We are an Oregon-based producer and marketer of craft spirits, founded in 2008. Our products span several alcoholic beverage categories, including bourbon, American whiskey, vodka, gin, rum and tequila. We currently sell our products in 46 states as well as Ontario, Canada. We also generate revenue from tastings, tasting room tours, private parties, and merchandise sales from our facilities in Oregon. In addition, we bottle, can and package alcoholic beverages for others. The Company is subject to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (“OLCC”) and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”).

In May 2017, we used our shares to acquire 90% of Big Bottom Distillery, LLC (“BBD”), known for its award-winning, super-premium gins and whiskeys, including The Ninety One Gin, Navy Strength Gin, Oregon Gin, Delta Rye and American Single Malt Whiskey. In December 2018, we acquired the remaining 10% of BBD. In addition, we also provide contract bottling, canning, and packaging services for existing and emerging beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverage producers through MotherLode Craft Distillery (“MotherLode”), our wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in March 2017, and Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (formerly known as Craft Canning, LLC prior to the acquisition) (“Craft Canning”) acquired on January 11, 2019. On September 12, 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Intersect Beverage, LLC, an importer and distributor of tequila and related products under the brand name “Azuñia”.

Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs through the issuance of convertible notes, extended credit terms and the sale of equity. The Company has incurred a net loss of $9.4 million and has an accumulated deficit of $36.8 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings to fund its operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company raised approximately $1.5 million in additional capital from a combination of equity and debt financing.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had $0.4 million of cash on hand with a positive working capital of $11.5 million. The Company’s ability to meet its ongoing operating cash needs over the next twelve months is dependent on raising additional debt or equity capital, generating positive operating cash flow, primarily through increased sales, improved profit growth and controlling expenses. Management intends to implement additional actions to improve profitability, by managing expenses while continuing to increase sales. Additionally, management seeks to leverage the Company’s large inventory balance and its accounts receivable balance to help satisfy its working capital needs over the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Eastside Distilling, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or eliminated as permitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2019, our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastside Distilling, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, MotherLode, BBD, Craft Canning (beginning as of January 11, 2019) and the Azuñia tequila assets (beginning September 12, 2019). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting

The Company determined its operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate its performance internally. The Company has one business activity, packaging, producing, marketing and distributing alcoholic beverages and operates as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision makers, its president and chief financial officer, review the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

Net revenue includes product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return. The Company excludes sales tax collected and remitted to various states from sales and cost of sales. Sales from items sold through the Company’s retail locations are recognized at the time of sale.

Revenue received from online merchants who sell discounted gift certificates for the Company’s merchandise and tastings is deferred until the customer has redeemed the discounted gift certificate or the gift certificate has expired, whichever occurs earlier.

Customer Programs and Incentives

Customer programs and incentives, which include customer promotional discount programs, customer incentives and other payments, are a common practice in the alcoholic beverage industry. The Company makes these payments to customers and incurs these costs to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net sales or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, based on the nature of the expenditure. Amounts paid to customers totaled $354,519 and $192,801 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Advertising, Promotional and Selling Expenses

The following expenses are included in advertising, promotional and selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations: media advertising costs, special event costs, tasting room costs, sales and marketing expenses, promotional costs of value added packaging, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for the sales, brand and sales support workforce and promotional activity expenses. Advertising, promotional and selling costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising, promotional and selling expenses totaled $4,394,311 and $2,838,417 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of the costs of ingredients utilized in the production of spirits, manufacturing labor and overhead, warehousing rent, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Ingredients account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

Shipping and Fulfillment Costs

Freight costs incurred related to shipment of merchandise from the Company’s distribution facilities to customers are recorded in cost of sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of the purchase. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. At September 30, 2019, two customers represented 33% of trade receivables, and at December 31, 2018, two customers represented 34% of trade receivables. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 28% of consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 44% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

(unaudited)

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s notes are payable at fixed rates and their carrying value approximates fair value.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition.

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A portion of inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory. The Company has recorded no write-downs of inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at September 30, 2019 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Long-lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including property and equipment, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on income and expenses as reported for financial statement purposes using the “asset and liability method” for accounting for deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.

As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company established valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets.

Income tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of income tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with income tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no unrecognized income tax benefits, nor any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits, accrued or expensed at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Company files federal income tax returns in the U.S. and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the related tax authorities for the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns for years prior to 2011.

Comprehensive Income

The Company does not have any reconciling of other comprehensive income items for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Excise Taxes

The Company is responsible for compliance with the TTB regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcoholic beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $504,095 and $360,229 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest. Stock-based compensation was $1,247,745 and $986,193 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring program. Under the program, the Company has the option to sell certain customer account receivables in advance of payment for 75% of the amount due. When the customer remits payment, the Company receives the remaining 25%. Interest is charged on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. Under the terms of the agreement, the factoring provider has recourse against the Company should the customer fail to pay the invoice. Thus, factored amounts are recorded as a liability until the customer remits payment and the remaining 25% of the non-factored amount is received. The Company factored $319,226 of invoices and incurred $12,898 in fees associated with the factoring program during the three months ended September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $56,265 factored invoices outstanding.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and in November 2016 issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and amend the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following nine cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle; and restricted cash. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which superseded virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014-09 is to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company elected to apply ASU 2014-09 with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, making it effective for the year beginning December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting will be largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. In addition, this ASU provides a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease and instead account for the lease as a single component if both the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease component(s) are the same, and if the lease would be classified as an operating lease. These amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective approach and elected to not adjust comparative periods. Upon adoption, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $920,805 and lease liabilities of $1,110,445, and a net adjustment to retained earnings of $187,353. The Company considers the impact of the adoption to be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The new standard became effective on January 1, 2019 and should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 as of January 1, 2019. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2018-07 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires that companies compute the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2 by performing procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2017-04 will require companies to perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information. The fair value assigned to the customer list intangible asset was determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earning methods. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset value included management’s estimates of future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate of return which is based on the weighted average cost of capital for both the Company and other market participants, projected customer attrition rates, as well as applicable royalty rates for comparable assets. The useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the tangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The customer relationships estimated useful life is seven years.

The Company incurred Craft Canning-related acquisition costs of $81,811 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that have been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The results of the Craft Canning acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019. The sales and net income (including transaction costs) of Craft Canning operations included in our consolidated statements of operations were $5,866,675 and $517,657, for the period from January 11, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

Azuñia Tequila

On September 12, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the Azuñia Tequila brand, the direct sales team, existing product inventory, supply chain relationships and contractual agreements from Intersect Beverage, LLC, an importer and distributor of tequila and related products. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include the Azuñia Tequila assets and results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Azuñia Tequila results of operations are included from the acquisition date of September 12, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

The acquisition was structured as an all-stock transaction, provided that the Company may, at its election, pay a portion of the consideration in cash or by executing a three-year promissory note if the issuance of stock would require the Company to hold a vote of its stockholders under the applicable Nasdaq rules. Subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the initial consideration, not to exceed approximately $14.7 million in aggregate based on future revenue performance, will be payable approximately 18 months following the closing and will consist of 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a stipulated value of $6.00 per share, 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s stock price twelve months after the close of the transaction, and additional shares based on the Azuñia business achieving certain revenue targets and the Company’s stock price 18 months after the close of the transaction. The Company has also agreed to issue additional stock consideration (subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules) of up to $1.5 million upon the Azuñia business achieving revenue of at least $9.45 million in the period commencing on the 13th month following the closing and ending on the 24th month following the closing.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the final purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The Company estimated the purchase price based on weighted probabilities of future results and recorded deferred consideration payable of $12,781,092 on the acquisition date that will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingencies are resolved, with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The following allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information. The fair value assigned to the brand intangible asset was determined through the use of the market approach. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset value included category averages for comparable acquisitions, including multiples of annual sales and dollars per case sold. The Company used an estimated brand useful life of seven years for these accounting purposes.

The Company incurred Azuñia Tequila-related acquisition costs of $158,122 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that have been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The results of the Azuñia Tequila asset acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019. The sales and net loss (including transaction costs) of Azuñia Tequila operations included in our consolidated statements of operations were $232,571 and $(56,055), for the period from September 12, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

In December 2018 and January 2019, the Company invested in an online (direct-to-consumer) business and intends to begin selling select products through this platform. The remaining deposits of $56,542 represent office and retail space lease deposits.

The Company has various lease agreements in place for facilities and equipment. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2023. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to determine the present value of the lease payments. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $920,805, lease liabilities of $1,110,445, and a net adjustment to retained earnings of $187,353 upon adoption on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of September 30, 2019, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were $899,483 and $1,050,339, respectively. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Aggregate lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $570,762, consisting of $465,414 in lease expense for lease liabilities recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and $105,348 in short-term lease expense.

Maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 are as follows:

Year ending December 31:

On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), by and between the Company and The KFK Children’s Trust, Jeffrey Anderson – Trustee (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, the Lender will make loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,000,000 (the “Loans”). The Loans are secured by all of the Company’s bulk whiskey, bourbon and rye inventory held in third-party storage facilities (“Specified Inventory”). The Company may borrow 80% of the value of the Specified Inventory it is able to purchase under the Credit and Security Agreement.

The proceeds of the Loans are to be used by the Company to purchase the Specified Inventory for use in distilling and producing its spirits products, and for no other purpose.

The Loans have an annual interest rate of 7.00%. The Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, for the period commencing on the date each such Loan is made and continuing until each such Loan is paid in full. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid $159,250 in interest on the Loans. The Company must pay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in a one-time payment on the termination date of the Credit and Security Agreement (June 10, 2021), or earlier pursuant to other provisions thereof. The Company may prepay the Loans or any portion thereof at any time, and from time to time, without premium or penalty. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had borrowed the full $3 million available under the Credit and Security Agreement.

The current market value of the Company’s bulk whiskey, bourbon and rye inventories must be at least 120% of the outstanding Loan balance. In addition, the Credit and Security Agreement contains other customary covenants including, among other things, certain restrictions on incurring indebtedness.

Legal Matters

We are party to the material legal proceeding described below. In addition, we could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, or legal proceedings we considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and divert management resources.

On October 22, 2019, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of Oregon, County of Multnomah by two former employees, Laurie Branch and Justina Thoreson. The complaint also named as defendants certain current and former officers and employees of the Company. The complaint is captioned Branch et al. v. Eastside Distilling, Inc. et al., case number 19-CV-45716, and alleges, among other things, that the Company and certain current and former officers and employees engaged in sex discrimination, retaliation for reporting sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, and aiding and abetting unlawful discrimination. As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages of up to $560,000 and attorneys and experts’ fees. Since this litigation is in an early stage, the outcome is currently not determinable, and a reasonable estimate of loss or range of loss cannot be made. However, the Company’s insurer accepted initial defense of this matter, with a reservation of rights.

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the potential number of any dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and convertible notes. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive common shares at September 30, 2019 and 2018. The numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net loss per common share in 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Issuance of Common Stock

On January 11, 2019, the Company issued 338,212 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Craft Canning for a total consideration of $2,080,004.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued 132,652 shares of common stock to directors, employees and consultants for stock-based compensation of $801,319. The shares were valued using the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, within the range of $3.68 to $6.13 per share.

In April 2019, the Company issued 1,077 shares of common stock in connection with existing option exercises at an exercise price of $3.99.

In September 2019, the Company issued 280,555 units (the “Units”) in connection with a private offering at a per Unit price of $4.50 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $1,262,497. Each Unit consists of one share of Eastside’s common stock and a three-year warrant to acquire 0.5 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share.

Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock

Each share of Series A Preferred has a stated value of $1,000, which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $4.50 per share. The Series A Preferred accrue dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, cumulative. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears at the Company’s option either in cash or “in kind” in shares of common stock; provided, however that dividends may only be paid in cash following the fiscal year in which the Company has net income (as shown in its audited financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year) of at least $500,000, to the extent permitted under applicable law out of funds legally available therefore. For “in-kind” dividends, holders will receive that number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the amount of the dividend payment due such shareholder divided by (ii) 90% of the average of the per share market values during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the dividend date.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or sale of the Company, each holder of Series A Preferred is entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to: (i) $1,000 multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred issued under the Series A Certificate of Designation multiplied by (iii) 2.5.

For all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, the holders of the Series A Preferred as a class have an aggregate number of votes equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) into which the total shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Certificate of Designation on such date of determination are convertible multiplied by (y) 2.5 (the “Total Series A Votes”), with each holder of Series A Preferred entitled to vote its pro rata portion of the Total Series A Votes. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. In addition, the holders of Series A Preferred vote separately a class to change any of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had zero shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation

On September 8, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the plan, on January 1, 2019, the number of shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan reset to 2,030,775 shares, equal to 8% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, and then added to the prior year plan amount. As of September 30, 2019, there were 955,915 options and 371,076 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued under the 2016 Plan, with vesting schedules varying between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date.

On January 29, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan” and, together with the 2016 Plan, the “Plans”). The total number of shares available for the grant of either stock options or compensation stock under the 2015 Plan is 50,000 shares, subject to adjustment. The exercise price per share of each stock option will not be less than 20 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. At September 30, 2019, there were 44,584 options issued under the Plan outstanding, which options vest at the rate of at least 25 percent in the first year, starting six months after the grant date, and 75% in year two.

The Company also issues, from time to time, options that are not registered under a formal option plan. At September 30, 2019, there were no options outstanding that were not issued under the Plans.

A summary of all stock option activity at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at September 30, 2019 was $404,882.

At September 30, 2019, there were 344,071 unvested options outstanding with an aggregate grant date fair value of $864,676. The unvested options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in each respective option agreement, which varies between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at September 30, 2019 was $115,113. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 188,822 options vested and became exercisable.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest. To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:

The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.80. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 79,000 options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $142,189.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, total stock compensation expense related to stock options was $596,852 and $586,016 respectively. At September 30, 2019, the total compensation cost related to stock options not yet recognized was approximately $935,755, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.11 years.

The Craft Canning warrants are subject to the continuation of a consulting agreement and were not part of the purchase price of the acquisition.

The Company has determined the outstanding warrants should be classified as equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. The aggregate estimated fair value of the outstanding warrants at issuance was $270,027, based on a combination of closing market trading price on the date of issuance for the public offering warrants, and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the weighted-average assumptions below:

No warrants were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

A summary of activity in warrants is as follows:
