Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Throughout this report, the terms “our”, “we”, “us” and the “Company” refer to Barfresh Food Group Inc., including its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Barfresh Food Group Inc. at September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, instructions to Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation to make our financial statements not misleading have been included. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2015 balance sheet has been derived from our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries Barfresh Inc. and Barfresh Corporation, Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods and is carried at the lower of cost or market on a first in first out basis.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of patents, net of amortization. The patent costs are being amortized over the life of the patents, which is twenty years from the date of filing the patent applications. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the costs of internally developing other intangible assets, such as patents, are expensed as incurred. However, as allowed by ASC 350, legal fees and similar costs relating to patents have been capitalized.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term that includes any expected renewal periods deemed to be reasonably assured. The estimated useful lives used for financial statement purposes are:

Furniture and fixtures: 5 years

Equipment: 7 years

Leasehold improvements: 2 years

Vehicle: 5 years

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from products sold when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Earnings per Share

We calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. At September 30, 2016 and 2015 any equivalents would have been anti-dilutive as we had losses for the periods then ended.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. We incurred $101,304 and $74,635 in research and development expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $256,874 and $179,340 in research and development expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the current quarter, we re-classified certain personnel expenses that had previously been included in Personnel Expense, to Research and Development. These expenses relate to the services performed by our Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, and consultants supporting that employee. The reclassification doesn’t impact financial statement as all costs are in General and Administrative expense.

Rent Expense

We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term as defined in ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).

Recent Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

ASU Update 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) issued May 28, 2014 by FASB and IASB converged guidance on recognizing revenue in contracts with customers on an effective date after December 31, 2017 will be evaluated as to impact and implemented accordingly.

ASU Update 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Sub Topic 205-40) issued August 27, 2014 by FASB defines managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about an organizations ability to continue as a going concern. The additional disclosure required is effective after December 31, 2015 and will be evaluated as to impact and implemented accordingly.

(Unaudited)

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which simplifies the measurement principle of inventories valued under the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) or weighted average methods from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within those annual periods. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Upon adoption, ASU 2015-17 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets (“lessees”) to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. A lease liability is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This ASU leaves the accounting for the organizations that own the assets leased to the lessee (“lessor”) largely unchanged except for targeted improvements to align it with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including (i) income tax consequences, (ii) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, (iii) whether to estimate forfeitures or account for them when they occur and (iv) classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016. Early adoption will be permitted with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 – Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The eight items that the ASU provides classification guidance on include (1) debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investments, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, however early adoption is permitted. The standard requires the use of the retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Note 2. Property Plant and Equipment

Major classes of property and equipment at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Furniture and fixtures	$	13,604		$	13,604

Equipment not yet placed in service		910,758			99,066
Property and equipment, net of depreciation	$	1,543,344		$	688,772

We recorded depreciation expense related to these assets of $36,268 and $27,005 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $104,367 and $80,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 3. Intangible Assets

As of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, intangible assets consist primarily of patent costs and trademarks of $816,503 and $760,475, less accumulated amortization of $189,304 and $143,218 respectively.

The amounts carried on the balance sheet represent cost to acquire, legal fees and similar costs relating to the patents incurred by the Company. Amortization is calculated through the expiration date of the patent, which is August, 2025. The amount charged to expenses for amortization of the patent costs was $15,376 and $15,519 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $46,085 and $46,265 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 4. Related Parties

During the quarter, $50,000 outstanding in a Short-Term Note Payable to a related party, who is a significant shareholder and a director was converted into stock at $0.64 per share plus 50% warrant coverage at $0.75.

As disclosed below in Note 9, members of management and directors have received shares of stock and options in exchange for services.

Note 5. Short-Term Notes Payable (Related and Unrelated)

In December 2013, we closed an offering of $775,000 in short-term notes payable (“Short-Term Notes”), $500,000 of which was purchased by a significant shareholder and $100,000 was purchased by a company controlled by a director and significant shareholder. The Short-Term Notes bear interest at a rate of 2% per annum and were due and payable on December 20, 2014. We also issued 1,291,667 warrants to the Short-Term Note holders for the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.45 per share, may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable for a period of five years.

In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470”), we first calculated the fair value of the warrants issued and then determined the relative value of the Short-Term Notes.

The relative value of the warrants was $298,232, which was the amount recorded as debt discount to the short-term notes. The amounts recorded as debt discount were amortized over the one-year term, and accreted to interest expense. We estimated the effective interest rate as calculated to be approximately 52% but paid cash at a rate of 2% per annum.

We exercised our right to extend the due date of the Short-Term Notes to September 20, 2015. The extended Short-Term Notes bear at the rate of 3% per annum and required us to issue additional warrants (“Extension Warrants”). We issued 898,842 Extension Warrants to the Short-Term Note holders for the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each Extension Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.485 per share, may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable for a period of three years.

As discussed above, we accounted for the warrants as per the guidance in ASC 470. The relative value of the Extension Warrants, $164,638, was the amount recorded as the new debt discount. The amounts recorded as debt discount were being amortized over the six-month term of the note, and accreted to interest expense. We estimated the effective interest rate as calculated to be approximately 53% but pay cash at a rate of 3% per annum.

(Unaudited)

The fair value of the Extension Warrant, $0.23 per share, was calculated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected life (in years)	3
Volatility (based on a comparable company)	76.88	%
Risk Free interest rate	1.10	%
Dividend yield (on common stock)	-	%

On June 20, 2015, some of the Short-Term Notes were amended again, and some of the Short-Term Notes were redeemed. Short-Term Notes totaling $700,000 were amended to provide for repayment on June 20, 2015 of 50% of the face value, plus accrued interest to that date ($10,500), and extension of the remaining balance until September 20, 2015, and the interest rate on the notes that were extended was adjusted to 10%. The remaining Short-Term Notes were fully redeemed on June 20, 2015. One such note in the amount of $25,000 was redeemed for cash, and one such note in the amount of $50,000 was redeemed for 71,429 shares of our common stock. As a result of the above described amendments and redemptions of the Short-Term Notes, all remaining unamortized debt discount was expensed as of June 20, 2015.

Of the balance of the notes due that were payable on September 20, 2015, one note for $250,000 was repaid on October 1, 2015, and two notes, one to a related party in the amount of $50,000, and one to an unrelated party in the amount of $50,000, plus total accrued interest $12,849 were converted into stock at $0.64 per share on September 27, 2016, plus 50% warrants coverage at $0.75 per share.

Note 6. Convertible Notes (Related and Unrelated)

In August 2012, we closed an offering of $440,000 of convertible notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were due and payable on September 6, 2013. In addition, the notes were convertible, at any time after the original issue date until the notes are no longer outstanding, into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.372 per share. We also issued 956,519 warrants to the note holders for the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.46 per share for a term of seven years.

When the convertible notes were due, we settled the notes by repaying $40,000 of the notes in cash, issuing new convertible notes in the amount of $400,000 and received payment for another note in the amount of $20,000. The new notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were due and payable on September 6, 2015. In addition, the new notes were convertible at any time after the original issue date until the new notes are no longer outstanding, into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. We also issued warrants to the new note holders for the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share. There were 1,680,000 warrants issued. The warrants issued with the original notes were cancelled.

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 470, we first calculated the fair value of the warrants issued and then determined the relative value of the notes and determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature.

The fair value of the warrants, $0.13 per share ($216,531 in the aggregate), was calculated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected life (in years)	3

The relative value of the warrants to the notes was $142,873, which was recorded as a portion of the debt discount. We also recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible notes of $125,905. The amounts recorded as debt discount are being amortized over the two- year term, and accreted to interest expense. We estimated the effective interest rate as calculated to be approximately 74% but will be paying cash at a rate of 12% per annum.

All debt discount has been amortized.

During September 2015, all the holders of the convertible notes elected to convert the then outstanding $420,000 of notes, and accumulated interest of $21,955 to our common stock. We issued 1,767,822 shares of our common stock in conversion of these notes.

During late 2015, we raised $2,670,000 through the issuance of convertible promissory notes. The notes bore interest at a rate of 10% and matured in one year. Upon completion of an equity financing which occurred during the first quarter of 2016, holders of approximately 96% of these notes elected to convert all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the notes into the class of equity issued in such financing on the same terms as the other investors concurrently with the closing of such financing. During late 2015 we also issued 1,335,000 warrants to the note holders for the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for a term of five years. Of the aggregate offering amount, $635,000 of the notes and warrants to purchase up to 317,500 shares of common stock were placed with members of the Company’s management, including officers and directors of the Company, and family members of certain officers and directors.

Remaining $100,000 of convertible notes which did not elect to convert to common stock are summarized below.

	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Convertible notes (including related party)		100,000			2,720,000
Less: Debt discount (warrant value)		(7,700	)		(564,462	)
Less: Debt discount (issuance costs paid)		-			(69,667	)
	$	92,300		$	2,085,871

We did not record any discount for beneficial conversion as the conversion terms were unknown at the time of issuance. The conversion price was set during the February 2016 equity transaction. At that time the Company evaluated whether a beneficial conversion feature should have been recorded, and concluded that no such beneficial conversion feature needed to be recorded.

Note 11. Interest Expense

Interest expense includes direct interest of ($579) and $19,362 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $61,318 and $55,789 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, calculated based on the interest rates stated in our various debt instruments.

In addition, as more fully described in Notes 5 and 6 above, interest expense includes non-cash amortization of the debt discount of $8,256 and $43,145 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $181,832 and $292,195 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 12. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in interim periods in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). We have determined an estimated annual effective tax rate. The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during our fiscal year to our best current estimate. As of September 30, 2016, the estimated effective tax rate for the year will be zero.

There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2009 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2016, we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated all activity and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

Subsequent to September 30, 2016 and as of the filing of our quarterly report, the company sold an additional 1,093,750 shares for $0.64 per share and issued an additional 546,875 warrants at $0.75 per share.

In October and November of 2016, the company effectuated a personnel restructuring plan which eliminated 12 sales positions and effectively replaced those positions with commission based broker representatives. This shift will allow our remaining sale personnel to sharpen their focus on larger accounts while allowing brokers to cover our distribution business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related notes. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to Barfresh Food Group Inc. This discussion includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan”, “continuing”, “ongoing”, “expect”, “believe”, “intend”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.

We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 we changed our year end from March 31 to December 31, 2015. As a result, our 2015 fiscal period was shortened from twelve months to a nine-month transition period ended on December 31, 2015 (“Transition Period”).

Barfresh is a leader in the creation, manufacturing and distribution of ready to blend frozen beverages. The current portfolio of products includes smoothies, shakes and frappes. All of the products are portion controlled and ready to blend beverage ingredient packs or “beverage packs”. The beverage packs contain all of the solid ingredients necessary to make the beverage, including the base (either sorbet, frozen yogurt or ice cream), real fruit pieces, juices and ice – five ounces of water are added before blending. During the quarter, the Company introduced a new flavor to its portfolio of products “Triple Berry”, featuring raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.

Domestic and international patents and patents pending are owned by Barfresh, as well as related trademarks for all of the products. In November 2011, the Company acquired the patent rights in the United States and Canada. The Canadian patent has been granted and the United States Patent was granted on August 16, 2016. On October 15, 2013, the Company acquired all of the related international patent rights, which were filed pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty and have been granted in 13 jurisdictions. Barfresh now has patents granted in a total of sixteen countries. The patents are pending in the remainder of the jurisdictions that have signed the treaty. In addition, on October 15, 2013, the Company purchased all of the trademarks related to the patented products.

The Company conducts sales through two channels: National Accounts, and through an exclusive nationwide distribution agreement with Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”), the U.S.’s largest broadline distributor, which was entered into during July 2014.

The process of obtaining sales orders for National Accounts generally follows several steps, including product demonstration, product testing, and exclusive flavor development for the larger National Accounts. We are currently in various stages of product development and testing with National Accounts representing over 37,000 restaurant locations.

The Company recently launched in market tests with several major National Key Accounts, and is focused on moving from in-market tests to national roll-out.

On August 31, 2016, the Company announced the completion of a successful test with a national 300 unit frozen yogurt chain, one of the fastest growing self-serve frozen yogurt chains in the world. The next phase of the national roll-out of the chain has been approved to expand to 60 units within the southeastern United States. On September 12, 2016, the Company announced the roll out of its products within Wegman’s Food Markets’ in-store concept, The Pub. Wegmans currently operates 11 of it’s the Pub in-store restaurants with another opening soon. On July 6^th, 2016, the Company announced that it had signed a supply agreement with a major global on-site foodservice operator. The agreement, which marked the culmination of a successful in market test conducted at several locations, makes Barfresh’s suite of blended beverages available across the customer’s diverse customer base in its education, healthcare, sports and entertainment, and business and government channels, in the US and Canada, representing over 2,000 potential customer accounts.

In addition to the National Accounts, the Company sells to food distributors that supply products to the food services market place. Effective July 2, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Sysco Merchandising and Supply Chain Services, Inc. for resale by the Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”) to the foodservice industry of the Company’s ready-to-blend smoothies, shakes and frappes. All Barfresh products are included in Sysco’s national core selection of beverage items, making Barfresh its exclusive single-serve, pre-portioned beverage provider. The agreement is mutually exclusive; however, Barfresh may also sell the products to other foodservice distributors, but only to the extent required for such foodservice distributors to service multi-unit chain operators with at least 20 units and where Sysco is not such multi- unit chain operators nominated distributor for our products.

The Company is one of five vendors that was named to Sysco’s “Cutting Edge Solution” (“CES”) Platform during March of 2016. As part of this platform, our products are receiving national advertising and marketing, and are considered a core product. All 72 of SYSCO’s Operating Companies (“OPCO”) will participate in the CES program, and will be evaluated on their success in moving the CES products. As a direct result the Company now has its products in all 70 of SYSCO’s mainland U.S. Opco’s. Primarily as a result of the national roll-out of Barfresh’s products in the SYSCO distribution system, revenue during the nine months of 2016 grew to $1,313,178 from $447,859 in the nine months of 2015. On October 6, 2016, Sysco awarded Barfresh the Emerging Supplier of the Year award, Barfresh continues to work closely with SYSCO to leverage new national promotional and marketing opportunities, in addition to the CES platform.

On October 26, 2015, Barfresh signed an agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages, a division of PepsiCo, to become its exclusive sales representative within the food service channel to present Barfresh’s line of ready-to-blend smoothies and frozen beverages throughout the United States and Canada. Through this agreement, Barfresh’ products is included as part of PepsiCo’s offerings to its significant customer base. The agreement facilitates access to potential National customer accounts, through introductions provided by PepsiCo’s one-thousand plus person foodservice sales team. Barfresh products have become part of PepsiCo’s customer presentations at national trade shows and similar venues.

Finally, the Company intends to monetize the international patents outside of the current area of operations, North America, by expanding contract manufacturing to other countries and selling either through selling agents or internal sales personnel. The Company will also consider entering into some form of license or royalty agreements with third parties.

Barfresh currently utilizes contract manufacturers to manufacture all of the products in the United States. Production lines are currently operational at two locations. The first is in our Salt Lake City contract manufacturer location, which currently produces products sold to existing customers. Currently annual production capacity with this contract manufacturer is 14 million units per year. The second location is with Yarnell Operations, LLC, a subsidiary of Schulze and Burch, located in Arkansas. The Yarnell’s agreement, which was signed during February of 2016, secures additional production capacity ahead of expected dramatic sales growth in 2016. Barfresh will have the capacity to ramp up to an incremental production capacity of 100 million units through this agreement. Yarnell’s began shipping product for Barfresh during June of this year. Yarnell’s location enhances the company’s ability to efficiently move product throughout the supply chain to destinations in the eastern United States, home to many of the country’s large foodservice outlets.

Although there currently is not a contract in place with any suppliers for the raw materials needed to manufacture our products, there are a significant number of sources available and the company does not anticipate becoming dependent on any one supplier. As demand for the range of our products grows, we plan to contract a level of raw material requirements to ensure continuity of supply.

At the end of the current quarter, we had 46 employees and 5 consultants; 35 of those employees were selling our products. After the close of the quarter, we affected a restructuring of our sales force, whereby we eliminated 12 full time sales positions, and replaced the associated sales territory coverage with a Sysco exclusive broker network. These hand selected brokers have tremendous knowledge and experience with the OPCO’s. And they have a preexisting relationship with the top customers in each OPCO. This change will allow our remaining sales force to more effectively focus on pursuing larger accounts, while our expanded brokerage network will support and expand our “up and down the street” business. In addition, we expect the change to reduce our overall overhead costs by a net $1 million to $1.5 million on an annualized basis.

On September 28^th, 2016, the Company announced that it had raised $2.3 million in a private placement of its equity securities. In accordance with the terms of the private placement, the Company issued 3,593,754 shares of common equity at a price of $0.64 per share, with warrant coverage of 50%, exercisable for a term of 5 years at $0.75 per share. After the quarter closed, during the first week of October, the Company raised an additional $700,000, in a private placement of its securities, on the same terms as described in the preceding sentence, bringing the total raised to $3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the year ended December 31, 2015, as updated by Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the year ended December 31, 2015, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our critical accounting policies and estimates, the disclosure with respect to which is incorporated herein by reference.

Results of Operations

Results of Operation for Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015.

(References to 2016 and 2015 are to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, unless otherwise specified.)

Revenue and cost of revenue

Revenue increased $310,851 (185%) from $168,099 in 2015 to $478,680 in 2016. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of the continuation of the national rollout of our product which began during the first quarter of 2016 to all 72 of Sysco’s U.S. mainland distribution centers. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, our product was distributed through 38 of Sysco’s distribution centers. We now have our product in all of Sysco’s 72 distribution locations.

Cost of revenue for 2016 was $265,072 as compared to $90,202 in 2015. Our gross profit was $213,608 (45%) and $77,897 (46%) for 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenue in both 2016 and 2015 included sales of blenders and freezers. We only make a nominal profit on these items as they are to accommodate our customers. We anticipate that our gross profit percentage for the remainder of 2016 will be comparable to the percentage for the current quarter.

Operating expenses

Our operations during 2016 and 2015 were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.

Our general and administrative expenses increased $381,817 (18%) from $2,138,815 in 2015 to $2,520,632 in 2016, as our business continued to grow. The following is a breakdown of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

	three months ended		three months ended
	September 30, 2016		September 30, 2015		Difference
Personnel costs	$	1,386,141	$	992,948	$	393,193
Stock based compensation/options		269,222		255,321		13,901

Director fees		25,000		-		25,000
Research and development		101,304		74,635		26,669
Shipping and Storage		113,674		68,966		44,708
Other expenses		139,864		86,661		53,203
	$	2,520,632	$	2,138,815	$	381,817

Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be our largest cost. Personnel cost increased $393,193 (40%) from $992,948 to $1,386,141. During the first quarter of this year we significantly increased our sales staff primarily as a result of the national roll-out of our distribution agreement with Sysco. At the end of the quarter, we had 46 full time employees compared to 38 at the end of the year ago period. After the quarter closed, we affected a restructuring of our sales force, whereby we eliminated 13 full time sales positions, and replaced the associated sales territory coverage with brokerage arrangements. This change will allow our remaining sales force to more effectively focus on pursuing larger accounts, while our expanded brokerage network will support and expand our “up and down the street” business. In addition, we expect the change to reduce our overall overhead costs by a net $1 million to $1.5 million on an annualized basis.

We do not anticipate any further changes to our personnel organization during the balance of 2016.

Stock based compensation is used as an incentive to attract new employees and to compensate existing employees. Stock based compensation includes stock issued and options granted to employees and non-employees. After the quarter closed, we made additional grants to our sales force members who are remaining with the Company after our personnel restructuring. We anticipate making additional grants in the future. Certain grants that were made in 2015 had shorter vesting periods than the grants that were made during 2016. However, a higher overall number of stock options were granted during the current period, resulting in higher expense within the current period.

Legal and professional fees decreased $ 72,726 (36%) from $202,072 in 2015 to $129,346 in 2016. The decreased was primarily due to a decrease in legal services required. We anticipate legal fees related to our business and financing activities to increase as our business grows.

Travel expenses increased $47,342 (43%) from $110,404 in 2015 to $157,746 in 2016. The increase is due to increased travel related to increased personnel engaging in selling and marketing activities. We anticipate that travel cost for the balance of 2016 will remain comparable to that of the current quarter, as the reduction in travel costs associated with terminated employees, will be largely offset by the increased travel activity of the remaining sales force employees.

Rent expense is primarily for our location in Beverly Hills, California. Rent expense for the Beverly Hills office is approximately $8,833 per month. The lease on the office commenced in November 8, 2014 and expires in November 2016. Rent expense also includes monthly parking fees as well as an offsite storage facilities. We have entered into a new lease for office space at 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California. The new lease commenced on November 1, 2016 and expires in February 8, 2018.

Marketing and selling expenses decreased $50,520 (32%) from $158,686 in 2015 to $108,166 in 2016.

Consulting fees decreased $96,448 (62%) from $154,640 in 2015 to $58,192 in 2016.

Our consulting fees vary based on needs. We engage consultants in the areas of sales, operations and accounting. Future consulting fees will be variable.

Director fees of $25,000 were accrued during the period ended September 30, 2016, however no director fees were accrued during the period ending September 30, 2015. Annual director fees are anticipated at $50,000 per non-employee director.

Research and development expenses increased $26,669( 36%) from $74,635 to $101,304 during the current period. During the current quarter, we re-classified certain personnel expenses that had previously been included in Personnel Expense, to Research and Development. These expenses relate to the services performed by our Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, and consultants supporting that employee. The re-classification is shown in both the current period and the prior period. The increase in Research and Development Expense is being driven by an increased need for research and development services, as we continue to expand product offerings, both for our standard SKU’s, and for National Accounts.

Shipping and storage expense increased $44,708 (65%) from $68,966 in 2015 to $113,674 in 2016. The higher expense in 2016 is due to costs incurred to better position inventory for the national roll-out with Sysco. Shipping and storage expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 23.7%, as compared with 41% in the prior quarter. This improvement results from the transition to more efficient shipping options that have become available as our operations have expanded. We anticipate that shipping and storage expense as a percentage of sales will reduce during the balance of the year, as the Company is able to take advantage of more efficient distribution arrangements.

Other expenses consist of ordinary operating expenses such as investor relations, office, telephone, insurance, and stock related costs. We anticipate increases in certain of these expenses, as our business continues to grow.

We had operating losses of $2,358,669 and $2,074,442 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $54,830 (88%) from $62,507 in 2015 to $7,677 in 2016. Interest primarily relates to convertible debt that was issued in November, 2015, and converted into stock during February, 2016, and short term notes that were issued in December 2013, which were partially repaid during June of 2015. The stated interest rate on the convertible debt is 10%.

We had net losses of $2,366,346 and $2,136,949 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Results of Operation for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015.

(References to 2016 and 2015 are to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, unless otherwise specified.)

Revenue and cost of revenue

Revenue increased $865,319 (193%) from $447,859 in 2015 to $1,313,178 in 2016. The increase in revenue is a result of the continuation of the national rollout of our product which began during the first quarter of 2016 to all 72 of Sysco’s U.S. mainland distribution centers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our product was distributed through 38 of Sysco’s distribution centers. We now have our product in all of Sysco’s 72 distribution locations.

Cost of revenue for 2016 was $683,741 as compared to $238,779 in 2015. Our gross profit was $629,437 (48%) and $209,080 (47%) for 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenue in both 2016 and 2015 included sales of blenders and freezers. We only make a nominal profit on these items as they are to accommodate our customers. We anticipate that our gross profit percentage for the remainder of 2016 will be comparable to the percentage for the current period.

Operating expenses

Our operations during 2016 and 2015 were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.

Our general and administrative expenses increased $2,912,967 (59%) from $4,906,381in 2015 to $7,819,348 in 2016, as our business grew. The following is a breakdown of our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

	nine months ended September 30, 2016		nine months ended September 30, 2015			Difference
Personnel costs	$	4,351,271	$	1,952,885		$	2,398,386
Stock based compensation/options		784,263		763,843			20,420

Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be our largest cost. Personnel cost increased $2,398,386 (123%) from $1,952,885 to $4,351,271. During the first quarter of this year we significantly increased our sales staff primarily as a result of the national roll-out of our distribution agreement with Sysco. At the end of the current quarter we had 46 full time employees compared to 34 at the end of the year ago period. Personnel costs for the current period also include an accrual for our annual incentive plans, which was not reflected in the year ago period. After the quarter closed, we affected a restructuring of our sales force, whereby we eliminated 13 full time sales positions, and replaced the associated sales territory coverage with brokerage arrangements. This change will allow our remaining sales force to more effectively focus on pursuing larger accounts, while our expanded brokerage network will support and expand our “up and down the street” business. In addition, we expect the change to reduce our overall overhead costs by a net $1 million to $1.5 million on an annualized basis. We do not anticipate any further changes to our personnel organization during the balance of 2016.

Stock based compensation is used as an incentive to attract new employees and to compensate existing employees. Stock based compensation includes stock issued and options granted to employees and non-employees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we granted 1,262,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees. The exercise prices range from .6192 cents to .83 cents. The fair value of the stock was based on the trading value of the shares on the date of grant and are being amortized over the vesting period. The fair value of the stock options was calculated using the Black-Sholes model using the following assumptions: expected life in years, 8; volatility, 75.46% to 80.31%; risk free rate of return, 1.24% to 1.73%, and no annual dividends and are being amortized over the vesting period. We anticipate making additional grants in the future. Certain grants that were made in 2015 had shorter vesting periods than the grants that were made during 2016, resulting in higher expense within the prior period. After the quarter closed, we made additional grants to our sales force members who are remaining with the Company after our personnel restructuring.

Legal and professional fees increased $ 72,353 (25%) from $290,032 in 2015 to $362,385 in 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased legal services required as a result of increased business and financing activity. We anticipate legal fees related to our business and financing activities to increase as our business grows.

Travel expenses increased $112,663 (34%) from $335,070 in 2015 to $447,733 in 2016. The increase is due to increased travel related to increased personnel engaging in selling and marketing activities. We anticipate that travel cost for the balance of 2016 will remain comparable to that of the first three quarters of the year.

Rent expense is primarily for our location in Beverly Hills, California. Rent expense for the Beverly Hills office is approximately $8,833 per month. The lease on the office commenced in November 8, 2014 and expires in November 2016. Rent expense also includes monthly parking fees as well as an offsite storage facilities. We have entered into a new lease for office space in 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California is commenced in November 1, 2016 and expires in February 8, 2018.

Marketing and selling expenses decreased $116,371 (21%) from $550,234 in 2015 to $433,863 in 2016. The decrease relates primarily to re-classifying certain expenses categorized as marketing and selling in the period ended September 30, 2015, to personnel expense in the period ending September 30, 2016.

Consulting fees decreased $71,271 (27%) from $263,146 in 2015 to $191,875 in 2016. Our consulting fees vary based on needs. We engage consultants in the areas of sales, operations and accounting. Future consulting fees will be variable.

Director fees increased $86,008 from a credit of ($11,008) in 2015 to an expense of $75,000 in 2016. Annual director fees are anticipated at $50,000 per non-employee director.

Research and development expenses increased $77,534(43%) from 179,340 in 2015 to $256,874 in 2016. During the current quarter, we re-classified certain personnel expenses that had previously been included in Personnel Expense, to Research and Development. These expenses relate to the services performed by our Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, and consultants supporting that employee. The re-classification is shown in both the current period and the prior period. The increase in Research and Development Expense is being driven by an increased need for research and development services, as we continue to expand product offerings, both for our standard SKU’s, and for National Accounts.

Shipping and storage expense increased from $128,800 in 2015 to $319,525 in 2016, an increase of $190,725 (148%). The higher expense in 2016 is due to costs incurred to better position inventory for the national roll-out with Sysco. Shipping and storage expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 24%, as compared with 28% in the prior period. This improvement results from the transition to more efficient shipping options that have become available as our operations have expanded. We anticipate that shipping and storage expense as a percentage of sales will reduce during the balance of the year, as the Company is able to take advantage of more efficient distribution arrangements.

We had operating losses of $7,340,363 and $4,824,271 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $104,834 (30%) from $347,984 in 2015 to $243,150 in 2016. Interest primarily relates to convertible debt that was issued in November, 2015, and converted into stock during February, 2016, and short term notes that were issued in December 2013, which were partially repaid during June of 2015. The stated interest rate on the convertible debt is 10%.

We had net losses of $7,583,513 and $5,172,255 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 we used cash for operations of $ 5,590,671 and also purchased equipment for $985,315.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we used $4,356,965 of cash for operations, and $171,178 for the purchase of equipment.

Our operations to date have been financed by the sale of securities, the issuance of convertible debt and the issuance of short-term debt, including related party advances. Our existing cash and cash equivalents and other working capital may not be sufficient to meet all of the projected cash needs contemplated by our business strategies. We intend to raise capital through equity or debt financing transactions to address both our short term and longer term liquidity needs. However there can be no assurances that we will be able to generate the necessary capital or debt to carry out our current plan of operations.

We lease office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, which expires February 8, 2018.

The aggregate minimum requirements under non-cancelable leases as of September 30, 2016 is $29,783.

During the quarter, the Company raised $2.3 million in a private placement of its equity securities. In accordance with the terms of the private placement, the Company issued 3,593,754 shares of common equity at a price of $.0.64 per share, with warrant coverage of 50%, exercisable for a term of 5 years at $0.75 per share. After the quarter closed, during the first week of October, the Company raised an additional $700,000, in a private placement of its securities, on the same terms as described in the preceding sentence, bringing the total raised to $3 million.

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 are material to stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016.

Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

	●	We established an audit committee during June 30, 2015. We are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards. It is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal control.

	●	We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of our internal control.

	●	Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement internal controls over financial reporting.

Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.

Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
