NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Company Overview
Blue Star Foods Corp. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) is an international seafood company based in Miami, Florida that imports, packages and sells refrigerated pasteurized crab meat, and other premium seafood products. The Company’s main operating business, John Keeler & Co., Inc. (“Keeler & Co.”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in May 1995. The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company’s current source of revenue is importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh, and steelhead salmon produced under the brand name Little Cedar Farms for distribution in Canada.
On November 26, 2019, Keeler & Co., a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Coastal Merger Agreement”) with Coastal Pride Company, Inc., a South Carolina corporation, Coastal Pride Seafood, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Subsidiary” and, upon the effective date of the Merger, the “Surviving Company” or “Coastal Pride”), and The Walter F.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021 for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Advances to Suppliers and Related Party
In the normal course of business, the Company may advance payments to its suppliers, inclusive of Bacolod Blue Star Export Corp. (“Bacolod”), a related party based in the Philippines. These advances are in the form of prepayments for products that will ship within a short window of time. In the event that it becomes necessary for the Company to return products or adjust for quality issues, the Company is issued a credit by the vendor in the normal course of business and these credits are also reflected against future shipments.
As
of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the balance due from the related party for future shipments was approximately $
| 9 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as such, we record revenue when our customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh, and steelhead salmon produced under the brand name Little Cedar Farms for distribution in Canada. The Company sells primarily to food service distributors. The Company also sells its products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.
To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
The Company elected an accounting policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. Consideration payable to a customer is recorded as a reduction of the arrangement’s transaction price, thereby reducing the amount of revenue recognized, unless the payment is for distinct goods or services received from the customer.
Lease Accounting
We account for our leases under ASC 842, Leases, which requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.
We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2021. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the lease. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.
When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
| 11 |
The Company reviews its indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed an assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk
We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through our normal operating activities. Our primary focus is to monitor our exposure to, and manage, the economic foreign currency exchange risks faced by our operations and realized when we exchange one currency for another. Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar as their functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates affect our financial statements.

Note 10. COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President declared a National Emergency concerning the disease. Additionally, in March 2020, state governments in the Company’s geographic operating area began instituting preventative shut down measures in order to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of the geographical areas in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic for 2020 and into 2021. The Company’s business not being deemed essential resulted in decreased financial performance that may not be indicative of future financial results. Government-mandated closures of businesses and shipping delays have affected our sales and inventory purchases. The Company continues to face uncertainty and increased risks concerning its employees, customers, supply chain and government regulation. Although the COVID-19 vaccine is currently available to the population in the U.S., cases of the COVID-19 virus continue to raise due to variants of the virus and the long-term effects of this pandemic are yet to be seen. The Company’s sales and supply may continue to be adversely affected due to COVID-19 and plans continue to be developed to ensure a prompt response is given to address the effects of the pandemic.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021, as updated in subsequent filings we have made with the SEC that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report.
Basis of Presentation
The following discussion highlights our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Overview
We are an international seafood company that imports, packages and sells refrigerated pasteurized crab meat, and other premium seafood products. Our current source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh. The crab meat which we import is processed in 13 plants throughout Southeast Asia. Our suppliers are primarily via co-packing relationships, including two affiliated suppliers. We sell primarily to food service distributors. We also sell our products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.
In November 2019, we acquired Coastal Pride, a seafood company, based in Beaufort, South Carolina, that imports pasteurized and fresh crabmeat sourced primarily from Mexico and Latin America and sells premium branded label crabmeat throughout North America
In June 2021, we acquired Taste of BC Aquafarms, Inc., a family-owned and operated land-based recirculating aquaculture systems salmon farming operation, based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada which sells its steelhead salmon to distributors in Canada.
| 20 |
COVID-19
The current COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business operations, including disruptions and restrictions on our ability to travel or to distribute our seafood products, as well as temporary closures of our facilities. Any such disruption or delay may impact our sales and operating results. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many other countries. As a result of COVID-19, the Company has experienced a significant decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and continues to have losses in the six months ended June 30, 2021 although such losses have significantly decreased in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2020.
As a result of the business interruption experienced to date, management has taken steps to reduce expenses across all areas of its operations, including payroll, marketing, sales and warehousing expenses. The extent to which we are affected by COVID-19 will largely depend on future developments and restrictions which may disrupt interactions with customers, suppliers, staff and advisors which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental and business responses to the pandemic and the impact on the global economy, our customers’ demand for our products, and our ability to provide our products. We continue to monitor the effects of the pandemic on our business.

The Company has historically financed its operations through the cash flow generated from operations, capital investment, notes payable and a working capital line of credit.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve, is highly uncertain and subject to change.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $2,573,000 of proceeds from a common stock private offering.
Working Capital Line of Credit
Keeler & Co. entered into a $14,000,000 revolving line of credit with ACF on August 31, 2016, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the prior line of credit, pay new loan costs of approximately $309,000 and provide additional working capital to Keeler & Co. This facility was amended on November 18, 2016, June 19, 2017, October 16, 2017, September 19, 2018, November 8, 2018, July 29, 2019, November 26, 2019 and May 7, 2020 and was secured by all of the assets of Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride. The interest rate under the line of credit was equal to the greater of (i) the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 9.25%, (ii) the prime rate plus 6.0%, and (iii) a fixed rate of 6.5%. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate was 12.48%.
On March 31, 2021, Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride entered into a loan and security agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Lighthouse pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Lighthouse made available to Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride (together, the “Borrowers”) a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit for a term of thirty-six months, renewable annually for one-year periods thereafter. Amounts due under the line of credit are represented by a revolving credit note issued to Lighthouse by the Borrowers.
| 23 |
The advance rate of the revolving line of credit is 85% with respect to eligible accounts receivable and the lower of 60% of the Borrowers’ eligible inventory, or 80% of the net orderly liquidation value, subject to an inventory sublimit of $2,500,000. The inventory portion of the loan will never exceed 50% of the outstanding balance. Interest on the line of credit is the prime rate (with a floor of 3.25%), plus 3.75%. The Borrowers will pay Lighthouse a facility fee of $50,000 in three instalments of $16,667 in March, April and May 2021 and will pay an additional facility fee of $25,000 on each anniversary of March 31, 2021.
The line of credit is secured by a first priority security interest on all the assets of each Borrower. Pursuant to the terms of a guaranty agreement, the Company guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers under the note and John Keeler, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, provided a personal guaranty of up to $1,000,000 to Lighthouse.
The Borrowers utilized $784,450 of the Lighthouse revolving line of credit to repay all the outstanding indebtedness owed to the ACF as of March 31, 2021. As a result, all obligations owed to ACF were satisfied and the loan agreement with ACF was terminated. The outstanding balance owed to Lighthouse as of June 30, 2021 amounted to $631,958.
John Keeler Promissory Notes

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of June 30, 2021, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were:
● The Company’s lack of an audit committee with a financial expert and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process; and
● inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, including lack of personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function of the Company.
Management believes that the material weaknesses that were identified did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that these weaknesses, if not properly remediated, could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
| 25 |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to further initiate, the following measures, subject to the availability of required resources:
● We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and hire personnel resources with technical accounting expertise within the accounting function;
● As of May 5, 2021, we hired a chief financial officer who is also the principal financial officer for SEC filing purposes; and
● On July 19, 2021, the Company established an audit committee and has determined that Jeffrey Guzy is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations.
Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no pending legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Except as set forth below, there were no sales of equity securities sold during the period covered by this Report that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company.

| Company Overview | Note 1. Company Overview
Blue Star Foods Corp. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) is an international seafood company based in Miami, Florida that imports, packages and sells refrigerated pasteurized crab meat, and other premium seafood products. The Company’s main operating business, John Keeler & Co., Inc. (“Keeler & Co.”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in May 1995. The Company was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company’s current source of revenue is importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh, and steelhead salmon produced under the brand name Little Cedar Farms for distribution in Canada.
On November 26, 2019, Keeler & Co., a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Coastal Merger Agreement”) with Coastal Pride Company, Inc., a South Carolina corporation, Coastal Pride Seafood, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Subsidiary” and, upon the effective date of the Merger, the “Surviving Company” or “Coastal Pride”), and The Walter F. Lubkin, Jr. Irrevocable Trust dated January 8, 2003 (the “Trust”), Walter F. Lubkin III (“Lubkin III”), Tracy Lubkin Greco (“Greco”) and John C. Lubkin (“Lubkin”), constituting all of the shareholders of Coastal Pride Company, Inc. immediately prior to the Coastal Merger (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Coastal Merger Agreement, Coastal Pride Company, Inc. merged with and into the Acquisition Subsidiary, with the Acquisition Subsidiary being the surviving company (the “Coastal Merger”).
Coastal Pride is a seafood company, based in Beaufort, South Carolina, that imports pasteurized and fresh crabmeat sourced primarily from Mexico and Latin America and sells premium branded label crabmeat throughout North America.
On April 27, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TOBC, and Steve Atkinson and Janet Atkinson (the “Sellers”), the owners of all of the capital stock of TOBC (the “TOBC Shares”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the TOBC Shares from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of CAD$4,000,000 for: (i) an aggregate of CAD$1,000,000 in cash (with each Seller receiving a pro rata amount based upon the total number of TOBC Shares held by such Seller); (ii) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of CAD$200,000 (the “Notes”) with the principal amount of each Seller’s Note based on such Seller’s pro rata portion of the TOBC Shares); and (iii) shares of the Company’s common stock (representing CAD$2,800,000 of shares based on USD$ per share) with each Seller receiving a pro rata portion of such shares based upon the total number of TOBC Shares held by such Seller.
On June 24, 2021, the Purchase Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”), to increase the Purchase Price up to an aggregate of CAD$5,000,000 and the acquisition closed. Pursuant to the Amendment, on August 3, 2021, an aggregate of shares of the Company’s common stock (representing CAD$1,000,000 of additional shares calculated at USD$per share) was put in escrow until the 24-month anniversary of the closing. If, within 24 months of the closing, TOBC has cumulative revenue of at least CAD$1,300,000, the Sellers will receive all of the escrowed shares. If, as of the 24-month anniversary of the closing, TOBC has cumulative revenue of less than CAD$1,300,000, the Sellers will receive a prorated number of the escrowed shares based on the actual cumulative revenue of TOBC as of such date.
On June 24, 2021, the Company consummated the acquisition of TOBC. As a result of the acquisition, TOBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
TOBC is a land-based recirculating aquaculture systems salmon farming operation, based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, which sells its steelhead salmon to distributors in Canada.

| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021 for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Advances to Suppliers and Related Party
In the normal course of business, the Company may advance payments to its suppliers, inclusive of Bacolod Blue Star Export Corp. (“Bacolod”), a related party based in the Philippines. These advances are in the form of prepayments for products that will ship within a short window of time. In the event that it becomes necessary for the Company to return products or adjust for quality issues, the Company is issued a credit by the vendor in the normal course of business and these credits are also reflected against future shipments.
As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the balance due from the related party for future shipments was approximately $1,300,000. No new purchases have been made from Bacolod during the six months ended June 30, 2021. A permits renewal payment of $8,000 was made to Bacolod during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue related to inventories purchased from Bacolod represented approximately $126 and $238,000 of total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as such, we record revenue when our customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh, and steelhead salmon produced under the brand name Little Cedar Farms for distribution in Canada. The Company sells primarily to food service distributors. The Company also sells its products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.
To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
The Company elected an accounting policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. Consideration payable to a customer is recorded as a reduction of the arrangement’s transaction price, thereby reducing the amount of revenue recognized, unless the payment is for distinct goods or services received from the customer.
Lease Accounting
We account for our leases under ASC 842, Leases, which requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.
We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2021. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the lease. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.
When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheets.
Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows:
The table below presents the remaining lease term and discount rates for operating leases.
Maturities of lease liabilities as of June 30, 2021, were as follows:
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company reviews its indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed an assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk
We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through our normal operating activities. Our primary focus is to monitor our exposure to, and manage, the economic foreign currency exchange risks faced by our operations and realized when we exchange one currency for another. Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar as their functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates affect our financial statements.

| Going Concern | Note 3. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $915,231, has an accumulated deficit of $14,454,008 and working capital deficit of $1,128,803, with the current liabilities inclusive of $1,299,712 in stockholder loans that are subordinated to the provider of the working capital facility, and $29,960 in the current portion of the lease liability recognition. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, execute on its business plan to acquire complimentary companies, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Working Capital Line of Credit
Keeler & Co entered into a $14,000,000 revolving line of credit, pursuant to a loan and security agreement with ACF Finco I, LP (“ACF”) on August 31, 2016, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the prior line of credit, pay new loan costs of approximately $309,000, and provide additional working capital to the Company. This facility is secured by all assets of Keeler & Co. This facility was amended on November 18, 2016, June 19, 2017, October 16, 2017, September 19, 2018, November 8, 2018, July 29, 2019, November 26, 2019 and May 7, 2020.
The line of credit accrued interest at a rate equal to the greater of 3 Month LIBOR rate plus 9.25%, the Prime rate plus 6.0% or a fixed rate of 6.5%.
The ACF line of credit agreement was subject to the following terms:
On November 26, 2019, Keeler & Co. entered into the seventh amendment to the loan and security agreement with ACF. This amendment memorialized the acquisition of Coastal Pride and made Coastal Pride a co-borrower to the facility. Additionally, the seventh amendment waived and reset the covenant default that occurred during 2019, extended the term of the facility to 5 years and is subject to early termination by the lender upon defined events of default. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride were in violation of its minimum EBITDA covenant as well as exceeding the covenant related to monies advanced to Bacolod by approximately $105,000. The default interest rate increase of 3% was implemented in April 2020.
On May 7, 2020, Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride entered into an eighth amendment to the loan and security agreement with ACF which acknowledged the execution of a Payroll Protection Program loan, provided a reservation of rights related to a default of the minimum EBITDA covenant.
The Company analyzed the line of credit modification under ASC 470-50-40-21 and determined that the modification did not trigger any additional accounting due to the revolving line of credit remaining unchanged.
As of December 31, 2020, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of approximately $1,805,000. As of March 31, 2021, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of $0.
On March 31, 2021, Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride entered into a loan and security agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with Lighthouse pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Lighthouse made available to Keeler & Co. and Coastal Pride (together, the “Borrowers”) a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit for a term of thirty-six months, renewable annually for one-year periods thereafter. Amounts due under the line of credit are represented by a revolving credit note issued to Lighthouse by the Borrowers.
The advance rate of the revolving line of credit is 85% with respect to eligible accounts receivable and the lower of 60% of the Borrowers’ eligible inventory, or 80% of the net orderly liquidation value, subject to an inventory sublimit of $2,500,000. The inventory portion of the loan will never exceed 50% of the outstanding balance. Interest on the line of credit is the prime rate (with a floor of 3.25%), plus 3.75%. The Borrowers will pay Lighthouse a facility fee of $50,000 in three instalments of $16,667 in March, April and May 2021 and will pay an additional facility fee of $25,000 on each anniversary of March 31, 2021.
The line of credit is secured by a first priority security interest on all the assets of each Borrower. Pursuant to the terms of a guaranty agreement, the Company guaranteed the obligations of the Borrowers under the note and John Keeler, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, provided a personal guaranty of up to $1,000,000 to Lighthouse.
The Borrowers utilized $784,450 borrowed from Lighthouse to repay all the outstanding indebtedness owed to the ACF as of March 31, 2021. As a result, all obligations owed to ACF were satisfied and the loan agreement with ACF was terminated. The outstanding balance owed to Lighthouse as of June 30, 2021 amounted to $631,958.
First West Credit Union CEBA Loan
On June 24, 2021, the Company assumed a commercial term loan with First West Credit Union Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) in the principal amount of CAD$60,000 in connection with the acquisition of TOBC. The loan initially bears no interest and is due on December 31, 2025. The borrower may prepay all or part of the loan commencing November 1, 2022 and if, by December 31, 2022, the Company has paid 75% of the loan amount, the remaining 25% will be forgiven as per the loan agreement. If less than 75% of the loan amount is outstanding by December 31, 2022, the then outstanding balance will be converted to interest only monthly payments at 5.0%.
John Keeler Promissory Notes – Subordinated
The Company had unsecured promissory notes outstanding to its stockholder of approximately $1,299,000 of principal and interest expense of $39,100 and $174,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These notes are payable on demand, bear an annual interest rate of 6% and were subordinated to the ACF working capital line of credit until March 31, 2021.

As consideration for Kenar’s agreement to amend the note, on May 27, 2020, the Company issued shares of common stock to Kenar. As of the amendment date, the common stock had a value of $2,655,292.
The amendment to the Kenar Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 and was determined that it will be accounted for as an extinguishment of the old debt and the new debt recorded at fair value with the new effective interest rate of 18%. Additionally, this treatment resulted in the cost of the modification paid in common stock with a value of $2,655,292 charged to other expense as of the date of the amendment.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. President declared a National Emergency concerning the disease. Additionally, in March 2020, state governments in the Company’s geographic operating area began instituting preventative shut down measures in order to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of the geographical areas in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic for 2020 and into 2021. The Company’s business not being deemed essential resulted in decreased financial performance that may not be indicative of future financial results. Government-mandated closures of businesses and shipping delays have affected our sales and inventory purchases. The Company continues to face uncertainty and increased risks concerning its employees, customers, supply chain and government regulation. Although the COVID-19 vaccine is currently available to the population in the U.S., cases of the COVID-19 virus continue to raise due to variants of the virus and the long-term effects of this pandemic are yet to be seen. The Company’s sales and supply may continue to be adversely affected due to COVID-19 and plans continue to be developed to ensure a prompt response is given to address the effects of the pandemic.

Advances to Suppliers and Related Party
In the normal course of business, the Company may advance payments to its suppliers, inclusive of Bacolod Blue Star Export Corp. (“Bacolod”), a related party based in the Philippines. These advances are in the form of prepayments for products that will ship within a short window of time.

No new purchases have been made from Bacolod during the six months ended June 30, 2021. A permits renewal payment of $8,000 was made to Bacolod during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as such, we record revenue when our customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s source of revenue is from importing blue and red swimming crab meat primarily from Indonesia, the Philippines and China and distributing it in the United States and Canada under several brand names such as Blue Star, Oceanica, Pacifika, Crab & Go, First Choice, Good Stuff and Coastal Pride Fresh, and steelhead salmon produced under the brand name Little Cedar Farms for distribution in Canada. The Company sells primarily to food service distributors. The Company also sells its products to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors.
To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
The Company elected an accounting policy to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. Consideration payable to a customer is recorded as a reduction of the arrangement’s transaction price, thereby reducing the amount of revenue recognized, unless the payment is for distinct goods or services received from the customer.

| Lease Accounting | Lease Accounting
We account for our leases under ASC 842, Leases, which requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard.
We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2021. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the lease. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.
When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheets.
Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows:
The table below presents the remaining lease term and discount rates for operating leases.
Maturities of lease liabilities as of June 30, 2021, were as follows:

| Intangible Assets and Goodwill | Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company reviews its indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed an assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
