AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries (“AMCON” or the “Company”) operate two business segments:

· Our wholesale distribution segment (“Wholesale Segment”) distributes consumer products in the Central, Rocky Mountain, and Southern regions of the United States. Additionally, our Wholesale Segment provides a full range of programs and services to assist our customers in managing their business and profitability.

· Our retail health food segment (“Retail Segment”) operates sixteen health food retail stores located throughout the Midwest and Florida.

WHOLESALE SEGMENT

Our Wholesale Segment is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States serving approximately 4,500 retail outlets including convenience stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, drug stores, and tobacco shops. We currently distribute over 16,000 different consumer products, including cigarettes and tobacco products, candy and other confectionery, beverages, groceries, paper products, health and beauty care products, frozen and chilled products and institutional foodservice products. Convenience stores represent our largest customer category. In September 2015, Convenience Store News ranked us as the seventh (7th) largest convenience store distributor in the United States based on annual sales.

Our wholesale business offers retailers the ability to take advantage of manufacturer and Company sponsored sales and marketing programs, merchandising and product category management services, and the use of information systems and data services that are focused on minimizing retailers’ investment in inventory, while seeking to maximize their sales and profits. In addition, our wholesale distributing capabilities provide valuable services to both manufacturers of consumer products and convenience retailers. Manufacturers benefit from our broad retail coverage, inventory management, efficiency in processing small orders, and frequency of deliveries. Convenience retailers benefit from our distribution capabilities by gaining access to a broad product line, optimizing inventory, merchandising expertise, information systems, and accessing trade credit.

Our Wholesale Segment operates six distribution centers located in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee. These distribution centers, combined with cross dock facilities, include approximately 641,000 square feet of permanent floor space. Our principal suppliers include Altria, RJ Reynolds, ITG Brands, Hershey, Kellogg’s, Kraft, and Mars. We also market private label lines of water, candy products, batteries, and other products. We do not maintain any long-term purchase contracts with our suppliers.

RETAIL SEGMENT

Our Retail Segment is a specialty retailer of natural/organic groceries and dietary supplements which focuses on providing high quality products at affordable prices, with an exceptional level of customer service and nutritional consultation. All of the products carried in our stores must meet strict quality and ingredient guidelines, and include offerings such as gluten-free and antibiotic-free groceries and meat products, as well as products containing no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or partially hydrogenated oils. We design our retail sites in an efficient and flexible small-store format, which emphasizes a high energy and shopper-friendly environment.

We operate within the natural products retail industry, which is a subset of the large and stable U.S. grocery industry. This industry includes conventional, natural, gourmet and specialty food markets, mass and discount retailers, warehouse clubs, health food stores, dietary supplement retailers, drug stores, farmers markets, mail order and online retailers, and multi-level marketers.

Our Retail Segment operates sixteen retail health food stores as Chamberlin’s Market & Café and Akin’s Natural Foods Market. These stores carry over 32,000 different national and regionally branded and private label products including high-quality natural, organic, and specialty foods consisting of produce, baked goods, frozen foods, nutritional supplements, personal care items, and general merchandise. Chamberlin’s, which was established in 1935, operates six stores in and around Orlando, Florida. Akin’s, which was also established in 1935, has a total of ten locations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30. The results for the interim period included with this Quarterly Report may not be indicative of the results which could be expected for the entire fiscal year. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements (“financial statements”) contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial information included herein, such as adjustments consisting of normal recurring items. The Company believes that although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. For purposes of this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, and “AMCON” shall mean AMCON Distributing Company and its subsidiaries. Additionally, the three month fiscal periods ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 have been referred to throughout this quarterly report as Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 respectively. The fiscal balance sheet dates as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and September 30, 2015 have been referred to as December 2015, December 2014, and September 2015, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company is currently evaluating the following new accounting pronouncements and their potential impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements:

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to bifurcate deferred taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015- 11”). ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

2. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has two series of convertible preferred stock outstanding at December 2015 as identified in the following table:

	Series A			Series B
Date of issuance:	June 17, 2004			October 8, 2004
Optionally redeemable beginning	June 18, 2006			October 9, 2006
Par value (gross proceeds):	$	2,500,000		$	400,000
Number of shares outstanding at December 2015:	100,000			16,000
Liquidation preference per share:	$	25.00		$	25.00
Conversion price per share:	$	30.31		$	24.65
Number of common shares in which to be converted:	82,481			16,227
Dividend rate:	6.785		%	6.37		%

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”), are convertible at any time by the holders into a number of shares of AMCON common stock equal to the number of preferred shares being converted multiplied by a fraction equal to $25.00 divided by the conversion price. The conversion prices for the Preferred Stock are subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Common Stock. Cumulative dividends for the Preferred Stock are payable in arrears, when, and if declared by the Board of Directors, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year.

In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the distribution of any amount to the holders of the Common Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock are optionally redeemable by the Company beginning on various dates, as listed in the above table, at redemption prices equal to 112% of the liquidation preference. The redemption prices decrease 1% annually thereafter until the redemption price equals the liquidation preference, after which date it remains the liquidation preference. The Preferred Stock is redeemable, at the holder’s option, at the liquidation value. The Series A Preferred Stock and 8,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are owned by Mr. Christopher Atayan, AMCON’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Series B Preferred Stock holders have the right to elect one member of our Board of Directors, pursuant to the voting rights in the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B. Christopher H. Atayan was first nominated and elected to this seat in 2004.

3. INVENTORIES

At December 2015 and September 2015, inventories consisted of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost determined on a First-in First-out (“FIFO”) basis or market. The wholesale distribution and retail health food segment inventories consist of finished products purchased in bulk quantities to be redistributed to the Company’s customers or sold at retail. Finished goods included total reserves of approximately $1.0 million at December 2015 and $0.9 million at September 2015. These reserves include the Company’s obsolescence allowance, which reflects estimated unsaleable or non-refundable inventory based upon an evaluation of slow moving and discontinued products.

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill by reporting segment of the Company consisted of the following:

	December 2015		September 2015
Wholesale Segment	$	4,436,950	$	4,436,950
Retail Segment	1,912,877		1,912,877
	$	6,349,827	$	6,349,827

Other intangible assets of the Company consisted of the following:

	December 2015		September 2015
Trademarks and tradenames	$	3,373,269	$	3,373,269
Non-competition agreement (less accumulated amortization of approximately $0.5 million at December 2015 and $0.4 million at September 2015)	41,667		66,667
Customer relationships (less accumulated amortization of $1.5 million at both December 2015 and September 2015)	584,792		651,042
	$	3,999,728	$	4,090,978

Goodwill, trademarks, and tradenames are considered to have indefinite useful lives and therefore no amortization has been taken on these assets. At December 2015, identifiable intangible assets considered to have finite lives were represented by customer relationships and the value of a non-competition agreement acquired as part of acquisitions. The customer relationships are being amortized over eight years and the value of the non-competition agreement is being amortized over five years. These intangible assets are evaluated for accelerated attrition or amortization adjustments if warranted. Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $0.1 million during both Q1 2016 and Q1 2015.

Estimated future amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets with finite lives is as follows at December 2015:

	December 2015
Fiscal 2016 (1)	240,417
Fiscal 2017	265,000
Fiscal 2018	79,375
Fiscal 2019	41,667
Fiscal 2020	—
	$	626,459

(1) Represents amortization for the remaining nine months of Fiscal 2016.

5. DIVIDENDS

The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock and convertible preferred stock totaling $0.2 million during both Q1 2016 and Q1 2015.

Table of Contents

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share available to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income less preferred stock dividend requirements by the weighted average common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share available to common shareholders is calculated by dividing income from operations less preferred stock dividend requirements (when anti-dilutive) by the sum of the weighted average common shares outstanding and the weighted average dilutive options, using the treasury stock method.

	For the three months ended December
	2015					2014
	Basic			Diluted		Basic			Diluted
Weighted average common shares outstanding	625,356			625,356		612,560			612,560
Weighted average of net additional shares outstanding assuming dilutive options exercised and proceeds used to purchase treasury stock and conversion of preferred stock (1)	—			108,128		—			121,696
Weighted average number of shares outstanding	625,356			733,484		612,560			734,256
Net income	$	1,355,622		$	1,355,622	$	1,546,030		$	1,546,030
Deduct: convertible preferred stock dividends (2)	(49,177		)	—		(49,177		)	—
Net income available to common shareholders	$	1,306,445		$	1,355,622	$	1,496,853		$	1,546,030

Net earnings per share available to common shareholders	$	2.09		$	1.85	$	2.44		$	2.11

(1) Diluted earnings per share calculation includes all stock options, convertible preferred stock, and restricted stock deemed to be dilutive.

(2) Diluted earnings per share calculation excludes dividends for convertible preferred stock deemed to be dilutive, as those amounts are assumed to have been converted to common stock of the Company.

7. DEBT

The Company primarily finances its operations through a credit facility agreement (the “Facility”) and long-term debt agreements with banks.

· A financial covenant requiring a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 as measured by the previous twelve month period then ended only if excess availability falls below 10% of the maximum loan limit as defined in the credit agreement. The Company’s availability has not fallen below 10% of the maximum loan limit and the Company’s fixed charge ratio is over 1.0.

· Provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock in excess of $1.00 per share on an annual basis. There is, however, no limit on common stock dividends if certain excess availability measurements have been maintained for the thirty day period immediately prior to the payment of any such dividends or distributions and if immediately after giving effect to any such dividend or distribution payments the Company has a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.0 as defined in the credit facility agreement.

Cross Default and Co-Terminus Provisions

The Company’s owned real estate in Bismarck, ND, Quincy, IL, and Rapid City, SD, is financed through a term loan with BMO Harris, NA (“BMO”) which is also a participant lender on the Company’s revolving line of credit. The BMO loan contains cross default provisions which cause the loan with BMO to be considered in default if the loans where BMO is a lender, including the revolving credit facility, is in default. There were no such cross defaults at December 2015. In addition, the BMO loan contains co-terminus provisions which require all loans with BMO to be paid in full if any of the loans are paid in full prior to the end of their specified terms.

Other

The Company has issued a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $0.4 million to its workers’ compensation insurance carrier as part of its self-insured loss control program.

8. EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS

Omnibus Plan

The Company has two equity-based incentive plans, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively “the Omnibus Plans”), which provide for equity incentives to employees. Each Omnibus Plan was designed with the intent of encouraging employees to acquire a vested interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The Omnibus Plans together permit the issuance of up to 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards as well as awards such as stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares, bonus shares, and dividend share awards payable in the form of common stock or cash. The number of shares issuable under the Omnibus Plans is subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. At December 2015, awards with respect to a total of 179,255 shares, net of forfeitures, had been awarded pursuant to the Omnibus Plans and awards with respect to another 45,745 shares may be awarded under the Omnibus Plans.

During Q1 2016, the Company issued 5,500 incentive stock options to various employees, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Plan. These awards vest in equal installments over a five year service period. The awards had an estimated fair value at the grant date of approximately $0.1 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in connection with the Black-Scholes option pricing calculation as it relates to the Q1 2016 incentive stock option awards:

	Stock Option Pricing Assumptions

Risk-free interest rate	1.98	%
Dividend yield	0.9	%
Expected volatility	24.3	%

(2) 4,332 of the restricted stock units were vested as of December 2015. The remaining 8,668 restricted stock units will vest in equal amounts in October 2016, and October 2017.

(3) 13,000 of the restricted stock units will vest in equal amounts in October 2016, October 2017, and October 2018. The remaining 250 restricted stock units will vest annually in October 2016 through October 2020.

There is no direct cost to the recipients of the restricted stock units, except for any applicable taxes. The recipients of the restricted stock units are entitled to the customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. All cash dividends and/or distributions payable to restricted stock recipients will be held in escrow until all the conditions of vesting have been met.

The restricted stock units provide that the recipients can elect, at their option, to receive either common stock in the Company, or a cash settlement based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares, at the time of vesting. Based on these award provisions, the compensation expense recorded in the Company’s Condensed Statement of Operations reflects the straight-line amortized fair value based on the period end closing price.

Nonvested restricted stock units at December 2015	28,567		$	80.35

All Equity-Based Awards (stock options and restricted stock units)

Net income before income taxes included compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million during both Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 related to the amortization of all equity-based compensation awards. Total unamortized compensation expense related to these awards at December 2015 and December 2014 was approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has two reportable business segments: the wholesale distribution of consumer products and the retail sale of health and natural food products. The retail health food stores’ operations are aggregated to comprise the Retail Segment because such operations have similar economic characteristics, as well as similar characteristics with respect to the nature of products sold, the type and class of customers for the health food products and the methods used to sell the products. Included in the “Other” column are intercompany eliminations, and assets held and charges incurred by our holding company. The segments are evaluated on revenues, gross margins, operating income, and income before taxes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements require us to make judgments and estimates and the financial results we report may vary depending on how we make these judgments and estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes with respect to these policies during our fiscal quarter ended December 2015.

FIRST FISCAL QUARTER 2016 (Q1 2016)

The following discussion and analysis includes the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended December 2015 and December 2014:

Retail Segment

Business Update — Wholesale Segment

Shifting consumer tastes are impacting how consumers shop in the convenience store channel. Consumers are demanding more fresh “on-the go” meals and snack alternatives, and want to engage with retailers using easy to use technologies (mobile applications). However, many independent convenience store owners do not have the time or in-house resources to fully develop these areas.

We remain focused on offering and developing the best foodservice programs in the marketplace; foodservice programs which can be easily customized by customer size and geographic region, and which provide our customers with a recurring source of customer traffic. We also believe that providing access to new technology applications will be a critical competitive differentiation in the future. Information Technology is emerging as an ever important area of concern for our customers as it provides them with a direct interface to their customer base and helps level the playing field with larger competitors. To support these initiatives, we intend to continue our targeted investments in both our refrigerated trucking fleet and our technology solution suite.

Forward looking, we expect margin pressures to remain intense as wholesalers compete for market share. On a longer term basis, we remain focused on identifying strategic acquisition opportunities which can expand our reach and the portfolio of services we can provide. We also continue to explore a number of different mechanisms to further monetize our business platform which connects over 4,500 retail locations and millions of consumers across 23 states.

Business Update — Retail Segment

The retailing of health food and natural products is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As the demand for natural products has become mainstream, new competition has rushed into the market on a number of fronts. Conventional retail stores (grocery stores, mass merchants, etc.) in particular have dramatically increased their natural product offerings in recent years, especially in commodity priced food staples such as produce, vegetables, and dairy products.

At the same time, a number of well funded regional and natural health food retailers have embarked on aggressive new store expansion initiatives, pushing into smaller second tier markets. Companies such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, Natural Grocers, Vitamin Shoppe, General Nutrition Centers (“GNC”), Lucky’s Market, and Fresh Thyme Farmers Market have all expanded their geographic footprint with new store additions. This new competition from large health food chains and conventional stores has pressured sales industry-wide and has impacted the sales of our business as well.

Table of Contents

Despite the challenging environment, we believe independent health food retailers will continue to play an important role in the natural products ecosystem. For new brands coming to market, the breadth and depth of product selection offered by independent health food stores cannot be matched by big box retailers. Further, the depth of educational assistance available through the independent channel often makes our stores “first stops” when customers seek out specific in-store expertise in making certain purchases. Forward looking, we will continue to refine our business model as the market evolves. Carrying a highly differentiated product mix that is more difficult to copy has been the hallmark of our business over the years and will be central to our strategy as we work towards implementing various growth initiatives.

(1) Sales are reported net of costs associated with incentives provided to retailers. These incentives totaled $5.4 million in Q1 2016 and $5.1 million in Q1 2015.

SALES:

Changes in sales are driven by two primary components:

(i) changes to selling prices, which are largely controlled by our product suppliers, and excise taxes imposed on cigarettes and tobacco products by various states; and

(ii) changes in the volume of products sold to our customers, either due to a change in purchasing patterns resulting from consumer preferences or the fluctuation in the comparable number of business days in our reporting period.

SALES — Q1 2016 vs. Q1 2015

Sales in our Wholesale Segment increased $7.1 million during Q1 2016 as compared to Q1 2015. Significant items impacting sales during Q1 2016 included a $6.6 million increase in sales related to price increases implemented by cigarette manufacturers and a $1.4 million increase in sales related to higher sales in our tobacco, beverage, snacks, candy, grocery, health & beauty products, automotive, foodservice, and store supplies categories (“Other Products”). These sales increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in sales related to the volume and mix of cigarette cartons sold.

Sales in our Retail Segment decreased $0.5 million in Q1 2016 as compared to Q1 2015. This change in sales was primarily related to increased competition within the markets we operate.

Table of Contents

GROSS PROFIT — Q1 2016 vs. Q1 2015

Our gross profit does not include fulfillment costs and costs related to the distribution network which are included in selling, general and administrative costs, and may not be comparable to those of other entities. Some entities may classify such costs as a component of cost of sales. Cost of sales, a component used in determining gross profit, for the wholesale and retail segments includes the cost of products purchased from manufacturers, less incentives we receive which are netted against such costs.

Gross profit in our Wholesale Segment decreased $0.3 million in Q1 2016 as compared to Q1 2015. This decrease in gross profit was primarily related to the volume and mix of cigarette cartons sold, in addition to changes in vendor programs and promotions during Q1 2016. Q1 2016 gross profit in our Retail Segment decreased $0.2 million as compared to Q1 2015. This change was primarily related to the decrease in sales as previously discussed.

OPERATING EXPENSE — Q1 2016 vs. Q1 2015

Operating expense includes selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses include costs related to our sales, warehouse, delivery and administrative departments for all segments. Specifically, purchasing and receiving costs, warehousing costs and costs of picking and loading customer orders are all classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. Our most significant expenses relate to employee costs, facility and equipment leases, transportation costs, fuel costs, insurance, and professional fees. Our Q1 2016 operating expenses decreased $0.3 million as compared to Q1 2015. This change was primarily related to a $0.2 million decrease in operating costs within our wholesale segment and a $0.1 million reduction in operating costs in our retail segment.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE — Q1 2016 vs. Q1 2015

The effective income tax rate for Q1 2016 was 42.7% as compared to 39.1% in Q1 2015. The increase in effective tax rates between the comparative periods was primarily related to changes in the amount of nondeductible expenses under the Internal Revenue Service Code.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

· General. The Company requires cash to pay operating expenses, purchase inventory, and make capital investments. In general, the Company finances its cash flow requirements with cash generated from operating activities and credit facility borrowings.

· Operating Activities. During Q1 2016, the Company generated cash of approximately $12.7 million for operating activities. Significant sources of cash during Q1 2016 included a decrease in inventory and the impact of net earnings. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in prepaid and other current assets, and reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Our variability in cash flows from operating activities is dependent on the timing of inventory purchases and seasonal fluctuations. For example, periodically we have inventory “buy-in” opportunities which offer more favorable pricing terms. As a result, we may have to hold inventory for a period longer than the payment terms. This generates a cash outflow from operating activities which we expect to reverse in later periods. Additionally, during the warm weather months, which is our peak time of operations, we generally carry higher amounts of inventory to ensure high fill rates and customer satisfaction.

· Investing Activities. The Company used approximately $0.3 million of cash during Q1 2016 for investing activities, primarily related to capital expenditures for property and equipment.

· Financing Activities. The Company used cash of $12.2 million from financing activities during Q1 2016. Of this amount, approximately $9.7 million related to net repayments on the Company’s credit facility, $0.1 million related to repayments on long-term debt, $2.1 million related to the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, $0.2 million related to dividends on the Company’s common and preferred stock, and $0.1 million related to equity-based awards.

· Cash on Hand/Working Capital. At December 2015, the Company had cash on hand of $0.3 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $59.3 million. This compares to cash on hand of $0.2 million and working capital of $68.8 million at September 2015. Our working capital and prepaid and other current assets at December 2015 were impacted by higher prepaid inventory of approximately $3.8 million at the end of the period.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

· A July 2018 maturity date without a penalty for prepayment.

· $70.0 million revolving credit limit.

· Loan accordion allowing the Company to increase the size of the credit facility agreement by $25.0 million.

· A provision providing an additional $10.0 million of credit advances for certain inventory purchases if elected by the Company.

· The Facility bears interest at either the bank’s prime rate, or at LIBOR plus 125 - 175 basis points depending on certain credit facility utilization measures, at the election of the Company.

· Lending limits subject to accounts receivable and inventory limitations.

· An unused commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (1/4%) per annum on the difference between the maximum loan limit and average monthly borrowings.

· Secured by collateral including all of the Company’s equipment, intangibles, inventories, and accounts receivable.

The amount available for use on the Facility at any given time is subject to a number of factors including eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances that fluctuate day-to-day. Based on our collateral and loan limits as defined in the Facility agreement, the credit limit of the Facility at December 2015 was $68.7 million, of which $11.1 million was outstanding, leaving $57.6 million available.

At December 2015, the revolving portion of the Company’s Facility balance bore interest based on the bank’s prime rate and various short-term LIBOR rate elections made by the Company. The average interest rate was 1.93% at December 2015. During Q1 2016, our peak borrowings under the Facility were $40.1 million, and our average borrowings and average availability under the Facility were $27.6 million and $41.4 million, respectively.

Cross Default and Co-Terminus Provisions

Table of Contents

Dividends Payments

The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock and convertible preferred stock totaling $0.2 million during both Q1 2016 and Q1 2015.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2015.

OTHER

The Company has issued a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $0.4 million to its workers’ compensation insurance carrier as part of its self-insured loss control program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s liquidity position is significantly influenced by its ability to maintain sufficient levels of working capital. For our Company and industry in general, customer credit risk and ongoing access to bank credit heavily influence liquidity positions.

The Company does not currently hedge its exposure to interest rate risk or fuel costs. Accordingly, significant price movements in these areas can and do impact the Company’s profitability.

The Company believes its liquidity position going forward will be adequate to sustain operations. However, a precipitous change in operating environment could materially impact the Company’s future revenue stream as well as its ability to collect on customer accounts receivable or secure bank credit.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015 was made under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”), are convertible at any time by the holders into a number of shares of AMCON common stock equal to the number of preferred shares being converted multiplied by a fraction equal to $25.00 divided by the conversion price. The conversion prices for the Preferred Stock are subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Common Stock. Cumulative dividends for the Preferred Stock are payable in arrears, when, and if declared by the Board of Directors, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year.   In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the distribution of any amount to the holders of the Common Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock are optionally redeemable by the Company beginning on various dates, as listed in the above table, at redemption prices equal to 112% of the liquidation preference. The redemption prices decrease 1% annually thereafter until the redemption price equals the liquidation preference, after which date it remains the liquidation preference. The Preferred Stock is redeemable, at the holder’s option, at the liquidation value. The Series A Preferred Stock and 8,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are owned by Mr. Christopher Atayan, AMCON’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Series B Preferred Stock holders have the right to elect one member of our Board of Directors, pursuant to the voting rights in the Certificate of Designation creating the Series B. Christopher H. Atayan was first nominated and elected to this seat in 2004. </div><div style="margin-left:0%;margin-right:0%;"> </div><div style="margin-left:0%;margin-right:0%;"></div> </div> 0 <div> <div style="margin-left:0%;margin-right:0%;"></div><div style="margin-left:0%;margin-right:0%;"> 5.

EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE AWARDS   Omnibus Plan   The Company has two equity-based incentive plans, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively “the Omnibus Plans”), which provide for equity incentives to employees. Each Omnibus Plan was designed with the intent of encouraging employees to acquire a vested interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The Omnibus Plans together permit the issuance of up to 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards as well as awards such as stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares, bonus shares, and dividend share awards payable in the form of common stock or cash. The number of shares issuable under the Omnibus Plans is subject to customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. At December 2015, awards with respect to a total of 179,255 shares, net of forfeitures, had been awarded pursuant to the Omnibus Plans and awards with respect to another 45,745 shares may be awarded under the Omnibus Plans.   During Q1 2016, the Company issued 5,500 incentive stock options to various employees, pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Plan. These awards vest in equal installments over a five year service period. The awards had an estimated fair value at the grant date of approximately $0.1 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in connection with the Black-Scholes option pricing calculation as it relates to the Q1 2016 incentive stock option awards:   <div style="width:100%;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100.00%;margin-left:0pt;"> <tr> <td valign="bottom" style="width:84.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000 ;border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;padding:0pt;"> Stock Option Pricing Assumptions </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;padding:0pt;">   </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" style="width:84.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000 ;border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;padding:0pt;"> Q1 2016 </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;padding:0pt;">   </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width:84.50%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;"> Risk-free interest rate </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;background-color: #CCEEFF;;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-align:right;" nowrap="nowrap"><div style="float:left"></div>1.98  </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;"> % </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width:84.50%;padding:0pt;"> Dividend yield </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-align:right;" nowrap="nowrap"><div style="float:left"></div>0.9  </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;padding:0pt;"> % </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width:84.50%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;"> Expected volatility </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;background-color: #CCEEFF;;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-align:right;" nowrap="nowrap"><div style="float:left"></div>24.3  </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;background-color: #CCEEFF;padding:0pt;"> % </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="width:84.50%;padding:0pt;"> Expected life in years </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:02.50%;padding:0pt;">   </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:12.00%;;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-align:right;" nowrap="nowrap"><div style="float:left"></div>6  </td> <td valign="bottom" style="width:01.00%;padding:0pt;">   </td> </tr> </table></div>   Stock Options   The stock options issued by the Company expire ten years from the grant date and include graded vesting schedules ranging between three and five years.

The recipients of the restricted stock units are entitled to the customary adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and certain other distributions on the Company’s common stock. All cash dividends and/or distributions payable to restricted stock recipients will be held in escrow until all the conditions of vesting have been met.   The restricted stock units provide that the recipients can elect, at their option, to receive either common stock in the Company, or a cash settlement based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares, at the time of vesting. Based on these award provisions, the compensation expense recorded in the Company’s Condensed Statement of Operations reflects the straight-line amortized fair value based on the period end closing

BUSINESS SEGMENTS   The Company has two reportable business segments: the wholesale distribution of consumer products and the retail sale of health and natural food products. The retail health food stores’ operations are aggregated to comprise the Retail Segment because such operations have similar economic characteristics, as well as similar characteristics with respect to the nature of products sold, the type and class of customers for the health food products and the methods used to sell the products.  Included in the “Other” column are intercompany eliminations, and assets held and charges incurred by our holding company.  The segments are evaluated on revenues, gross margins, operating income, and income before taxes.   <div style="width:100%;"><table

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
WHOLESALE SEGMENT AND RETAIL SEGMENT	WHOLESALE SEGMENT Our Wholesale Segment is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States serving approximately 4,500 retail outlets including convenience stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, drug stores, and tobacco shops. We currently distribute over 16,000 different consumer products, including cigarettes and tobacco products, candy and other confectionery, beverages, groceries, paper products, health and beauty care products, frozen and chilled products and institutional foodservice products. Convenience stores represent our largest customer category. In September 2015, Convenience Store News ranked us as the seventh (7th) largest convenience store distributor in the United States based on annual sales. Our wholesale business offers retailers the ability to take advantage of manufacturer and Company sponsored sales and marketing programs, merchandising and product category management services, and the use of information systems and data services that are focused on minimizing retailers’ investment in inventory, while seeking to maximize their sales and profits. In addition, our wholesale distributing capabilities provide valuable services to both manufacturers of consumer products and convenience retailers. Manufacturers benefit from our broad retail coverage, inventory management, efficiency in processing small orders, and frequency of deliveries. Convenience retailers benefit from our distribution capabilities by gaining access to a broad product line, optimizing inventory, merchandising expertise, information systems, and accessing trade credit. Our Wholesale Segment operates six distribution centers located in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee. These distribution centers, combined with cross dock facilities, include approximately 641,000 square feet of permanent floor space. Our principal suppliers include Altria, RJ Reynolds, ITG Brands, Hershey, Kellogg’s, Kraft, and Mars. We also market private label lines of water, candy products, batteries, and other products. We do not maintain any long-term purchase contracts with our suppliers. RETAIL SEGMENT Our Retail Segment is a specialty retailer of natural/organic groceries and dietary supplements which focuses on providing high quality products at affordable prices, with an exceptional level of customer service and nutritional consultation. All of the products carried in our stores must meet strict quality and ingredient guidelines, and include offerings such as gluten-free and antibiotic-free groceries and meat products, as well as products containing no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or partially hydrogenated oils. We design our retail sites in an efficient and flexible small-store format, which emphasizes a high energy and shopper-friendly environment. We operate within the natural products retail industry, which is a subset of the large and stable U.S. grocery industry. This industry includes conventional, natural, gourmet and specialty food markets, mass and discount retailers, warehouse clubs, health food stores, dietary supplement retailers, drug stores, farmers markets, mail order and online retailers, and multi-level marketers. Our Retail Segment operates sixteen retail health food stores as Chamberlin’s Market & Café and Akin’s Natural Foods Market. These stores carry over 32,000 different national and regionally branded and private label products including high-quality natural, organic, and specialty foods consisting of produce, baked goods, frozen foods, nutritional supplements, personal care items, and general merchandise. Chamberlin’s, which was established in 1935, operates six stores in and around Orlando, Florida. Akin’s, which was also established in 1935, has a total of ten locations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30. The results for the interim period included with this Quarterly Report may not be indicative of the results which could be expected for the entire fiscal year. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements (“financial statements”) contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial information included herein, such as adjustments consisting of normal recurring items. The Company believes that although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. For purposes of this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, and “AMCON” shall mean AMCON Distributing Company and its subsidiaries. Additionally, the three month fiscal periods ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 have been referred to throughout this quarterly report as Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 respectively. The fiscal balance sheet dates as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and September 30, 2015 have been referred to as December 2015, December 2014, and September 2015, respectively.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company is currently evaluating the following new accounting pronouncements and their potential impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements: In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to bifurcate deferred taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015- 11”). ASU 2015-11 requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
