1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Organization and Operations

 

Through its subsidiaries, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“Company”, “GGH”), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 5, 1999, currently invests in, develops, and operates a collection of luxury assets, including real estate development, fine wines, and a boutique hotel in Argentina, as well as an e-commerce platform for the sale of high-end fashion and accessories.

 

As wholly owned subsidiaries of GGH, InvestProperty Group, LLC (“IPG”) and Algodon Global Properties, LLC (“AGP”) operate as holding companies that invest in, develop and operate global real estate and other lifestyle businesses such as wine production and distribution, golf, tennis, and restaurants. GGH operates its properties through its ALGODON® brand. IPG and AGP have invested in two ALGODON® brand projects located in Argentina. The first project is Algodon Mansion, a Buenos Aires-based luxury boutique hotel property that opened in 2010 and is owned by the Company’s subsidiary, The Algodon – Recoleta, SRL (“TAR”). The second project is the redevelopment, expansion and repositioning of a Mendoza-based winery and golf resort property now called Algodon Wine Estates (“AWE”), the integration of adjoining wine producing properties, and the subdivision of a portion of this property for residential development. GGH also holds a 79% ownership interest in its subsidiary Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”) which began operations in 2019 for the distribution and sale of high-end luxury fashion and accessories through an e-commerce platform. On June 14, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC (“GVI”), to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada, that may include opportunities in lodging, hospitality, retail, and gaming. On June 10, 2021, the Company announced the signing of a Letter of Intent to create a new strategic partnership with retail, hospitality, lifestyle, entertainment, leisure and gaming visionaries, Mark Advent, A. William (“Bill”) Allen, Timberline Real Estate Partners and Open Realty Properties for the purpose of creating a Gaucho Group Holdings development and Gaucho Group Holdings brand extensions in Las Vegas, Nevada. On June 17, 2021, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc announced the signing of an agreement with LVH Holdings LLC to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada, expanding the Gaucho brand in ways that could include opportunities in lodging, hospitality, retail, and gaming. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had made a total of $3.5 million in capital contributions and received 198 limited liability company interests which represents 6.25% equity interest. The Company is currently renegotiating the agreement with LVH on the future capital contribution plans described in Note 8 – Related Party Transactions. Subsequently, On November 10, 2021, the Company made an additional capital contribution to LVH in the amount of $3.5 million and received an additional 198 Units.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak as a global pandemic in March 2020. Recently, we temporarily closed our corporate office, as well as our hotel, restaurant, winery operations, and golf and tennis operations. Further, some outsourced factories from which Gaucho ordered products had closed, borders for importing product had been impacted and the Gaucho fulfillment center had also closed for several weeks. In response, we have reduced costs by negotiating out of our New York lease, renegotiating with our vendors, and implementing salary reductions. We have also created an e-commerce platform for our wine sales in response to the pandemic. On October 19, 2020, we re-opened our winery and golf and tennis facilities with COVID-19 measures implemented. Most recently, we reopened the Algodon Mansion as of November 11, 2020 with COVID-19 measures implemented. Additionally, the construction on homes were temporarily halted from March to September but has since resumed. The Company is continuing to monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions, and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and the related impact on the Company’s operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s future operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined. On November 1, 2021, the Argentinian Government opened the border for fully vaccinated international travelers. After more than one year and a half, people have been able to travel back to Argentina. Algodon’s San Rafael hotel is currently under renovation, and is working at 50% capacity. We anticipate the hotel will fully reopen in December 2021. The San Rafael restaurant (Chez Gaston) is also currently closed for renovation. We anticipate the restaurant to fully reopen in January 2022. Algodon’s Buenos Aires hotel is currently open and operational.

Reverse Stock Split

 

A 15:1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock was effected on February 16, 2021 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies included in the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the years then ended, which were included the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on April 12, 2021, except as disclosed in this note.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 12, 2021.

 

Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and working capital of $2,836,500 and $4,314,355, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,526,939 and used cash in operating activities of $5,661,611. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,096,561 from the sale of its common stock and net proceeds of $5,573,187 from the sale of convertible notes to its investors. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for details.

 

The Company expects that its cash on hand plus additional cash from the sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement (see Note 10 – Temporary Equity and Stockholders’ Equity) will fund its operations for a least 12 months after the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. The Company believes it has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. No similar insurance or guarantee exists for cash held in Argentina bank accounts. There were aggregate uninsured cash balances of $2,547,482 and $54,681 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of which, $357,553 and $54,681, respectively, represents cash held in Argentine bank accounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC Topic 606 provides a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and gains and losses arising from transfers of non-financial assets including sales of property and equipment, real estate, and intangible assets.

 

The Company earns revenues from the sale of real estate lots and sales of food and wine as well as hospitality, food & beverage, other related services, and from the sale of clothing and accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The following table summarizes the revenue recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Revenue from the sale of food, wine, agricultural products, clothes and accessories is recorded when the customer obtains control of the goods purchased. Revenues from hospitality and other services are recognized as earned at the point in time that the related service is rendered, and the performance obligation has been satisfied. Revenues from gift card sales are recognized when the card is redeemed by the customer. The Company does not recognize revenue for the portion of gift card values that is not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”) due to the lack of historical data. Revenue from real estate lot sales is recorded when the lot is deeded, and legal ownership of the lot is transferred to the customer.

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenues associated with real estate lot sale deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the lot sale closes, and the deed is provided to the purchaser. Other deferred revenues primarily consist of deposits accepted by the Company in connection with agreements to sell barrels of wine, advance deposits received for grapes and other agricultural products, and hotel deposits. Wine barrel and agricultural product advance deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the product is shipped to the purchaser. Hotel deposits are recognized as revenue upon occupancy of rooms, or the provision of services.

 

Contracts related to the sale of wine, agricultural products and hotel services have an original expected length of less than one year. The Company has elected not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, as permitted under the guidance.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred revenue of $706,033 and $849,828, respectively, associated with real estate lot sale deposits and had $47,269 and $84,113, respectively, of deferred revenue related to hotel deposits. Sales taxes and value added (“VAT”) taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share data for each period presented is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each such period. Diluted earnings per share data is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of: (i) shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method; and (ii) shares of nonvested restricted stock.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. The update also requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or a modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is evaluating this new standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

3. INVENTORY

 

Inventory at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was comprised of the following:

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or developed by the Company. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1 - Valued based on quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities trading in active markets. Financial instruments in this category generally include actively traded equity securities.

 

Level 2 - Valued based on (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (d) from market corroborated inputs. Financial instruments in this category include certain corporate equities that are not actively traded or are otherwise restricted.

 

Level 3 - Valued based on valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs is not readily observable. Included in this category are certain corporate debt instruments, certain private equity investments, and certain commitments and guarantees.

In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 120,337 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Tumim Stone Capital with an issuance date fair value of $500,000, which such issuance being recognized as a debit to additional paid-in capital.

If it becomes necessary for the Company to issue and sell to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement more shares than are being registered for resale under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the Total Commitment of $50,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, the Company must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, unless the average per share purchase price paid by Tumim Stone Capital for all shares of common stock sold under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $4.002, in which case the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply under applicable Nasdaq rules, and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Tumim Stone Capital of any such additional shares of the Company’s common stock the Company wishes to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before the Company may elect to sell any additional shares of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement limits the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital, and Tumim Stone Capital’s purchase or acquisition of common stock from the Company, to an amount of common stock that, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s common stock then beneficially owned by Tumim Stone Capital would result in Tumim Stone Capital having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. On August 26, 2021, the stockholders approved the issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The purchase price of the shares of common stock that the Company elects to sell to Tumim Stone Capital pursuant to a Fixed Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be determined by reference to the market prices of the common stock during the applicable Fixed Purchase Valuation Period for such Fixed Purchase as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, less a fixed 7% discount.

After consulting legal counsel, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, as is inherent in legal proceedings, there is a risk that an unpredictable decision adverse to the Company could be reached. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred. Settlements are accrued when, and if, they become probable and estimable.

Overview

 

Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“GGH” or the “Company”) positions its e-commerce leather goods, accessories, and fashion brand, Gaucho – Buenos Aires™, as one of luxury, creating a platform for the global consumer to access their piece of Argentine style and high-end products. With a concentration on leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories, this is the luxury brand in which Argentina finds its contemporary expression. By the end of 2021, the Company anticipates launching Gaucho Casa, a Home & Living line of luxury textiles and home accessories, which will be marketed and sold on the Gaucho – Buenos Aires e-commerce platform and at the flagship retail location in Miami’s Design District shopping mall. Gaucho Casa challenges traditional lifestyle collections with its luxury textiles and home accessories rooted in the singular spirit of the gaucho aesthetic. GGH seeks to grow its direct-to-consumer online products to global markets in the United States, Asia, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Argentina. We intend to focus on e-commerce and scalability of the Gaucho – Buenos Aires and Gaucho Casa brands, as real estate in Argentina is politically sensitive.

 

GGH’s goal is to become recognized as the LVMH (“Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy”) of South America’s leading luxury brands. Through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, GGH also owns and operates legacy investments in the boutique hotel, hospitality and luxury vineyard property markets. This includes a golf, tennis and wellness resort, as well as an award winning, wine production company concentrating on Malbecs and Malbec blends. Utilizing these wines as its ambassador, GGH seeks to further develop its legacy real estate, which includes developing residential vineyard lots located within its resort.

 

Due to COVID-19, we have terminated the corporate office lease and senior management works remotely. GGH’s local operations are managed by professional staff with substantial hotel, hospitality and resort experience in Buenos Aires and San Rafael, Argentina.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

 

On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (“Tumim Stone Capital”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Tumim Stone Capital up to $50,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion over a 36-month period from and after the commencement (the “Commencement Date”), to direct Tumim Stone Capital to purchase up to a fixed maximum amount of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Fixed Purchase”), on any trading day, so long as, in addition to other requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 120,337 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to Tumim Stone Capital with an issuance date fair value of $500,000, which such issuance being recognized as a debit to additional paid-in capital.

 

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital, only 1,494,404 shares of the Company’s common stock (representing the maximum number of shares the Company may issue and sell under the Purchase Agreement under the Exchange Cap limitation) have been registered for resale to-date, which includes the 120,337 Commitment Shares. If it becomes necessary for the Company to issue and sell to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement more shares than are being registered for resale under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the Total Commitment of $50,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, the Company must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, unless the average per share purchase price paid by Tumim Stone Capital for all shares of common stock sold under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $4.002, in which case the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply under applicable Nasdaq rules, and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Tumim Stone Capital of any such additional shares of the Company’s common stock the Company wishes to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before the Company may elect to sell any additional shares of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement limits the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital, and Tumim Stone Capital’s purchase or acquisition of common stock from the Company, to an amount of common stock that, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s common stock then beneficially owned by Tumim Stone Capital would result in Tumim Stone Capital having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

27
 

 

The purchase price of the shares of common stock that the Company elects to sell to Tumim Stone Capital pursuant to a Fixed Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be determined by reference to the market prices of the common stock during the applicable Fixed Purchase Valuation Period for such Fixed Purchase as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, less a fixed 7% discount. The purchase price of the shares of common stock that the Company elects to sell to Tumim Stone Capital pursuant to a VWAP Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be determined by reference to the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the three consecutive trading day-period immediately following the date on which we timely deliver the applicable VWAP Purchase notice for such VWAP Purchase to Tumim Stone Capital (the “VWAP Purchase Valuation Period”) as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, less a fixed 5% discount.

 

In connection with the Tumim Stone Capital transaction, the Company engaged Kingswood Capital Markets, n/k/a EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. (“EF Hutton”), as a placement agent to help raise capital. The Company has agreed to pay EF Hutton a fee of 8% of the amount of the funds raised pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 872,400 shares of the Company’s common stock to Tumim Stone Capital for gross proceeds of $3,746,454, less cash offering costs of $346,710 and non-cash offering costs of $500,000 related to the Commitment Shares.

Increases in real estate lot revenues of approximately $3,308,000 and increase in hotel, restaurant, and wine sales of approximately $59,000 resulting from the hotels reopening with COVID-19 measures implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Argentine government’s efforts to promote tourism and revitalize local businesses by subsidizing a portion of sales, which was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $837,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar.

The increase results primarily from the increase of approximately $1,010,000 in professional fees, partially offset by payroll expenses of approximately $134,000, delivery fees of approximately $89,000, and approximately $203,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $104,000 and $138,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $34,000 or 25%. The decrease was primarily due to the disposal of fixed assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Gain from insurance settlement

 

Gain from insurance settlement was approximately $30,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Insurance proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were to cover revenues lost during the rebuilding and repair period after the fire.

 

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense, net was approximately $88,000 and $194,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $106,000 or 55%. The decrease is primarily related to the decrease in the average balance of debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Gain on debt restructuring

 

Gain on debt restructuring of approximately $130,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 represents the gain realized from the restructuring of debt during the period.

 

Forgiveness of PPP Loan

 

We recognized a gain on forgiveness of PPP Loan of approximately $242,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Other income

 

Other income of approximately $88,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents the management fee received from LVH.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We measure our liquidity a variety of ways, including the following:

 

    September 30, 2021     December 31, 2020  
    (unaudited)        
             
Cash   $ 2,836,500     $ 134,536  
                 
Working Capital (Deficiency)   $ 6,234,249     $ (2,573,099 )
                 
Loans Payable   $ 343,000     $ 748,322  
                 
Debt Obligations   $ 7,000     $ 1,270,354  

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from debt and equity financings occurring in prior periods. A significant portion of the funds have been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $5,662,000 and $3,682,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of approximately $1,527,000 adjusted for approximately $577,000 of net non-cash expenses, and approximately $4,712,000 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of approximately $3,736,000, adjusted for approximately $391,000 of net non-cash expenses, and approximately $337,000 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $4,140,000 and $40,000, respectively, which resulted from the purchase of property and equipment of $640,000 and $40,000, respectively, and, $3,500,000 and $0, respectively, related to the purchase of investment – related parties.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, amounted to approximately $12,170,000 and the net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, amounted to approximately $4,492,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net cash provided by financing activities resulted from approximately $7,287,000 of proceeds provided by the sale of common stock and warrants in a public offering, approximately $3,746,000 of proceeds provided by the sales of common stock to the placement agent under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, $1,647,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, and $439,000 from the proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants to accredited investors, partially offset by debt and loan repayments of approximately $259,000 and payments of offering costs related to the public offering and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement of approximately $690,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the net cash provided by financing activities resulted from approximately $3,214,000 of proceeds from convertible debt obligations, approximately $1,201,000 of proceeds from common stock offering, approximately $574,000 and $28,000, respectively, from the proceeds from the issuance of related party loans payable and non-related party loans payable, approximately $242,000 of proceeds from the PPP Loan, and $94,000 of proceeds from the EIDL, partially offset by loan repayments of approximately $845,000 and the repurchase of preferred stock of $16,000 from a stockholder.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and working capital of $2,836,500 and $4,314,335 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $1,526,939.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,096,561 from the sale of its common stock and net proceeds of $5,573,187 from the sale of convertible notes to its investors. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for details.

 

34
 

 

We expect that the cash on hand plus additional cash from the sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement (see Note 10 – Temporary Equity and Stockholders’ Equity) will fund our operations for a least 12 months after the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. We believe we have access to capital resources and continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

Availability of Additional Funds

 

As a result of the above developments, we have been able to sustain operations. However, we will need to raise additional capital in order to meet our future liquidity needs for operating expenses and capital expenditures, including GGI inventory production, development of the GGI e-commerce platform, expansion of our winery and additional investments in real estate development. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information requested by paragraph (a)(5) of this Item.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies, estimates and new accounting pronouncements set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2021. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2021, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies 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 a 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 override of the controls. 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 deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time-to-time GGH and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to litigation and arbitration claims incidental to its business. Such claims may not be covered by its insurance coverage, and even if they are, if claims against GGH and its subsidiaries are successful, they may exceed the limits of applicable insurance coverage. After consulting legal counsel, we are not involved in any litigation that we believe is likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. However, our current risk factors are set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 12, 2021 and from Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

The following is a summary of all securities that we have sold since July 1, 2021 without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) entered into on May 6, 2021 with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (“Tumim Stone Capital”), the Company requested additional draw-downs pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and issued shares of common stock and received gross proceeds of the following: (i) July 12, 2021, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $1,169,550; (ii) September 16, 2021, the Company issued 83,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $273,693; (iii) October 13, 2021, the Company issued 36,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $100,775; (iv) October 19, 2021, the Company issued 69,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $191,661; (v) October 27, 2021, the Company issued 95,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $260,205; (vi) November 2, 2021, the Company issued 48,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $130,757; and (vii) November 10, 2021, the Company issued 145,000 shares of common stock to Tumim for gross proceeds of $413,163. No general solicitation was used, and a commission of 8% of the total gross proceeds was paid to Benchmark Investments, Inc. pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and Kingswood Capital Markets, n/k/a EF Hutton, a division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. dated February 16, 2021. The Company relied on the exemptions from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, in connection with the sales. A Form D was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021.

 

On July 2, 2021, the Company issued 274,500 shares upon exercise of a warrant at $6.00 for gross proceeds of $1,647,000.

 

On July 5, 2021, the Company issued 8,254 shares of common stock at $4.79 per share in settlement of its matching obligations for the year ended December 31, 2020 under the Company’s 401(k) profit sharing plan.

 

On July 21, 2021, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock at $3.53 per share pursuant to a service agreement with TraDigital Marketing Group. For this sale of securities, no general solicitation was used, no commissions were paid, and the Company relied on the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. A Form D was filed with the SEC on August 12, 2021.

 

On November 11, 2021, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 596,165 shares of common stock to the holders of the Notes (the “Pre-Delivery Shares”). The Pre-Delivery Shares were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. The investors represented that they are “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D, and are acquiring such shares under the Purchase Agreement for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Company filed a Form D with the SEC on November 10, 2021.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

 

On January 25, 2018, the Company received a bank loan in the amount of $525,000 (the “2018 Loan”), denominated in U.S. dollars. The loan bears interest at 6.75% per annum and is due on January 25, 2023. Principal and interest will be paid in 60 equal monthly installments of $10,311, beginning on February 23, 2018. During 2018, the Company defaulted on certain 2018 Loan payments, and as a result, the 2018 Loan is currently payable upon demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company made an aggregate principal payment of $52,552. As of September 30, 2021, principal of $249,000 is outstanding.

 

As previously reported on the Company’s Annual Reports on Forms 10-K for the years ending December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, the Company sold convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,046,730 (together, the “2017 Notes”). The 2017 Notes matured 90 days from the date of issuance, bear interest at 8% per annum and were convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.63 per share, which represented a 10% discount to the price used for the sale of the Company’s common stock at the commitment date. During the six months ended principal and interest of $1,163,354 and $258,714 were exchanged for common stock and warrants with an aggregate fair value of $1,422,068. As of September 30, 2021, principal of $7,000 and interest of $4,547 outstanding on the 2017 Notes is past due and is payable on demand. The 2017 Notes are no longer convertible.

 

As disclosed previously in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”) sold convertible promissory notes in the total amount of $2,266,800 to accredited investors (the “GGI Notes”). The maturity date of the notes was March 31, 2019, and at the option of the holder, the principal amount of the note plus accrued interest could be converted into GGI common stock at a 20% discount to the share price in a future offering of common stock by GGI. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid the promissory note in full.

 

Item 4. Mine and Safety Disclosure

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

As set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 3, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company, on April 29, 2021, increased the number of directors on the board from six to seven and appointed William Allen as a Class III Director to hold office until the Company’s annual stockholder meeting held in 2023. The Board has determined that Mr. Allen is an independent director as defined under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

As set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on July 13, 2021, all of the independent members of the Board of Directors on July 5, 2021, approved the extension of Scott Mathis’ employment agreement with the Company, dated September 28, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”) until October 31, 2021. All other terms of the Employment Agreement remain the same. Subsequently, on October 26, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the extension of the Employment Agreement until December 31, 2021. All other terms of the Employment Agreement remain the same.

 

As set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 31, 2021, and our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on September 29, 2021, the Company held its Annual General Meeting of Stockholders on August 26, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time virtually and in person at 112 NE 41st Street, Suite 106 Miami, Florida 33137 (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the stockholders approved six of the seven proposals submitted: (i) Election of Peter J.L. Lawrence to serve a three-year term as a Class II director until his successor is elected and qualified; (ii) issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an equity line of credit with Tumim Stone Capital LLC; (iii) an amendment to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan thereby increasing the number of shares available for awards under the plan to 15% of our common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the date of stockholder approval; (iv) the purchase of Argentina real estate from Hollywood Burger Holdings, Inc.; (v) the purchase of shares of the remaining 21% of common stock of Gaucho Group, Inc; and (vi) ratification and approval of Marcum, LLP as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2021. The seventh proposal, which was submitted by one of the Company’s stockholders, to cancel for cause the employment contract with Scott L. Mathis, CEO, was defeated.

 

As set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on November 8, 2021, the Company entered the Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which on November 9, 2021, the Company sold to the investors a series of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $6,480,000 (the “Notes”), which Notes shall be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.50 (subject to adjustment). The shares of common stock that have been and may be issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement and Notes are being offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. The investors represented that they are “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D, and are acquiring such shares under the Securities Purchase Agreement for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. Accordingly, the shares of common stock that have been and may be issued to the investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Company filed a Form D with the SEC on November 10, 2021.
