Liquidity & Capital Resources

To-date, the company has been financed with $20,351,385 in debt and $2,543,941 in equity.

After the conclusion of this Offering, should we hit our minimum funding target, our projected runway is 12 months before we need to raise further capital.

We plan to use the proceeds as set forth in this Form C under "Use of Funds". We don’t have any other sources of capital in the immediate future.

We will likely require additional financing in excess of the proceeds from the Offering in order to perform operations over the lifetime of the Company. Except as otherwise described in this Form C, we do not have additional sources of capital other than the proceeds from the offering. Because of the complexities and uncertainties in establishing a new business strategy, it is not possible to adequately project whether the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to enable us to implement our strategy. This complexity and uncertainty will be increased if less than the maximum amount of securities offered in this offering is sold. The Company may raise additional capital in the future from investors. Although capital may be available for other companies, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive any investments from investors.

Runway & Short/Mid Term Expenses

Indian Peaks Brewing Company cash in hand is $251,306.45, as of August 2024. Over the last three months, revenues have averaged $832,418/month, cost of goods sold has averaged $509,844/month, and operational expenses have averaged $270,954/month, for an average net margin of $51,620 per month. Our intent is to be profitable in 19 months.

There have been no material changes since the date our financials cover. We have disclosed everything of relevance beyond the financial date in the subsequent events portion of our financial review, plus the numbers here.

We expect revenue to follow historical trends, which would include an uptick in distribution sales in Q3 and Q4 and a decrease in own-premise sales in Q4.

We are not currently profitable. The present operating environment is very difficult as an independent brewery. We have been highly profitable in the past. Due to declining sales trends across craft brewing as a whole, we are raising these funds to help consolidate other distressed brewery brands and create a profitable, economically sustainable operating platform moving forward. We believe we can be profitable with the addition of roughly 8000 distributed barrels. By producing beer for other breweries, they can offload operating costs and operating leases and we can reduce operating costs per barrel and improve margin. 

We have begun to raise capital using Regulation D 506(c) to complement Wefunder. Our initial indications of interest increase confidence in our ability to operate while vetting brewing partners to increase our volume and to improve our financial performance.  Additionally, the Company is negotiating a purchase option expiring 3 February, 2026 for Jackman Enterprises, LLC, which is the real estate holding company from which the brewery rents the 1265 Boston property. This property is owned 50/50 by the co-founders of Left Hand Brewing Company.  The purchase price of the company has been agreed to at $4.0 million.  The underlying real estate owned by the company was recently appraised at $5.6 million.Net of the current outstanding mortgage of approximate $980K, the net cost to the Company will be approximately $3 million, depending on timing.  One of the owners will receive approximately $1.5 million in cash when financing is available to cover the remaining amount after proceeds from the capital raise are in hand.  One of the owners has an agreement to accept Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the amount of approximately $1.5 million in exchange for his 50% of Jackman Enterprises, LLC.  This will result in an increase of $1.5 million in equity to the balance sheet.
