As of December 31, 2014, we reduced the vesting term to two years to match the director’s term. We have recognized $0.03 million in cumulative expense. At September 30, 2015, we had $0.004 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.19 years.

On June 25, 2014, we granted stock options to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vests over four years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.4 million. We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period. The fair value of the stock options are recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and there was $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.74 years.

On June 25, 2014, we granted restricted stock units to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vest over four years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.4 million. The grant date fair value of RSU awards is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and there was $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.74 years.

On December 15, 2014, we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vest over one year and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.05 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the one - year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.04 million in cumulative expense and had $0.01 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.21 years.

On December 15, 2014, we granted 0.008 million shares of restricted stock to a director of our company which vest over three years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the three - year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.008 of cumulative expense and had $0.02 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.21 years.

On April 8, 2015, we granted 0.07 million shares of stock options to an officer of H.D.D. LLC which vests over 4 years and has a fair value at date of grant of $0.1 million. We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The fair value of the stock option is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. As of September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.02 million in cumulative expense and had $0.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.52 years.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities, which includes cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value based on prevailing interest rates and time to maturity.

In October 2012, we executed an interest rate swap obligation that was measured using observable inputs such as the LIBOR and Ten-year Treasury interest rates, and therefore has been categorized as Level 2. This derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument and has been recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of this instrument have been recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense). The following tables set forth our interest rate swap fair values at September 30, 2015 and at June 30, 2015:

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Truett-Hurst, Inc. (“THI”) and its subsidiaries: H.D.D. LLC (“LLC”) and The Wine Spies, LLC (“Wine Spies”) (collectively, “we,” “Truett-Hurst” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with general instructions for quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. THI consolidates the financial results of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in the LLC and its consolidated subsidiary. Such noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in the aforementioned subsidiaries that is not attributable to THI.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, and, in the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015.

Quantities or results referred to as “to date” or “as of this date” mean as of or to September 30, 2015, unless otherwise specifically noted. References to “FY” or “fiscal year” refer to our fiscal year ending on June 30^th of the designated year.

Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the discussion of our continuing operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 would be effective for us in this fiscal year, but it will have no impact.

In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03 -  Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.” This will have no impact on us.

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
