All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity

The Company consolidates the financial statements of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which it is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, consideration is given to a number of factors, including the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic success as well as the Company’s exposure to absorb the losses and obligations of such entities. Late Night Express Courier Service, Inc., an independent company providing delivery services to The Fresh Diet customers, was determined to be a VIE that was required to be consolidated under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and accordingly, was included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2015.

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. 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.

Principles of Consolidation

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., The Fresh Diet, Haley, and Gourmet. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

The Company consolidates the financial statements of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which it is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, consideration is given to a number of factors, including the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic success as well as the Company’s exposure to absorb the losses and obligations of such entities. Late Night Express Courier Service, Inc., an independent company providing delivery services to The Fresh Diet customers, was determined to be a VIE that was required to be consolidated under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, as set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and accordingly, was included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. All material inter-company transactions and balances of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated in consolidation.

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. 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.

Revenue from the sale of meals is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is upon the delivery of the product to the Company’s customers. Meal programs are sold weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. Meal programs are non-returnable and non-refundable if not cancelled within 3 days of initial delivery. Refunds of cancelled meal plans are recorded at the time of cancellation.

Table of Contents

Deferred revenue consists of cash received for meals that have not yet been delivered to the customer.

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, plus kitchen expenses including payroll, contract labor, kitchen related depreciation, operating expenses, and rent; preparation, product conversion, packing and handling, shipping and delivery costs including delivery payroll.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of cash received for meals that have not yet been delivered to the customer.

Advertising Costs

The Company’s policy is to report advertising costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The total amounts charged to advertising expense were approximately $304,823 and $3,237, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The total amounts charged to advertising expense were approximately $799,475 and $15,051, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings 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.

Dilutive shares at June 30, 2015:

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 warrants for holders to purchase the following additional shares: 2,828,405 shares at a price of $0.575 per share; 448,011 shares at a price of $0.55 per share; 94,783 shares at a price of $0.25 per share; and 700,000 shares at a price of $0.01 per share.

Table of Contents

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 vest on January 1, 2015, 390,000 RSUs vest on July 1, 2015 and 300,000 RSU’s vest on December 31, 2015; 75,000 RSU”s vest 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 members of the Company’s Board of Directors were awarded the aggregate number of RSU’s which vest according to the following schedule: 270,000 RSU’s vest on July 1, 2015; 270,000 RSU’s vest on July 1, 2016; and 270,000 RSU’s vest on July 1, 2017.

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 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.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“this Update”) as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The Board received feedback that having different balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium creates unnecessary complexity. Recognizing debt issuance costs as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) also is different from the guidance in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which requires that transaction costs be deducted from the carrying value of the financial liability and not recorded as separate assets. Additionally, the requirement to recognize debt issuance costs as deferred charges conflicts with the guidance in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, which states that debt issuance costs are similar to debt discounts and in effect reduce the proceeds of borrowing, thereby increasing the effective interest rate. Concepts Statement 6 further states that debt issuance costs cannot be an asset because they provide no future economic benefit. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU, if it is deemed to be applicable.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS

The Fresh Diet

The Fresh Diet Merger on August 15, 2014 was accounted for as an acquisition of an ongoing business in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where the Company was treated as the acquirer and the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their preliminary estimated fair values. The total purchase price of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities included; cash, inventory, accounts receivable, fixed assets, deposits and trade names and, accounts payable and notes payable.

The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $12,645,912, which consisted of the following:

Cash	$	3,000,000
Common Stock – 6,889,937 shares		9,645,912
Total purchase price	$	12,645,912

Tangible assets acquired	$	2,567,223
Liabilities assumed		11,035,724
Net tangible assets		(8,468,501	)
Customer relationships		2,700,000
Tradenames		1,800,000
Goodwill		16,614,413
Total purchase price	$	12,645,912

Table of Contents

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management with the assistance of a third party valuation expert. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

During the six months ended June 30 2015, the Company paid the amount of $3,000,000 in cash to certain former shareholders of The Fresh Diet, and cancelled 3,110,063 shares of common stock with a value of $4,354,088; these shares were originally intended to be issued in the acquisition of The Fresh Diet. This resulted in a decrease in the value of The Fresh Diet acquisition in the net amount of $1,354,088; this amount was credited to goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2015; see Note 9.

The purchase price consisted of (i) One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars in cash, (ii) a Convertible Promissory Note in the face amount of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars, and (iii) stock options issued by the Company to acquire one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of its common stock over the four year period following the closing date at an exercise price per share of $1.46. The Note is secured by the Company’s grant of a second priority secured interest in the assets of OFB. In addition, the company is contingently liable for certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition date. The Company believes it is likely that these payments will be made, and accordingly has recorded the entire amount of $225,000 as a contingent liability on its balance sheet at acquisition.

As detailed in ASC 350, the Company tests for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill. The analysis completed in 2014 determined that there was no impairment to goodwill assets.

15. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Pursuant to the OFB acquisition, the Company is contingently liable for certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition date. The Company believes it is likely that these payments will be made, and accordingly recorded the entire amount of $225,000 as a contingent liability on its balance sheet at acquisition. During the three and six months ended June 30 2015, payments in the aggregate amount of $26,250 and $52,500 have been made under this contingent liability; at June 30, 2015, the balance of the contingent liability is $120,000 related to the OFB acquisition.

The Company has recorded a contingent liability of $450,000 representing the estimated potential amounts payable pursuant to certain litigation discussed below.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Table of Contents

On June 1, 2012, nine persons, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a Collective and Class Action Complaint in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, against Late Night Express Courier Services, Inc. (FL) (“LNE”) and The Fresh Diet Inc. (“The Fresh Diet”) and certain individuals entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al., Case No. 12 CV 4339. On or about October 26, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint (“Complaint”) adding additional individual Defendants. The Complaint seeks to recover alleged unpaid overtime wages on behalf of drivers for LNE who delivered meals to The Fresh Diet customers in the tri-state area. In an opinion dated September 29, 2014 (“Opinion”), the District Court Judge denied the Plaintiffs’ motion for Summary Judgment which sought a holding that all the Plaintiffs were employees of Defendants, as was Defendants’ cross-motion for Summary Judgment seeking a holding that Plaintiffs were independent contractors, the Court finding that there were questions of fact that could not be resolved on motions. In addition, the Plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class of 109 drivers was denied. In the same Opinion, Defendants’ motion to decertify the case from 29 potential opt-in Plaintiffs down to the 9 named Plaintiffs was granted, and the possible claims of the remaining 20 were dismissed without prejudice. On or about February 24, 2015, a second action was filed in the New York Federal District Court, Southern District, on behalf of 6 (of the 20) additional driver-Plaintiffs entitled Hernandez, et al. v. The Fresh Diet Inc., et al. 15 CV 1338, containing essentially the same allegations, and adding the Company as a party defendant because of its acquisition of LNE. In addition, two of the Plaintiffs from the Complaint also joined the second lawsuit asserting claims for retaliation. The two cases were assigned to the same Federal Judge (since they are related), but were not consolidated for discovery or trial. Prior to the second action and on January 21, 2015, the parties appeared before Federal Magistrate Judge Cott for mediation. The Magistrate Judge did not succeed in settling the case. On March 17, 2015, the Federal Judge stayed both cases, and referred both of them to the Court’s mediation program for further mediation within 60 days. The mediator did not succeed and the Company is considering moving for summary judgment in the first action and dismissal on the pleadings in the second action. With respect to the second instituted litigation, inasmuch as the litigation is in its early phase and discovery has not commenced it is too speculative to predict an outcome. However, we believe we will have available to us many of the same defenses as in the first litigation. Accordingly, given the uncertainty of both of these cases and given the additional Plaintiffs in the second action, the Company has recorded a contingent liability of $450,000 representing the estimated potential amounts payable in the litigations, even though it is possible that the amount of liability or settlement may actually be less than the reserved amount.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.

Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "explore", "consider", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:

●	Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,

●	Our ability to implement our business plan,

●	Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,

●	Our ability to integrate the operations of our acquired businesses,

●	Our dependence on one major customer,

●	Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,

●	Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,

●	Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current or anticipated business,

●	Changes in the demand for our services,

●	The degree and nature of our competition,

●	The lack of diversification of our business plan,

●	The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and

●	Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and environmental weather conditions.

We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this report. 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.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements included in this report 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. 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.

Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $36,440 for doubtful accounts receivable at June 30, 2015, and $46,145 at June 30, 2014. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. Generally, these liabilities increased as the price of the Company’s stock increased (with resultant gain), and decreased as the Company’s stock decreased (yielding a loss). In December 2012, the Company removed these liabilities from its balance sheet by reclassifying them as equity.

Income Taxes

The Company has a history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as the Company begins to provide evidence that a continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a basis for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Background

We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), a Delaware corporation, for 500,000 shares of our common stock.

On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc. from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska. The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones are met over the next one or two years. Those milestones have been met. The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000. The loan was repaid in November 2013 via the issuance of a loan from Fifth Third Bank. Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a supplier and had sold products to the Company.

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, effective November 2, 2012, the Company purchased assets of The Haley Group, LLC. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, effective June 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interests of Organic Food Brokers, LLC.

Table of Contents

On August 15, 2014, pursuant to a merger agreement, the Company acquired The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“FD”) through a reverse triangular merger as the registrant created a subsidiary corporation that merged with and into FD with FD being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price consisted of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $14,000,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the company cancelled 3,110,063 of these shares with a value of $4,354,088 in exchange for a cash payment of $3,000,000 to former Fresh Diet shareholders. At the time of acquisition, the majority of FD’s current liabilities consisted of approximately $3.8 million of deferred revenues and approximately $2.1 million in short term commercial loans and there were additional ordinary course of business expenses such as trade payables, payroll and sales taxes which vary from month to month. In addition, it had some long term obligations the bulk of which consist of interest free loans from FD’s former shareholders in the amount of approximately $2.2 million which are not due for three years. Prior to the merger FD had purchased an immaterial amount of product from the Company. FD operates as an independent subsidiary subject to oversight of its board of directors and the Company’s President and CEO.

Transactions With a Major Customer

Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth immediately below and above in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and also in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.

Relationship with U.S. Foods

The Company’s largest customer, US Foods, Inc. and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 43% and 72% of total sales in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, sales to USF accounted for 43% and 74% of total sales, respectively. A contract between our subsidiary, Food Innovations, Inc. and USF entered an optional renewal period in December 2012 but was automatically extended for an additional 12 months in each of January 1, 2013 and 2014. On January 26, 2015 we executed a Vendor Program Agreement between Food Innovations, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and U.S. Foods, Inc. The term of the Agreement is from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 and provides for up to three (3) automatic annual renewals thereafter if no party gives the other 30 days’ notice of its intent not to renew.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenue

Revenue increased by $6,083,474 or approximately 94% to $12,532,501 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $6,449,027 in the prior year. Approximately $4,898,851 (or 80%) of the increase was attributable to revenue associated with The Fresh Diet, Inc. which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014, and approximately $1,184,623 of the increase was due to organic growth of the Company.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.

Any changes in the food distribution, specialty foods and direct to consumer delivered meals operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $8,770,802, an increase of $4,306,526 or approximately 96% compared to cost of goods sold of $4,464,276 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014 and to an increase in organic revenues. Cost of goods sold is made up of the following expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $3,863,547; and kitchen operating expenses including payroll, rents, depreciation, and preparation; shipping and delivery expenses including payroll and handling; and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $4,907,255. Total gross margin was approximately 30.0% of sales in 2015, compared to approximately 30.8% of sales in 2014. The decrease in gross margins for 2015 are primarily attributable to the operations of The Fresh Diet which we acquired on August 15, 2014. The operations of The Fresh Diet also included a non-cash operational charge associated with the valuation of deferred revenues which had the effect of lowering Fresh Diet’s gross margin.

In 2015, we continued to price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share. We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold will either remain stable or possibly improve slightly.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $4,277,784 or approximately 328% to $5,580,890 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1,303,106 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to costs associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014.

Interest expense

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $122,342 or approximately 48% to $132,162 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $254,504 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Approximately 25% or $33,005 of the interest expense was accrued or paid interest on the company’s notes payable; approximately 75% or $99,157 of the interest was a non-cash GAAP accounting charge associated with the amortization of the discounts on the Company’s notes payable.

Net (Loss) Income attributable to Innovative Food Holdings, Inc.

For the reasons above, the Company had a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 of ($1,951,353) which is an increase in loss of ($2,378,494) or approximately 557% compared to a net income of $427,141 during the three months ended June 30, 2014, although approximately $1,623,664 or 83%, of such loss was due to non-cash GAAP accounting charges including the amortization of the discount on deferred revenues acquired, non-cash compensation expense and amortization of discounted notes.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenue

Revenue increased by $11,711,825 or approximately 98% to $23,714,318 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $12,002,493 in the prior year. Approximately $9,503,820 (or 81%) of the increase was attributable to revenue associated with The Fresh Diet, Inc. which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014, and approximately $2,208,005 of the increase was due to organic growth of the Company. In addition, as a result of the acquisition, pursuant to GAAP accounting rules governing the fair value of deferred revenue in an acquisition, the Company’s gross sales were reduced in the amount of $361,227 due to the amortization of the discount on acquired deferred revenue.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $16,956,107, an increase of $8,761,976 or approximately 107% compared to cost of goods sold of $8,194,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with The Fresh Diet, which the Company acquired effective August 15, 2014 and to an increase in organic revenues. Cost of goods sold is made up of the following expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $7,297,450; and kitchen operating expenses including payroll, rents, depreciation, and preparation; shipping and delivery expenses including payroll and handling; and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $9,658,657. Total gross margin was approximately 28.5% of sales in 2015, compared to approximately 31.7% of sales in 2014. The decrease in gross margins for 2015 are primarily attributable to the operations of The Fresh Diet which we acquired on August 15, 2014. The operations of The Fresh Diet also included a non-cash operational charge associated with the valuation of deferred revenues which had the effect of lowering Fresh Diet’s gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Other Income

Other income was $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was due to the adjustment of the contingent liability due to The Haley Group, LLC pursuant to the terms of the Haley acquisition.

Interest expense

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $277,366 or approximately 51% to $263,932 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $541,298 during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Approximately 25% or $65,618 of the interest expense was accrued or paid interest on the company’s notes payable; approximately 75% or $198,314 of the interest was a non-cash GAAP accounting charge associated with the amortization of the discounts on the Company’s notes payable.

Net Income attributable to variable interest entities

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized income of $1,544 from a variable interest entity acquired as part of the acquisition of The Fresh Diet during the current period. There was no such income or loss in the comparable period of the prior year.

In addition, current liabilities included a deferred tax liability of $1,069,200, which is related to intangible assets acquired in The Fresh Diet transaction. The deferred tax liability may be adjusted based on the value of assets but does not affect the Company’s current profitability or current cash obligations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had cash used in operating activities in the amount of $2,245,502. This consisted of the Company’s net loss of $(3,968,007), offset by non-cash charges for the amortization of discount on notes payable of $198,314; depreciation and amortization of $608,839; and stock based compensation in the amount of $2,284,110.

Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 13 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of new items and enter new markets, acquire new businesses as well as identify new and other consumer and food service oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification.

2015 Plans

During 2015, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations we plan to attempt to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets in both the consumer and foodservice sector, exploring potential acquisition opportunities and continuing to extend our focus from a mainly wholesale foodservice business directed towards chefs to expanding sales and market opportunities in the direct to consumer specialty food market through the growth of The Fresh Diet’s existing sales channels and through a variety of direct to consumer sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. In addition we are currently exploring the introduction of a variety of new product categories and new product lines, to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

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 is material to investors.

a. No Change. Since the Statement Date there has been no material adverse change in the good standing, business, operations, assets, or financial or other condition of Obligors except as specifically disclosed to Lender in writing or in financial statements delivered by Obligors to Lender since the Statement Date. Since the Statement Date, no Obligor has entered into, incurred, or assumed any long-term debt, mortgages, material leases or oral or written commitments, nor commenced any significant project, nor made any purchase or acquisition of any significant property other than the Illinois Real Estate Security and other assets disclosed to Lender in writing.

d. Taxes.

(i) Each Obligor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns that are required to be filed and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against them or any of their property other than taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which such Obligor has established adequate reserves.

(ii) Lender and Obligors believe that since Note 4 is not secured by Florida real estate, the documentary stamp tax due under Florida law in connection with Note 4 is limited to the amount of $2,450.00 pursuant to §201.08 (1) of the Florida Statutes (2015) (“Maximum Tax”). Obligors, jointly and severally, warrant that they will pay to the Lender, its successors and assigns, all sums of money, with interest at the rate equal to the Default Rate, which the Lender shall or may advance, pay or cause to be paid, or become liable to pay, on account of or in connection with the failure to pay any documentary stamp taxes on Note 4 in excess of the Maximum Tax (herein “Taxes”) and any interest and penalties associated with such Taxes. Obligors will make such payment to the Lender within ten (10) days of Lender's demand therefore, whether Lender shall have paid out such sum, or any part thereof or not. Upon receipt of such payment by the Lender, the Lender agrees to remit such payments to the appropriate Governmental Authority, if not previously paid. In any accounting which may be had between the Lender and Obligors, Lender shall be entitled to charge for any and all disbursements in and about the matters herein contemplated made by it in good faith, under the belief that it is or was liable for the Taxes so assessed. Obligors waive any defense to an action by Lender to enforce payment of Loan 4 and collection of any Indebtedness based upon nonpayment of any documentary stamp tax on Loan 4.

e. Assets. Each Obligor has good and marketable title to all property and assets reflected in the most current Financial Statements, except property and assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the respective dates thereof. No Obligor has any outstanding liens on any of their properties or assets nor are there any security agreements to which either of them is a party, or title retention agreements, whether in the form of leases or otherwise, of any personal property except as reflected in the most current Financial Statements.

7. Each Obligor acknowledges that they have no claims of offset or defenses to the Indebtedness and hereby confirm that there has been no Event of Default under the Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Obligor waives any and all claims of offset or defenses to the Loan Documents and the Indebtedness as a condition to the extension of the additional credit represented by Loan 4 by Lender hereunder.

8. These covenants shall be deemed supplemental to the covenants contained within the Agreement unless they expressly conflict with such covenants in which event these provisions shall prevail.

9. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property hereby mortgaged and conveyed or so intended, together with its rents, issues and profits, unto the Lender and its successors and assigns, forever, for the uses and purposes herein set forth, subject, however, only to the Permitted Encumbrances (hereinafter defined).

The Mortgagor hereby covenants with the Lender and with the purchaser at any foreclosure sale: that at the execution and delivery hereof, Mortgagor owns the Property and has good, indefeasible estate therein, in fee simple; that the Property is free from all encumbrances and exceptions to title (and any claim of any other person) other than those identified as Permitted Encumbrances (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement); that it has good and lawful right to sell, mortgage and convey the Property; and that Mortgagor and its successors and assigns shall forever warrant and defend the Property against all claims and demands whatsoever.

If and when Borrowers have paid all of the Secured Indebtedness, and have performed and observed all of the agreements, terms, conditions, provisions and warranties contained herein and in the Loan Agreement and in all of the other Loan Documents, and there exist no commitments of the Lender under the Loan Documents which could give rise to Secured Indebtedness, then this Mortgage and the estate, right and interest of the Lender shall cease and shall be released at the cost of Mortgagor, but otherwise shall remain in full force and effect.

III. GENERAL AGREEMENTS.

3.1 Payment of Indebtedness. Mortgagor shall pay promptly and when due all amounts owing in respect of the principal and interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and all other Secured Indebtedness at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents.

3.2 Taxes. The Mortgagor shall pay, before the same become delinquent or subject to interest or penalties (except to the extent escrowed or contested in good faith in accordance with the Note or the Loan Agreement), all charges, liens and encumbrances which now are or may hereafter become a lien upon the mortgaged premises or any part thereof including, but not limited to, all ground or other rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and utility rates.

3.3 Impositions.

(a) Mortgagor shall pay prior to the date any penalty for late payment shall be incurred, all special taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer charges, and any other charges, fees, taxes, claims, levies, expenses, liens and assessments, ordinary or extraordinary, governmental or nongovernmental, statutory or otherwise (all of the foregoing being herein collectively referred to as “Impositions”), that may be asserted against the Property or any part thereof or interest therein.

(b) Mortgagor may, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

(c) If Mortgagor fails to pay any such Impositions and in the absence of any such contest by it, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such Impositions and/or to secure the release of any Lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by Lender shall constitute Secured Indebtedness hereunder, shall be payable by Borrowers to the Lender, on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable under the Loan Agreement.

3.4 Insurance.

(a) The Mortgagor shall insure the Property in accordance with the terms of Section 5.7 of the Loan Agreement.

Any proceeds applied to the payment of Secured Indebtedness shall be applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In no event shall such application relieve Borrowers from payment in full of all installments of principal and interest which thereafter become due in the order of maturity thereof.

3.5 Condemnation and Eminent Domain. Mortgagor shall give the Lender prompt notice of all proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or a taking by eminent domain or like process (herein collectively called “Taking”), of all or any part of the Property or affecting any related easement or appurtenance (including severance of, consequential damage to, or change in grade of streets), and shall deliver to the Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding.

Mortgagor may contest any lien claim arising from any work performed, material furnished, or obligation incurred by Mortgagor upon furnishing the Lender, security and indemnification reasonably satisfactory to the Lender for the final payment and discharge of the lien.

(b) Mortgagor may not sell, lease or convey all or any part of the Property or any interest therein.

3.9 Change in Tax Laws.

Nothing contained in this Section 3.9 shall be construed as obligating Mortgagor to pay any portion of the Lender’s federal or state income or corporate franchise tax.

3.10 Assignment of Leases and Rents. All right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to all present leases affecting the Property and including and together with any and all future leases, written or oral, upon all or any part of the Property and together with all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, avails and profits from or due or arising out of the Property are hereby transferred and assigned simultaneously herewith to the Lender as further security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness. All future leases affecting the Property shall be submitted by Mortgagor to Lender for its approval prior to execution. Each lease shall be subordinate to this Mortgage. It is the intention of Mortgagor that this assignment contained in this paragraph shall be a present assignment; however, it is expressly understood and agreed, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, that Lender shall not exercise any of the rights or powers conferred upon it by this paragraph until an Event of Default shall exist under this Mortgage. From time to time, Mortgagor shall furnish the Lender with executed copies of each of the leases and with estoppel letters from each tenant under each of the leases, which estoppel letters shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and shall be delivered within ten (10) days after the Lender’s written demand, or as otherwise provided in such leases.

Following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, (a) the Lender shall have the rights and powers as are provided herein and (b) this Mortgage shall constitute a direction to each lessee under the leases and each guarantor thereof, if any, to pay all rents directly to the Lender without proof of the Event of Default under this Mortgage.

If Mortgagor, as lessor under any Lease, shall neglect or refuse to perform, observe and keep all of the covenants, provisions and agreements contained in such lease, then the Lender may perform and comply with any such lease covenants, agreements and provisions. All verifiable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in complying with such covenants, agreements, and provisions shall constitute indebtedness secured hereby and shall be payable upon demand with interest at the Default Rate.

The Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any lease, and Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree, except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any lease or under or by reason of its assignments and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of all alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in such lease. Should the Lender incur any such liability, loss or damage under any lease or under or by reason of its assignment, or in the defense of any claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be secured hereby. Mortgagor shall reimburse the Lender therefor immediately upon demand with interest payable at the Default Rate. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that upon the date hereof it shall execute and deliver to the Lender a certified rent roll listing all tenants and occupants currently leasing, using or occupying any part or portion of the Premises, and to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, such rent roll contains true, complete and accurate information as to all matters described therein.

3.11 Fixture Filing. With respect to all fixtures located on the Property, the filing hereof in the real estate records of the county in which such Property is located shall operate from the time of filing as a fixture filing with respect to such Property, and the following information is applicable for the purpose of such fixture filing:

The Mortgagor is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida whose Organization Number is ________.		Name and Address of the Secured Party: The Lender having the address described in the Preamble hereof, from which address information concerning the security interest may be obtained.

This instrument covers goods or items of personal property which are or are to become Fixtures upon the Property. The name of the record owner of the Property on which such Fixtures are or are to be located is the Mortgagor.

3.12 Uniform Commercial Code. This Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement as that term is used in the Code with respect to: (i) all sums at any time on deposit for the benefit of the Lender pursuant to any of the provisions of this Mortgage; and (ii) any part of the Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property (including all replacements, additions and substitutions) other than real estate (collectively “Collateral”). All of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in the Collateral is hereby assigned to the Lender to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness and the performance of all of Mortgagor’s obligations. All of the terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Mortgage apply to the Collateral as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Property.

At any time after an Event of Default under this Mortgage has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall have the remedies of a Secured Party under the Code, including without limitation the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Collateral or any part thereof.

The remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Lender, including having the Collateral deemed part of the realty upon any foreclosure so long as any part of the Secured Indebtedness remains unsatisfied. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the security interest created hereby is specifically intended to cover and include all leases between the Mortgagor, as lessor, and various tenants, as lessee, including all extensions and renewals of the lease terms, as well as any amendments to or replacements of the leases, together with all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgagor as lessor, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, the present and continuing right to: (i) make claim for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all of the rents, and moneys payable as damages or in lieu of the rents and moneys payable as the purchase price of the Property or any part thereof or claims for money and other sums of money payable or receivable thereunder howsoever payable; and (ii) bring actions and proceedings thereunder or for the enforcement thereof, and to do any and all things which Mortgagor or any lessor is or may become entitled to do under the leases.

3.13 Releases. Without notice and without regard to the consideration therefor, and to the existence at that time of any inferior liens, the Lender may release from the lien created hereby all or any part of the Property, or release from liability any person obligated to repay any Secured Indebtedness, without affecting the liability of any party to any of the Note, this Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents (including without limitation any guaranty given as additional security) and without in any way affecting the priority of the lien created hereby. The Lender may agree with any liable party to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the Secured Indebtedness. Such agreement shall not in any way release or impair the lien created by this Mortgage or reduce or modify the liability of any person or entity obligated personally to repay the Secured Indebtedness, but shall extend the lien created by this mortgage as against the title of all parties having any interest, subject to the Secured Indebtedness in the Property.

3.14 Further Assurances. Mortgagor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, from time to time, it will, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may reasonably be necessary to fully effectuate the intent of this Mortgage, including without limitation, reimbursing the Lender for the costs of appraisals of the Property, to the extent that the Lender reasonably determines in good faith that such appraisals are required by any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any interpretation thereof, and any rules promulgated to implement such provisions. In the event that Mortgagor shall fail to do any of the foregoing, the Lender may, after ten (10) days’ written notice to the Mortgagor, in its sole discretion, do so in the name of Mortgagor.

IV. EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

4.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (regardless of the reason therefor) shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Mortgage:

(a) The occurrence of an “Event of Default,” as such term is defined in Article VII of the Loan Agreement;

(b) Failure of Mortgagor to perform, keep or observe any covenant, agreement, representation, warranty or other provision contained in this Mortgage; or

4.2 Acceleration of Maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Indebtedness shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Upon acceleration, the Lender may immediately proceed to foreclose this Mortgage and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by law or in equity conferred and pursue all remedies afforded to a mortgagee under and pursuant to applicable law.

4.3 Remedies Cumulative and Non-Waiver. No remedy or right of the Lender hereunder or under the Note, or any of the Loan Documents or otherwise, or available under applicable law, shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each such remedy or right shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing under any such document or under applicable law. No delay in the exercise of, or omission to exercise, any remedy or right accruing on the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or a different nature, nor shall it extend or affect any grace period. Every remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lender. All obligations of the Mortgagor, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Lender shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by law or in the Note or contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Secured Indebtedness or any security therefor.

4.4 Litigation Expenses. In any proceeding to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage or enforce any other remedy of the Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents, or in any other proceeding in connection with any of the Loan Documents or any of the Property in which the Lender is named as a party, there shall be allowed and included, as additional indebtedness in the judgment or decree resulting all related expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Lender. Such expenses shall include: reasonable attorney’s fees, appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographer’s charges, publication costs, survey costs, environmental inspection and report costs, and costs of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and any similar data and assurances with respect to title to the Property as the Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute or defend in such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of the Premises or the Property. All foregoing expenses, and such expenses as may be incurred in the protection of any of the Property and the maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage, including the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by the Lender in any litigation affecting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, or the Property, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of such judgment or decree), shall be due and payable by Mortgagor upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

4.5 Lender’s Performance of Mortgagor’s Obligations. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Lender either before or after acceleration of the Secured Indebtedness or the foreclosure of the lien hereof and during the period of redemption, if any, may, but shall not be required to, make any payment or perform any act herein, in the Note, any of the Loan Documents or any document or instrument related thereto which is required of Mortgagor (whether or not Mortgagor is personally liable therefor) in any form and manner deemed expedient to the Lender. Lender may, but shall not be required to, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on any permitted prior mortgage or encumbrances and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Premises, or contest any Impositions and may, but shall not be required to, complete construction, furnishing and equipping of the Improvements upon the Premises and rent, operate and manage the premises and such Improvements and pay operating costs and expenses, including management fees, of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Premises and Improvements shall be operational and usable for their intended purposes. All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized, and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other monies advanced by the Lender to protect the Premises and the lien hereof, or to complete construction, furnishing and equipping or to rent, operate and manage the Premises and such Improvements or to pay any such operating costs and expenses thereof or to keep the Premises and Improvements operational and usable for their intended purposes, shall constitute Secured Indebtedness, whether or not they exceed the amount of the Note, and shall become due and payable upon demand and with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The Lender in making any payment hereby authorized: (a) for the payment of Impositions, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; (b) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any other prior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim or lien which may be asserted; or (c) for the completion of construction, furnishing or equipping of the Improvements on the Premises or the rental, operation or management of the Premises or the payment of operating cost and expenses thereof, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as the Lender may deem appropriate and may enter into such contracts therefor as the Lender may deem appropriate to the extent necessary to keep the Premises and Improvements operational and usable for their intended purposes or may perform the same itself.

All advances, disbursements and expenditures (collectively “Advances”) made by the Lender after an Event of Default, before and during foreclosure, prior to sale, and where applicable, after sale, for the following purposes, including interest thereon at the rate of default as set forth in the Loan Agreement, are hereinafter referred to as “Protective Advances” and shall have the benefit of all applicable provisions of the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Act, 735 ILCS 5/15 1101 et. seq. (the “Act”):

(1) Advances pursuant to this Section 4.5.

(2) Any amount expended by the Lender in Restoring the Property to the extent necessary to keep the Premises and Improvements operational and usable for their intended purposes in excess of the actual or estimated proceeds of insurance or condemnation, which excess shall constitute additional Secured Indebtedness;

(3) Advances in accordance with the terms of this mortgage to: (a) protect, preserve or restore the mortgaged real estate; (b) preserve the lien of this Mortgage or the priority thereof; or (c) enforce this Mortgage;

(4) When due installments of real estate taxes and other impositions; other obligations authorized by this Mortgage; or with court approval, any other amounts in connection with other liens, encumbrances or interests reasonably necessary to preserve the status of title, all as referred to in this Section 4.5 of this Mortgage;

(5) Reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with: (a) the exercise of the Lender’s rights to make Protective Advances; (b) the foreclosure of this Mortgage; (c) any other litigation or administrative proceeding relating to the Property to which Lender may be or become or be threatened or contemplated to be a party, without fault on its part, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings; or (d) in the preparation for the commencement or defense of any such suit or proceeding; including filing fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documents and expert evidence, witness fees, stenographer’s charges, publication costs, survey costs, environmental inspection and report costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of judgment) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title charges and examinations, foreclosure minutes, title insurance policies, appraisals, and similar data and assurances with respect to title and value as the Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute or defend such suit or, in case of foreclosure, to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to the foreclosure judgment the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property;

(6) Payment by the Lender of any Impositions as may be required by this Mortgage;

(7) The Lender’s Advances of any amount required to make up a deficiency in deposits for installments of Impositions as may be required by this Mortgage;

(8) Expenses incurred and expenditures made by the Lender for any one or more of the following: (a) premiums upon casualty and liability insurance made by Lender whether or not Lender or a receiver is in possession, if reasonably required without regard to the limitation to maintaining insurance in effect at the time any receiver or mortgagee takes possession of the Property; (b) expenditures in connection with Restoring the Property to the extent necessary to keep the Premises and Improvements operational and usable for their intended purposes in excess of available insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (c) payments required or deemed by Lender to be for the benefit of the Property or required to be made by the owner of the Property under any grant or declaration of easement, easement agreement, agreement with any adjoining land owners or instruments creating covenants or restrictions for the benefit of or affecting the Property; (d) operating deficits incurred by Lender in possession or reimbursed by Lender to any receiver; and (e) all amounts paid to any public authority for the use or occupancy of any street, alley, or public way relative to the Property.

All Protective Advances shall constitute Secured Indebtedness and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate. This Mortgage shall be a lien for all Protective Advances as to subsequent purchasers and judgment creditors from the time the Mortgage is recorded.

4.6 Right of Possession. In any case in which the Lender has a right to institute foreclosure proceedings (whether or not the entire principal sum secured hereby becomes immediately due and payable or whether before or after the institution of foreclosure proceedings or whether before or after judgment thereunder and at all times until the confirmation of sale) and upon the Lender’s request to the court, Mortgagor shall, immediately upon the Lender’s demand, surrender to the Lender, and the Lender shall be entitled to take, actual possession of the Property or any part thereof, personally or by its Lender or attorneys. The Lender may enter upon and take and maintain possession or may apply to the court in which a foreclosure is pending to be placed in possession of all or any part of the Property, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Mortgagor or the then owner of the Property relating thereto. The Lender may exclude Mortgagor, such owner, and any agents and servants from the Property. As attorney-in-fact or agent of Mortgagor or such owner, or in its own name, the Lender may hold, operate, manage, and control all or any part of the Property and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its agents. The Lender shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as it may deem proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Property, including actions for recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent, all without notice to Mortgagor.

4.7 Priority of Rent Payments. Any rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Property received by the Lender after taking possession of the Property, or pursuant to any assignment to the Lender under the provisions of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, shall be applied as provided under the Act or, in the case of a receivership, as the court may determine.

4.8 Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time after, the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such complaint is filed shall appoint a receiver of the Property whenever the Lender when entitled to possession so requests. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, including the power to make leases to be binding upon all parties, including the Mortgagor after redemption, the purchaser at a sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and any person acquiring an interest in the mortgaged real estate after entry of a judgment of foreclosure. In addition, such receiver shall also have the following powers: (a) to extend or modify any then existing leases, which extensions and modifications may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the Secured Indebtedness and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all persons whose interests in the Property are subject to the lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption, discharge of the mortgage indebtedness, satisfaction of any foreclosure judgment, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser; and (b) all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property during the whole of the period of receivership. The court from time to time, either before or after entry of judgment of foreclosure, may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in his hands in payment in whole or in part of: (a) the Secured Indebtedness, or any amounts included in any judgment of foreclosure or supplemental judgment or other item for which the Lender is authorized to make a Protective Advance, and (b) the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.

4.9 Foreclosure Sale. In the event of any foreclosure sale, the Property may be sold in one or more parcels. The Lender may be the purchaser at any foreclosure sale.

4.10 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Property shall be distributed and applied in accordance with the Loan Documents, subject to applicable law.

4.11 Insurance Upon Foreclosure. In case of an insured loss after foreclosure proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any insurance policy or policies, if not applied in restoring the Property shall be used to pay the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure that may be entered in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid as the court may direct. In case of the foreclosure of this Mortgage, the court in its judgment may provide that the judgment creditor may cause a new or additional loss clause to be attached to each of said policies making the loss thereunder payable to said judgment creditor; and any such foreclosure judgment may further provide, unless the right of redemption has been waived, that in case of redemption under said judgment, pursuant to the Act, then, and in every such case, the redemptory may cause the preceding loss clause attached to each insurance policy to be canceled and a new loss clause to be attached thereto, making the loss thereunder payable to such redemptory. In the event of foreclosure sale, the Lender is hereby authorized, but not required, without the consent of Mortgagor, to assign or cause a receiver to assign any and all insurance policies to the purchaser at the sale, or to take such other action as the Lender may deem advisable, to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of the said insurance policies.

4.12 WAIVER OF STATUTORY RIGHTS. MORTGAGOR SHALL NOT APPLY FOR OR AVAIL ITSELF OF ANY APPRAISEMENT, VALUATION, REDEMPTION, STAY, EXTENSION, OR EXEMPTION LAWS, OR ANY SO-CALLED “MORATORIUM LAWS,” NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED, IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR HINDER THE ENFORCEMENT OR FORECLOSURE OF THIS MORTGAGE, AND MORTGAGOR HEREBY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF SUCH LAWS. MORTGAGOR, FOR ITSELF AND ALL WHO MAY CLAIM THROUGH OR UNDER IT, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE THE PROPERTY AND ESTATES COMPRISING THE PROPERTY MARSHALED UPON ANY FORECLOSURE OF THE LIEN OF THIS MORTGAGE, AND AGREES THAT ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO FORECLOSE SUCH LIEN MAY ORDER THE PROPERTY SOLD IN ITS ENTIRETY. MORTGAGOR FURTHER WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION FROM FORECLOSURE AND FROM SALE UNDER ANY ORDER OR DECREE OF FORECLOSURE OF THE LIEN CREATED BY THIS MORTGAGE, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF: (i) ANY TRUST ESTATE OF WHICH THE PREMISES ARE A PART, ALL BENEFICIALLY INTERESTED PERSONS; (ii) EACH AND EVERY PERSON ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY OR TITLE TO THE PREMISES SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THIS MORTGAGE; AND (iii) ALL OTHER PERSONS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY ILLINOIS LAW.

V. MISCELLANEOUS.

5.1 Notices. Any notice that the Lender or Mortgagor may desire or be required to give to the other shall be in writing and shall be mailed or delivered in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement.

5.3 Covenants Run with Land. All of the covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the land constituting the Premises.

5.4 GOVERNING LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF).

5.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies in this Mortgage are cumulative. The holder of the Note and of every other obligation secured hereby may recover judgment, issue execution therefor, and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without first exhausting and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or remedy.

5.6 Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage, or any paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word, or their application, in any circumstance, is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid part were never included.

5.7 Non-Waiver. Unless expressly provided in this Mortgage to the contrary, no consent or waiver, express or implied, by any party, to or of any breach or default by any other party shall be deemed a consent to or waiver of the performance by such defaulting party of any other obligations or the performance by any other party of the same, or of any other, obligations.

5.8 Headings. The headings of sections and paragraphs in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and shall not be construed in any way to limit or define the content, scope, or intent of the provisions.

5.9 Grammar. As used in this Mortgage, the singular shall include the plural, and masculine, feminine, and neuter pronouns shall be fully interchangeable, where the context so requires.

5.10 Trust. If title to the Property or any part thereof is now or hereafter becomes vested in a trustee, any prohibition or restriction against the creation of any lien on the Property shall be construed as a similar prohibition or restriction against the creation of any lien on or security interest in the beneficial interest of such trust.

5.11 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage shall be binding upon Mortgagor, its successors, assigns, legal representatives, and all other persons or entities claiming under or through Mortgagor. “Mortgagor,” when used herein, shall include all such persons and entities and any others liable for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, or any part thereof, whether or not they have executed the Note or this Mortgage.

5.12 Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall be construed as constituting Lender as a mortgagee in possession in the absence of the actual taking of possession of the Property.

5.13 Business Loan Recital/Statutory Exemptions. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the proceeds of Loan 4 will be used in conformance with subparagraph (1)(1) of Section 4 of the Interest Act (815 ILCS 205/0.01 et seq.); (b) that the Obligations secured hereby constitute a business loan which comes within the purview of said Section 4; and (c) that Loan 4 is an exempted transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1601 et seq.

5.14 No Agricultural or Residential Real Estate. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part is a transaction which does not include either agricultural real estate (as defined in Section 5/15-1201 of the Act) or residential real estate (as defined in Section 5/15-1219 of the Act).

5.15 Illinois Collateral Protection Act. Unless Mortgagor provides the Lender with evidence of the insurance coverage required by Mortgagor’s agreement with the Lender, Lender may purchase insurance at Mortgagor’s expense to protect Lender’s interests in the collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect Mortgagor’s interests. The coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Mortgagor makes or any claim that is made against Mortgagor in connection with the collateral. Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing the Lender with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by their agreement. If the Lender purchases insurance for the collateral, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Lender may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to Mortgagor’s total outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain on Mortgagor’s own. In the event the Lender, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any insurance provided by Mortgagor does not comply with the insurance requirements set forth herein, then the Lender may, at any time and at its own discretion, procure and substitute for any and all of the policies of insurance deposited as aforesaid such other policy or policies of insurance, in such amount and carried with such company as it may determine, and the cost therefor shall be repaid to the Lender by Mortgagor upon demand. Mortgagor shall furnish to the Lender, upon request, estimates or appraisals of insurable value, without cost to the Lender, such as are regularly and ordinarily made by insurance companies to determine the then replacement cost of the building or buildings and improvements on the Real Estate. Mortgagor shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form, and contributing in the event of any loss, with any insurance required hereunder.

5.16 Incorporation of Loan Agreement. The terms of the Loan Agreement are incorporated by reference herein as though set forth in full detail. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control.

A. The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 2.75% in excess of the "LIBOR Rate", (the "Interest Rate"). The LIBOR Rate is the rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/8 of 1% and adjusted for reserves if Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to relevant advances) fixed by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor thereto, or replacement thereof, as approved by Lender, each an "Alternate LIBOR Source"), at approximately 11 :00 AM London time (or at the relevant time established by an Alternate LIBOR Source or by Lender), relating to quotations for the one month London InterBank Offered Rates on U.S. Dollar deposits as published on Bloomberg LP (or any successor thereto, or replacement thereof, as approved by Lender, each an "Approved Bloomberg Successor"), or, if no longer provided by Bloomberg LP, such rate as shall be determined in good faith by the Lender from such sources as it shall determine to be comparable to Bloomberg LP (or any Approved Bloomberg Successor) as determined by Lender at approximately 10:00 a.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on the relevant date of determination.

B. The Interest Rate shall initially be determined as of the date of this Note and shall be effective until the first (1st) business day of the month following the period after the date of this Note. The Interest Rate shall be adjusted automatically on the first (1st) business day of each one month period thereafter, commencing on the first (1st) business day of the month following the expiration of the initial Interest Rate determination under this Note.

C. Interest at the RATE set forth above, unless otherwise indicated, will be calculated on the basis of the 360 day per year method, which computes a daily amount of interest for a hypothetical year of 360 days, then multiplies such amount by the actual number of days elapsed in an interest calculation period.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, the Lender does not intend to charge and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to Borrowers or credited against principal, at the option of the Lender.

If any provision of this instrument shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.

B. Loan 2. Lender agrees, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made under this Agreement, to renew and increase the Original Loan 2 and continue to make Loan 2 available to Obligors and allow Obligors during the Advance Term to borrow, repay and re-borrow from Lender in an amount up to, but not exceeding, the Loan 2 Credit Ceiling.

6. Additional Representations, and Warranties of the Obligors. Obligors hereby make the following additional representations and warranties under Article IV, to the Lender:

Page 3

b. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents and specifically this Amendment and the documents associated with Loan 2 and Loan 5 and the borrowing hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof, will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Obligor.

d. Taxes.

(ii) Lender and Obligors believe that since Note 2 and Note 5 are not secured by Florida real estate, the documentary stamp tax due under Florida law in connection with Note 2 and Note 5 are limited to the amount of $2,450.00 each, pursuant to §201.08 (1) of the Florida Statutes (2015) (“Maximum Tax”). Obligors, jointly and severally, warrant that they will pay to the Lender, its successors and assigns, all sums of money, with interest at the rate equal to the Default Rate, which the Lender shall or may advance, pay or cause to be paid, or become liable to pay, on account of or in connection with the failure to pay any documentary stamp taxes on Note 2 or Note 5 in excess of the Maximum Tax (herein “Taxes”) and any interest and penalties associated with such Taxes. Obligors will make such payment to the Lender within ten (10) days of Lender's demand therefore, whether Lender shall have paid out such sum, or any part thereof or not. Upon receipt of such payment by the Lender, the Lender agrees to remit such payments to the appropriate Governmental Authority, if not previously paid. In any accounting which may be had between the Lender and Obligors, Lender shall be entitled to charge for any and all disbursements in and about the matters herein contemplated made by it in good faith, under the belief that it is or was liable for the Taxes so assessed. Obligors waive any defense to an action by Lender to enforce payment of Loan 2 and Loan 5 and collection of any Indebtedness based upon nonpayment of any documentary stamp tax on Note 2 and Note 5.

8. These covenants shall be deemed supplemental to the covenants contained within the Agreement unless they expressly conflict with such covenants in which event these provisions shall prevail.

10. In all other respects, Obligors and Lender hereby ratify and confirm the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed or caused theses presents to be executed this August 7, 2015.
