1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
General
Tattooed Chef, Inc. was originally incorporated in Delaware on May 4, 2018 under the name of Forum Merger II Corporation (“Forum”), as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more business.
On October 15, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Forum consummated the transactions contemplated within the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 11, 2020 as amended on August 10, 2020, (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Forum, Myjojo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Myjojo (Delaware)”), Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum (“Merger Sub”), and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative (the “Holder Representative”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Transaction”.
Upon the consummation of the Transaction, Merger Sub merged with and into Myjojo (Delaware) (the “Merger”), with Myjojo (Delaware) surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Immediately upon the completion of the Transaction, Myjojo (Delaware) became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Forum. In connection with the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), Forum changed its name to Tattooed Chef, Inc. (“Tattooed Chef”). Tattooed Chef’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “TTCF” on October 16, 2020.
Tattooed Chef, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”) are principally engaged in the manufacturing of plant-based foods including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy.
About Myjojo and Subsidiaries
Myjojo, Inc. was an S corporation formed under
the laws of California (“Myjojo (California)”) on February 26, 2019 to facilitate a corporate reorganization of Ittella International
Inc. On March 27, 2019, the sole stockholder of Ittella International, Inc. contributed all of his share ownership of Ittella International,
Inc. to Myjojo (California) in exchange for
Ittella International, Inc. was formed in California
as a tax pass-through entity and subsequently converted on April 10, 2019 to a limited liability company, Ittella International, LLC (“Ittella
International”). On April 15, 2019, UMB Capital Corporation (“UMB”), a financial institution, acquired a
Ittella’s Chef, Inc. was incorporated under
the laws of the State of California on July 20, 2017 as a qualified Subchapter S subsidiary and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ittella International.
Ittella’s Chef, Inc. was formed as a tax passthrough entity for purposes of holding Ittella International’s
On May 21, 2020, Myjojo (Delaware) was formed with Salvatore Galletti owning all of the shares of common stock. On May 27, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (California) merged into Myjojo, Inc., (Delaware) with Myjojo, Inc. (Delaware) issuing shares of common stock to the sole stockholder of Myjojo (California).
In connection with the Transaction and as a condition to the Closing, Myjojo (Delaware) entered into a Contribution Agreement with the minority members of Ittella International and the minority shareholders of Ittella Italy. Under the Contribution Agreement, the minority holders contributed all of their equity interests in Ittella International to Myjojo (Delaware) and Ittella Italy to Ittella’s Chef in exchange for Myjojo (Delaware) stock (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring was consummated prior to the Transaction. The shares of Myjojo (Delaware) were exchanged for shares of Forum’s common stock upon consummation of the Transaction.
Basis of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tattooed Chef and its subsidiaries in which Tattooed Chef has a controlling interest directly or indirectly, and variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
6
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed consolidated or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
The Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method, Forum was treated as the “acquired” company (“Accounting Acquiree”) and Myjojo (Delaware), the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued stock for the net assets of Forum, accompanied by a recapitalization.
The net assets of Forum are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization are those of Myjojo (Delaware). The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors.
The Company identified errors in its previously issued annual financial statements that were determined to be individually, and in the aggregate, quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial based on its analysis of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”. These immaterial errors have been corrected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The nature of these error corrections is as follows:
| ● | In further consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain settlement methods specific to the Private Placement Warrants precludes the Private Placement Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Private Placement Warrants should have been recorded as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value upon recognition on the Closing Date and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of change. Therefore, the Company concluded that it is appropriate to revise the classification of the Private Placement Warrants as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
| ● | The Company revised the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error related to the presentation of | |
| ● | The Company revised the accompanying consolidated statements of equity and operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error related to the grant of | |
| ● | The Company revised the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the period ended March 31, 2020 to reflect the correction of an immaterial error for amounts previously not reflected in the comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest. This revision has no impact on the Company’s net income, retained earnings, or earnings per share. |
7
| ● |
The Company identified errors related to inventoriable costs and the classification of certain expense accounts that primarily impacted revenue, cost of goods sold and operating expenses.
|
| ● | A presentation error to the prior quarter stockholders’ equity balance within the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was found. The common stock shares balance as of January 1, 2020 was improperly included in the cross-footing for the total of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020. | |
| ● | The Company identified a classification error between accounts receivable and deferred revenue, which affected the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. |

Reclassifications. Reclassifications of certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications have no impact on net income (loss) and do not relate to errors and are included here in order to conform the presentation across the periods presented.
Cash. The Company’s cash may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts.
Foreign Currency. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar for its U.S. entities. Ittella Italy’s functional currency is the Euro. Transactions in currency other than the functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each entity are included in the results of operations in income from operations as incurred.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Equity adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
The Company conducts business globally and is therefore exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the Euro to US dollar. To limit the exposure related to foreign currency changes, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts starting in 2020. The Company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes.
In February 2020, the Company entered into a trading
facility for derivative forward contracts. Under this facility, the Company has access to open foreign exchange forward contract instruments
to purchase a specific amount of funds in Euros and to settle, on an agreed-upon future date, in a corresponding amount of funds in United
States dollars. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts
to purchase
These derivatives are not designated as hedging
instruments. Gains and losses on the contracts are included in other income net, and substantially offset foreign exchange gains and losses
from the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities, such as purchases, receivables and payables, of
which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the reporting entity. These derivative instruments generally
have maturities of up to
Accounts Receivable. Trade receivables are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 7 to 45 days from the invoice date. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.
Inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials and packaging materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a weighted average basis. Inventory is initially measured at cost and consists of the sum of the applicable expenditures and charges directly and indirectly incurred to bring products to their existing condition and location. These costs include purchase costs and any other charges necessary to prepare the items for production. For work in process and finished goods, these costs normally include those incurred directly or indirectly in the production of inventory (i.e., direct labor and production overheads or conversion costs), and other expenses (i.e., inbound freight, transportation and handling charges, taxes and duties).
Overhead costs are allocated to the units produced within the reporting period, while abnormal costs are charged to current operations as incurred. The Company monitors the remaining utility of its inventory and writes down inventory for excess or obsolescence as appropriate.
12
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property,
plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets within an asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such asset groups are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is based upon their fair value. No impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or transferred for a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and certain notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Long-term debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates its fair value as the interest rates are indexed to market rates. The Company categorizes the inputs to the fair value measurements into three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
| Level 1 - | Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and can reference interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads. | |
| Level 3 - | Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. |
Warrants. The Public Warrants are considered freestanding equity-classified instruments due to their detachable and separately exercisable features and meet the indexation criteria in ASC 815-40-15-7C. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are presented as a component of Stockholders’ Equity in accordance with ASC 815-40-25. The Agreements with respect to the Company’s Private Placement Warrants include provisions related to determining settlement amounts that preclude the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As these Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815-40, the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (on the Closing date) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The Company’s principal business is the manufacturing of plant-based foods including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the United States and Italy. Revenue recognition is determined by (a) identifying the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (b) identifying the performance obligation in each contract; (c) determining the transaction price; and (d) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in each contract; and (e) recognizing revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services. Each unit of product delivered is determined as a separate performance obligation and in the event there are more than one unit of a product ordered, there will be multiple performance obligations satisfied under the same contract. When control of the promised products and services are transferred to the Company’s customers, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for these products and services.
Control generally transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in the Company’s contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.
The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to its customers – private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through a third-party vendor and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions.
13
Some contracts also include some form of variable consideration, the most common form are discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, the Company uses either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.
The Company does not have significant unbilled receivable balances arising from transactions with customers. The Company does not capitalize contract inception costs as contracts are one year or less and the Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization.
The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs related to products transferred to the end customer as fulfillment cost and includes these costs in cost of goods sold upon delivery of the product to the customer.
Sales and Marketing Expenses (As Restated).
The Company expenses costs associated with sales and marketing as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses were $
Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest primarily related to the amortization of deferred financing costs, the Company’s notes payable and line of credit.
Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing
costs include fees associated with the Company’s line of credit agreement. Such fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the related line of credit agreement as a component of interest expense, which approximates the effective interest rate method,
in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Deferred financing costs, net were $
Stock-based Compensation. The Company measures compensation expense for stock options and other stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Generally, the Company issues stock options and other stock awards to employees with service-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. For awards with only service-based vesting conditions, the Company records compensation cost for these awards using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a tranche-by-tranche basis (the accelerated attribution method) over the expected service period.
Under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, the Company measures stock-based awards granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the award on the date on which the related service is completed. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which services are rendered by non-employees until service is completed.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business, in accordance with the Income Tax Topic 740 of the ASC (“ASC 740”). The Company computes its annual tax rate based on the statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to it in the various jurisdictions in which it earns income. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include the Company’s forecast of the reversal of temporary differences, future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings. Based on our assessment, it appears more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must first be determined to be more likely to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, and if so, then measured to be the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payment, accruals, or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. See Note 13 for more information on the Company’s accounting for income taxes.
14
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income consisted of gains and losses associated with changes in foreign currency as a result of the translation of the financial results of the Company’s Italian subsidiary.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk (As Restated). The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to customers primarily in the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in this geographical area. No external suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold during the period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

COVID-19 Pandemic – The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was categorized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020, continues to significantly impact the United States and the rest of the world and has altered the Company’s business environment and the overall working conditions.
Despite partial remote working conditions, the Company’s business activities have continued to operate with minimal interruptions.
Management acknowledges the pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s suppliers and could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources most of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events (including the pandemic) generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. If the Company is unable to manage its supply chain effectively and ensure that its products are available to meet consumer demand, operating costs could increase, and sales and profit margins could decrease.
15
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Programs that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company has elected not to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has analyzed the provisions of the CARES Act and determined it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The extent to which this pandemic will adversely impact the Company’s future business, financial condition and results of operations is dependent upon various factors, many of which are highly uncertain and outside the control of the Company.
Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period includes common stock but is exclusive of certain unvested stock awards that have no economic or participating rights. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards under the Company’s equity incentive plan and warrants have been considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (As restated for the adoption of ASC 842)
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021, the first day of the reporting year. One of the amendments eliminates a limitation on the amount of income tax benefit that can be recognized in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2021.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) regarding ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The amendments will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility is calculated based upon LIBOR. ASU 2020-04. was issued on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. This guidance has had no material effect on the Company for the period ended March 31, 2021. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact this guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted in annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
16
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “Topic 842”). The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. New disclosure requirements included qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with adjustments to the earliest comparative period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements to ASC 842,” which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 as the date of initial application, which the Company elected. As the Company will lose EGC status as of December 31, 2021, the Company was required to apply the provisions of ASU 2016-02 beginning with the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2021 with an effective date as of January 1, 2021. Accordingly, these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of Topic 842. See Note 11.
3. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
On April 15, 2019, UMB contributed $6.00 million to acquire 6,000 units for a 12.5% ownership interest in Ittella International. The Company incurred issuance costs of $0.13 million resulting in net consideration received of $5.87 million.
Per the terms of Ittella International’s
operating agreement, UMB was provided with a put right which may cause Ittella International to purchase all, but not less than all of
UMB units upon notice (“Put Notice”). UMB could have provided the Put Notice to Ittella International at any time for any
reason after April 15, 2024. If Ittella International did not accept the price proposed in the Put Notice, the consideration to be paid
by Ittella International to UMB for the units that were the subject of the Put Notice will be the fair market value of the units as established
by a third party appraisal, subject to a floor for the fair value at
The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest was initially measured at fair value, which has been determined by the Company to equal the consideration received from UMB, net of transaction costs.
The Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest was not redeemable until April 2024; however, it was probable of becoming redeemable with the passage of time. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest at each reporting date was determined as the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income and other comprehensive income, or (2) the redemption value, which was determined to be fair value per the terms of Ittella International’s operating agreement above. In determining the measurement method of redemption value, the Company elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date (i.e. April 2024) of the instrument using the effective interest method. Changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates. Redemption value was determined using a combination of the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the Company estimated fair value based on market multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies. Under the income approach, the Company measured fair value based on a projected cash flow method using a discount rate determined by its Management which is commensurate with the risk inherent in its current business model.
There were no Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Changes in the carrying value of the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2020:
| Amount | ||||
| Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest as of January 1, 2020 | $ | |||
| Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest | ||||
| Accretion to redeemable noncontrolling interest | ||||

All redeemable noncontrolling interest classified
as mezzanine equity were reclassified to permanent equity in connection with the contribution of UMB’s

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Nature of Revenues
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consist of the sale of plant-based foods including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza in the United States and is recognized at a point in time in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Each unit of food product sold to the customer is the performance obligation. Revenue from the sale of frozen food products is recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, which is upon shipment to the customer.
The Company disaggregates revenue based on the type of products sold to its customers – private label, Tattooed Chef and other. The other revenue stream constitutes sale of similar food products directly to customers through third-party vendors and the Company acts as a principal in these transactions. All sales are recorded within revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company does not have any contract assets or contract liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Revenue streams for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (As Restated) and 2020 were as follows:

Significant Judgments
Generally, the Company’s contracts with customers comprise a written quote and customer purchase order or statement of work and are governed by the Company’s trade terms and conditions. In certain instances, it may be further supplemented by separate pricing agreements. All products are sold on a standalone basis; therefore, when more than one product is included in a purchase order, the Company has observable evidence of stand-alone selling price. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 7 to 45 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. Product returns are not significant. The contracts with customers do not include any additional performance obligations related to warranties and material rights.
From time to time, the Company may offer incentives to its customers considered to be variable consideration including discounts and demonstration costs. Customer incentives considered to be variable consideration are recorded as a reduction to revenue as part of the transaction price based on the agreement at the time of the transaction. Customer incentives are allocated entirely to the single performance obligation of transferring product to the customer.
5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET
Accounts receivables are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. All of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in the United States. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors, including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.
The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers regularly and based on its analysis, the Company has determined an allowance for doubtful receivables is not necessary as of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company writes off accounts receivable whenever they become uncollectible, and any payments subsequently received on such receivables are recorded as bad debt recoveries in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities such as foreign currency inventory purchases, receivables and payables. The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s derivatives expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the arrangement. The Company does, however, seek to mitigate such risks by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. Management does not expect material losses as a result of defaults by counterparties.

Warrant Liabilities
The Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception (“initial measurement”), which is at the Closing date, and on a recurring basis (“subsequent remeasurement”), with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Initial Measurement
The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value on October 15, 2020, the Closing date.
Subsequent Measurement
At each reporting period or upon exercise of the
Warrants, the Company remeasures the Private Placement Warrants at their fair values with the change in fair value reported to current
operations within the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, change in the fair value
of the warrant liabilities charged to current operations amounted to $
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants
was determined to be $10.16 per Warrant as of March 31, 2021 using Monte Carlo simulations and using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte
Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from its traded warrants and historical
volatility of select peers’ common stock with similar expected term of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield on the grant date with a maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the warrants. The expected
term of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate,
which the Company estimated to remain at

11. LEASES
As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s primary leasing activities were related to office space, production and storage facilities and certain Company vehicles and equipment.
Significant assumptions and judgments were made in the application of GAAP for leases, including those related to the lease discount rate. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, when the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms of the lease payments at commencement date, and in similar economic environments.
Upon adoption, ASC 842, Leases had an impact in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and in its consolidated statement of operations. As part of the transition, the Company elected the following practical expedients:
| ● | Package of practical expedients which eliminates the need to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases. |
| ● | The practical expedient whereby the lease and non-lease components will not be separated for all classes of assets. |
| ● | Not to recognize ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities with a lease term of 12 months or less from the lease commencement date for all class of assets. |
For existing leases, the Company did not elect the use of hindsight and did not reassess lease term upon adoption. The Company leases office and manufacturing facilities, equipment and vehicles under various operating arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods. The Company recognizes lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease from the time that the Company controls the leased property.
The Company adjusted the adoption date opening ROU asset balance by

| March 31, | March 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Income tax (benefit) expense | ( | ) | ||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | ||||||
The income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to federal, state and foreign income tax expenses attributable to federal and state tax benefits on the Company’s U.S. loss as a C-corporation, offset by foreign income tax expenses on the Company’s foreign income in Italy.
The income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to state and foreign income taxes.
The Company also believes that quarterly effective tax rates will vary from the fiscal 2021 effective tax rate as a result of recognizing the income tax effects of items that the Company cannot anticipate such as the changes in tax laws, tax amounts associated with foreign earnings at rates different from the United States federal statutory rate, the tax impact of stock-based compensation. The Company’s foreign earnings on Italian operations are subject to foreign taxes applicable to its income derived in Italy. These taxes include income tax.
As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company had no open tax examinations by any taxing jurisdiction in which it operates. The taxing authorities of the most significant jurisdictions are the United States Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board and the Agenzia delle Entrate. The statute of limitations for which the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination are as follows: Federal 2017-2020, California 2016-2020, and Italy 2016-2020.

The revolving line of credit bears interest at the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the daily Prime Rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 2%; and (ii) 1%.
The revolving line of credit has an arrangement associated with it wherein all collections from collateralized receivables are deposited into a collection account and applied to the outstanding balance of the line of credit on a daily basis. The funds in the collection account are earmarked for payment towards the outstanding line of credit and given the Company’s obligation to pay off the outstanding balance on a daily basis, the balance is classified as a current liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Warrants
In connection with Forum’s IPO and issuance of Private Placement Units in August 2018, Forum issued Units consisting of Common Stock with attached warrants as follows:
| 1. | Public Warrants – Forum issued |
| 2. |
Each Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrant
(together, the “Warrants”) entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $
The Public Warrants contain a redemption feature that provides the Company the option to call the Public Warrants for redemption 30 days after notice to the holder when any of conditions described in the following paragraph is met, and to require that any Public Warrant holder who desires to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the redemption date do so on a “cashless basis,” by converting each Public Warrant for an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, determined by dividing (i) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market Value”, and (ii) the Fair Market Value (defined as the average last sale price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Public Warrants).
The Public Warrants become exercisable upon occurrence
of certain events (trigger events), including the completion of the Transaction.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor, an Underwriter, or any of their Permitted Transferees, the Private Placement Warrants: (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis; (ii) may not be transferred, assigned, or sold 30 days after the completion of a defined Business Combination except to a Permitted Transferee who enters into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions, and (iii) are not redeemable by the Company.
A Warrant may be exercised only during the “Exercise
Period” commencing on the later of:

The Public Warrants are considered freestanding equity-classified instruments due to their detachable and separately exercisable features. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are presented as a component of Stockholders’ Equity in accordance with ASC 815-40-25.
As discussed in Note 10, the Private Placement Warrants are considered freestanding liability-classified instruments under ASC 815-40-25.

the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the three ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded
in the aggregate $
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| Equity volatility | % | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Expected term (in years) | ||||
| Expected dividend |
Expected term—This represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based upon expected exercise and expected post-vesting termination.
Risk-free interest rate—The assumption is based upon the observed U.S. treasury rate appropriate for the expected life of the employee stock options.
Expected volatility—The expected volatility assumption is based upon the weighted-average historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant based on the contractual term of the awards, adjusted for activity which is not expected to occur in the future. Dividend yield—The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.
Any option granted under the Plan may include tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”). SAR may also be awarded to eligible persons independent of any option. The strike price for common share for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the fair value of the shares determined as of the date of grant.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) are convertible into shares of Company common stock upon vesting on a one-to-one basis. Restricted stock has the same rights as other issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock except they are not entitled to dividends until the awards vest. Restrictions also limit the sale or transfer of the same during the vesting period. Any unvested portion of the Restricted Stock and RSUs shall be terminated and forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the grantee.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Based on the assessment by management together with the independent assessment from its local legal counsel, the Company believes that a loss is currently not probable and an estimate cannot be made. Therefore, no accrual has been made as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

19. CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
The Company concluded that it has a variable interest in Properties on the basis that Ittella International guarantees the loan for Properties and substantially all of Properties’ transactions occur with the Ittella International. Thus, Properties’ equity at risk is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support from Ittella International, and, therefore, Properties is considered a VIE.
The results of operations and cash flows of Properties
are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and

Overview
We are a rapidly growing plant-based food company offering a broad portfolio of innovative frozen foods. We supply plant-based products to leading retailers in the United States, with signature products such as ready-to-cook bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, acai and smoothie bowls, and cauliflower crust pizza. Our products are available both in private label and our “Tattooed Chef™” brand in the frozen food section of retail food stores.
Results of Operations (As Restated)
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $8.24 million, which included stock compensation expenses of $3.19 million, marketing expenses of $2.65 million, and promotional expenses of $1.93 million compared to net income of $5.82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which included marketing expenses of $0.03 million and nil of stock compensation expenses and promotional expenses. The decrease is primarily due to the significant increase in operating expenses.
Revenue increased by $19.30 million, or 58.2%, to $52.47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $33.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in revenue is primarily due to growth in sales of our “Tattooed Chef” branded products. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had $35.85 million of sales of “Tattooed Chef” branded products compared to $17.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Cost of goods sold increased by $21.25 million, or 88.4%, to $45.29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $24.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary reason for the increase is the increase in volume of product sold which accounts for an estimated $14.08 million of the increase. The remaining $7.17 million is attributable to increases in freight (inbound and outbound), cold storage expenses, fulfillment expenses, investment in facility improvements and personal protective equipment. These expenses have increased due to inflation.
Gross profit decreased by $1.96 million, or 21.4%, to $7.18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $9.14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is due to the increases in cost of goods sold noted previously.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 13.7%, as compared to 27.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is due to the increases in costs of goods sold noted previously.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $11.84 million, or 501.5%, to $14.20 million, compared to $2.36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to increased costs of operating as a public company, non-cash stock compensation, and additional marketing and promotional expenses that were not present in the three months ended March 31, 2020. We expect operating expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as many relatively fixed operating expenses will be spread over increasing revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to positive $6.97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to public company costs that were not present in the three months ended March 31, 2020, and to $4.58 million in marketing and promotional expenses to invest in the future of our Tattooed Chef brand. The benefits from these expenditures are expected be realized in both the near and distant future through brand expansions in revenue and distribution.
35
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in operating results, and provide additional insight on how the management team evaluates the business. Our management team uses Adjusted EBITDA to make operating and strategic decisions, evaluate performance and comply with indebtedness related reporting requirements. Below are details on this non-GAAP measure and the non-GAAP adjustments that the management team makes in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments generally fall within the categories of non-cash items, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, financing related costs and operating costs of a non-recurring nature. We believe this non-GAAP measure should be considered along with net income, the most closely related GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations between Adjusted EBITDA and net income are below, and discussion regarding underlying GAAP results throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As new events or circumstances arise, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definition and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.
We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA further adjust EBITDA by adding back non-cash compensation expenses, non-recurring expenses, and other non-operational charges. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the readers of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in the evaluation of our operating performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (As Restated) and three months ended March 31, 2020:

We negotiate different prices at our different club and retail customers based on product quantity and packaging configuration. At this time, we do not expect to adjust product prices from the current levels. However, we do acknowledge that competitive pressures, such as the introduction of additional plant-based products by our competitors, may require us to lower prices, increase marketing and advertising expenditures, or increase the use of discounting or promotional campaigns, each of which may affect its margins, operating results or profitability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, we had $185.16 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this filing.
36
Indebtedness
We have a line of credit that provides for borrowings up to (a) 90% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivables; plus, (b) the least of (i) the sum of: (A) 50% of the net amount of eligible inventory; plus (B) 45% of the net amount of eligible in-transit inventory; (ii) $10.0 million; or (iii) 50% of the aggregate amount of revolving loans outstanding, minus (C) the sum of all reserves. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit bear interest at the sum of (i) the higher of the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 2.0% and (ii) 1%. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was less than $0.1 million and the borrowing base was the full $25.0 million. The line of credit is secured by our inventory and accounts receivable and a first position lien on all our assets. In July 2018, we exercised an option within this line of credit to enter into a promissory note with the same financial institution in the amount of $1.0 million. The note accrues interest at the sum of (i) the higher of the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 2.0% and (ii) 1.5% and has a maturity date of May 2021. The note is secured by substantially all of our assets.
A letter of credit in the approximate amount of 445,000 Euros was outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The letter of credit was issued to guarantee the Italian facility lease.
Liquidity
We generally fund our short- and long-term liquidity needs through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and available borrowings under our line of credit (See “— Indebtedness” above). Our management regularly reviews certain liquidity measures to monitor performance.
Cash Flows
The following section presents the major components of net cash flows from and used in operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2020:
Operating Activities (As Restated)
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operations was $17.57 million, driven in part by the net loss of $8.24 million, adjusted for non-cash items which included stock compensation expense of $3.19 million, unrealized forward contract loss of $2.18 million, net change in deferred taxes of $1.75 million, depreciation expense of $0.55 million, warrant liability revaluation gain of $0.32 million, and bad debt expense of $0.12 million. Expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to marketing expenses and promotional expenses mentioned above to build the Tattooed Chef brand and increase awareness of the products on the shelf to further drive revenue. Working capital usage has also increased largely due to a $13.01 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased revenue, a $7.33 million increase in prepaid expenses mainly due to the increase in prepaid advertising expenses, a $0.98 million increase in inventory, and offset by a $7.99 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we realized net income of $5.82 million. Net cash used in operating activities was negligible at $0.01 million due to a $5.62 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of increased revenue and a $4.63 million increase in inventory to meet anticipated growth in sales, partially offset by a $3.68 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During this period, non-cash items included depreciation expense of $0.19 million related to capital expenditures to build new lines in the Italy facility, as well as additional freezer space in the California facility. There were capital expenditures to build new lines in the Italy facility, as well as additional freezer space in the California facility.
We anticipate that our depreciation and amortization expense will increase for the balance of 2021 and for future periods based on capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment made in 2019 and 2020, and expected capital expenditures to expand production capabilities in both the Italy and California facilities. We also anticipate increases in stock-based compensation as we make equity grants to certain key employees, members of our management team and our Board of Directors.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities relates to capital expenditures to support growth and investment in property, plant and equipment to expand production capacity, tenant improvements, and to a lesser extent, replacement of existing equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $2.85 million as compared to $1.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash used in both periods consisted primarily of capital expenditures to improve efficiency and output from our current facilities.
37
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $73.50 million, primarily from warrant exercises.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.51 million primarily attributable to a $4.30 million increase in borrowings under the credit facility to support working capital requirements to fund growth.
Off-balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than immaterial supplier contracts with growers in Italy to ensure that product is available to fulfill demand.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Valuation of Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares
We recognized and measured the contingent amounts associated with the Holdback Shares and Sponsor Earnout Shares at fair value as of the Closing date of $120.35 million and $0, respectively, using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. These measures are based upon significant inputs that are not observable by the market and are therefore considered to be Level 3 inputs. Refer to Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for discussion related to the measurement and recognition.
Revenue Recognition
We sell plant-based meals and snacks including, but not limited to, acai and smoothie bowls, zucchini spirals, riced cauliflower, vegetable bowls and cauliflower crust pizza primarily in the U.S. and Italy. All of our revenue relates to contracts with customers. Our accounting contracts are from purchase orders or purchase orders combined with purchase contracts. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.
Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts and demonstration costs. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We review and update our estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.
38
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at invoiced amounts. We extend credit to our customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on our assessment of known delinquent accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence of the collectability and the aging of accounts receivable. Although management believes the current allowance is sufficient to cover existing exposures, there can be no assurance against the deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or against defaults that are higher than what has been experienced historically.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets
We establish an income tax valuation allowance when available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider the amounts and timing of expected future deductions or carryforwards and sources of taxable income that may enable utilization. We maintain an existing valuation allowance until enough positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in the amount or timing of expected future deductions or taxable income may have a material impact on the level of income tax valuation allowances. Our assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets requires judgment about its future results. Inherent in this estimation is the requirement for us to estimate future book and taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. These estimates require us to exercise judgment about our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic environment in which it does business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustments to the allowance. Adjustments to the allowance would affect future net income.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with our private placements in accordance with ASC 815, whereby the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as liabilities as they do not meet the criteria for an equity classification. As the Private Placement Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, they are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we identified five material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
39
The first material weakness is related to the lack of design or maintenance of an effective control environment commensurate with financial reporting requirements and lack of a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the appropriate level of experience and training.
The second material weakness is related to a lack of design and maintenance of formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, and monitoring controls maintained at the corporate level which are at a sufficient level of precision to provide for the appropriate level of oversight of activities related to our internal control over financial reporting.
The third material weakness is related to lack of implementation and maintenance of appropriate information technology general controls, including controls over data center and network operations, system software acquisition, change and maintenance, program changes, access security and application system acquisition, development, and maintenance.
The fourth material weakness is related to a lack of design and maintenance of effective controls over segregation of duties with respect to the preparation and review of account reconciliations as well as the creation and posting of manual journal entries.
The fifth material weakness relates to the lack of design and maintenance of formal accounting policies, processes and controls to analyze, account for and disclose complex transactions.
We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal controls measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses. Our efforts include a number of actions:
| ● | We hired qualified staff and outside resources to segregate key functions within our financial and information technology processes supporting our internal controls over financial reporting. |
| ● | We developed internal controls documentation, including comprehensive accounting policies and procedures and designed, implemented, and tested new controls over key financial processes. |
While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), 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 judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described above.
However, after giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, and the additional analyses and other procedures that we performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than described above in this Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K, as updated and supplemented below and in subsequent filings. These risk factors could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Additional factors and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Prolonged inflation could result in higher costs and decreased margins and earnings.
A majority of our products are manufactured and sold inside of the United States, which increases our exposure to, among other things, domestic inflation and fuel price increases. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages, and other costs to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations unless freight rates correspondingly increase. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operation.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
None.
