STRYVE FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Stryve Foods, Inc. (f/k/a Andina Acquisition Corp. III) (“Stryve” or the “Company”) is an emerging healthy snacking company which manufactures, markets and sells highly differentiated healthy snacking products. The Company offers convenient snacks that are lower in sugar and carbohydrates and higher in protein than other snacks. The Company is headquartered in Plano, Texas, with manufacturing operations in Madill, Oklahoma.
On July 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) by and among the Company, Andina Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), B. Luke Weil, in the capacity from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”) as the representative for the shareholders of the Company (other than the Seller), Stryve Foods, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Seller”), and R. Alex Hawkins, in the capacity from and after the Closing as the representative for the members of the Seller. Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Under this method of accounting, Stryve Foods, LLC is treated as the acquirer and the Company is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes.
In connection with the completion of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company: (i) issued
Prior to July 20, 2021, Stryve Foods, LLC was a “pass-through” (limited liability company) entity for income tax purposes and had no material income tax accounting reflected in its financial statements for financial reporting purposes since taxable income and deductions were “passed through” to its members. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure and is now a taxable C corporation in which the business of Stryve Foods, LLC and its subsidiaries is held by Holdings, which is a subsidiary of the Company. By virtue of the Up-C structure, the Company's only direct assets consist of its equity interests in Holdings, an entity of which the Company maintains
The consolidated financial statements are under the name of the Company, the legal parent, but represent Stryve Foods, LLC, the legal subsidiary (accounting acquirer) with an adjustment to retrospectively adjust the legal capital to reflect the legal capital as earnings per share (“EPS”). EPS is calculated using the equity structure of the Company, including the equity interests issued to the Seller in the Business Combination. Prior to the Business Combination, EPS is based on Stryve Foods, LLC’s net income and weighted average common shares outstanding on an as exchanged basis that were received in the Business Combination. Subsequent to the Business Combination, EPS is based on the actual number of common shares on an as exchanged basis of the Company outstanding during that period. For any periods prior to the Closing, basic and diluted net income/loss per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse recapitalization of the Company utilizing the number of Seller Consideration Units (adjusted as necessary to reflect the capital activity of Stryve Foods, LLC prior to the Closing) as the weighted average shares outstanding for those periods and the actual shares outstanding for any periods after the Closing, all on an as exchanged basis.

Note 2 - Liquidity
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $
At March 31, 2022, the Company had total current assets of $
The Company's operating plans are primarily focused on expanding its distribution base and increasing awareness of its products and brands while improving and expanding its manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Debt financing may require the Company to pledge assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or its ability to incur further indebtedness; and may contain other terms that are not favorable to the Company or its stockholders.
On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with select accredited investors (the “2022 PIPE Investors”), relating to the issuance and sale of
On January 28, 2022, the Company repaid approximately $
While Stryve has materially improved its liquidity position through the Business Combination and the Offering, the unpredictable nature of the current COVID-19 pandemic may put the current manufacturing facility at risk, as it may relate to the supply chain and the welfare of the Company’s labor. Additionally, the uncertainty of current market conditions could also adversely impact capital markets, with the risk of significant contraction occurring. This risk still is apparent and constantly considered by management, as it relates to external capital availability.
Based on the Company's cash balance of approximately $

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed herein are those that management considers to be the most critical to an understanding of the condensed consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgements and uncertainties. Estimates are used for, but not limited to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and customer allowances, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, standard costs of inventory, provisions for inventory obsolescence, impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets, warrant liabilities and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. All of these estimates reflect management’s judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgements and estimates could change, which may result in future impairments of assets among other effects.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Returns, and Deductions
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company records accounts receivable at their net realizable value, which requires management to estimate the collectability of the Company’s receivables. Judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the credit worthiness of each counterparty and the related aging of past due balances. Management provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectable amounts, in addition to a general provision based on historical experience. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and deductions totaled $
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company manufactures and markets a broad range of protein snack products through multiple distribution channels. The products are offered through branded and private label items. Generally, the Company considers all revenues as arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized based on the five-step process outlined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606:
The Company’s revenue derived from the sale of branded and private label products is considered variable consideration as the contract includes discounts, rebates, incentives and other similar items. Generally, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product, which may occur upon either shipment or delivery of the product. The payment terms of the Company’s contracts are generally net to
The Company regularly experiences customer deductions from amounts invoiced due to product returns, product shortages, and delivery nonperformance penalty fees. This variable consideration is estimated using the expected value approach based on the Company’s historical experience, and it is recognized as a reduction to the transaction price in the same period that the related product sale is recognized.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer.
The Company’s contracts generally do not include any material significant financing components.

Performance Obligations
The Company has elected the following practical expedients provided for in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
Neither the type of good sold nor the location of sale significantly impacts the nature, amount, timing, or uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.

Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation awards are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation (ASC 718). The Company expenses the fair value of stock awards granted to employees and members of the board of directors over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period. Compensation cost for stock-based awards issued to employees is measured using the estimated fair value at the grant date and is adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures.
Stock-based awards issued to non-employees, including directors for non-board-related services, are accounted for based on the fair value of such services received or the fair value of the awards granted on the grant date, whichever is more reliably measured. Stock-based awards subject to service-based vesting conditions are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
8
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of warrants, stock options, and other types of convertible securities. However, certain pre-funded warrants are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share as the pre-funded warrants can be exercised for nominal value. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and other types of convertible securities are included in the calculation. Dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive, such as in periods where the Company would report a net loss. For any periods prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing"), basic and diluted net income/loss per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse recapitalization of the Company utilizing the Seller Consideration Units (adjusted as necessary to reflect the capital activity of the Company prior to the Closing) as the weighted average shares outstanding for those periods and the actual shares outstanding for any periods after the Closing all on an as exchanged basis. As of March 31, 2022 there were
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes as estimated are payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.
Under the terms of a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) as part of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Seller
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.
The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740-10. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable. The Company's policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2022,

In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with Seller and Holdings. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company is required to pay Seller
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and vehicle notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term maturities or expected settlement date of these instruments. The vehicle notes payable have fixed interest rates the Company believes reflect current market rates for notes of this nature. The Company believes the current carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value because the terms are comparable to similar lending arrangements in the marketplace.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Note 7 - Income Taxes
Tax Receivable Agreement Liability
In conjunction with the BCA, the Company also entered into a TRA with Seller and Holdings. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company is required to pay the Seller 85% of the amount of savings, if any, in United States federal, state, local and foreign income tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of (A) tax basis adjustments resulting from taxable exchanges of Class B common units of Holdings and Class V common stock of the Company acquired by the Company in exchange for Class A common stock of the Company and (B) tax deductions in respect of portions of certain payments made under the TRA. All such payments to the Seller are the obligations of the Company. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no exchanges of Class B common units of Holdings and Class V common stock
12
of the Company for Class A common stock of the Company. The estimation of liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as the realizability of the tax benefit is not at the more likely than not threshold. Since the benefit has not been recorded, the Company has determined that the TRA liability is

Stryve Foods, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”)
The Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other awards at levels determined appropriate by its board of directors and/or compensation committee. The Incentive Plan also allows the Company to use a broad array of equity incentives and performance cash incentives in order to secure and retain the services of its employees, directors and consultants, and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of its employees, directors and consultants with the interests of its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or its compensation committee, or any other committee or subcommittee or one or more of its officers to whom authority has been delegated (collectively, the “Administrator”). The Administrator has the authority to interpret the Incentive Plan and award agreements entered into with respect to the Incentive Plan; to make, change and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Incentive Plan; to make changes to, or reconcile any inconsistency in, the Incentive Plan or any award agreement covering an award; and to take any other actions needed to administer the Incentive Plan.
The Incentive Plan permits the Administrator to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance shares, performance units, shares of Class A common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), cash incentive awards, dividend equivalent units, or any other type of award permitted under the Incentive Plan. The Administrator may grant any type of award to any participant it selects, but only employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may receive grants of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Awards may be granted alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or (subject to the repricing prohibition described below) in substitution for any other award (or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any affiliate, including the plan of an acquired entity).

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
Level 1: |
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted), for identical instruments in active markets. |
|
Level 2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Private Warrants
The Private Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Private Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Private Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The key inputs into the binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology for the Private Warrants were as follows as at March 31, 2022:

Overview
Stryve is an emerging healthy snacking company which manufactures, markets and sells highly differentiated healthy snacking products that Stryve believes can disrupt traditional snacking categories. Stryve’s mission is “to help Americans snack better and live happier, better lives.” Stryve offers convenient snacks that are lower in sugar and carbohydrates and higher in protein than other snacks. Stryve offers all-natural, delicious snacks which it believes are nutritious and offer consumers a convenient healthy snacking option for their on-the-go lives.
Stryve’s current product portfolio consists primarily of air-dried meat snack products marketed under the Stryve®, Kalahari®, Braaitime®, and Vacadillos® brand names. Biltong is a process for preserving meat through air drying that originated centuries ago in South Africa. Unlike beef jerky, Stryve’s all-natural air-dried meat snack products are made of beef and spices, are never cooked, most contain zero grams of sugar, and are free of monosodium glutamate (MSG), gluten, nitrates, nitrites, and preservatives. As a result, Stryve’s products are Keto and Paleo diet friendly. Further, based on protein density and sugar content, Stryve believes that its air-dried meat snack products are some of the healthiest shelf-stable snacks available today.
Stryve distributes its products in major retail channels, primarily in North America, including grocery, club stores and other retail outlets, as well as directly to consumers through its e-commerce websites, which officially launched in 2020, as well as direct to consumer through the Amazon platform.
Stryve believes increased consumer focus in the U.S. on health and wellness will continue to drive growth of the healthy snacking category and increase demand for Stryve’s products. Stryve has shown strong sales growth since its inception in 2017. Stryve has made substantial investments since its inception in product development, establishing its manufacturing facility, and building its marketing, sales and operations infrastructure to grow its business. As a result, Stryve has reported net losses since its inception. Stryve intends to continue to invest in product innovation, improving its supply chain, enhancing and expanding its manufacturing capabilities, and expanding its marketing and sales initiatives to drive continued growth. Additionally, moving forward management anticipates additional expenses not previously experienced related to internal controls, regulatory compliance, and other expenses relating to its go-forward operations as a public company.

Comparability of Financial Information
The Company's results of operations and statements of assets and liabilities may not be comparable between periods as a result of the Business Combination and becoming a public company.
January 2022 PIPE Transaction
On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with select accredited investors (the “2022 PIPE Investors”), relating to the issuance and sale of 2,496,934 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and, in lieu of Class A Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,797,184 shares of Class A common stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”), and accompanying warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,294,118 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price equal to $3.60 and a term of five years (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on January 11, 2022. The Class A common stock and PIPE Warrants were sold at a combined purchase price of $3.40 per share (less $0.0001 per share for PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants). The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of $32.3 million. The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Business Combination
On July 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Andina completed the business combination (the "Business Combination") pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") by and among the Company, Andina Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), B. Luke Weil, in the capacity from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”) as the representative for the shareholders of the Company (other than the Seller), Stryve Foods, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Seller”), and R. Alex Hawkins, in the capacity from and after the Closing as the representative for the members of the Seller.
As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, the following occurred: (i) the Seller and Stryve Foods, LLC (“Stryve LLC”) conducted a reorganization via a merger pursuant to which the Seller became a holding company for Stryve LLC, the former owners of Stryve LLC became the owners of the Seller, and the former holders of convertible notes of Stryve LLC became holders of convertible notes of the Seller, and pursuant to which Stryve LLC retained all of its subsidiaries, business, assets and liabilities, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (the “Merger”), (ii) the Company was transferred by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware, (iii) the Seller contributed to Holdings all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Stryve LLC in exchange for 11,502,355 newly issued non-voting Class B common units of Holdings (the "Seller Consideration Units") and voting (but non-economic) Class V common stock of the Company (that was previously subject to a post-Closing working capital true-up), (iv) the Company contributed all of its cash and cash equivalents to Holdings, approximately $37.9 million, after the payment of approximately $7.8 million to the Company’s shareholders that elected to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Closing (the “Redemption”) and the payment of approximately $10.4 million of the Company’s expenses and other liabilities due at the Closing, in exchange for newly issued voting Class A common units of Holdings and (v) the Company issued $10.9 million of Class A common stock, satisfied by the offset of principal and accrued interest under $10.6 million of outstanding unsecured promissory notes (the "Bridge Notes") issued by Stryve LLC to certain investors in a private placement on the Closing Date (the "Bridge Investors"); and (vi) the Company changed its name to “Stryve Foods, Inc.” In addition, the Company’s ordinary shares converted into shares of Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, without any action of the holder. On March 25, 2022, the Company finalized the post-closing adjustments under the Business Combination Agreement (the "Post-Closing Adjustment"), which resulted in the release of all 115,023 escrowed shares of Class V common stock, an equal number of Holdings Class B common units, and the net payment of approximately $238,000 by the Company to the Seller. As a result, no additional Post-Closing Adjustment remains outstanding.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Stryve LLC and its subsidiaries is held by Holdings, which is a subsidiary of the Company. By virtue of the “Up-C” structure, the Company’s only direct assets consist of its equity interests in Holdings, an entity of which the Company maintains 100% voting control. As the sole voting member of Holdings, the Company has full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the business of Stryve LLC and to take all action it deems necessary, appropriate, advisable, incidental, or convenient to accomplish the purposes of Stryve LLC and, accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.
On July 20, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company: (i) issued 4,250,000 shares of Class A common stock to private placement investors for aggregate consideration of $42.5 million; and (ii) the Company issued 1,357,372 shares of Class A common stock to the Bridge Investors satisfied by the offset of $10.9 million of principal and accrued interest under outstanding Bridge Notes issued by Stryve LLC, as part of the Business Combination.
20
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Under this method of accounting, Stryve LLC is treated as the acquirer and Andina is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. Because Stryve LLC was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Stryve LLC became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and new variants emerge, we continue to prioritize the safety of our employees while navigating the evolving operating environment. Despite facing increased commodity costs, supply chain and transportation constraints, and labor challenges through the pandemic, throughout the pandemic we have capitalized on our competitive advantages in manufacturing to drive significant growth in consumer adoption of our products leading to an increased retail footprint and ultimately growth in net sales.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented certain challenges and opportunities for us. The unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, creates continued uncertainty around vaccination mandates, economic recovery, labor and other inflationary pressures. The COVID-19 pandemic also creates uncertainty around customer demand within retail distribution as some retail partners’ willingness to reset distribution (which involves refreshing and reorganizing their product mix) and bring on new products may be affected. As distribution resets are an important way for us to secure new retail distribution for our products, this dynamic delayed our entry into many retail locations over the course of the pandemic. We anticipate that, although there is still a risk that distribution resets of certain retailers may be affected by the pandemic, we believe that many of the retailers will conduct resets as scheduled.
Through the majority of the pandemic, we have been successful at avoiding disruptions to our supply chain and operations through these measures and have been able to maintain continuity of supply for its customers. However, in the second half of 2021, we experienced certain supply chain challenges that negatively affected our ability to supply the demands to all of our channels of trade and negatively impacted our gross margins. While our efforts to mitigate these challenges are beginning to show positive signs, these challenges nonetheless continued to have an impact on the first quarter of 2022.
We believe that many of the supply chain disruptions we experienced in our operations due to the pandemic are temporary but may persist in the near term. In the first quarter of 2022, we experienced a more expensive operating environment throughout the business, including higher prices for raw materials, beef, transportation, labor, and advertising than we typically experienced in 2021. We expect these inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022. We continue to track new developments and ongoing impacts from the pandemic as we execute on our mitigating strategies to lessen the impact of these challenges and cost increases including but not limited to, price increases, improving our manufacturing yields through capacity enhancements, investing in further automation, and rationalizing and optimizing marketing spend to drive greater returns and retail velocities.
Investments to Grow Asset Base and Strengthen Balance Sheet
Since the consummation of the Business Combination in July 2021, we have made considerable investments to strengthen our balance sheet in light of the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Meaningful investments made to reduce debt, grow working capital, acquire capital equipment, and expand facilities throughout the first quarter of 2022 were a continuation of this trend. In the first quarter, we retired approximately $6.84 million of debt and separately announced the completion of our first major expansion to our manufacturing facility in Madill, Oklahoma. This expansion has allowed us to augment our capacities so that we can more efficiently flex our run rate production levels, if needed, to satisfy outsized new distribution lay-in orders and/or national programs without materially straining our ordinary course day-to-day production. Additionally, we have made considerable investments in our inventory and current assets to help service our expanded distribution base moving forward.
Optimizing Spend and Reducing Losses
We materially reduced our net loss by $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 despite similar macroeconomic headwinds. While we saw some improvements in our gross margins, it was more efficient spending that was the primary driver of the reduction in net loss. We have examined every area of spending throughout our business and identified ways to drive efficiencies, eliminate unnecessary expense, and focus on the highest and best use of each dollar. Moving forward, our optimized spending plan will begin to materially benefit from portfolio-wide price increases that will begin to take effect in the second quarter of 2022. While we intend to continue to invest to drive meaningful growth in net sales, we are doing so in a more disciplined manner that acknowledges the fundamental changes in direct-to-consumer advertising markets. By monitoring our unit economics closely, maintaining an optimized spending profile, and seeking to meaningfully grow net sales, we believe we will be able to drive further reductions in our net losses moving forward.

Net sales. Net sales increased by $0.6 million from $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 representing growth of 8.6% for the comparable periods. The primary driver of the increase in net sales are increased sales of our products to existing wholesale and net new sales related to additional distribution secured for 2022 at a number of key retailers.
22
However, these gains were offset by a $1.5 million decline in our DTC e-commerce revenue. Our DTC e-commerce business generated $1.4 million in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In the latter part of 2021, the digital advertising behind our DTC business became significantly more expensive and less effective due to industry wide changes related to data privacy and app tracking that affected nearly all DTC advertisers. As a result, we elected to significantly scale back digital advertising midway through the fourth quarter of 2021 and throughout the first quarter of 2022. We anticipate that these trends in digital advertising will continue for the foreseeable future, and as such, plan to proceed with what we believe to be a more prudent approach to DTC digital advertising spending in 2022. Additionally, the performance of our DTC e-commerce business in the first quarter of 2022 was partially impacted by fulfillment supply chain challenges that hindered our ability to maintain in stock percentages of our products for a period of time. As a result, many DTC orders were not fulfilled or were delayed.
Net sales to wholesale customers were $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 representing an increase of 85% when compared to $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. We added a significant number of new doors of distribution in the year ended December 31, 2021 across most of our brands, which contributed meaningfully to our growth. Throughout 2021 we secured new distribution with several marquee customers in the club, mass, grocery, and convenience channels. Further, we garnered expanded distribution with a number of its existing retail relationships. We believe that outside of the new and expanded distribution, the growth in the wholesale channel is, in part, attributable to increased sell-through velocities of our products at retailers supported by increased foot traffic in retail stores following an easing of pandemic related restrictions and associated consumer behavior.
Private label continues to be an important component in order to provide incremental volumes and help deepen our relationships with our retailers. And, with limited need for marketing support, its cash conversion can be attractive. The performance of our private label business in the fourth quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted by packaging supply chain challenges that hindered our ability to deliver orders for our customers. Some of these challenges bled over into the first quarter of 2022 and had an effect on net sales attributable to the channel. Net sales to private label customers for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $1.0 million which represents a $0.2 million decline from the prior year comparable period.
The following table shows the net sales of the Company disaggregated by channel for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $2.1 million from $4.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by increased sales volume followed by significant increases in direct labor and commodity input costs, including beef, packaging, and other ingredients. Overall commodity beef prices have increased significantly year-over-year due to what we believe are the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically labor shortages and inefficiencies in the meat processing supply chain resulting in inflationary pressures, which may persist for the foreseeable future.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $1.6 million from $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was 15.1% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 39.2% in the first quarter of 2021. A few primary factors contribute to this performance:
23
Operating Expenses.
Operating Loss. Operating loss increased by $0.6 million from $6.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and is primarily attributable to the Company’s increase in expenses related to increased selling and marketing expenses as well as increased operations expense, all of which is partially offset by growth in net sales.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million from $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. While we relied, in part, on debt capital to support the business throughout 2021, we significantly deleveraged the business in the first quarter of 2022 as well as upon the consummation of the Business Combination in the third quarter of 2021 thus reducing the overall interest expense of the business year-over-year.
Net Loss. Net loss increased $1.5 million from $5.8 million in three months ended March 31, 2021 to $7.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, with the increase primarily attributable to a one-time benefit of $1.7 million received in the first quarter of 2021 related to the forgiveness of a Paycheck Protection Program loan that did not occur in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in operating results, and provide additional insight on how the management team evaluates the business. Our management team uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to make operating and strategic decisions, evaluate performance and comply with indebtedness related reporting requirements. Below are details on this non-GAAP measure and the non-GAAP adjustments that the management team makes in the definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe this non-GAAP measure should be considered along with net income (loss), the most closely related GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations between EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and net income are below, and discussion regarding underlying GAAP results throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA. Stryve defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA. Stryve defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted as necessary for certain items listed below in the table.
The table below provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss) before taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA. Stryve achieved negative Adjusted EBITDA of $(6.3) million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $(5.9) million in three months ended March 31, 2021. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
*Additional Adjustments to EBITDA:
PPP Loan Forgiveness: The Company secured a Paycheck Protection Program loan in April of 2020 which was ultimately fully forgiven in the first quarter of 2021. The forgiveness of $1.6 million of principal and interest resulted in a gain during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This item is one-time and has been adjusted out to provide better comparability of results.
Business Combination Expenses: The Company signed the Business Combination Agreement on January 28, 2021 and prepared an S-4 and S-1 filing in furtherance of the Business Combination. In doing so, the Company incurred significant legal and professional services fees in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Business Combination was ultimately consummated on July 20, 2021. This one-time item has been adjusted out to provide better comparability of results.
Comparability Adjustment - Public vs Private: For the duration of the three month period ended March 31, 2021, Stryve was a private company. The Company consummated the Business Combination on July 20, 2021. As a public company, the Company incurs significant expenses by virtue of being public. These public company expenses affect the comparability of results between the comparable periods shown. Accordingly, these public company expenses have been added to the three months ended March 31, 2021 to adjust the comparative quarter for comparative purposes. These expenses include public filing fees and preparation services, the extra cost of directors & officers insurance for public companies, and board fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. We have historically funded our operations with cash flow from operations, equity capital raises, and note payable agreements from shareholders and private investors, in addition to bank loans. Our principal uses of cash have been debt service, capital expenditures, and investment in working capital to fund operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred an operating loss of $7.2 million and used cash in operations of $14.1 million. As of March 31, 2022, we have working capital of $28.0 million which compares favorably to the $3.2 million working capital we maintained as of December 31, 2021 and have only approximately $0.2 million of indebtedness. On January 11, 2022, we closed a private placement offering in which we raised $35.0 million of gross proceeds to significantly strengthen our liquidity position. We have used a portion of the funds raised for working capital to support near term growth, capital expansion projects, including increasing manufacturing capacity and adding manufacturing capabilities, and general corporate purposes, including marketing and sales initiatives and repaying $6.8 million of debt.
On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with OK Biltong Facility, LLC (the “Buyer”), an entity controlled by Ted Casey, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to which the parties consummated a sale and leaseback transaction (the “Sale and Leaseback Transaction). Under the terms of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company agreed to sell its manufacturing facility and the surrounding property in Madill, Oklahoma (the “Real Property”). The Sale and Leaseback Transaction was consummated on June 4, 2021 for a total purchase price of $7.5 million. The consummation of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction provided the Company with net proceeds (after transaction related costs) of approximately $7.3 million. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to retire debt facilities in an aggregate amount of $6.5 million.
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, on July 20, 2021, the Company raised proceeds of $37.9 million (net of Andina’s transaction costs and expenses). Following the Closing, Stryve retired various debt facilities for an aggregate amount of approximately $11.1 million including principal and interest.
The Company believes that cash from operations as well as the cash proceeds from the Business Combination, net of the $11.1 million of debt reduction described above, combined with the proceeds from the private offering in January 2022 described above, net of the $6.8 million of debt reduction, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are made available.
Cash Flows. The following tables show summary cash flows information for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Net Cash used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities increased $5.8 million from $8.3 million through the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $14.1 million through the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to the considerable investment in net working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2022, with the balance of the increase stemming from the increase in net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Net Cash used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased from $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a $0.6 million increase when comparing the same period year over year. We anticipate increased investment in manufacturing and fulfillment assets moving forward, in order to ensure we have adequate run rate capacities to meet the potential demand for our products.
Net Cash provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities generated $15.5 million more cash for the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 we generated cash from financing activities of $25.2 million which included approximately $32.3 million in net proceeds from the January Offering offset by approximately $6.8 million of cash used to retire debt in the period.

Certain Factors Affecting Our Performance
Stryve’s management believes that the Company’s future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:
Ability to Expand Distribution in both Online and Traditional Retail Channels. Stryve is currently growing its consumer base through paid and organic means both online as well as by expanding its presence in a variety of physical retail distribution channels. Online consumer acquisitions typically occur through the Company’s portfolio of DTC e-commerce websites and Amazon.com. The Company’s online consumer acquisition program includes paid and unpaid social media, search, and display media. Stryve’s products are also sold through a growing number of traditional retail channels where the Company has an opportunity to acquire new consumers. Traditional retail channels include grocery chains, natural food outlets, club stores, convenience stores, and drug stores, all either direct or through distribution partners.
Ability to Acquire and Retain Consumers at a Reasonable Cost. Stryve’s management believes an ability to consistently acquire and retain consumers at a reasonable cost relative to projected life-time value will be a key factor affecting future performance. To accomplish this goal, Stryve intends to strategically allocate advertising spend between online and offline channels favoring digital media, as well as emphasizing more targeted and measurable “direct response” digital marketing spend with advertising focused on increasing consumer awareness and driving trial. Further, we acknowledge that changes to third-party algorithms that may be utilized directly, or indirectly, by Stryve in its advertising efforts may impact the effectiveness of Stryve's advertising which may increase its overall cost to acquire and retain consumers.
Ability to Drive Repeat Usage of Our Products. Stryve accrues substantial economic value from repeat consumers who consistently purchase its products either online or in traditional retail. The pace of Stryve’s growth rate will be affected by the repeat usage dynamics of existing and newly acquired customers. The Company utilizes a number of methods to drive repeat behavior including intelligent e-mail and text campaigns, targeted digital media, and subscribe and save incentives.
Ability to Expand Gross Margins. Stryve’s overall profitability will be impacted by its ability to expand gross margins through effective sourcing of raw materials, managing production yields and drying times, controlling labor and shipping costs, as well as spreading other production-related costs over greater manufacturing volumes. Additionally, Stryve's ability to expand gross margins will be influenced by its revenue channel and customer mix as well as by Stryve's ability to pass price increases to its customers.
Ability to Expand Operating Margins. The Company’s ability to expand operating margins will be impacted by its ability to effectively manage its fixed and variable operating expenses as net sales increase.
27
Ability to Manage Supply Chain and Expand Production In-line with Demand. Stryve’s ability to grow and meet future demand will be affected by its ability to effectively plan for and source inventory from a variety of suppliers located inside and outside the United States. Additionally, efficiently scaling production capacity ahead of growth in net sales will be critical to the Company’s ability to meet future demand without disruption.
Ability to Optimize Key Components of Working Capital. Stryve’s ability to reduce cash burn in the near-term and eventually generate positive cash flow will be partially impacted by the Company’s ability to effectively manage the key components of working capital which have a direct impact on the cash conversion cycle.
Seasonality. Because Stryve is so early in its lifecycle of growth, it is difficult to discern the exact magnitude of seasonality affecting its business. Any evidence of seasonality is not clearly discernable from the Company’s historical growth. However, understanding potential trends in seasonality will be key in Stryve’s management of its expenses, liquidity, and working capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and comprehensive net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during, and as of, the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary and are made based on our historical experience, market trends and on other assumptions and factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances because future events and their effects on our results of operations and value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained. We may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
The critical accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Returns, and Deductions. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company records accounts receivable at their net realizable value, which requires management to estimate the collectability of the Company’s receivables. Judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the credit worthiness of each counterparty and the related aging of past due balances. Management provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectable amounts, in addition to a general provision based on historical experience. Management provides for the customer accommodations based upon a general provision of 11% percentage of sales in addition to known deductions. The estimates are based on collection experience and a review of trade accounts. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and deductions totaled $1,191,552 and $1,236,497, respectively. Total bad debt expense for the three months ended three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $55,309 and $85,598, respectively.

Reporting Unit Analysis
The Company presents a single segment for purposes of financial reporting and prepared its consolidated financial statements upon that basis. The Company considered ASC 350-20-35-35 related to reporting unit determination and the aggregation of components into one reporting unit.
The economic characteristics considered were whether:
1) The nature of the products and services are similar
2) The type of class of customer for products and services are similar
3) The methods used to distribute the products or provide the services are similar
4) The manner in which an entity operates and the nature of those operations is similar
Currently, the Company has one reporting unit due to the similarity of its components when evaluated against the aforementioned economic characteristics.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Stryve’s future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.
Concentration of credit risk. The balance sheet items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The Company continuously evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $250,000 per institution. The Company incurred no losses from such accounts and management considers the risk of loss to be minimal.
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, customer and vendor concentrations in excess of 10% consolidated sales, purchases accounts receivable, and accounts payable are as follows:

Interest rate risk. Stryve is subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowing based on a variable interest rate. Derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements, are not currently but may be used for the purpose of managing fluctuating interest rate exposures that exist from Stryve’s variable rate debt obligations that are expected to remain outstanding. Interest rate changes do not affect the market value of such debt, but could impact the amount of Stryve’s interest payments, and accordingly, Stryve’s future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. Additionally, changes in prevailing market interest rates may affect Stryve’s ability to refinance existing debt or secure new debt financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, management acknowledges that both foreign and domestic central bank actions as well as geopolitical uncertainty and conflict, such as Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine, may have unpredictable effects on the Company's exposure to interest rate risk either directly or indirectly.
Foreign currency risk. Stryve is exposed to changes in currency rates as a result of its revenue generated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Revenue and profit generated by international operations will increase or decrease compared to prior periods as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, the operations that are impacted by foreign currency risk are less than 5% of Stryve’s net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the 52-week period ended December 31, 2021 and therefore, the risk of this is insignificant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, management acknowledges that both foreign and domestic central bank actions as well as geopolitical uncertainty and conflict, such as Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine, may have unpredictable effects on the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk either directly or indirectly.
29
Raw material risk. Stryve’s profitability depends, among other things, on its ability to anticipate and react to raw material costs, primarily beef. The price of beef and other raw materials are subject to many factors beyond Stryve’s control, including general economic conditions, inflation, processing labor shortages, cost of feed, demand, natural disasters, weather and other factors that may affect beef supply chain participants. Changes in the prices of beef and other raw materials have already negatively affected Stryve's results of operations, and any continued or further changes could have a material impact on Stryve’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, management acknowledges that both foreign and domestic central bank actions as well as geopolitical uncertainty and conflict, such as Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, may have unpredictable effects on the Company's exposure to raw material commodity risks.
Inflation risk. Inflation may impact Stryve’s revenue and cost of services and products, Stryve believes the effects of inflation, if any, on its business, financial condition and results of operations have been material to date which management hopes to alleviate through mitigating strategies. However, there can be no assurance that any mitigation strategies management employs will be effective or that its business, financial condition and results of operations will not be materially impacted by continued inflation in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, management acknowledges that both foreign and domestic central bank actions as well as geopolitical uncertainty and conflict, such as Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, may have unpredictable effects on the Company's exposure to inflation risk either directly or indirectly.

There have been no material changes to the factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with select accredited investors (the “2022 PIPE Investors”), relating to the issuance and sale of 2,496,934 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and, in lieu of Class A common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,797,184 shares of Class A common stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”), and accompanying warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,294,118 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price equal to $3.60 and a term of five years (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on January 11, 2022. The Class A common stock and PIPE Warrants were sold at a combined purchase price of $3.40 per share (less $0.0001 per share for PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants). The Company received gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $35 million before deducting offering expenses of $2.7 million. The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
During March 2022, 1,607,184 of the pre-funded warrants issued in the January Offering were exercised for an aggregate of 1,607,146 shares of Class A common stock by virtue of a portion of the pre-funded warrants being exercised on a cashless basis. The exercised pre-funded warrants do not affect the EPS calculation as pre-funded warrants are included in the weighted EPS calculation.
