The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

2. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

Our business is currently conducted by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Artisan , FII, FNM, OFB, GFG, Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc., Gourmeting, Inc., Haley, and Gourmet. Since its incorporation, the Company primarily through FII’s relationship with US Food, Inc.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and equity based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Artisan, Food Innovations, FNM, OFB, GFG, Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc., Gourmeting, Inc., Haley, and Gourmet. All accounts of FD have been included under discontinued operations. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 605-15-05. ASC 605-15-05 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Cost of Goods Sold

We have included in cost of goods sold all costs which are directly related to the generation of revenue. These costs include primarily the cost of food and raw materials, packing and handling, shipping, and delivery costs.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the company did not include the following in the calculation of weighted-average fully-diluted shares outstanding because the result would have been anti-dilutive: 5,719,128 shares underlying convertible notes payable and accrued interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, fully-diluted earnings per share was the same as basic earnings per share because the effect of the exercise of any of the dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive, and the following were not included in the calculation of fully-diluted earnings per share: 5,682,320 shares underlying convertible notes payable and accrued interest; 3,205,000 shares from the exercise of options; and 4,071,199 shares from the exercise of warrants.

On August 7, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the amendment of the employment agreements, effective as of August 13, 2014, of each of the Company’s President and CEO, providing for (i) an award to the President of 75,000 RSUs which vest on January 1, 2015 and 75,000 RSUs which vest on May 1, 2016; and (ii) an award to the CEO of 125,000 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $2.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume or if there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days; and (iii) an award to the CEO of 175,000 RSUs which vest if the 30 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock is $3.00 or above and there is a 50,000 average daily volume for 14 straight trading days.

The Employee RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of the Company were issued either partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses or a combination of both bonus and salary. The Employee RSUs vest according to the following schedule: On each of July 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 600,000 shares vested. On December 31, 2016 an additional 1.2 million shares will vest and an additional 1.6 million shares will vest on July 1, 2017. Vesting is contingent on being an employee of the Company at the time of vesting. In addition, there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no Employee RSU shares can be sold below $2.50 per share. In addition, up to an additional 25,000 shares will vest on a monthly basis. Vesting is contingent on employment by the Company at the time of vesting, and the Company stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days. In addition, there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock including aggregate volume restrictions and no shares can be sold below $2.50 per share.

The Company estimated that the stock-price goals of the Company’s stock price closing above $2.50 per share for 20 straight days have a 90% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 90% of their face value. The Company estimated that the revenue targets had a 100% likelihood of achievement, and these RSUs were valued at 100% of their face value. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of in a straight-line manner over the vesting period of the RSUs. This resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $690,397 related to recognition of RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Fully-diluted earnings per share was the same as basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 because the effect of the exercise of above instruments would be anti-dilutive.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, FASB amended the guidance for recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of certain provisions of this guidance is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Entities should apply these amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair value should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 816).” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based compensation including the tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adoption this ASU. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS

The Fresh Diet

On August 15, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“FD”, the “FD Acquisition”). The FD Acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of an ongoing business in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where the Company was treated as the acquirer and the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their estimated fair values. The total purchase price of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities included cash, inventory, accounts receivable, fixed assets, deposits, deferred revenue, accounts payable and notes payable.

The assets and liabilities of FD were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any difference between the cost of the acquired entry and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $12,645,912, which consisted of the following:

Cash	$	3,000,000
Common Stock – 6,889,937 shares		9,645,912
Total purchase price	$	12,645,912

Tangible assets acquired	$	2,567,223
Liabilities assumed		11,035,724
Net tangible assets		(8,468,501	)
Customer relationships		2,700,000
Trade names		1,800,000
Goodwill		16,614,413
Total purchase price	$	12,645,912

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid the amount of $3,000,000 in cash to certain former shareholders of FD, and cancelled 3,110,063 shares of common stock with a value of $4,354,088; these shares were originally intended to be issued in the acquisition of FD. This resulted in a decrease in the value of the FD acquisition in the net amount of $1,354,088; this amount was credited to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2015.

On February 23, 2016 we closed a transaction to sell 90% of our ownership in FD (the “FD Sale”) to New Fresh Co., LLC, a Florida limited liability company controlled by the former founder of FD who was appointed Interim CEO of FD on February 9, 2016. The consideration to Innovative Food Holdings consisted primarily of a restructuring of our loans, which includes the ability to convert to additional amounts of FD under certain circumstances. See Note 4.

Organic Food Brokers

Pursuant to a purchase agreement, effective June 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interest of Organic Food Brokers, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. OFB is a dedicated foodservice consulting and advisory firm that works closely with companies to access private label and manufacturers’ label food service opportunities with the intent of helping them launch and commercialize new products in the retail foodservice industry and provides emerging food brands distribution and shelf placement access in the major metro markets in the food retail industry.

The purchase price consisted of (i) One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in cash, (ii) a Convertible Promissory Note in the face amount of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars, and (iii) stock options issued by the Company to acquire one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of its common stock over the four year period following the closing date at an exercise price per share of $1.46. The Note is secured by the Company’s grant of a second priority secured interest in the assets of OFB. At March 31, 2016 the remaining principal balance is $100,000.

In addition, the company is contingently liable for certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition date. The Company believes it is likely that these payments will be made, and accordingly has recorded the entire amount of $225,000 as a contingent liability on its balance sheet at acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, payments in the aggregate amount of $0 and $26,250, respectively, have been made under this contingent liability; at March 31, 2016, the balance of the contingent liability was $91,000. The entire cost of the acquisition was $596,349, which was allocated to customer list, an intangible asset with a useful life of 60 months. $29,817 of this amount was amortized during the each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill. The analysis completed in 2015 determined that there was no impairment to goodwill assets related to the Artisan and Haley transactions.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements included in this report requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $47,368 for doubtful accounts receivable at March 31, 2016, and $35,662 at March 31, 2015. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. Generally, these liabilities increased as the price of the Company’s stock increased (with resultant gain), and decreased as the Company’s stock decreased (yielding a loss). In December 2012, the Company removed these liabilities from its balance sheet by reclassifying them as equity.

Income Taxes

The Company has a history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as the Company begins to provide evidence that a continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a basis for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Background

We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), a Delaware corporation, for 500,000 shares of our common stock.

On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska. The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones were met over the next one or two years. Those milestones have been met. The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000. The loan was repaid in November 2013 via the issuance of a loan from Fifth Third Bank which has been paid in full. Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a supplier and had sold products to the Company.

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, effective November 2, 2012, the Company purchased the outstanding assets of The Haley Group, LLC (“Haley”). Pursuant to a purchase agreement, effective June 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interest of Organic Food Brokers, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“OFB”).

Table of Contents

On August 15, 2014, pursuant to a merger agreement (the “Fresh Diet Merger Agreement”), the Company acquired The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“The Fresh Diet” or “FD”) through a reverse triangular merger as the registrant created a subsidiary corporation (FD Acquisition Corp) that merged with and into FD with FD being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price consisted of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $14,000,000. The majority of FD’s current liabilities consisted of approximately $3.8 million of deferred revenues and approximately $2.1 million in short term commercial loans and there were additional ordinary course of business expenses such as trade payables, payroll and sales taxes which varied from month to month. In addition, it had some long term obligations the bulk of which consisted of interest free loans from FD’s former shareholders in the amount of approximately $2.2 million which were not due for three years. Prior to the merger FD had purchased an immaterial amount of product from the Company. FD operated as an independent subsidiary subject to oversight of its board of directors and the Company’s President and CEO. Effective February 23, 2016, the Company closed a transaction to sell 90% of our ownership in FD to New Fresh Co., LLC, a Florida limited liability company controlled by the former founder of FD who was appointed Interim CEO of FD on February 9, 2016. The consideration to Innovative Food Holdings consisted primarily of a restructuring of our loans, which includes the ability to convert to additional amounts of FD under certain circumstances. There is no continuing cash inflows or outflows from or to the discontinued operations.

Transactions With a Major Customer

Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth immediately below and above in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and also in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.

Relationship with U.S. Foods

We have historically sold the majority of our products, $5,568,793 and $4,754,544 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively (69% and 72% of total sales in three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively) through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods, a leading broadline distributor. On January 26, 2015 we executed a contract between Food Innovations, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and U.S. Foods. The term of the Agreement is from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 and provides for up to three (3) automatic annual renewals thereafter if no party gives the other 30 days’ notice of its intent not to renew.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Prior year balances have been recast to reflect the sale of 90% of our interest in The Fresh Diet, Inc. in February 2016. Results of discontinued operations are excluded from the accompanying results of operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. See Note 4 – discontinued operations in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Revenue

Revenue increased by $1,438,493 or approximately 21.9% to $8,015,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $6,576,848 in the prior year.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.

Any changes in the food distribution and specialty foods operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $5,670,738, an increase of $1,007,019 or approximately 21.6% compared to cost of goods sold of $4,663,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cost of goods sold is made up of the following expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $4,030,652; and shipping, delivery, handling, and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $1,640,086. Total gross margin was approximately 29.3% of sales in 2016, compared to approximately 29.1% of sales in 2015. The increase in gross margins from 2015 are primarily attributable to variation in product and revenue mix across our various selling channels.

In 2016, we continued to price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share. We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold will either remain stable or possibly improve slightly.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $114,649 or approximately 5.9% to $1,832,308 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1,946,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31,2016, share based compensation decreased by $144,468, facilities & office expense decreased by $42,148, and professional fees decreased by $35,655, while payroll and related expenses increased by $100,073.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $22,530 or approximately 20.6% to $131,649 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $109,119 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due primarily to increased loan balances, including real estate loans, with our commercial bank. Approximately 29.9% or $39,390 of the interest expense was accrued or paid interest on the company’s notes payable; approximately 70.3% or $92,509 of the interest was a non-cash GAAP accounting charge associated with the amortization of the discounts on the Company’s notes payable. The Company also had $250 of interest income during the period.

Net income from continuing operations

For the reasons above, the Company had a net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $380,646, which is an increase of $523,593 or approximately 366% compared to a net loss of ($142,947) during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes a total of $437,290 in non-cash charges, including amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $65,817, depreciation expense of $36,359, charges for non-cash compensation in the amount of $242,605, and amortization of the discount on notes payable in the amount of $92,509. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included a total of $579,757 in non-cash charges, including amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $75,788, depreciation expense of $17,739, charges for non-cash compensation in the amount of $387,073, and amortization of the discount on notes payable in the amount of $99,157.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at March 31, 2016

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had current assets of $3,999,629, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $1,567,429; trade accounts receivable, net of $1,616,239; inventory of $754,920; and other current assets of $61,041. Also at March 31, 2016, the Company had current liabilities of $4,027,078, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,179,237 (of which $30,000 was payable to related parties); accrued interest of $1,250; current portion of notes payable of $255,591; contingent liabilities of $91,000; and amount due under revolving credit facilities of $1,500,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had cash provided by operating activities of $442,300. This consisted of the Company’s consolidated net income of $4,827,925, reduced by gain on sale of discontinued operations of $7,201,196, and increased by stock based compensation in the amount of $1,271,513 (including $1,028,908 charged to discontinued operations); amortization of discount on notes payable of $92,509; depreciation and amortization of $209,185; and increase in allowance for bad debt of $2,325. The Company’s cash position also increased by $1,240,039 as a result of changes in the components of current assets and current liabilities.

Table of Contents

The Company had cash used in investing activities of $476,778 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which consisted of $470,482 cash disposed in the sale of discontinued operations, and $6,296 for the acquisition of property and equipment. The Company had cash used in financing activities of $535,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, borrowings on revolving credit facilities of $805,959, offset by payments made on revolving credit facilities of $641,831; principal payments on notes payable of $691,419, and principal payments on capital leases of $8,094.

The Company had a net working capital deficit of $27,449 as of March 31, 2016. We generated positive cash flow from operating activities of $442,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We generated negative cash flow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2015, which includes the results of The Fresh Diet. We believe that the sale of The Fresh Diet has returned us to a position of positive cash flow from operations. The Company intends to continue to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines. Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 13 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of new items and enter new markets, acquire new businesses as well as identify new and other consumer and food service oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification.

In February 2016, we completed the sale of The Fresh Diet to New Fresh Co., LLC, a Florida limited liability company controlled by the former founder of FD. See Note 4.

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

2016 Plans

During 2016, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations we plan to attempt to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets in both the consumer and foodservice sector, explore potential acquisition opportunities and continue to extend our focus in the specialty food market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of additional sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. In addition, we are currently exploring the introduction of a variety of new product categories and new product lines, to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.

RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.
