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.

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.

Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of June 30, 2016, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $746,613. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.

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.

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 and six months ended June 30, 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: 2,742,503 shares underlying warrants and 1,290,000 shares underlying options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 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; 3,120,000 shares from the exercise of options; and 4,071,199 shares from the exercise of warrants.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding convertible notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $812,215 with accrued interest of $620,669 convertible at the rate of $0.25 per share into an aggregate of 5,731,536 shares of common stock, and a convertible note payable in the amount of $100,000 convertible at the rate of $1.54 into 64,935 shares of common stock.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding options for holders to purchase the following additional shares: 30,000 shares at a price of $3.40 per share; 20,000 shares at a price of $2.40 per share; 500,000 shares at a price of $2.00 per share; 15,000 shares at a price of $1.90 per share; 310,000 shares at a price of $1.60 per share; 100,000 shares at a price of $1.46 per share; 15,000 shares at a price of $1.44 per share; 75,000 shares at a price of $1.31 per share; 225,000 shares at a price of $0.57 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.48 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.474 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.45 per share; 275,000 shares at a price of $0.40 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.38 per share; and 1,170,000 shares at a price of $0.35 per share.

At June 30, 2016, the Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the potential issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock for the purpose of aligning executives and employees of the Company and for the purpose of compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors of the Company and for the purposes of retaining qualified personnel at compensation levels that otherwise would not be available should the company have been required to pay certain salaries in cash only. Certain of the RSUs were issued to members of the board of directors of the Company (“Board RSUs”); certain RSUs were issued to the executive officers of the Company (“Executive RSUs”); certain RSUs were issued to employees of the Company (“Employee RSUs”); and certain RSUs were issued to employees of The Fresh Diet (“FD RSUs”).

At June 30, 2016, the following Executive RSUs were outstanding: a total of 1,137,072 RSUs were vested; 600,000 RSUs will vest on December 31, 2016; and 800,000 RSUs will vest on July 1, 2017. An additional 125,000 RSUs will vest contingent upon the attainment of a stock price of $2.00 per share for 20 straight trading days, and an additional 175,000 RSUs will vest contingent upon the attainment of a stock price of $3.00 per share for 20 straight trading days. The Company estimated that the stock-price goals of the Company’s stock price closing above $2.00 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 also estimated that the likelihood of the Company’s stock closing above $3.00 per share for 20 straight days is 70%, and these RSUs were valued at 70% of their face value

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, pursuant to separation agreements related to The Fresh Diet, a total of 200,000 Employee RSUs were exercised and an additional 900,000 RSUs were cancelled. At June 30, 2016, the following FD RSUs were outstanding: A total of 300,000 RSUs were vested; 300,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2016; and 400,000 RSUs will vest on July 1, 2017.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense for RSUs in a straight-line manner over the vesting period of the grant. This resulted in stock-based compensation expense (continuing operations) of $230,350 and $545,966 related to recognition of RSUs during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $468,018 and $1,091,931 related to recognition of RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding convertible notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $758,065 with accrued interest of $662,653 convertible at the rate of $0.25 per share into an aggregate of 5,682,872 shares of common stock, and a convertible note payable in the amount of $200,000 convertible at the rate of $1.54 per share into 129,871 shares of common stock.

Also at June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding options for holders to purchase the following additional shares: 30,000 shares at a price of $3.40 per share; 20,000 shares at a price of $2.40 per share; 500,000 shares at a price of $2.00 per share; 15,000 shares at a price of $1.90 per share; 310,000 shares at a price of $1.60 per share; 15,000 shares at a price of $1.50 per share; 100,000 shares at a price of $1.46 per share; 15,000 shares at a price of $1.44 per share; 75,000 shares at a price of $1.31 per share; 225,000 shares at a price of $0.57 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.48 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.474 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.45 per share; 275,000 shares at a price of $0.40 per share; 92,500 shares at a price of $0.38 per share; and 1,170,000 shares at a price of $0.35 per share.

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.

At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of June 30, 2016, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $746,613. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts. 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.

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.

The Employee RSUs vest according to the following schedule: On July 1, 2015 600,000 will vest and on December 31, 2015 an additional 600,000 shares will vest. 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 FD RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of FD were issued either partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses, or a combination of both bonus and salary. At June 30, 2015, the FD RSUs were scheduled to vest as follows: On July 1, 2015, 600,000 RSUs will vest; on December 31, 2015 an additional 600,000 RSUs will vest; on December 31, 2016 an additional 1,200,000 RSUs will vest; and on July 1, 2017, an additional 1,600,000 RSUs will vest.

In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock, including aggregate volume restrictions, and shares cannot 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 (continuing operations) of $545,966 and $1,091,391, respectively, related to recognition of RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Fully-diluted earnings per share was the same as basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 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.

Also at June 30, 2015, the Company has issued restricted stock units ("RSUs") for the potential issuance of shares of the Company's common stock for the purpose of aligning executives and employees of the Company and for the purpose of compensation for serving as members of the Board of Directors of the Company and for the purposes of retaining qualified personnel at compensation levels that otherwise would not be available should the company have been required to pay certain salaries in cash only. Certain of the RSUs were issued to employees of The Fresh Diet ("Employee RSUs") and certain RSUs were issued to the executive officers of the Company ("Executive RSUs") and certain RSUs were issued to members of the board of directors of the Company ("Board RSUs"). With respect to the Executive RSUs, the Company's executive officers were awarded an aggregate number of RSUs which vest according to the following schedule, provided the performance conditions are met: 322,466 RSU's vested on January 1, 2015, 390,000 RSUs vested on July 1, 2015 and 300,000 RSU's vested on December 31, 2015; 75,000 RSU’s vested on May 1, 2016, 90,000 RSU's vest on July 1, 2016 and 600,000 RSUs vest on December 31, 2016 and 890,000 RSUs vest on July 1, 2017 and 300,000 RSU's vest solely upon the achievement of performance goals and the continued employment with the Company.

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 July 1, 2015 600,000 will vest and on December 31, 2015 an additional 600,000 shares will vest. 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 FD RSUs issued to certain nonexecutive employees of FD were issued either partially in lieu of salary, future bonuses, or a combination of both bonus and salary. At June 30, 2015, the FD RSUs were scheduled to vest as follows: On July 1, 2015, 600,000 RSUs will vest; on December 31, 2015 an additional 600,000 RSUs will vest; on December 31, 2016 an additional 1,200,000 RSUs will vest; and on July 1, 2017, an additional 1,600,000 RSUs will vest.

In addition there are restrictions on the sale of such vested stock, including aggregate volume restrictions, and shares cannot 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 (continuing operations) of $545,966 and $1,091,391, respectively, related to recognition of RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
