NOTE A - BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

WSO Investments, Inc. (“WSO”), a Delaware Corporation, was formed in April 2012 to acquire all of the equity of Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc. (“Wholesome”), a Delaware Corporation. Wholesome was formed by Edward Billington & Son, Ltd. (“Billington”) and Imperial Sugar Company (“Imperial”) in June 2001 to import, market, distribute, and sell organic sugars, unrefined specialty sugars, and related products. Operations began on July 1, 2001. On November 23, 2015, Wholesome acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding units of TruSweets, LLC (“TruSweets”), a producer of organic and all natural candy and related products based in the United States. WSO, Wholesome and TruSweets are collectively referred to as the Company.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company made the decision to discontinue operations of its candy segment of the business. The results of the candy segment are not considered material and as such, have not been presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows as of November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019 and for the quarters then ended.

 

In December 2019 the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Sucro Can International, LLC (“Sucro”) to form WS Services, LLC (“WS Services”). As of November 27, 2020 the Company had a 50% interest in the partnership. The investment is accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

In early 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged globally and the financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result. Although it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of this outbreak and the resulting financial impact, the Company may be adversely affected by the risks and market uncertainty related to the recent outbreak. Further, as a result of COVID-19 there have been travel restrictions and closures mandated by federal, state and local authorities which could negatively impact the Company’s operations. While the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain, the Company does not anticipate any resulting negative impacts.

 

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and related notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying those principles, which can materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized as follows:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include WSO Investments, Inc., Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc., and TruSweets, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments over which it has significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting.

 

Estimates

 

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

Fiscal Year-End

 

The Company has adopted a fifty-two/fifty-three week fiscal year. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations and cash flows are for the quarters ended November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019.

 

Cash

 

The Company defines cash as cash on deposit and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on a review of the customer accounts with consideration given to historical performance, trends, and credit exposure.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the physical or economic life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Gains or losses on the disposition of assets sold or retired are recognized in income and the related asset and accumulated depreciation accounts are adjusted accordingly. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Computer equipment and software and motor vehicles have a three year estimated useful life, plant and equipment has a ten year estimated useful life, office equipment has a five year useful life, and office furniture has a five to seven year useful life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

 

Equity Method Investment

 

In December 2019, WSI entered into a partnership agreement with Sucro Can International, LLC to form WS Services, LLC with the purpose to manage and operate a bonded warehouse located in Lackawanna, New York. As of November 27, 2020, the Company had a 50% interest in the partnership.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in its unconsolidated affiliate, which we do not control but have the ability to exercise significant influence over, using the equity method investment. Under this method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses and distributions received.

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition are recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition. Purchase consideration in excess of the aggregate fair value of acquired net assets is allocated to identifiable intangible assets and any remaining excess purchase consideration is allocated to goodwill. The total amount of goodwill arising from an acquisition may be assigned to one or more reporting units in situations where the acquired business consists of multiple operating segments. The method of assigning goodwill to reporting units shall be reasonable and supportable and applied in a consistent manner and may involve estimates and assumptions.

Impairment testing is performed annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event indicating that the fair value of the entity might be less than its carrying amount. When a triggering event occurs, an entity has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative test is needed. If that assessment demonstrates it is not more likely than not that impairment exists, no further testing is required. On the other hand, if impairment of goodwill is more likely than not, a quantitative test is required that compares the fair value of the entity with its carrying amount.

 

The estimated useful life to amortize intangible assets is as follows:

 

Customer relationships - ingredient 12 years
Customer relationships - retail 15 years
Trade names 20 years
Non-compete 4 years

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized debt issuance costs are shown as a reduction of long-term debt.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or its disposition. Measurements of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use are based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s line of credit approximates fair value due to the stated interest rates approximating market rates.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various claims, pending legal actions for product liability and other damages and other matters arising out of the conduct of the business. The Company believes, based on current knowledge and consultation with counsel, that the outcome of such claims and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

As of November 27, 2020, the Company had obligations to purchase $30,446 of raw materials through October 2021 however it is unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of such payments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption was made on all contracts with customers that are not complete at the date of initial application. The Company’s adoption of ASC 606 did not result in an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of September 1, 2018 but it increased disclosure requirements with respect to its revenues from contracts with customers.

Application of ASC 606

 

The Company accounts for a contract or purchase order when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

The Company’s contracts with customers generally represent a single performance obligation related to the fulfillment of customer orders for the purchase of its products, which include organic sugars, unrefined specialty sugars, and related products as well as organic and all natural candy and related products. While unit prices are generally fixed, the Company provides variable consideration to customers, typically in the form of early payment discounts and promotional discounts which are estimated using the most likely and expected value methods of estimation, respectively, as defined within ASC 606. Such discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenue is recorded. The Company also accepts returns from customers for goods having quality defects or for any other reasons such as disagreements or improper delivery. When revenue is recorded, estimates of returns are made based on historical return information and recorded as a reduction of revenue. Under ASC 606, the Company is also required to present a refund liability and a return asset within the consolidated financial statements to account for the customer’s right of return. There have been no significant refund liabilities and return assets recorded as of November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019.

 

Revenues for all product sales are recognized at a point in time when control of the product passes to the customer, which is upon shipment, unless otherwise specified within the customer contract or on the purchase order as upon delivery. This determination is based on applicable shipping terms, as well as the consideration of other indicators, including timing of when the Company has a present right to payment, when physical possession of products is transferred to customers, when the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and any provisions in contracts regarding customer acceptance.

 

Practical Expedients and Policy Elections

 

The Company elected certain permitted practical expedients and made accounting policy elections upon adoption of ASC 606:

 

1.     The Company elected to use the portfolio approach practical expedient in applying ASC 606. Such expedient allows the Company to apply ASC 606 to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics as it reasonably expects that the effects on the consolidated financial statements of applying ASC 606 to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within that portfolio.

 

2.     The Company's contracts with customers generally contain payment terms ranging from cash before delivery to 60 days. Since the standard payment term is less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.

 

3.     The Company’s contracts are of durations that are less than one year. Accordingly, the Company elected the practical expedient of recognizing incremental costs of obtaining contracts (i.e. commissions) as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

 

4.     The Company made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity, rather than a separate performance obligation.

Disaggregation of Revenues

 

The Company’s revenues by type of customer for the quarters ended November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019 are as follows:

 

   Q1 2021   Q1 2020 
Ingredients  $11,323   $11,421 
Private label   26,853    21,793 
Branded   16,199    16,051 
           
Total sales   54,375    49,265 
           
Discount, returns and allowances   1,955    2,521 
           
Net sales  $52,420   $46,744 

 

Advertising

 

Consumer targeted advertising costs, which are included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred and were $397 and $77 for the quarters ended November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019, respectively.

 

Sales Incentives

 

Certain sales incentives, which include customer promotional activities such as off invoice promotions and early payment discounts, are recorded as reductions of sales at the time revenue is recognized. Such allowances, where applicable, are estimated based on the anticipated volume and promotional spending with specific customers. Sales incentives incurred were $1,562 and $1,642 for the quarters ended November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation from its incentive units in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires that share-based payment awards be recognized in the statement of income at grant-date fair value. For awards of incentive units, we recognize compensation expense over the vesting period, 5 years or immediately upon a change in control, based on the grant-date fair value.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be due. Uncertain tax positions are recognized only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company classifies both interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations. As of November 27, 2020 and November 29, 2019, the Company recognized no uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.8% for the quarter ended November 27, 2020 and 27.3% for the quarter ended November 29, 2019.

 

Treasury Stock

 

The Company uses the cost method to record treasury stock purchases whereby the entire cost of the acquired shares of the common stock is recorded as treasury stock (at cost). When the Company subsequently reissues these shares, proceeds in excess of cost upon the issuance of treasury shares are credited to additional paid in capital, while any deficiency is charged to retained earnings.

Evaluation of Going Concern

 

The Company performed an evaluation of its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. No going concern issues were identified.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent events are evaluated through March 16, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
