General
We are subject to various claims and pending or threatened lawsuits in the normal course of business. Although we do not anticipate that the resolution of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business or the proceeding described below will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, we cannot predict this with certainty.

Legal
On February 28, 2017 and March 6, 2017, respectively, two lawsuits, Sara Cilloni and Simone Zimmer v. Craft Brew Alliance, Inc., and Theodore Broomfield v. Kona Brewing Co. LLC, Kona Brew Enterprises, LLP, Kona Brewery LLC, and Craft Brew Alliance, Inc., were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern Division of California. On April 7, 2017, the two lawsuits were consolidated into a single complaint under the Broomfield case. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants misled customers regarding the state in which Kona Brewing Company beers are manufactured. On April 28, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was granted in part and denied in part on September 1, 2017. On September 26, 2018, the court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, forming a class of persons within the state of California who purchased certain Kona Brewing Company products within the relevant statute of limitations period. Our motion for reconsideration was denied on October 16, 2018. A trial date has been set for August of 2020. We have not recorded any liabilities with respect to the claims.
