CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in addition to historical information. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Report that address activities, events, or developments with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, or economic performance that we expect, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future, or that address plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. You can typically identify forward-looking statements by the use of words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “assume,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” and other similar words. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. We cannot assure you that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Forward-looking statements and our performance inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, suppliers, consumers, customers, and employees;

•disruptions or inefficiencies in the supply chain;

•dependence on third-party vendors and on sales to major customers;

•a continued shift in the retail market from food and drug stores to mass merchandisers, club stores, dollar stores, e-commerce retailers, and subscription services;

•competition from large consumer products companies in the United States;

•competitive factors, including any decrease in distribution of (i.e., retail stores carrying) our significant products;

•new competitive products and/or technological changes;

•the need for effective advertising of our products and limited resources available for such advertising;

•unfavorable economic conditions;

•changing consumer preferences and the continued acceptance of each of our significant products in the marketplace;

•the degree of success of any new product or product line introduction by us;

•the degree of success of the integration of product lines or businesses we may acquire;

•changes in the regulation of our products, including applicable environmental, U.S. and international Food and Drug Administration regulations and process-audit compliance;

•the loss of any executive officer or other personnel;

•future losses which could affect our liquidity;

•the risk that we may not be able to remediate the existing material weakness related to our finance department lacking a sufficient number of trained professionals with technical accounting expertise to process and account for complex, non-routine transactions in accordance with GAAP and develop and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting;

•other matters discussed in this Report, including the risks described in the Risk Factors section of this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Report speak as of the filing date of this Report. Although we may from time to time voluntarily update our prior forward-looking statements, we undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this Report.

SCOTT’S LIQUID GOLD-INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Company Background

Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc., a Colorado corporation was incorporated on February 15, 1954. Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) develop, market and sell high quality products. Our business is comprised of two segments: household products and health and beauty care products.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Alpha® Skin Care brand (the "Alpha Purchase Agreement"). The transactions contemplated by the Alpha Purchase Agreement are subject to customary conditions and closing deliveries by both Neoteric and the Alpha Buyer. The assets of Alpha® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Alpha product line was previously classified under our health and beauty care products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the BIZ® brand. The assets of BIZ® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. The BIZ® product line was previously classified under our household products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

On January 23, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Scott's Liquid Gold® brand, including the Wood Care and Floor Restore products. We have reflected the operations of the Scott's Liquid Gold® brand as discontinued operations for all periods presented, which was previously classified under our household products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Prell® product line. We have reflected the operations of the Prell® product line as discontinued operations for all periods presented, which was previously classified under our health and beauty care products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

(c) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Report have been prepared by the Company. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2023 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year and are unaudited. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

6

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the realization of deferred tax assets, reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventory, customer returns and allowances, intangible asset useful lives and amortization method, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

(e) Inventories Valuation and Reserves

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We estimate an inventory reserve, which is generally not material to our financial statements, for slow moving and obsolete products and raw materials based upon, among other things, an assessment of historical and anticipated sales of our products. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Our remaining raw materials balance is to be sold to contract manufacturing partners based on production demand.

(f) Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated or amortized. Fair value is determined based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was reclassified as held for sale. Disposal groups that meet the discontinued operations criteria by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45 are classified as discontinued operations and are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

(g) Leases

Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

Certain nonlease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, are included in the valuation of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are not material to our financial statements, are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements with lease and nonlease components are combined as a single lease component.

(h) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives, such as trade names, and formulas, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is included in Operating Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Internal-use software costs recognized as an intangible asset relates to capitalizable costs of computer software obtained for internal-use as defined by ASC 350-40-30-1. All other internal-use software costs are expensed as incurred by the Company. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the software once the software is ready for its intended use and placed into service. In the second quarter of 2022, our internal-use software was implemented for its intended use. The estimated useful life for internal-use software is five years and will be periodically reassessed based on considerations for obsolescence, technology, competition, and other economic factors.

7

(i) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash balances in the form of bank demand deposits with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. Historically, we have maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is generally not material to our financial statements, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. We have no significant financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign currency hedging arrangements.

The recorded amounts for cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

(j) Income Taxes

Income taxes reflect the tax effects of transactions reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. 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.

Taxes are reported based on tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not standard and that are measured at the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Differences between financial and tax reporting which do not meet this threshold are required to be recorded as unrecognized tax benefits or expense. We classify penalty and interest expense related to income tax liabilities as an income tax expense. There are no significant interest and penalties recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to valuation allowance. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 0.1% and 0.0% respectively.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, and permanent differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to realize deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

(k) Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until it is met. When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Our revenue contracts are identified when purchase orders are received and accepted from customers and represent a single performance obligation to sell our products to a customer.

Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include products shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration. Variable consideration includes estimates for expected customer allowances, promotional programs for consumers, and sales returns. Based on our customer-by-customer history, our variable consideration estimates are generally accurate and subsequent adjustments are generally immaterial.

8

Variable consideration is primarily comprised of customer allowances. Customer allowances primarily include reserves for trade promotions to support price features, displays, slotting fees, and other merchandising of our products to our customers. Promotional programs for consumers primarily include coupons, rebates, and certain other promotional programs, and do not represent a significant portion of variable consideration. The costs of both customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are estimated using either the expected value or most likely amount approach, depending on the nature of the allowance, using all reasonably available information, including our historical experience and current expectations. Customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are reflected in the transaction price when sales are recorded. We may adjust our estimates based on actual results and consideration of other factors that cause allowances. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Sales returns are generally not material to our financial statements, and do not comprise a significant portion of variable consideration. Estimates for sales returns are based on, among other things, an assessment of historical trends, information from customers, and anticipated returns related to current sales activity. These estimates are established in the period of sale and reduce our revenue in that period.

Sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.

We have also established an allowance for doubtful accounts. We estimate this allowance based upon, among other things, an assessment of the credit risk of specific customers and historical trends. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb any losses which may arise. In the event that actual losses differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Customer allowances for trade promotions and allowance for doubtful accounts are included in net accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were as follows:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Trade promotions	$	141	$	361
Allowance for doubtful accounts		36		59
	$	177	$	420

(l) Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as incurred.

(m) Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We determine the estimated grant-date fair value of stock options with only service conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including the estimated fair value of underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. We recognize compensation costs ratably over the vesting period using the straight-line method, which approximates the service period.

The Company issues restricted stock unit ("RSUs") awards with restrictions that lapse upon the passage of time (service vesting) and satisfaction of market conditions targeted to our Company’s stock price. For those RSU awards with only service vesting, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with both market and service conditions, the Company starts recognizing compensation cost over the requisite service period, with the effect of the market conditions reflected in the calculation of the award's fair value at grant date. The Company values awards with only service vesting requirements based on the grant date share price. The Company values awards with market and service conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company determines the requisite service period for awards with both market and service conditions based on the longer of the explicit service period and the derived service period. Stock awards that contain market vesting conditions are included in the computations of diluted EPS reflecting the average number of shares that would be issued based on the highest 30-day average market price during the reporting periods, if their effect is dilutive. If the condition is based on an average of market prices over some period of time, the corresponding average for the period is used.

(n) Operating Costs and Expenses Classification

Cost of sales includes costs associated with manufacturing and distribution including labor, materials, freight-in, purchasing and receiving, quality control, repairs, maintenance, and other indirect costs, as well as warehousing and distribution costs. We classify freight-out as selling expenses. Other selling expenses consist primarily of costs for sales and sales support personnel, brokerage commissions, and promotional costs. Freight-out costs included in selling expenses totaled $112 and $158 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and totaled $199 and $461 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits associated with management and administrative support departments, business insurance costs, professional fees, office facility related expenses, and other general support costs.

(o) Supplier Finance Programs

During 2022, we entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution and an agreement with an insurance agency which allows us to obtain extended payment terms for our insurance policies. The insurance policies can be canceled by the Company at any time with 10 days’ notice. The financial institution may cancel this agreement after providing 10 days’ notice if the Company does not pay any installment payment according to the terms of the agreement. We do not provide any forms of guarantees under these agreements. Payments of our obligations are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Outstanding confirmed amounts are $73 and $218 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which will be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as payments are due.

Note 2. Liquidity

Primarily due to a decline in net sales, disruption of our international sales to China, and increases in costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products, the Company has sustained significant losses from operations in several reporting periods since 2019. Absent any other action, the Company previously believed it would require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next 12 months.

Due to the sales of our BIZ® and Alpha® brands as disclosed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which generated $3,700 of cash in July and August 2023, we have fully repaid all long-term debt as of July 2023. While, absent any other actions, our operating activities are still expected to result in negative cash flows, we now expect to have enough liquidity to finance operations for the next 12 months. Management has recently implemented actions to reduce the Company’s operating expenses through asset sales, consolidation of vendors, and personnel reductions. To further reduce operating losses, the Company is considering additional various strategic actions including asset sales, obtaining additional debt or equity financing (potentially in conjunction with acquisitions), workforce reduction, deferring or eliminating certain capital expenditures, and further reduction of other operating expenses to ensure alignment with customer demand in order to address long-term liquidity needs and pursue its business plan. The Company expects that these strategic actions will further reduce expenses and provide required liquidity for ongoing operations.

Note 3. Divestitures

Alpha® Skin Care

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Alpha® Skin Care brand. The transactions contemplated by the Alpha® Purchase Agreement were subject to customary conditions and closing deliveries by both the Company and the buyer and was consummated on July 31, 2023. The Company received payments of $2,500 and $200 in July 2023 and August 2023, respectively, representing total consideration for the sale of the Alpha Skin Care brand in the amount of $2,700 and an estimated gain on the sale of assets of $1,585 that will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023. The assets of Alpha® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

BIZ®

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the BIZ® brand. The transactions contemplated by the BIZ® Purchase Agreement were consummated on July 7, 2023. The total consideration paid to us was $1,000, plus an amount equal to the value of the BIZ® inventory, valued at $946 as of the effective date of the agreement, subject to post-close adjustment. The estimated gain on the sale of assets is $787 and will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023. The assets of BIZ® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Scott's Liquid Gold Wood® Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore

On January 23, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Scott's Liquid Gold® Wood Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore product lines. The total consideration paid to us was $800, plus an amount equal to the value of the Scott's Liquid Gold® Wood Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore inventory of $1,136, subject to post-close adjustment. Additionally, the buyer will pay a royalty equal to 2% of gross sales for two years after the closing date (the "Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty"). The Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty resulted in recognition of a gain upon the sale of assets. Because the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty is variable consideration and is contingent on the outcome of future events that are largely outside of the Company’s control, the variable consideration from the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty has been fully constrained and no amount is included in the results from discontinued operations. Consideration for the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty is to be recognized as received from the buyer. The constraint on the variable consideration will be reassessed at each subsequent reporting period. We have reflected the operations of the Scott's Liquid Gold® product lines as discontinued operations.

Prell®

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Prell® product line. The total consideration paid to us was $150, plus an amount equal to the value of the Prell® inventory of $330, subject to post-close adjustment. Additionally, the buyer will pay a royalty equal to 3% of collections on net sales for four years after the closing date (the “Prell® Royalty”). The Prell® Royalty resulted in recognition of a gain upon the sale of assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 there were no changes in the assessment of the Prell® Royalty, which will continue to be recognized as received from the buyer. The constraint on the variable consideration will be reassessed at each subsequent reporting period. We have reflected the operations of the Prell® product line as discontinued operations.

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations report discontinued operations separate from continuing operations. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Statements of Cash Flows combine the results of continuing and discontinued operations. A summary of financial information related to our discontinued operations is as follows:

We measured the assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We did not record any impairment charges in the second quarter of 2023.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

On May 11, 2023, we granted 200 shares of restricted stock to two directors all of which vested on the grant date with a fair value of $40.

On March 2, 2022, we granted 15 shares of restricted stock to one executive all of which vested on the grant date with a fair value of $18.

On January 18, 2022, we granted 25 RSUs to an employee (the “2022 Individual Employee Grant”) with a grant date fair value of $10. The 2022 Individual Employee Grant vested one-third on the initial grant date, and the remaining two-thirds will vest on each anniversary of the grant date.

Compensation cost related to stock options totaled $0 and $10 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The stock options were fully vested in the second quarter of 2022. There was no tax benefit from recording the non-cash expense as it relates to the options granted to employees, as these were qualified stock options which are not normally tax deductible.

Compensation cost related to RSUs totaled $57 and $76 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately $54 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested RSUs is expected to be recognized over the next three years.

Note 5. Earnings per Share

Per share data is determined by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are considered only for diluted earnings per share, unless considered anti-dilutive. Common equivalent shares, determined using the treasury stock method, result from stock options with exercise prices that are below the average market price of the common stock.

Basic earnings per share include no dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential of securities that could share in our earnings.

A reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands) is as follows. The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs is excluded for periods in which the impact is anti-dilutive and when the Company has a net loss because the impact is also anti-dilutive.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Common shares outstanding, beginning of the period		12,797		12,749		12,797		12,727
Weighted average common shares issued		111		-		56		18
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		12,908		12,749		12,853		12,745
Dilutive effect of common share equivalents		-		-		-		-
Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		12,908		12,749		12,853		12,745

Common stock equivalents (in thousands) that have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

	Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Stock options		60		213
Restricted stock units		31		104

Note 6. Segment Information

Note 8. Long-Term Debt

UMB Loan Agreement

On July 1, 2020, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “UMB Loan Agreement”) with UMB Bank, N.A.

Note 9. Leases

We have entered into a lease for our corporate headquarters with a remaining lease term of 7 years. This lease includes both lease and nonlease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to combine these components for all leases. As this lease does not provide an implicit rate, we calculated the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using our secured incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. We currently do not have any finance leases outstanding.

Information related to leases was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2023			Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

This Item 2 contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made, projected, or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Executive Overview

Our Business

Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. exists to positively impact consumers’ lives in the markets we serve while creating shareholder value. We develop, market, and sell high-quality, high-value household and health and beauty care products nationally and internationally to mass merchandisers, drugstores, supermarkets, hardware stores, e-commerce retailers, other retail outlets, and to wholesale distributors.

Primarily due to a decline in net sales, disruption of our international sales to China, and increases in costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations for several reporting periods. In efforts to improve our financial position and liquidity, the Company has pursued asset sales of certain brands where management has determined that the brand(s) are not aligned with our long-term goals for growth and profitability. The Company will continue to consider a wide range of options, including one or more of the following: the sale of additional brands; a sale, merger, or other strategic transaction involving the entire company; acquisitions of other brands or companies; issuance of additional debt or equity; and continuing to operate as a public, independent company.

Divestitures

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we sold the Alpha® Skin Care product line to a company that markets and distributes skin care products. Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we sold the BIZ® product line to a company that markets and distributes laundry products. The assets of Alpha® and BIZ® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. On January 23, 2023, we sold the Scott's Liquid Gold® Wood Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore product lines to a company that markets and distributes wood care products. On December 15, 2022, we sold the Prell® brand to a company that markets and distributes natural hair and skincare products. We have reflected the operations of Scott's Liquid Gold® and Prell® as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

See Note 3 - “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the sale of these brands.

In conjunction with the sale of the Scott’s Liquid Gold® brand, as discussed below, the Company may continue to use names “Scott’s Liquid Gold” and “SLG” for up to one year following the closing date of the agreement on January 23, 2023. Following this transitional name period, the Company will only be able to use the aforementioned names in connection with retaining records and other historical or archived documents and any use required by or permitted as a fair use or otherwise under applicable law.

Net loss	$	(453	)	$	(4,333	)	$	3,880			89.5	%

Our operating results were primarily impacted by the following:

•Increases in net sales, cost of sales, and gross profit are due to increased distribution of our products sold at existing and certain new customers.

•Decrease in selling expenses is primarily due to lower logistics and warehousing costs from a consolidation of our third-party logistics partners, and a reduction in personnel costs related to asset divestitures.

•Decreased general and administrative costs primarily due to a reduction in legal and professional fees, lower bank charges from the termination of our UMB Loan Agreement, and reduced personnel costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of funds include cash expected to be generated from operations and sale of brands. Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures. Working capital movements are influenced by the sourcing of materials related to the production of products.

Financing Agreements

Please see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our La Plata Loan Agreement, which was terminated in July 2023, and our UMB Loan Agreement, which was terminated in February 2023.

Liquidity and Changes in Cash Flows

At June 30, 2023, we had approximately $608 in cash on hand, an increase of $559 from December 31, 2022.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or (used in) each of the indicated types of activities:

21

	Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands)
							Increase / (Decrease)
	2023			2022			$			%
Operating activities	$	907		$	466		$	441			94.6	%
Investing activities		1,936			(142	)		2,078			1,463.4	%
Financing activities		(2,284	)		(1,278	)		(1,006	)		(78.7	%)

•Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to conversion of working capital from accounts receivable and inventories.

•Net cash provided by investing activities was due to the sale of our Scott's Liquid Gold® brand.

•Net cash used in financing activities was from repayments and termination of our UMB Loan Agreement and offset by proceeds from our La Plata Loan Agreement.

The cash received from the sales of our BIZ® and Alpha® Skin Care brands in July and August 2023 was $3,700 and was partially used to pay off and terminate our La Plata Loan Agreement. While we believe that our current cash reserves represent sufficient cash flows to fund our operations, our liquidity has been affected by inflationary pressures at our customers which have caused sales decreases and higher costs on materials, logistics, and other purchases. We expect that our current cash reserves will be sufficient to meet operational cash needs during the next twelve months, but further economic impacts to our sales to customers or supply chain disruptions in the short-term could impact our liquidity.
 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2023, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023 due to a material weakness in our internal controls resulting from our finance department not being able to process and account for complex, non-routine transactions in accordance with GAAP. Management concluded that we lack a sufficient number of trained professionals with technical accounting expertise to process and account for complex and non-routine transactions.

Remediation Plan

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and we are developing a remediation plan designed to help ensure that this material weakness is remediated as soon as possible, by establishing internal control(s) to identify complex, non-routine accounting transactions and engaging the assistance of accounting expert(s) as needed to assist in the accounting and reporting of these transactions.

The material weakness will not be considered remediated until a sustained period of time has passed to allow management to test the design and operational effectiveness of the corrective actions. Until the material weakness is remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Notwithstanding such material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

22

PART II

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

We are a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC. As a public company we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

As disclosed in Part I, Item 4, “Disclosure Controls and Procedures,” we have identified a material weakness in our controls related to our finance department lacking a sufficient number of trained professionals with technical accounting expertise to process and account for complex, non-routine transactions in accordance with GAAP as of June 30, 2023.

This material weakness did not result in any restatements to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our management is committed to remediating this material weakness and is in the process of developing a remediation plan to address the material weakness.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results.

8.5.2.Seller accordingly agrees that, without the express prior written consent of Buyer, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date in the case of Section 8.5.2.1 and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date in the case of Sections 8.5.2.2 and 8.5.2.3 (the “Restrictive Period”):

8.5.2.1.Seller will not and will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to directly or indirectly (including through their respective Affiliates or Representatives) engage in or conduct any business which directly or indirectly offers for sale products that are the same or substantially similar to the Products of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date during the Restrictive Period throughout the territory of The United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and each jurisdiction where the Business presently maintains a registered trademark (“Covenant Territory”); provided that the employees and directors of Seller may become employees, consultants, or directors of other companies in the same or similar industry. To the extent Seller has Knowledge of employees becoming employees in the same or similar industry during the Restrictive Period, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof reasonably promptly after the occurrence.

18

8.5.2.2.Seller will not and will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to directly or indirectly (including through their respective Affiliates or Representatives) (a) interfere with, solicit, or accept for itself or for any Person, other than Buyer or its Affiliates, any of the Former Customers and Existing Customers of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date, other than with respect to Seller’s business in the ordinary course that does not include the Business and does not conflict with or compete with the Business, and (b) induce, solicit or otherwise encourage any such past or present customer of the Business to purchase products that are the same or substantially similar to the products of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date, including the Products, from Persons operating businesses, or preparing to operate businesses, competitive with the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date; provided that such restrictions shall not apply with respect to employees of Seller who become employees or consultants of other companies in the same or similar industry. To the extent Seller has Knowledge of employees becoming employees in the same or similar industry during the Restrictive Period, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof reasonably promptly after the occurrence.

8.5.2.3.Seller will not and will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to directly or indirectly (including through their respective Affiliates or Representatives) interfere with, attempt to interfere with or disparage Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ relationship with any customer, vendor, contractor, supplier, employee, owner-operator or consultant (or the terms relating to such relationships) of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date. For a period of five years after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its respective Affiliates and Representatives not to disparage any product of the Business or Buyer.

8.5.3.For a period of one year after the Closing, Seller will not and will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to solicit to employ any employees of the Business (as of and after the Closing Date) or otherwise engage any such individual; provided that all current employees of Seller may continue to be employees of Seller. The term “solicit to employ” does not include (i) using general solicitations of employment, such as general advertisements, not specifically directed toward employees of Buyer.

8.5.4.From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its respective Affiliates and Representatives to (a) treat all Confidential Information of or relating to Business, the Purchased Assets, Buyer, and/or its Affiliates

19

(whenever and however acquired) strictly confidential; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information or permit it to be disclosed, in whole or part, to any Person without the prior written consent of Buyer; and (c) not use any such Confidential Information for any purpose except as permitted by this Agreement. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately in the event Seller becomes aware of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information of or relating to Business, the Purchased Assets, Buyer or its Affiliates (whenever and however acquired). Confidential Information subject to this Section 8.5.4 shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than through Seller’s breach of this Agreement or actions by any of Seller’s Affiliates which would be a breach hereunder if committed by a Seller; or is communicated to Seller by a Person that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information of or relating to Business as may be required by applicable Law, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized governmental agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such Law or order. Seller agrees to provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of Buyer within five (5) days of receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit Buyer to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections, as determined in Buyer’s sole discretion.

8.5.5.Seller acknowledges that (a) the Business is conducted throughout the Covenant Territory; (b) the Business is marketed in the Covenant Territory and that Buyer contemplates potential distribution throughout the Covenant Territory; (c) the Business competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the Covenant Territory; (d) Buyer has required that Seller make the covenants set forth in this Section 8.5 as a condition to Buyer’s purchase of the Purchased Assets and assumption of Assumed Liabilities; (e) the provisions of this Section 8.5 are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s interests in and right to the ownership and operation of the Business after the Closing; and (f) Buyer would be irreparably damaged if Seller were to breach the covenants set forth in this Section 8.5.

8.5.6.Seller further acknowledges and agrees that damages cannot adequately compensate Buyer in the event of any of Seller’s breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8.5. Accordingly, Seller agrees that in the event of a breach of any such covenants, Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the breaching Seller, without bond (or if bond or security cannot be waived, in an amount not exceeding $1,000) in addition to such other relief as may be available at law or in equity.

8.5.7.The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 8.5 shall be construed as agreements which are independent of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Seller against Buyer, of

20

whatever nature, shall not constitute a defense to Buyer’s enforcement of such restrictive covenants. To the extent any of such restrictive covenants are deemed unenforceable by virtue of their scope in terms of geographical area or length of time, but may be enforceable by limiting the scope thereof, Seller agrees that the same shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies of the jurisdiction(s) in which enforcement is sought, and the Parties hereby authorize any court or forum of competent jurisdiction to modify or reduce the scope of the restrictive covenants to the minimum extent necessary to make such restrictive covenants enforceable.

8.6.Consents. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest practicable date all consents, waivers, approvals and notices required to consummate, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All such consents, waivers, approvals and notices shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and executed counterparts of such consents, waivers and approvals shall be delivered to Buyer promptly after receipt thereof, and copies of such notices shall be delivered to Buyer promptly after the making thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any amounts in connection with obtaining any consent, waiver or approval.

8.7.Refunds and Remittances. After the Closing, if either Party or any of its Affiliates receives any refund, payment, or other amount or asset which is properly due and owing to the other Party in accordance with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or related to claims or other matters for which the other Party is responsible under any Transaction Document, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof and shall promptly remit (or shall cause to be promptly remitted) such refund, payment or other amount or asset to such Party in accordance with its instructions. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, each Party shall furnish the other Party with such financial and other data and information related to such Party’s assets and receivables as the other Party may reasonably request from time to time to the extent necessary to verify compliance with this Section 8.7.

8.8.Public Announcements.Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no Party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

8.9.Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the other on the Closing Date such instruments as the other may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. At any time and from time to time after the Closing,

21

Seller shall, at the reasonable request of Buyer and at Seller’s expense and without further consideration, execute and deliver any further deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance and transfer, and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request in order (a) more effectively to transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, and to place Buyer in actual possession and operating control of, and to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in Buyer all right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, (b) to assist in the collection or reduction to possession of any and all of the Purchased Assets or to enable Buyer to exercise and enjoy all rights and benefits with respect thereto, or (c) to otherwise carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

8.10.Forwarding Inquiries. For a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall, and cause its Affiliates to, forward communications or inquiries received by it regarding the Business to Buyer or as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing Seller and Buyer will work cooperatively to create an automatic forwarding system for Business related calls received on the 800 telephone number of Seller used in connection with the Business.

If the facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder arise out of the claim of any third party, or if there is any claim against a third party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense or the prosecution thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, unless (i) such claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in the defense or prosecution of such claim.

In any such event, whether or not the Indemnifying Party does so assume the defense or prosecution thereof, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records and information and attend at such proceedings as may be reasonably requested in connection herewith. The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any claim or demand that is settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), other than any claim or demand as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense or prosecution thereof.

Further, Buyer shall not make a claim hereunder until such claim or claims in the aggregate exceed $50,000 (“Basket”), in which event Seller shall be liable for all such losses from the first dollar; provided, however, the Basket shall not apply with respect to losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.6, 7.1.8, 7.1.17,. No Party shall have liability under this Agreement to the extent that such liability resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the other Party hereto.

Each of Seller and SLG further acknowledges and agrees that such information is and will continue to be of significant value to Buyer and that any

12

use other than by Buyer after the Closing could cause substantial loss to Buyer and thereby to the investment Buyer is making in the Purchased Assets and the Business.

7.8.2.Each of Seller and SLG accordingly agrees that, without the express prior written consent of Buyer, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date in the case of Section 7.8.2.1 and for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date in the case of Sections 7.8.2.2 and 7.8.2.3 (the “Restrictive Period”):

7.8.2.1.Neither Seller nor SLG will, and each will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (including through their respective Affiliates or Representatives) engage in or conduct any business in the Industry Segment which directly or indirectly competes or interferes with the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date during the Restrictive Period throughout the United States of America; provided that the employees and directors of Seller may become employees, consultants, or directors of other companies in the same or similar industry.

7.8.2.2.Neither Seller nor SLG will, and each will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (including through their respective Affiliates or Representatives): (a) interfere with, solicit, or accept for itself or for any Person, other than Buyer or its Affiliates, any of the former or existing customers of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date, other than with respect to Seller’s or SLG’s business in the ordinary course that does not include the Business and does not conflict with or compete with the Business; (b) induce, solicit or otherwise encourage any such past or present customer of the Business to purchase products that are the same or substantially similar to the products of the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date, including the Products, from Persons operating businesses, or preparing to operate businesses, competitive with the Business as the Business is conducted as of and after the Closing Date; provided that such restrictions shall not apply with respect to employees of Seller or SLG who become employees or consultants of other companies in the same or similar industry.

7.8.3.For a period of one year after the Closing, neither Seller nor SLG will, and each will cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates not to, solicit to employ any employees of the Business (as of and after the Closing Date) or otherwise engage any such individual; provided that all current employees of Seller and SLG may continue to be employees of Seller or SLG, as applicable.

13

7.8.4.From and after the Closing, each of Seller and SLG shall, and shall cause each of its respective Affiliates and Representatives to (a) treat all Confidential Information of or relating to Business, the Purchased Assets, Buyer, and/or its Affiliates (whenever and however acquired) strictly confidential as Confidential Information of Buyer; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information or permit it to be disclosed, in whole or part, to any Person without the prior written consent of Buyer; and (c) not use any such Confidential Information for any purpose except as permitted by this Agreement. Seller or SLG, as applicable, shall notify Buyer immediately in the event Seller or SLG becomes aware of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information of or relating to Business, the Purchased Assets, Buyer or its Affiliates (whenever and however acquired). Confidential Information subject to this Section 7.8.4 shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than through Seller’s or SLG’s (or their respective Representatives’ or Affiliates’) breach of this Agreement; or is communicated to Seller or SLG (or their respective Representatives or Affiliates) by a Person that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information of or relating to the Business as may be required by applicable Law, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized governmental agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such Law or order.

Accordingly, Each of Seller and SLG agrees that in the event of a breach of any such covenants, Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the breaching Party, without bond (unless required by Law) in addition to such other relief as may be available at law or in equity.

7.8.7.The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7.8 shall be construed as agreements which are independent of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Seller or SLG against Buyer, of whatever nature, shall not constitute a defense to Buyer’s enforcement of such restrictive covenants. To the extent any of such restrictive covenants are deemed unenforceable by virtue of their scope in terms of geographical area or length of time, but may be enforceable by

14

limiting the scope thereof, each of Seller and SLG agrees that the same shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies of the jurisdiction(s) in which enforcement is sought, and the Parties hereby authorize any court or forum of competent jurisdiction to modify or reduce the scope of the restrictive covenants to the minimum extent necessary to make such restrictive covenants enforceable.

Further, Buyer shall not make a claim under Section 8.1 until such claim or claims in the aggregate exceed $20,000 (“Basket”), in which event Seller or SLG, as joint and several Indemnifying Parties, shall be liable for all such losses from the first dollar; provided, however, the Basket threshold requirement shall not apply with respect claims related to fraud by a Seller Group Member. In addition, Seller shall not make a claim under Section 8.2 until such claim or claims in the aggregate exceed the Basket, in which event Buyer, as the Indemnifying Party, shall be liable for all such losses from the first dollar; provided, however, the Basket threshold requirement shall not apply with respect claims related to fraud by Buyer.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Company Background

Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc., a Colorado corporation was incorporated on February 15, 1954. Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) develop, market and sell high quality products. Our business is comprised of two segments: household products and health and beauty care products.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Alpha® Skin Care brand (the "Alpha Purchase Agreement"). The transactions contemplated by the Alpha Purchase Agreement are subject to customary conditions and closing deliveries by both Neoteric and the Alpha Buyer. The assets of Alpha® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Alpha product line was previously classified under our health and beauty care products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the BIZ® brand. The assets of BIZ® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. The BIZ® product line was previously classified under our household products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

On January 23, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Scott's Liquid Gold® brand, including the Wood Care and Floor Restore products. We have reflected the operations of the Scott's Liquid Gold® brand as discontinued operations for all periods presented, which was previously classified under our household products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Prell® product line. We have reflected the operations of the Prell® product line as discontinued operations for all periods presented, which was previously classified under our health and beauty care products segment. See Note 3 for further information.

(c) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Report have been prepared by the Company. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2023 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year and are unaudited. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the realization of deferred tax assets, reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventory, customer returns and allowances, intangible asset useful lives and amortization method, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

(e) Inventories Valuation and Reserves

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We estimate an inventory reserve, which is generally not material to our financial statements, for slow moving and obsolete products and raw materials based upon, among other things, an assessment of historical and anticipated sales of our products. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Our remaining raw materials balance is to be sold to contract manufacturing partners based on production demand.

(f) Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated or amortized. Fair value is determined based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was reclassified as held for sale. Disposal groups that meet the discontinued operations criteria by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45 are classified as discontinued operations and are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

(g) Leases

Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

Certain nonlease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, are included in the valuation of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are not material to our financial statements, are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements with lease and nonlease components are combined as a single lease component.

(h) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives, such as trade names, and formulas, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is included in Operating Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Internal-use software costs recognized as an intangible asset relates to capitalizable costs of computer software obtained for internal-use as defined by ASC 350-40-30-1. All other internal-use software costs are expensed as incurred by the Company. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the software once the software is ready for its intended use and placed into service. In the second quarter of 2022, our internal-use software was implemented for its intended use. The estimated useful life for internal-use software is five years and will be periodically reassessed based on considerations for obsolescence, technology, competition, and other economic factors.

(i) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash balances in the form of bank demand deposits with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. Historically, we have maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is generally not material to our financial statements, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. We have no significant financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign currency hedging arrangements.

The recorded amounts for cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

(j) Income Taxes

Income taxes reflect the tax effects of transactions reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. 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.

Taxes are reported based on tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not standard and that are measured at the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Differences between financial and tax reporting which do not meet this threshold are required to be recorded as unrecognized tax benefits or expense. We classify penalty and interest expense related to income tax liabilities as an income tax expense. There are no significant interest and penalties recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to valuation allowance. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 0.1% and 0.0% respectively.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, and permanent differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to realize deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

(k) Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until it is met. When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Our revenue contracts are identified when purchase orders are received and accepted from customers and represent a single performance obligation to sell our products to a customer.

Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include products shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration. Variable consideration includes estimates for expected customer allowances, promotional programs for consumers, and sales returns. Based on our customer-by-customer history, our variable consideration estimates are generally accurate and subsequent adjustments are generally immaterial.

Variable consideration is primarily comprised of customer allowances. Customer allowances primarily include reserves for trade promotions to support price features, displays, slotting fees, and other merchandising of our products to our customers. Promotional programs for consumers primarily include coupons, rebates, and certain other promotional programs, and do not represent a significant portion of variable consideration. The costs of both customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are estimated using either the expected value or most likely amount approach, depending on the nature of the allowance, using all reasonably available information, including our historical experience and current expectations. Customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are reflected in the transaction price when sales are recorded. We may adjust our estimates based on actual results and consideration of other factors that cause allowances. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Sales returns are generally not material to our financial statements, and do not comprise a significant portion of variable consideration. Estimates for sales returns are based on, among other things, an assessment of historical trends, information from customers, and anticipated returns related to current sales activity. These estimates are established in the period of sale and reduce our revenue in that period.

Sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.

We have also established an allowance for doubtful accounts. We estimate this allowance based upon, among other things, an assessment of the credit risk of specific customers and historical trends. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb any losses which may arise. In the event that actual losses differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Customer allowances for trade promotions and allowance for doubtful accounts are included in net accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were as follows:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Trade promotions	$	141	$	361
Allowance for doubtful accounts		36		59
	$	177	$	420

(l) Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as incurred.

(m) Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We determine the estimated grant-date fair value of stock options with only service conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including the estimated fair value of underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. We recognize compensation costs ratably over the vesting period using the straight-line method, which approximates the service period.

The Company issues restricted stock unit ("RSUs") awards with restrictions that lapse upon the passage of time (service vesting) and satisfaction of market conditions targeted to our Company’s stock price. For those RSU awards with only service vesting, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with both market and service conditions, the Company starts recognizing compensation cost over the requisite service period, with the effect of the market conditions reflected in the calculation of the award's fair value at grant date. The Company values awards with only service vesting requirements based on the grant date share price. The Company values awards with market and service conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company determines the requisite service period for awards with both market and service conditions based on the longer of the explicit service period and the derived service period. Stock awards that contain market vesting conditions are included in the computations of diluted EPS reflecting the average number of shares that would be issued based on the highest 30-day average market price during the reporting periods, if their effect is dilutive. If the condition is based on an average of market prices over some period of time, the corresponding average for the period is used.

(n) Operating Costs and Expenses Classification

Cost of sales includes costs associated with manufacturing and distribution including labor, materials, freight-in, purchasing and receiving, quality control, repairs, maintenance, and other indirect costs, as well as warehousing and distribution costs. We classify freight-out as selling expenses. Other selling expenses consist primarily of costs for sales and sales support personnel, brokerage commissions, and promotional costs. Freight-out costs included in selling expenses totaled $112 and $158 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and totaled $199 and $461 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits associated with management and administrative support departments, business insurance costs, professional fees, office facility related expenses, and other general support costs.

(o) Supplier Finance Programs

During 2022, we entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution and an agreement with an insurance agency which allows us to obtain extended payment terms for our insurance policies. The insurance policies can be canceled by the Company at any time with 10 days’ notice. The financial institution may cancel this agreement after providing 10 days’ notice if the Company does not pay any installment payment according to the terms of the agreement. We do not provide any forms of guarantees under these agreements. Payments of our obligations are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Outstanding confirmed amounts are $73 and $218 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which will be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as payments are due.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Liquidity

Note 2. Liquidity

Primarily due to a decline in net sales, disruption of our international sales to China, and increases in costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products, the Company has sustained significant losses from operations in several reporting periods since 2019. Absent any other action, the Company previously believed it would require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next 12 months.

Due to the sales of our BIZ® and Alpha® brands as disclosed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which generated $3,700 of cash in July and August 2023, we have fully repaid all long-term debt as of July 2023. While, absent any other actions, our operating activities are still expected to result in negative cash flows, we now expect to have enough liquidity to finance operations for the next 12 months. Management has recently implemented actions to reduce the Company’s operating expenses through asset sales, consolidation of vendors, and personnel reductions. To further reduce operating losses, the Company is considering additional various strategic actions including asset sales, obtaining additional debt or equity financing (potentially in conjunction with acquisitions), workforce reduction, deferring or eliminating certain capital expenditures, and further reduction of other operating expenses to ensure alignment with customer demand in order to address long-term liquidity needs and pursue its business plan. The Company expects that these strategic actions will further reduce expenses and provide required liquidity for ongoing operations.

Alpha® Skin Care

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Alpha® Skin Care brand. The transactions contemplated by the Alpha® Purchase Agreement were subject to customary conditions and closing deliveries by both the Company and the buyer and was consummated on July 31, 2023. The Company received payments of $2,500 and $200 in July 2023 and August 2023, respectively, representing total consideration for the sale of the Alpha Skin Care brand in the amount of $2,700 and an estimated gain on the sale of assets of $1,585 that will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023. The assets of Alpha® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

BIZ®

Closed in July 2023 and effective June 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the BIZ® brand. The transactions contemplated by the BIZ® Purchase Agreement were consummated on July 7, 2023. The total consideration paid to us was $1,000, plus an amount equal to the value of the BIZ® inventory, valued at $946 as of the effective date of the agreement, subject to post-close adjustment. The estimated gain on the sale of assets is $787 and will be recognized in the third quarter of 2023. The assets of BIZ® are classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and their operations have been classified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Scott's Liquid Gold Wood® Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore

On January 23, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Scott's Liquid Gold® Wood Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore product lines. The total consideration paid to us was $800, plus an amount equal to the value of the Scott's Liquid Gold® Wood Care and Scott's Liquid Gold® Floor Restore inventory of $1,136, subject to post-close adjustment. Additionally, the buyer will pay a royalty equal to 2% of gross sales for two years after the closing date (the "Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty"). The Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty resulted in recognition of a gain upon the sale of assets. Because the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty is variable consideration and is contingent on the outcome of future events that are largely outside of the Company’s control, the variable consideration from the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty has been fully constrained and no amount is included in the results from discontinued operations. Consideration for the Scott's Liquid Gold® Royalty is to be recognized as received from the buyer. The constraint on the variable consideration will be reassessed at each subsequent reporting period. We have reflected the operations of the Scott's Liquid Gold® product lines as discontinued operations.

Prell®

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to all of our right, title and interest in and to certain assets of the Prell® product line. The total consideration paid to us was $150, plus an amount equal to the value of the Prell® inventory of $330, subject to post-close adjustment. Additionally, the buyer will pay a royalty equal to 3% of collections on net sales for four years after the closing date (the “Prell® Royalty”). The Prell® Royalty resulted in recognition of a gain upon the sale of assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 there were no changes in the assessment of the Prell® Royalty, which will continue to be recognized as received from the buyer. The constraint on the variable consideration will be reassessed at each subsequent reporting period. We have reflected the operations of the Prell® product line as discontinued operations.

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations report discontinued operations separate from continuing operations. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Statements of Cash Flows combine the results of continuing and discontinued operations. A summary of financial information related to our discontinued operations is as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

On May 11, 2023, we granted 200 shares of restricted stock to two directors all of which vested on the grant date with a fair value of $40.

On March 2, 2022, we granted 15 shares of restricted stock to one executive all of which vested on the grant date with a fair value of $18.

On January 18, 2022, we granted 25 RSUs to an employee (the “2022 Individual Employee Grant”) with a grant date fair value of $10. The 2022 Individual Employee Grant vested one-third on the initial grant date, and the remaining two-thirds will vest on each anniversary of the grant date.

Compensation cost related to stock options totaled $0 and $10 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The stock options were fully vested in the second quarter of 2022. There was no tax benefit from recording the non-cash expense as it relates to the options granted to employees, as these were qualified stock options which are not normally tax deductible.

Compensation cost related to RSUs totaled $57 and $76 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately $54 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested RSUs is expected to be recognized over the next three years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Note 5. Earnings per Share

Per share data is determined by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are considered only for diluted earnings per share, unless considered anti-dilutive. Common equivalent shares, determined using the treasury stock method, result from stock options with exercise prices that are below the average market price of the common stock.

Basic earnings per share include no dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential of securities that could share in our earnings.

A reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands) is as follows. The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs is excluded for periods in which the impact is anti-dilutive and when the Company has a net loss because the impact is also anti-dilutive.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

We have entered into a lease for our corporate headquarters with a remaining lease term of 7 years. This lease includes both lease and nonlease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to combine these components for all leases. As this lease does not provide an implicit rate, we calculated the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using our secured incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

Basis of Presentation

(c) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Report have been prepared by the Company. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2023 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year and are unaudited. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the realization of deferred tax assets, reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventory, customer returns and allowances, intangible asset useful lives and amortization method, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Inventories Valuation and Reserves

(e) Inventories Valuation and Reserves

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We estimate an inventory reserve, which is generally not material to our financial statements, for slow moving and obsolete products and raw materials based upon, among other things, an assessment of historical and anticipated sales of our products. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Our remaining raw materials balance is to be sold to contract manufacturing partners based on production demand.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

(f) Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated or amortized. Fair value is determined based on the total consideration expected to be received by the Company. The fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and any remeasurement to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group. When the net realizable value of a disposal group increases during a period, a gain can be recognized to the extent that it does not increase the value of the disposal group beyond its original carrying value when the disposal group was reclassified as held for sale. Disposal groups that meet the discontinued operations criteria by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45 are classified as discontinued operations and are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

Leases

(g) Leases

Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

Certain nonlease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, are included in the valuation of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are not material to our financial statements, are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements with lease and nonlease components are combined as a single lease component.

Intangible Assets

(h) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives, such as trade names, and formulas, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is included in Operating Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Internal-use software costs recognized as an intangible asset relates to capitalizable costs of computer software obtained for internal-use as defined by ASC 350-40-30-1. All other internal-use software costs are expensed as incurred by the Company. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the software once the software is ready for its intended use and placed into service. In the second quarter of 2022, our internal-use software was implemented for its intended use. The estimated useful life for internal-use software is five years and will be periodically reassessed based on considerations for obsolescence, technology, competition, and other economic factors.

Financial Instruments

(i) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash balances in the form of bank demand deposits with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. Historically, we have maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is generally not material to our financial statements, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. We have no significant financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of accounting loss, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign currency hedging arrangements.

The recorded amounts for cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Income Taxes

(j) Income Taxes

Income taxes reflect the tax effects of transactions reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. 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.

Taxes are reported based on tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not standard and that are measured at the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Differences between financial and tax reporting which do not meet this threshold are required to be recorded as unrecognized tax benefits or expense. We classify penalty and interest expense related to income tax liabilities as an income tax expense. There are no significant interest and penalties recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to valuation allowance. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 0.1% and 0.0% respectively.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, and permanent differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management must determine that there will be sufficient taxable income to realize deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold for realizability. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

(k) Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until it is met. When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Our revenue contracts are identified when purchase orders are received and accepted from customers and represent a single performance obligation to sell our products to a customer.

Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include products shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration. Variable consideration includes estimates for expected customer allowances, promotional programs for consumers, and sales returns. Based on our customer-by-customer history, our variable consideration estimates are generally accurate and subsequent adjustments are generally immaterial.

Variable consideration is primarily comprised of customer allowances. Customer allowances primarily include reserves for trade promotions to support price features, displays, slotting fees, and other merchandising of our products to our customers. Promotional programs for consumers primarily include coupons, rebates, and certain other promotional programs, and do not represent a significant portion of variable consideration. The costs of both customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are estimated using either the expected value or most likely amount approach, depending on the nature of the allowance, using all reasonably available information, including our historical experience and current expectations. Customer allowances and promotional programs for consumers are reflected in the transaction price when sales are recorded. We may adjust our estimates based on actual results and consideration of other factors that cause allowances. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Sales returns are generally not material to our financial statements, and do not comprise a significant portion of variable consideration. Estimates for sales returns are based on, among other things, an assessment of historical trends, information from customers, and anticipated returns related to current sales activity. These estimates are established in the period of sale and reduce our revenue in that period.

Sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.

We have also established an allowance for doubtful accounts. We estimate this allowance based upon, among other things, an assessment of the credit risk of specific customers and historical trends. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb any losses which may arise. In the event that actual losses differ from our estimates, the results of future periods may be impacted.

Customer allowances for trade promotions and allowance for doubtful accounts are included in net accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were as follows:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Trade promotions	$	141	$	361
Allowance for doubtful accounts		36		59
	$	177	$	420

Advertising Costs

(l) Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

(m) Stock-Based Compensation

We account for share based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We determine the estimated grant-date fair value of stock options with only service conditions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including the estimated fair value of underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. We recognize compensation costs ratably over the vesting period using the straight-line method, which approximates the service period.

The Company issues restricted stock unit ("RSUs") awards with restrictions that lapse upon the passage of time (service vesting) and satisfaction of market conditions targeted to our Company’s stock price. For those RSU awards with only service vesting, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with both market and service conditions, the Company starts recognizing compensation cost over the requisite service period, with the effect of the market conditions reflected in the calculation of the award's fair value at grant date. The Company values awards with only service vesting requirements based on the grant date share price. The Company values awards with market and service conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company determines the requisite service period for awards with both market and service conditions based on the longer of the explicit service period and the derived service period. Stock awards that contain market vesting conditions are included in the computations of diluted EPS reflecting the average number of shares that would be issued based on the highest 30-day average market price during the reporting periods, if their effect is dilutive. If the condition is based on an average of market prices over some period of time, the corresponding average for the period is used.

Operating Costs and Expenses Classification

(n) Operating Costs and Expenses Classification

Cost of sales includes costs associated with manufacturing and distribution including labor, materials, freight-in, purchasing and receiving, quality control, repairs, maintenance, and other indirect costs, as well as warehousing and distribution costs. We classify freight-out as selling expenses. Other selling expenses consist primarily of costs for sales and sales support personnel, brokerage commissions, and promotional costs. Freight-out costs included in selling expenses totaled $112 and $158 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and totaled $199 and $461 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits associated with management and administrative support departments, business insurance costs, professional fees, office facility related expenses, and other general support costs.

Supplier Finance Programs

(o) Supplier Finance Programs

During 2022, we entered into an agreement with a third-party financial institution and an agreement with an insurance agency which allows us to obtain extended payment terms for our insurance policies. The insurance policies can be canceled by the Company at any time with 10 days’ notice. The financial institution may cancel this agreement after providing 10 days’ notice if the Company does not pay any installment payment according to the terms of the agreement. We do not provide any forms of guarantees under these agreements. Payments of our obligations are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Outstanding confirmed amounts are $73 and $218 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which will be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as payments are due.
