7. TRADE CREDIT AGREEMENT

In 2012, the Company entered into a Trade Credit Agreement with a California advertising agency to provide product from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Talbott Teas, Inc. (“Talbott”), in exchange for future advertising credits (“trade credits”). The trade credits will expire in November 2017. During fiscal 2013, the Company exchanged Talbott product for trade credits of $1.1 million. At December 31, 2013, trade credits of approximately $0.9 million are remaining and are included on the consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. These trade credits are charged to expense as they are used to purchase advertising services. The transaction was recorded at the fair value of the Talbott products provided to the advertising agency on the date of the transaction. During fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, the Company did not have trade credit agreements in place.
