LEASES
The Company has operated leases for corporate offices, warehouses, distilleries, tasting rooms and certain equipment which have been accounted for using ASC Topic 842. The Company’s operating lease terms included periods under options to extend or terminate the operating lease when it was reasonably certain that the Company would exercise that option in the measurement of its operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. The Company considers contractual-based factors such as the nature and terms of the renewal or termination, asset-based factors such as the physical location of the asset and entity-based factors such as the importance of the leased asset to the Company’s operations to determine the operating lease term. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable lease term when determining the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. The ROU asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
On October 23, 2025, the Company announced the Restructuring. As of December 31, 2025 the Company wrote off and expensed $3,392,744 of: property and equipment; operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities; and other related expenses as part of the Restructuring. See Note 18.
In January 2025, the Company terminated one warehouse lease in Eugene, Oregon, moving from a 33,000 square feet to an approximately 8,000 square feet lease. The monthly expenses associated with the new lease were reduced from approximately $18,000 per month down to $7,700 per month. The new lease expires in January 2028, with an option for a three year extension. The change in ROU assets and related liabilities both for the terminated lease and the new warehouse lease were captured on the March 31, 2025 balance sheet. The Company also negotiated the reduction of warehouse space of its largest warehouse effective September 15, 2025, reducing annualized expenses for that space by approximately two-thirds.
