STRYVE FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 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 4,250,000 shares of Class A common stock to private placement investors for aggregate consideration of $42.5 million; (ii) issued 1,357,372 shares of Class A common stock, satisfied by the offset of $10.9 million of principal and accrued interest under outstanding unsecured promissory notes (the "Bridge Notes") issued by Stryve Foods, LLC to certain investors in a private placement on the closing date of the Business Combination, and (iii) 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. In addition, the Company's ordinary shares outstanding prior to the Closing were converted into 3,409,949 shares of Class A common stock of the Company without any action of the holders. The Seller distributed the Seller Consideration Units to its members in accordance with its limited liability company agreement. 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.
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 100% voting control. As the member of Holdings with voting control, the Company has full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the business of Stryve Foods, LLC and to take all actions it deems necessary, appropriate, advisable, incidental, or convenient to accomplish the purposes of Stryve Foods, LLC and, accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. The financial statements of the Company now account for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income taxes. Stryve Foods, LLC has four wholly owned subsidiaries, Biltong Acquisition Company LLC, Braaitime LLC, Protein Brothers, LLC, and Kalahari Snacks, LLC.
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 $23.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash used in operating activities was approximately $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company has historically funded its operations with cash flow from operations, equity capital raises, and note payable agreements from shareholders and private investors, in addition to bank loans. Its principal uses of cash have been debt service, capital expenditures, and investment in working capital to fund operations.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had total current assets of $17.6 million and current liabilities of $5.5 million resulting in working capital of $12.2 million.
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 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 approximately $32.3 million.
On January 28, 2022, the Company repaid approximately $6,841,000 of principal and interest to Origin Bank (the "Origin") under the Line of Credit and the outstanding notes, which represented all of the outstanding indebtedness to Origin.
While Stryve has materially improved its liquidity position through the Business Combination and the Offering, the unpredictable nature of the current COVID-19 pandemic negatively impact the Company's manufacturing, 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 $5.0 million as of June 30, 2022, and its expected cash flows, the Company believes that its available cash, working capital, and management's belief that it can secure non-dilutive debt capital based on the unleveraged nature of the Company's balance sheet should be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements as management has greater latitude over expenses.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, balance sheet, cash flows, and shareholders' equity for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. 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.
7
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and deductions totaled $1,350,080 and $1,236,497, respectively. Total bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $288,623 and $262,888 respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The balance sheet items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts receivable. 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, customer concentrations in excess of 10% consolidated sales are as follows:

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
8
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 thirty to sixty days, although early pay discounts are offered to customers.
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.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value determined using the standard cost method. The Company reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs and write-offs of inventory for obsolete, damaged, or expired inventory. Write-downs and write-offs are included in cost of goods sold.
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,
9
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.
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.
Accordingly, the Company classifies the private warrants issued to Andina's original stockholders (the "Private Warrants") as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.
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 June 30, 2022 there were 21,291,618 dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants, which were anti-dilutive.
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 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax based on its ownership in Andina Holdings, LLC that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain tax attributes resulting from the Business Combination as described below. This is accounted for in conjunction with the methods used to record income tax described above.
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 June 30, 2022, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. We do not expect any significant changes in our unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
10
Tax Receivable Agreement
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 85% of the amount of savings, if any, in U.S. 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 June 30, 2022, there had been no exchanges of Class B common units of Holdings and Class V common stock of the Company for Class A common stock of the Company and, accordingly, no TRA liabilities existed as of such date.
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
The Company’s sole material asset is Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of certain state and local income taxes. Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC owns 100% of Stryve Foods, LLC which is treated as a disregarded entity for the U.S. federal income tax purposes. Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC's net taxable income and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and are included in the members’ tax returns, even though such net taxable income or tax
12
credits may not have actually been distributed. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the non- controlling interests is not reported by the Company in its condensed consolidated financial statements under GAAP. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to differ materially from the statutory rate.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be report and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position over the next twelve months.
The Company currently estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be -0.0687%, which differs from the federal rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefit related to income passed through to non-controlling interest, increase in valuation allowances, and state and local income taxes. The company has reported income tax expense of $28,655 and $36,441 for the three and six months ending June 30, 2022 and no income tax expense in the three and six months ending June 30, 2021.
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 June 30, 2022, there had been no exchanges of Class B common units of Holdings and Class V common stock of
13
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 June 30, 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 not probable and therefore no TRA liability existed as of June 30, 2022.
Note 8 - Shareholders’ Equity
The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”) authorizes the issuance of 610,000,000 shares, of which 400,000,000 shares are Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 200,000,000 shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Warrants
Public Warrants
The Company has outstanding 10,997,500 warrants that were issued prior to the Business Combination, of which 10,800,000 are referred to as public warrants and 197,500 are Private Warrants. Each warrant represents the right to purchase an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50. The warrants expire on July 20, 2026.
The Company may call the public warrants for redemption (but not the Private Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per Public Warrant:
|
● |
at any time while the public warrants are exercisable, |
|
|
|
|
● |
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each public warrant holder, |
|
|
|
|
● |
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to public warrant holders, and |
|
|
|
|
● |
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to shares of Class A common stock underlying such public warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. |
The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption.
Private Warrants
The Company has agreed that so long as the Private Warrants are still held by our initial shareholders or their affiliates, it will not redeem such Private Warrants and will allow the holders to exercise such Private Warrants on a cashless basis (even if a registration statement covering shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective). As of June 30, 2022, there were 197,500 Private Warrants outstanding.
September 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants
On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement with various entities (collectively, the “Investors”) whereby the Company repurchased an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “Repurchase Shares”) from the Investors. The purchase price for the Repurchase Shares was the issuance of an aggregate of 800,000 pre-funded warrants to acquire an equal number of shares of Class A common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”).
During May 2022, the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full.
14
January 2022 Warrants
On January 6, 2022, the Company sold 2,496,934 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, and, in lieu of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,797,184 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 10,294,118 shares of common stock (the “January Offering”). The common stock and warrants were sold at a combined purchase price of $3.40 per share (less $0.0001 per share for pre-funded warrants). Each warrant has an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $3.60 and will expire five years from the date of issuance and may be exercised on a cashless basis if a registration statement registering the shares issuable upon exercise is not effective. The Company received gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $35 million before deducting estimated offering expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 4,997,157 pre-funded warrants issued in the January Offering were exercised for an aggregate of 4,997,146 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 weighted average share calculation as pre-funded warrants are already included in the weighted average share calculation as if they have been exercised.
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).
The Company has reserved a total of 2,564,960 shares of Class A common stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan will be reduced on the date of the grant of any award by the maximum number of shares, if any, with respect to which such award is granted. However, an award that may be settled solely in cash will not deplete the Incentive Plan’s share reserve at the time the award is granted. If (a) an award expires, is canceled, or terminates without issuance of shares or is settled in cash, (b) the Administrator determines that the shares granted under an award will not be issuable because the conditions for issuance will not be satisfied, (c) shares are forfeited under an award, (d) shares are issued under any award and the Company reacquires them pursuant to its reserved rights upon the issuance of the shares, (e) shares are tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or as a result of the net settlement of outstanding stock appreciation rights or (f) shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy federal, state or local tax withholding obligations, then those shares are added back to the reserve and may again be used for new awards under the Incentive Plan. However, shares added back to the reserve pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (f) in the preceding sentence may not be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.
15
Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation
The Company's stock-based awards that result in compensation expense consist of restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock awards (RSAs). As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 1,175,067 shares available for grant under its stock plans. As of June 30, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested stock-based compensation awards was $4.1 million is expected to be recognized over the next four years. RSUs generally vest over three years and RSAs generally vest from one to four years.

Stock Based Compensation Expense
Share based compensation costs associated with RSUs and RSAs grants are recorded as a separate component of Selling Expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Share-based compensation expense for service-based awards that contain a graded vesting schedule is recognized net of estimated forfeitures for plan participants on a straight-line basis.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2022:

Note 11 - Related Party Transactions
Sale and Leaseback. On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with OK Biltong Facility, LLC (“Buyer”), an entity controlled by 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”) of the Company’s manufacturing facility and the surrounding property in Madill, Oklahoma (the “Real Property”) for a total purchase price of $7,500 thousand.
In connection with the consummation of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Buyer pursuant to which the Company leased back the Real Property from Buyer for an initial term of twelve (12) years unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company’s financial obligations include base rent of approximately $60,000 per month, which rent will increase on an annual basis at two percent (2%) over the initial term and two-and-a-half percent (2.5%) during any extension term. The Company is also responsible for all monthly expenses related to the leased facility, including insurance premiums, taxes and other expenses, such as utilities. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has three (3) options to extend the term of the lease by five (5) years for each such option and a one-time right and option to purchase the Real Property at a price that escalates over time and, if Buyer decides to sell the Real Property, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase the Real Property on the same terms offered to any third party.
Management determined that the sale and leaseback transaction contained continuing involvement and thus used the financing method consistent with ASC 842. The transfer did not qualify as a sale, hence it is considered a "failed" sale and both parties account for it as a financing transaction. Accordingly, a financing obligation related to the operating lease in the amount of the sale price ($7,500 thousand) has been booked and the corresponding assets on the balance sheet are maintained. Under the finance method, rental payments are applied as amortization and/or interest expense on the financing obligation as appropriate using an assumed interest rate. The Company is accounting for these as interest only payments because the Company's incremental cost to borrow when applied to the financing obligation is greater than the rental payments under the Lease Agreement. The Company recognized interest expense of $359,986 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Other. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased $135,813 in goods from an entity controlled by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Related Party Manufacturer"). There was no balance due to the Related Party Manufacturer at June 30, 2022.
Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On March 29, 2022, one of the investors in Stryve’s January 2022 private offering sent the Company a letter alleging that the Company has breached “the representations and warranties the Company” made to investors in the definitive agreement. Although Stryve intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations, Stryve cannot at this time predict whether any litigation will be filed, predict the likely outcome of any future litigation, reasonably determine either the probability of a material adverse result or any estimated range of potential exposure, or reasonably determine how this matter or any future matters might impact our business, our financial condition, or our results of operations, although such impact, including the costs of defense, as well as any judgements or indemnification obligations, among other things, could be materially adverse to us.
Stryve has received a letter from a person purporting to be counsel to certain investors in Stryve LLC and the Seller, which letter alleges claims against Stryve, Stryve LLC, and the Seller concerning the distribution of Stryve’s equity by the Seller in connection with the Business Combination Agreement by which Stryve acquired Stryve LLC. Stryve believes that such allegations are without merit and intends to defend against any claims that may be filed on account of such allegations. Stryve is not able at this time to quantify its exposure for any possible damages arising out of any such claims that may arise from these allegations.
The Company may be a party to routine claims brought against it in the ordinary course of business. After consulting with 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.
Registration Rights Agreements
The Company is a party to various registration rights agreements with certain stockholders where it may be required to register securities for such stockholders in certain circumstances.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.
Share Exchange. On July 20, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,014,012 shares of its Class A common stock and cancelled an equal number of shares of Class V common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s existing Exchange Agreement dated as of July 20, 2021 that permits holders of the Company’s Class V common stock and Class B Units to tender a set of one share of Class V common stock and one Holdings Class B Unit and for redemption for one share of Class A common stock. 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.
Nasdaq Deficiency Letter. On August 4, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s Class A common stock has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Class A common stock, and its Class A common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SNAX” at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been given 180 calendar days, or until January 31, 2023, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). If at any time before January 31, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by January 31, 2023, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its Class A common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).

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, e-retailers, and other retail outlets, as well as directly to consumers through its e-commerce websites.
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.
21
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.
Supply Chain Challenges & Increased Cost Environment
Through the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had been successful at avoiding disruptions to our supply chain and operations through these measures and maintained continuity of supply for its customers. However, beginning 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 half of 2022. We believe that many of the supply chain disruptions we experienced in our operations are temporary but may persist in the near term.
In the first half of 2022, we experienced a more expensive operating environment throughout the business, including higher prices for raw materials, packaging, beef, transportation, storage, services, labor, and advertising than we the comparable period in 2021. We expect these inflationary pressures to continue throughout at least 2022, which may continue to negatively impact our gross margins. We continue to track new developments affecting these inflationary pressures 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 and second 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.
Significant Demand with Execution Challenges
From a tonnage perspective, the second quarter of 2022 was by far the largest in the Company's history. While the achievement of $10.9 million in net sales in the quarter shows nearly 51% sequential growth over Q1'22, it fails to illustrate that our tonnage output was nearly three times that of the prior quarter. These outsized production and fulfillment volumes in Q2 2022 were primarily attributable to a limited time retailer specific savings event which placed our products in chain-wide distribution for a limited period of time tied to the event. This nationwide sales event began and ended within the second quarter of 2022, which not only presented a price mix challenge to our gross sales and gross margins, but also resulted in over $3.0 million in coupon redemptions and other deductions which were tied to the event. While our price-mix-affected gross revenue was approximately $14.9 million for the quarter, our net revenue was $10.9 million. This dynamic had a compounding effect on our gross margins for the quarter as well.
Further, we faced several challenges in our execution of this brief, yet outsized, demand spike which negatively affected our manufacturing yields and in turn, our gross margins. Additionally, these production and fulfillment challenges led to short-term supply gaps in our wider distribution network which resulted in lower than target in-stock percentages at retail. While the deleterious effects of these execution challenges have been significant, we believe they are temporary in nature. With the non-normal demand spike behind us, we have been able to quickly return to a more normalized production cadence allowing for improved yields and quickly recovering in-stock percentages at retail.
Change in Management and Solidifying Strategy
In the second quarter of 2022, Stryve announced a leadership change with Chris Boever stepping in as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company. With this change in leadership, management has thoughtfully reviewed the business, strategy, near-term prospects, and it's previously discussed path to profitability. From this, management has identified certain one-time write-downs for assets that are non-core to the go-forward plan as well as identified necessary accruals related to actions to be taken to reorganize the business and it's objectives in line with the strategic direction that Mr. Boever has for the enterprise. These charges have largely been incurred in these second quarter results. For comparability of the financial statements, we have identified many of these charges as non-GAAP pro-forma adjustments in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings per Share, which are reconciled to the nearest GAAP figure below.
22
Optimizing Spend and Reducing Losses
While we made material progress in reducing our net loss in the first quarter of 2022, the overall impact of the limited-time retailer specific savings event and the reorganization-related charges negatively affected our net loss for the period. While the price increases we took yielded improvements in our average selling price in Q2'22 (excluding sales related to the savings event), the impact to profitability was more than offset by the aggregate price mix (including sales related to the savings event), the aforementioned execution challenges, and one-time charges. That said, we firmly believe that certain key factors influencing our Q2'22 net loss were temporary in nature and will not recur in the future. Accordingly, despite this quarter's increased net loss, we are still making solid progress on our cost mitigation strategies. We have examined every area of spending throughout our business and believe we have identified ways to drive efficiencies, eliminate unnecessary expense, and focus on the highest and best use of each dollar. Moving forward, we believe our optimized spending plan will begin to materially benefit from portfolio-wide price increases that will be evident in our third-quarter financial reporting. 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 $3.5 million from $7.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $10.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 representing growth of 48.9% for the comparable periods. The primary driver of the increase in net sales was the nationwide limited-time savings event with the one of the nation's largest retailers. While this event presented several challenges for the business as described above, we believe the consumer response was positive with sell-through rates far in excess of our expectations. Given the long-term importance of driving consumer awareness and trial of our products, we believe that the household penetration afforded by this event will benefit the business in all of our channels of trade.

As we have previously discussed, during 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 half 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. Accordingly, we have seen softness in our DTC business relative to prior periods.
We added a significant number of new doors of distribution in the year ended December 31, 2021 across most of our brands, which contributed to our growth year-over-year. Further, we garnered expanded distribution with a number of its existing retail relationships. Most significantly, however, the significant growth in our net sales stem from the limited-time savings event with one of the nation's largest retailers that occurred in the quarter and placed our products in full-chain distribution on an in-and-out basis. We acknowledge that the previously discussed execution challenges hindered our ability to fully service all of the retail orders that should have converted to net sales in the second quarter of 2022. With the driving force behind many of these execution related challenges now behind us, we are utilizing our excess capacity to quickly work through this backlog of orders to recover our in-stock percentages.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $11.6 million from $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $15.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily driven by increased sales volume followed by significant increases in direct labor and input costs including packaging, and other ingredients. Overall commodity beef prices have trended favorably throughout the second quarter of 2022, compared to prior recent quarters, and are generally in line with what we experienced the prior year period. However, as previously discussed, certain execution issues gave rise to yield challenges which caused our effective meat cost to worsen year-over-year.
Gross Profit (Loss). Gross profit (loss) decreased $8.0 million from $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $(4.4) million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was negative 40.4% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 48.7% in the first quarter of 2021. A few primary factors contribute to this performance:

Operating Expenses.
Operating Loss. Operating loss increased by $11.0 million from $5.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $16.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and is primarily attributable to a material decrease in gross profit stemming from unprofitable sales relating to the limited-time savings event occurring in the second quarter of 2022 as well as significant one-time charges as described above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.9 million from $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. While we relied, in part, on debt capital to support the business throughout 2021, we significantly deleveraged the business in the first half 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 $10.7 million from $5.6 million in three months ended June 30, 2021 to $16.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, with the increase primarily attributable to a decrease in gross profit as well as significant one-time charges occurring in the second quarter of 2022, as described above.

Net sales. Net sales increased by $4.2 million from $14.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $18.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 representing growth of 29.5% for the comparable periods. The primary drivers of the increased sales of Stryve’s products to existing accounts, and net new sales related to additional distribution secured by Stryve in 2021 at a number of key retailers. Throughout the six months ended June 30, 2022 Stryve has secured new distribution with several marquee customers in the club, mass, grocery, and convenience channels. Further, Stryve garnered expanded distribution with a number of its existing retail relationships. Overall, the largest contributor of growth stems from the limited-time savings event which resulted in significant in-and-out sales volume in the second quarter of 2022. This growth has been partially offset by a pullback in our e-commerce sales stemming from our reduction in digital media spending. Further, supply chain and execution challenges in the first half of 2022 have hindered our ability to effectively service several retail and private label accounts leaving unmet demand in the period.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $13.7 million from $7.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 ,to $21.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily driven by increased sales volume followed by increased direct labor and commodity input costs, primarily beef. On the whole, overall commodity beef prices have increased significantly year-over-year. However, throughout the six-month period ending June 2022, meat prices have consistently trended favorably relative to their peak in the second half of 2021. Notwithstanding this trend in beef pricing, the aforementioned execution related yield challenges largely muted the impact of this improvement.
Gross Profit (Loss). Gross profit (loss) fell $9.6 million from a $6.3 million profit in the first six months of 2021 to $3.3 million gross profit loss in the first six months of 2022. As a percent of net sales, gross profit (loss) for the first six months of 2022 was negative 18% which represents a significant decline from 44.1% in the first six months of 2021. A few primary factors contribute to this performance:
Operating Expenses.
Operating Loss. Operating loss increased by $11.5 million from ($11.6) million through the first six months of 2021 to ($23.1) million through the first six months of 2022 and is primarily attributable to decreased gross profit on sales.and certain significant one-time restructuring charges occurring in the first half of 2022, as described above.
27
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million from $(1.9) million through the first six months of 2021 to $(.4) million through the first six months of 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 for the comparable periods.
Net Loss. Net loss increased $12.3 million from $(11.3) million in six months ended June 30, 2021 to $(23.6) million six months ended June 30, 2022 and is primarily attributable to a decrease in gross profit on sales and certain significant one-time restructuring charges occurring in the first half of 2022, as described above.
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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings per Share to make operating and strategic decisions, evaluate performance and comply with indebtedness related reporting requirements. Below are details on these non-GAAP measures and the non-GAAP adjustments that the management team makes in the definition of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings per Share. We believe these non-GAAP measure should be considered along with net income (loss), the most closely related GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations between EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and net income (loss) 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 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA. Stryve achieved negative Adjusted EBITDA of $(17.6) million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. compared to $(10.2) million in the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2021. This item is one-time and has been adjusted out of Other Income (Expense) to provide better comparability of results.
28
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 June 30, 2021. The Business Combination was ultimately consummated on July 20, 2021. These non-recurring expenses have been adjusted out of Selling and Marketing Expense to provide better comparability of results.
Comparability Adjustment - Public vs Private: For the duration of the three-month period ended June 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 June 30, 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.
Severances and One-Time Employee Related Costs: The Company incurred significant one-time charges related to employees, including severances and future one-time payments, in the second quarter of 2022. These non-recurring expenses have been adjusted out of Salaries & Wages to provide better comparability of results.
One-Time Reserves and Write Downs: As part of management's go-forward plan, certain non-core assets have been written down or reserved against. This includes the write down of approximately $1.5M of pre-paid media, reserves for non-core SKUs, and other non-recurring items. These non-recurring expenses have been adjusted out to provide better comparability of results.
Adjusted Earnings per Share. Stryve defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as it's Basic/Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share adjusted as necessary for certain items listed below in the table.
The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is Basic/Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred an operating loss of $23.1 million and used cash in operations of $20.4 million. As of June 30, 2022, we have working capital of $12.2 million which compares favorably to the $3.2 million working capital we maintained as of December 31, 2021, and have only approximately $0.2
29
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.
We are currently under a letter of intent to secure in excess of $20M in non-dilutive, committed borrowing capacity through a combination of facilities to augment our liquidity, as needed, through the execution of management's plan. The Company believes that cash from operations, our working capital, and our borrowing ability (given the lack of debt against our assets) 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net Cash used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities increased $5.0 million from $15.4 million through the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $20.4 million through the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in net losses paired with an investment in net working capital during the six months ended June 30, 2022 ,as compared to the prior year period.
Net Cash used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased from $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a $1.8 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 $9.0 million more cash for the Company in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period a year ago. In the first half of 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 of our products. 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.
31
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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and deductions totaled $1,350,080 and $1,236,497, respectively. Total bad debt expense for the three months ended three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $288,623 and $262,888, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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.
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
33
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.
