Forward-Looking Statements



This Annual Report
on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations
and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,”
“believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,”
“estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause
actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but
are not limited to those described under the section “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Report. Additional risk factors
may be described from time to time in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We undertake
no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments
or otherwise, except as required by law.



These forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We believe these
factors include but are not limited to those described under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" such as:



| | · | A reduction in the supply of grapes and bulk wine available to us from the independent grape growers
and bulk wine suppliers could reduce our annual production of wine.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | We face significant competition which could adversely affect our profitability.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Because a significant amount of our business is made through our direct to retailer partners, any
change in our relationships with them could harm our business.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | The loss of Mr. Hurst, Mr. Forgue, Ms. Lambrix, Mr. Shaw or other key employees would damage our
reputation and business.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | A reduction in our access to/or an increase in the cost of the third-party services we use to produce
our wine could harm our business.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | The terms of our bank loans with Bank of the West may restrict our current and future operations,
which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and to manage our operations.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Because our founders have retained significant control over Truett-Hurst, current shareholders
and new investors will not have as much influence on corporate decisions as they would if control were less concentrated.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | We have certain transactions with related parties, including our founders and principal stockholders.
These transactions may present conflicts of interest.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | We depend upon our trademarks and proprietary rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual
property rights or any claims that we are infringing upon the rights of others may adversely affect our competitive position and
brand equity.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Our founders have significant influence on Truett-Hurst and their interest may differ from those
of our public shareholders.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | We face inventory risk, and if we fail to predict accurately demand for our products, we may face
write-downs or other charges.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These factors should
not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this
report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise.

H.D.D. LLC. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this report to “Truett-Hurst,” the “Company,”

Annual Report on Form 10-K references certain trademarks and registered trademarks which may be trademarks or registered trademarks

General



We produce and sell
premium, super-premium, ultra-premium and luxury wines and other select beverage alcohol products made from wine. The wine we make
generally comes from grapes purchased from California-based growers. In addition, we purchase semi-finished bulk wine under contract
and opportunistically on the spot-market. On a more limited basis, we also purchase finished goods from both foreign and domestic
producers. We are headquartered in Sonoma County, California with tasting rooms in the Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. Our
wines include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon and are sold across
a number of price points via three distinct distribution channels: three-tier, direct to consumer and internet. Our business model
is a combination of direct to consumer sales, traditional three-tier brand sales and retail exclusive brand sales. We own, design
and develop our brands, including those developed and sold on a retailer exclusive basis. Our brands are differentiated and marketed
through innovative packaging and label designs.



Wine sales in the three-tier
channel are sold to distributors with programs available to the broad market or to specific retailers on an exclusive basis. Our
traditional three-tier distribution business consists of sales of Truett-Hurst, VML, Healdsburg Ranches, Colby Red and Bradford
Mountain branded wines. Through our retailer exclusive brand model we work with our retail partners to develop innovative brands
which resonate with their customers and are intended to increase store traffic and expand exclusive brand sales. Our retail exclusive
model allows us to own the brands we create, which we believe differentiates us from the traditional private label model, and allows
us the option of expanding the brands into national and international markets, thereby increasing sales and building our brand
equity.  Our direct to consumer channel consists of sales through our tasting rooms, wine clubs and via the internet.



Strategic Objectives



There are four primary
categories into which we sell our wine: premium ($12 - $14 per bottle retail price), super-premium ($15 - $24 per bottle retail
price), ultra-premium ($25 - $49 per bottle retail price) and luxury ($50+ per bottle retail price). We believe we can benefit
from growth at the premium and above price points and continue to grow our business relying on our competitive strengths: our experienced
and knowledgeable team; our relationships with the world’s top wine distributors and retailers; and our innovative approach
to distribution and brand development. We intend to continue growing by:



| | · | Developing innovative products that meet the needs of wine retailers. We have a reputation
for developing innovative retail exclusive brands and working with our retailer partners on unique programs to support sales of
those products. With our branding expertise we intend to continue innovation and build our market share with global wine retailers
who are focused on increasing their profitability through retail exclusive offerings.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Growing our customer base to include additional major U.S. retail chains.We are actively
pursuing relationships with the largest retail chains in the United States and have further diversified our customer base, thereby
reducing customer concentration risk.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4







| | · | Expanding our direct to consumer business. Our wine clubs continue to grow due to growing
consumer awareness of our brands from targeted public relations, exciting wine club events and advertising. The direct to consumer
business generally generates higher gross margins and we intend to continue building this distribution channel in order to further
our growth.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Marketing to key international markets. During FY14, we completed an agreement with the
Trialto Wine Group, LTD, based in Vancouver Canada, creating a national partnership to distribute the Truett-Hurst family of brands
throughout Canada. Despite challenges related to currency exchange rates, during FY15, we have worked with our Canadian distributor
to ensure our brands are listed with all regional Liquor Control Boards. We also continue selective brand development and distribution
opportunities in other international markets.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Developing new ways to engage customers and to distribute our products.We continue to be
discovery-oriented in our approach and we are always looking for new innovations in and approaches to the global wine market. We
believe that traditional wine marketing, to some degree, has stymied creativity and believe our innovative branding expertise allows
us to rapidly capitalize on evolving customer demands.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Recent Developments



In March 2015, in order to support the launch
of our CA Winecraft brand with The Kroger Company, we produced almost 48,000 cases of product. We have estimated that the product
maintains its highest quality for 10 months after its production date and as such this initial production has a “best by”
date of January 2016. The initial production quantities were expected to be fully depleted based on commitments by Kroger to promote
the product through in-store displays and its “Summer Rack Program.” CA Winecraft product started shipping to distributors
in April 2015 and through May 2015 approximately 33,000 cases of product had shipped. In June 2015 to allow for distributor back
stock and to support anticipated replenishment orders, we produced an additional 32,000 cases of product. The “best by”
date for the second production is April 2016.



The number of stores that participated in
the “Summer Rack Program” and/or stocked shelves with CA Winecraft product fell short of Kroger’s initial guidance
and our expectations. Based on reports from Kroger, through early September, approximately 5,000 cases of product has been purchased
by consumers. We are working with Kroger to increase both the number of stores selling the product and the retail rate of sale;
however, we are unable to predict the impact of these efforts. In late August 2015, Kroger agreed to forgo exclusivity on the product,
and since then we have been working with our distributors and other potential customers to increase points of distribution for
the product outside the Kroger store network. There is no assurance that these sales efforts will lead to incremental orders. The
lower number of distribution points combined with slower than anticipated retail rate of sale has left inventory levels higher
than planned. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately 45,000 cases at a cost of $0.7 million of product in our inventory and
through September 13, 2015 our inventory levels remain materially unchanged.



As discussed in Note
3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have reduced the carrying value of our
remaining CA Winecraft inventory. The current carrying value of this inventory is $0.2 million.

Our Wineries



Established in 2007,
Truett-Hurst was our first winery operation and brand. The Truett-Hurst winery is located in the Dry Creek Valley appellation of
Sonoma County and focuses on producing super-premium wine from a range of varietals, including Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah and other unique red blends.



Established in 2011,
VML was our second winery operation and brand. The VML winery, which is leased, is located in the Russian River Valley appellation
of Sonoma County and focuses on producing super-premium and ultra-premium wines from grapes purchased from local growers. The primary
varietals include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurztraminer.

Wine Supply and Production



Wine Production



We operate two wineries
where wine is produced from many varieties of grapes principally grown or purchased in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley
and Dry Creek Valley appellations. Our VML winery, which is a leased facility, can crush, ferment and oak barrel age approximately
500 tons (35,000 cases) of ultra-premium grapes annually, with capacity to increase to 2,000 tons with additional capital improvements.
For increased production capacity, we outsource to a variety of specialist wineries and bottling facilities. We have been able
to satisfy our production requirements to date and consider our sources to be adequate at this time. However, the inability of
any of our suppliers to satisfy our requirements could adversely affect our operations.



Grape and Wine Contracts



The majority of our
annual grape requirements are satisfied by purchases from each year’s harvest which normally begins in August and runs through
October. In addition to purchasing grapes, we supplement our needs with bulk wine purchase contracts based on our sales and production
requirements. Depending upon overall demand and availability of bulk wine, we could experience shortages and/or increased prices.



We enter into grape
contracts with terms generally of one to four years, which require us to pay an agreed upon price per ton that varies according
to the type of grape, its appellation and in certain cases, the vineyard block in which the grapes are grown.  Contracts
are typically terminable after a specified term, unless earlier mutually agreed by the parties.



Vineyards Owned
by our Founders



Certain of our founders
and principal stockholders own, operate or farm vineyards. The grapes produced from these vineyards are sold to us at market prices,
with the balances sold to other wineries. See Part II, Item 8, Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details regarding related party commitments.



Sources and Availability of Production
Materials



We utilize glass and
other materials such as corks, capsules, labels and cardboard cartons in the bottling and packaging of our products. After grape
purchases and associated production overhead, glass bottle costs are the next most significant component of our cost of sales.
The glass bottle industry is highly concentrated with only a small number of quality producers. We obtain our glass requirements
from a limited number of producers under supply arrangements. We have been able to satisfy our production requirements with respect
to the foregoing and consider our sources of supply to be adequate at this time. However, the inability of any of our glass bottle
suppliers to satisfy our requirements could adversely affect our operations.



Seasonality



There is seasonality
in the growing, procurement and transportation of grapes.  The wine industry typically experiences increased sales in
October, November and December. Sales are typically higher upon the launch of a new product into the marketplace and when retailers
promote brands through in-store displays and advertisements. We expect these trends to continue.



Our Team and Culture



Our team consists of
seasoned professionals who have worked their way up through the industry often achieving senior level positions in noted wine companies
such as Diagio, Constellation Brands, Inc., the Brown-Forman Corporation and Fetzer Vineyards.



In addition to building
a seasoned team of professionals and shaping our entrepreneurial culture, an important part of our strategy is to create partnerships
with the best organizations and professionals in order to leverage our core competencies in the most efficient, cost effective
and profitable manner.  We are proud of the corporate partnerships we have created throughout our sales channels and
our team believes we can build a business that can change the way consumers purchase and enjoy wine.



7







Sales and Marketing



We employ a relatively
small full-time, in-house marketing, sales and customer service organization. Our sales and marketing team uses a range of marketing
strategies designed to build brand equity and increase sales. Strategies include, but are not limited to, market research, consumer
and trade advertising, price promotions, point-of-sale materials, event sponsorship, on-premise promotions, social media and public
relations.



Competitive Environment



The super-premium,
ultra-premium and luxury market segments of the wine industry are highly competitive. We compete on the basis of quality, price,
brand recognition and distribution strength against domestic and multinational producers and distributors, some of which have greater
resources than us, for consumer purchases, as well as shelf space in retail stores, restaurant presence and wholesaler attention.
Further, our wines compete with other alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.



In the retail exclusive
label market, we believe our chief competitors are Constellation Brands, Inc., E.&J. Gallo Winery, Bronco Wines, Winery Exchange
Inc., Vintage Wine Estates, Delicato Family Vineyards, and other California and international wine producers.



There are relatively
few publicly traded beverage companies with significant wine operations. Two of the largest, Constellation Brands, Inc. –
owner of brands such as Robert Mondavi, Clos du Bois and Kim Crawford – and Diageo plc – which owns Rosenblum, Chalone,
Sterling and others – also have beer and spirits divisions.



Demand for wine in
the premium, super-premium, ultra-premium and luxury market segments can rise and fall with general economic conditions.  Based
on industry statistics, wine consumption in all of these categories has increased. Our ability to respond to market demand, deliver
a variety of wine styles, create and design innovative packaging combined with an effective distribution system will allow us to
continue to penetrate the mainstream wine markets.



Intellectual Property



We protect our proprietary
rights through a variety of means and measures, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, contractual restrictions
and technical measures. We sell a number of our brands under our registered trademarks. International trademark registrations are
also maintained where it is appropriate to do so.  Each of the U.S. trademark registrations are renewable indefinitely
so long as we are making a bona fide usage of the trademark.  As of September 1, 2015, we had 35 registered material
trademarks, 17 published and 4 pending.



Regulatory Environment



The wine industry is
part of the highly regulated U.S. liquor industry.  While there have been significant relaxations over time, such as
those arising following the Granholm v. Heald U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2005, the U.S. wine industry is still highly regulated.
For example, we are able to ship wine directly now to consumers and businesses in 42 states, but must still work through traditional
“three-tier” distributors in the remaining 8 states.



The production and
sale of wine is subject to extensive regulation by the United States Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau and the California Liquor Control Commission.  We are licensed by and meet the bonding requirements of each of
these governmental agencies.  Sale of our wines is subject to federal alcohol tax, payable at the time wine is removed
from the bonded area of the winery for shipment to customers or for sale in our tasting rooms.  The current federal alcohol
tax rate is $1.07 per gallon for wines with alcohol content at or below 14.0% and $1.57 per gallon for wines with alcohol content
above 14.0% but less than 21%; however, wineries that produce not more than 250,000 gallons during the calendar year are allowed
a graduated tax credit of up to $0.90 per gallon on the first 100,000 gallons of wine (other than sparkling wines) removed from
the bonded area during that year.



We also pay the state
of California an excise tax of $0.20 per gallon for all wine sold in California.  In addition, all states in which our
wines are sold impose varying excise taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages.  Payments of these taxes are the responsibility
of the supplier or distributor depending upon the channel in which the wine is sold.



Internet and consumer
direct sales are also subject to state regulation which governs the quantity and manner in which products can be shipped, delivered
and excise taxes collected.



As an agricultural
processor, we are also regulated by Sonoma County and, as a producer of wastewater, by the state of California.  We maintain
all necessary permits to operate our business.



8







Prompted by growing
government budget shortfalls and public reaction against alcohol abuse, Congress and many state legislatures are considering various
proposals to impose additional excise taxes on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages, including table wines.  Some
of the excise tax rate increases being considered are substantial.  The ultimate effects of such legislation, if passed,
cannot be assessed accurately since the proposals are still in the discussion stage.  Any increase in the taxes imposed
on table wines can be expected to have a potentially adverse impact on overall sales of such products.  However, the
impact may not be proportionate to that experienced by producers of other alcoholic beverages and may not be the same in every
state.



Management is strongly
focused on environmental stewardship and maintains a variety of policies and processes designed to protect the environment, the
public and the consumers of its wine.  Many of our expenses for protecting the environment are voluntary, however we
are regulated by various local, state and federal agencies regarding environmental laws where the costs of these laws and requirements
of these agencies are effectively integrated into our regular operations and do not cause significant negative impacts or costs.



We believe we are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate.
We also believe that the cost of administration and compliance with, and liability under, such laws and regulations have not had
a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.



Employees



As
of June 30, 2015, we had a full time equivalent of 40 employees. We hire part time and seasonal help as needed. All employees were
in the United States. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly
skilled technical, managerial, and sales and marketing personnel. None of the employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.
We believe relations with our employees are good.

Emerging Growth Company Status



We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2012 (“JOBS Act”).  For
as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but
not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions
from the requirements of holding stockholder advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and stockholder
advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.



Under the JOBS Act,
we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of:



| | · | the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



9







| | · | the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act (we will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates and (ii) been public for at least 12 months; the value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter).
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The JOBS Act also provides
that an “emerging growth company” can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
However, we chose to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised
accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging
growth companies.”



Smaller Reporting Company



We became subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the
SEC, as a “smaller reporting company,” on the effective date of our Registration Statement. The designation of being
a “smaller reporting company” relieves us of some of the more detailed informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors



Risks Related to Our Business



A reduction in the supply of grapes
and bulk wine available to us from the independent grape growers and bulk wine suppliers could reduce our annual production of
wine.



We rely on annual contracts
with independent growers to purchase substantially all of the grapes used in our wine production.  Our business would
be harmed if we are unable to contract for the purchase of grapes at acceptable prices from these or other suppliers in the future.
The terms of many of our purchase agreements also constrain our ability to discontinue purchasing grapes in circumstances where
we might want to do so.



Some of these agreements
provide that either party may terminate the agreement prior to the beginning of each harvest year.



We depend on a single
bulk wine supplier for the production of several of our wines, particularly our direct to retailer designated labels. Our contract
with this supplier ends after the 2015 harvest. Extension of this contract is not guaranteed and thus we may have exposure to the
availability and pricing of bulk wine for our production needs which could increase the cost or reduce the amount of wine we are
able to produce for sale. This could reduce our sales and profits.



We face inventory risk, and if we fail to predict accurately
demand for our products, we may face write-downs or other charges.



We are exposed to inventory risks that may adversely affect
our operating results as a result of new product launches, changes in product cycles and pricing, limited shelf-life of certain
of our products, changes in consumer demand, and other factors. We endeavor to predict accurately, based on information from our
distributors and our own reasonable assumptions, the expected demand for our products in order to avoid overproduction. Demand
for products, however, can change significantly between the time of production and the date of sale.  It may be more difficult
to make accurate predictions regarding new products.  In part, we depend on the marketing initiatives and efforts of our distributors
in promoting our products and creating consumer demand and we have limited or no control regarding their promotional initiatives
or the success of their efforts.  Also, to the extent that our products, such as our Winecraft products, have a limited shelf
life, our failure to predict accurately consumer demand may lead to write-offs or impairment charges that will have a negative
effect on our results of operations.  These write-offs or impairment or other charges may be assessed quarterly and may cause
our period to period results to fluctuate.



We have a history of losses, and
we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.



We have had a limited
number of quarters or years of profitability and historically raised additional capital to meet our growth needs.  We expect
to make significant future investments in order to develop and expand our business, which, we believe, will result in additional
sales, marketing and general and administrative expenses that will require increased sales to recover these additional costs. 
As a public company we expect to continue to incur legal, accounting, and other administrative expenses that are material. While
our revenue has grown in recent periods, this growth may not be sustainable or sufficient to cover the costs required to successfully
compete.



We may not generate
sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including slowing
demand for our products and increasing competition, as well as the other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and
we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown factors in the expansion of our
business. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and, we may incur significant losses in the future,
and this could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline further.



We face significant competition which
could adversely affect our profitability.



The wine industry is
intensely competitive. Our wines compete in several super-premium and ultra-premium wine market segments with many other super-premium
and ultra-premium domestic and foreign wines, with imported wines coming from the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions of France, as well
as Italy, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and Australia. Our wines also compete with other alcoholic and, to a lesser degree, non-alcoholic
beverages, for shelf space in retail stores and for marketing focus by our independent distributors, many of which carry extensive
brand portfolios. A result of this intense competition there has been and may continue to be upward pressure on our selling and
promotional expenses. In addition, the wine industry has experienced significant consolidation. Many of our competitors have greater
financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than we do. Our sales may be harmed to the extent we are not able
to compete successfully against such wine or alternative beverage producers’ costs. There can be no assurance that in the
future we will be able to successfully compete with our current competitors or that we will not face greater competition from other
wineries and beverage manufacturers.



11







Because a significant amount of our
business is made through our retail exclusive model any change in our relationship with our retail partnerscould harm our business.



Our agreements with
our direct retail partners are informal and therefore subject to change.  If one or more of our direct retail partners
chose to purchase fewer of our products, or we were forced to reduce the prices at which we sell our products to these partners,
our sales and profits would be reduced and our business would be harmed.



The loss of Mr. Hurst, Mr. Forgue,
Ms. Lambrix, Mr. Shaw or other key employees or personnel would damage our reputation and business.



We believe that our
success largely depends on the continued employment of a number of our key employees, including Phil Hurst, our Chief Executive
Officer, Paul Forgue, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer, Virginia Lambrix, our Winemaker, and Kevin
Shaw, an independent contractor who serves as our Creative Director.  Any inability or unwillingness of Mr. Hurst, Mr.
Forgue, Ms. Lambrix, Mr. Shaw or other key management team members to continue in their present capacities could harm our
business and our reputation.



A reduction in our access to/or an
increase in the cost of, the third-party services we use to produce our wine could harm our business.



We utilize capacity
at several third-party facilities for the production of a significant portion of our wines.  Our inability to use these
or alternative facilities, at reasonable prices or at all, could increase the cost or reduce the amount of our production, which
could reduce our sales and our profits.  We do not have long-term agreements with any of these facilities, and they may
provide services to our competitors at a price above what we are willing to pay. The activities conducted at outside facilities
include crushing, fermentation, storage, blending, canning and bottling.  Our reliance on these third parties varies
according to the type of production activity.  As production increases, we must increasingly rely upon these third-party
production facilities.  Reliance on third parties will also vary with annual harvest volumes.



In addition, we have
limited direct impact over the quality control and quality assurance of these third-party manufacturers.  If our
suppliers are not able to deliver products that satisfy our requirements, we may be forced to seek alternative providers, which
may not be available at the same price, or at all. Moving production to a new third party service provider could negatively impact
our financial results.



The terms of our bank loans with
Bank of the West may restrict our current and future operations, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes
in our business and to manage our operations.



Our bank loans include
a number of customary restrictive covenants that could impair our financing and operational flexibility and make it difficult for
us to react to market conditions and satisfy our ongoing capital needs and unanticipated cash requirements. The bank loans contain
usual and customary covenants, including, without limitation:



| | · | limitation on incurring senior indebtedness
| | - | -------------------------------------------

| | · | limitation on making loans and advances;
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| | · | limitation on investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | limitation on liens, mergers and sales of assets; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------

| | · | limitation on activities of Truett-Hurst.
| | - | -----------------------------------------



In addition, the bank
loans contain negative and financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current assets to current liabilities
ratio (measured quarterly), debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly),   debt service coverage ratio
(measured annually) and minimum EBITDA (measured at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016).



Our ability to comply
with the covenants and other terms of our bank loans will depend on our future operating performance and, in addition, may be affected
by events beyond our control, and we may not meet them. If we fail to comply with such covenants and terms, we would be required
to obtain waivers from our lenders or agree with our lenders to an amendment of the facility's terms to maintain compliance under
such facility. If we are unable to obtain any necessary waivers and the debt is accelerated, it would have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and future operating performance, and we may be required to limit our activities.



12







Because our founders retain significant
control over Truett-Hurst, current shareholders and new investors will not have as much influence on corporate decisions as they
would if control were less concentrated.



As of June 30, 2015,
our founders and affiliates control 48% of the combined voting power through their ownership of our outstanding Class A common
stock and/or Class B common stock. Prior to conversion of their LLC Units, each holder of LLC Units holds a single share of our
Class B common stock. Although these shares have no economic rights, they allow our existing owners to exercise voting power over
Truett-Hurst, Inc., the managing member of the LLC, at a level that is consistent with their overall equity ownership of our business.
As a result, our founders and their affiliates have significant influence in the election of directors and the approval of corporate
actions that must be submitted for a vote of stockholders.



In addition, certain
of our founders, as well as certain trusts and other entities under their control, have entered into guarantee agreements in connection
with our bank loans with Bank of the West. For additional information related to our bank guarantees, see Part II, Item 8, Note
8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.



The interests of these
affiliates may conflict with the interests of other stockholders, and the actions they take or approve may be contrary to those
desired by the other stockholders.  This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing
or deterring an acquisition of Truett-Hurst by a third party.



We have certain transactions with
related parties, including our founders, which may present a conflict of interest.



We routinely source
grapes for our products from vineyards owned by our founders and principal stockholders.  The interests of these affiliates
in such transactions may be contrary to those desired by stockholders.   We have policies in place designed to mitigate
the risk associated with such transactions; however, stockholders may be harmed by self-dealing with affiliates and our loss of
corporate opportunity.



In addition, from time
to time we enter into transactions for goods and services with entities in which our executive officers, directors and/or affiliates
have interests, as further described under Part II, Item 8, Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies - Related Party,”
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



We also enter into
grape and bulk wine purchase agreements from time to time with entities in which our founders have financial interests.  During
FY14 and FY15, we have entered into such arrangements with:



| | · | Ghianda Rose Vineyard, which is owned by Diana Fetzer, wife of Paul E. Dolan, III a member of our
board of directors.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Gobbi Street Vineyards, which is partly owned by Diana Fetzer, and Paul E. Dolan, III’s daughter,
Nya Kusakabe.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Dark Horse Farming Company, which is owned Paul E. Dolan III (50%),
Heath E. Dolan (25%) and Jason Dolan (25%). Paul E. Dolan III and Heath E. Dolan are directors of the LLC and Truett-Hurst, Inc.
Jason Dolan is the brother of Heath E. Dolan.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We believe these arrangements
reflect substantially the same market terms we would receive in transactions with unaffiliated third parties. However, if we fail
to receive market terms for these transactions or other similar transactions in the future, our expenses could increase.



A failure of one or more of our key
information technology systems, networks, processes, associated sites or service providers could have a material adverse impact
on our business.



We rely on information
technology (“IT”) systems, networks, and services, including internet sites, data hosting and processing facilities
and tools, hardware (including laptops and mobile devices), software and technical applications and platforms, some of which are
managed, hosted, provided and/or used by third-parties or their vendors, to assist us in the management of our business. The various
uses of these IT systems, networks, and services include, but are not limited to: hosting our internal network and communication
systems; ordering and managing materials from suppliers; supply/demand planning; production; shipping product to customers; hosting
our branded websites and marketing products to consumers; collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, investor, and other
data; processing transactions; summarizing and reporting results of operations; hosting, processing, and sharing confidential and
proprietary research, business plans, and financial information; complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements; providing
data security; and handling other processes necessary to manage our business.



13







Increased IT security
threats and more sophisticated cyber-crime pose a potential risk to the security of our IT systems, networks, and services, as
well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data. If the IT systems, networks, or service providers we rely
upon fail to function properly, or if we suffer a loss or disclosure of business or other sensitive information, due to any number
of causes, ranging from catastrophic events to power outages to security breaches, and our business continuity plans do not effectively
address these failures on a timely basis, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations and reputational, competitive
and/or business harm, which may adversely affect our business operations and/or financial condition. In addition, such events could
result in unauthorized disclosure of material confidential information, and we may suffer financial and reputational damage because
of lost or misappropriated confidential information belonging to us or to our partners, our employees, customers, suppliers or
consumers. In any of these events, we could also be required to spend significant financial and other resources to remedy the damage
caused by a security breach or to repair or replace networks and IT systems.



If we are unable to maintain an effective
internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy, and timeliness of our financial reporting may be adversely
affected.



Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”
or “GAAP”).



We are an “emerging
growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and as such we may elect to avail
ourselves of the certain exemptions from various reporting requirements of public companies that are not “emerging growth
companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, which we refer to as the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act.”



We depend upon our trademarks and
proprietary rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or any claims that we are infringing upon the rights
of others may adversely affect our competitive position and brand equity.



Our future success
depends significantly on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property
rights. We have staked out a reputation for innovation and we have introduced new product innovations, including, for example,
our evocative “wine wraps,” the world’s first paper bottle and our proprietary square bottle. We have been granted
numerous trademark registrations covering our brands and products and have filed, and expect to continue to file, trademark applications
seeking to protect newly-developed brands and products. We cannot be sure that trademark registrations will be issued with respect
to any of our trademark applications. There is also a risk that we could, by omission, fail to timely renew or protect a trademark
or that our competitors will challenge, invalidate or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us.



A reduction in consumer demand for
wines could harm our business.



There have been periods
in the past in which there were substantial declines in the overall per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages in the United
States and other markets in which we participate. A limited or general decline in consumption in one or more of our product categories
could occur in the future due to a variety of factors, including a general decline in economic conditions, increased concern about
the health consequences of consuming beverage alcohol products and about drinking and driving, a trend toward a healthier diet
including lighter, lower calorie beverages such as diet soft drinks, juices and water products, the increased activity of anti-alcohol
consumer groups and increased federal, state or foreign excise and other taxes on alcoholic beverage products. The competitive
position of our products could also be affected adversely by any failure to achieve consistent, reliable quality in the product
or service levels to customers.



Changes in consumer spending could
have a negative impact on our financial condition and business results.



Wine sales depend upon
a number of factors related to the level of consumer spending, including the general state of the economy, federal and state income
tax rates, deductibility of business entertainment expenses under federal and state tax laws, and consumer confidence in future
economic conditions.  Changes in consumer spending in these and other areas can affect both the quantity and the price of
wines that customers are willing to purchase at restaurants or through retail outlets. Reduced consumer confidence and spending
may result in reduced demand for our products, limitations on our ability to increase prices and increased levels of selling and
promotional expenses. This, in turn, may have a considerable negative impact upon our sales and profit margins.



14







The market price of our stock may
fluctuate due to seasonal fluctuations in our wine sales, operating expenses and net income.



We experience seasonal
and quarterly fluctuations in sales, operating expenses and net income.  Generally, the second and third quarters of our fiscal
year have lower sales volumes than the first and fourth quarters.  We have managed, and will continue to manage, our
business to achieve our long-term objectives.  In doing so, we may make decisions that we believe will enhance our long-term
profitability, even if these decisions may reduce quarterly earnings.  These decisions include the timing of the release
of our wines for sale, our wines’ competitive positioning and the grape and bulk wine sources we use to produce our wines.



Bad weather, drought, plant diseases
and other factors could reduce the amount or quality of the grapes available to produce our wines.



A shortage in the supply
of quality grapes may result from the occurrence of any number of factors which determine the quality and quantity of grape supply,
such as weather conditions and natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes, pruning methods, the existence
of diseases and pests, and the number of vines producing grapes, as well as the level of consumer demand for wine.  Any
shortage could cause an increase in the price of some or all of the grape varieties required for our wine production and/or a reduction
in the amount of wine we are able to produce, which could harm our business and reduce our sales and profits.



Recent examples of
events affecting supply include the frost in 2008 that significantly impacted the amount of grapes harvested in Mendocino County,
the frost of 2011 that had a significant impact on the crop size in Paso Robles and the widespread drought which impacted parts
of the United States from 2011 to 2014. Currently 100% of the state of California is now classified as being in one of the three
worst levels of drought which range from abnormally dry, moderate drought, severe drought, extreme drought and exceptional drought.



Factors that reduce
the quantity of grapes may also reduce their quality, which in turn could reduce the quality or amount of wine we produce.  Deterioration
in the quality of our wines could harm our brand name and a decrease in our production could reduce our sales and increase our
expenses.



Adverse public opinion about alcohol may harm our business.



While a number of research
studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may provide various health benefits, other studies conclude or suggest that alcohol
consumption has no health benefits and may increase the risk of stroke, cancer and other illnesses.  An unfavorable report
on the health effects of alcohol consumption could significantly reduce the demand for wine, which could harm our business and
reduce our sales and increase our expenses.



In recent years, activist
groups have used advertising and other methods to inform the public about the societal harms associated with the consumption of
alcoholic beverages.  These groups have also sought, and continue to seek, legislation to reduce the availability of
alcoholic beverages, to increase the penalties associated with the misuse of alcoholic beverages, or to increase the costs associated
with the production of alcoholic beverages.  Over time, these efforts could cause a reduction in the consumption of alcoholic
beverages generally, which could harm our business and reduce our sales and increase our expenses.



Contamination of our wines would harm our business.



Because our products
are designed for human consumption, our business is subject to hazards and liabilities related to food products, such as contamination.  A
discovery of contamination in any of our wines, through tampering or otherwise, could result in a recall of our products.  Any
recall would significantly damage our reputation for product quality, which we believe is one of our principal competitive assets,
and could seriously harm our business and sales.  Although we maintain insurance to protect against these risks, we may not
be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms, and this insurance may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.



15







A decrease in wine score ratings by important rating organizations
could have a negative impact on our ability to create greater demand and pricing.



Many of our brands
are issued ratings or scores by local and national wine rating organizations, and higher scores usually translate into greater
demand and higher pricing.  Although some of our brands have been highly rated in the past, and we believe our farming
and winemaking activities are of a quality to generate good ratings in the future, we have no control over ratings issued by third
parties which may not be favorable in the future.



Increased regulatory costs or taxes would harm our financial
performance.



The wine industry is
regulated extensively by the Federal Tax and Trade Bureau and state and local liquor authorities and State of California environmental
agencies. These regulations and laws dictate various matters, including:



| | · | Excise taxes;                                     
| | - | --------------------------------------------------
| | · | Licensing requirements;                           
| | · | Trade and pricing practices;                      
| | · | Permitted distribution channels;                  
| | · | Permitted and required labeling;                  
| | · | Advertising;                                      
| | · | Relationships with distributors and retailers; and
| | · | Air quality, storm water and irrigation use.      



Recent and future zoning
ordinances, environmental restrictions and other legal requirements may limit our plans to expand production capacity, as well
as any future development of new vineyards and wineries.  In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that could
significantly increase excise taxes on wine.  Other federal legislation has been proposed which would prevent us from
selling wine directly through the mail.  This proposed legislation, or other new regulations, requirements or taxes,
could harm our business and operating results.  Future legal or regulatory challenges to the wine industry could also
harm our business and impact our operating results.



Prompted by growing
government budget shortfalls and public reaction against alcohol abuse, Congress and many state legislatures are considering various
proposals to impose additional excise taxes on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages, including table wines.  Some
of the excise tax rates being considered are substantial.  The ultimate effects of such legislation, if passed, cannot
be assessed accurately since the proposals are still in the discussion stage.  Any increase in the taxes imposed on table
wines can be expected to have a potentially adverse impact on overall sales of such products.  However, the impact may
not be proportionate to that experienced by producers of other alcoholic beverages and may not be the same in every state.



An increase in the cost of energy
or the cost of environmental regulatory compliance could affect our profitability.



We have experienced
increases in energy costs, and energy costs could continue to rise, which would result in higher transportation, freight and other
operating costs. We may experience significant future increases in the costs associated with environmental regulatory compliance,
including fees, licenses and the cost of capital improvements to our operating facilities in order to meet environmental regulatory
requirements. Our future operating expenses and margins will be dependent on our ability to manage the impact of cost increases.
We cannot guarantee that we will beable to pass along increased energy costs or increased costs associated with environmental
regulatory compliance to our customers through increased prices.



In addition, we may
be party to various environmental remediation obligations arising in the normal course of our business or in connection with historical
activities of businesses we acquire. Due to regulatory complexities, uncertainties inherent in litigation and the risk of unidentifiedcontaminants
at our current and former properties, the potential exists for remediation, liability and indemnification costs to differ materially
from thecosts that we have estimated. We cannot assure you that our costs in relation to these matters will not exceed
our projections or otherwise have an adverse effect upon our business reputation, financial condition or results of operations.



Climate change, or legal, regulatory
or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect our business, operations or financial performance, and water
scarcity or poor water quality could negatively impact our production costs and capacity.



Our business depends
upon agricultural activity and natural resources. There has been much public discussion related to concerns that carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency
and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. Severe weather events and climate change may negatively affect agricultural
productivity in the regions from which we presently source our agricultural raw materials such as grapes. Decreased availability
of our raw materials may increase the cost of goods for our products. Severe weather events or changes in the frequency or intensity
of weather events can also disrupt our supply chain, which may affect production operations, insurance cost and coverage, as well
as delivery of our products to wholesalers, retailers and consumers.



16







Water is essential
in the production of our products. The quality and quantity of water available for use is important to the supply of grapes and
our ability to operate our business. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world and if climate patterns change and
droughts become more severe, there may be a scarcity of water or poor water quality that may affect our production costs or impose
capacity constraints. With California facing one of the most severe droughts on record, Governor Brown declared a drought State
of Emergency in January and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for water shortages. Such events
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.



Natural disasters, including earthquakes
or fires, could destroy our facilities or our inventory.



We must store our wine
in a limited number of locations for a period of time prior to its sale or distribution. Any intervening catastrophes, such as
an earthquake or fire, that result in the destruction of all or a portion of our wine would result in a loss of our investment
in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, that wine. Such a loss would seriously harm our business and reduce our sales
and profits.



Risks Related to Our Organizational
Structure



Truett-Hurst, Inc.’s only
material asset is its interest in the LLC, and it is accordingly dependent upon distributions from the LLC to pay taxes, make payments
under the tax receivable agreement or pay dividends.



We are a holding company
and have no material assets other than our controlling member equity interest in the LLC. We have no independent means of
generating revenue. We will cause the LLC to make distributions to its unit holders in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable
taxes at assumed tax rates, payments under the tax receivable agreement and dividends, if any, declared by us. To the extent that
we need funds, and the LLC is restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of
its financing arrangements, or is otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and
financial condition.



We entered into a tax
receivable agreement with our pre-IPO owners that provides for the payment by Truett-Hurst, Inc. to these parties of 90% of the
benefits, if any, that Truett-Hurst, Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of the increases in tax basis resulting from our purchases
or exchanges of LLC Units and certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax
benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.



We expect that the
payments that we may make under the tax receivable agreement will be substantial. There may be a material negative effect on our
liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the tax receivable agreement exceed the actual
benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the tax receivable agreement and/or distributions to Truett-Hurst,
Inc. by H.D.D. LLC are not sufficient to permit Truett-Hurst, Inc. to make payments under the tax receivable agreement after it
has paid taxes. The payments under the tax receivable agreement are not conditioned upon the continued ownership of us by the counterparties
to the tax receivable agreement.



Our founders have significant influence
on Truett-Hurst and their interests may differ from those of our public stockholders.



As of June 30, 2015,
our founders and affiliates control 48% of the combined voting power through their ownership of our outstanding Class A common
stock and/or Class B common stock. Because the our founders and affiliates hold a majority of their ownership interest in our business
through the LLC, rather than through the public company, the founders and affiliates may have conflicting interests with holders
of shares of our Class A common stock. For example, our founders and affiliates may have different tax positions from us which
could influence their decisions regarding whether and when to dispose of assets, whether and when to incur new or refinance existing
indebtedness, especially in light of the existence of the tax receivable agreement that we entered in to, and whether and when
we should terminate the tax receivable agreement and accelerate the obligations thereunder. In addition, the structuring of future
transactions may take into consideration the founders’ and affiliates’ tax or other considerations even where no similar
benefit would accrue to us.



17







We will be required to pay the counterparties
to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with current exchanges, future purchases
or exchanges of LLC Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.



We entered into
a tax receivable agreement with our existing owners which provides for the payment by us to our existing owners of 90% of the benefits,
if any, that we are deemed to realize as a result of (i) the increases in tax basis resulting from our exchanges of LLC
Units and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable
to payments under the tax receivable agreement.



We expect the payments
that we may make under the tax receivable agreement may be substantial.  It is possible that future transactions or events
could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding tax receivable agreement payments. There may
be a material negative effect on our liquidity if distributions to us by the LLC are not sufficient to permit us to make payments
under the tax receivable agreement after we have paid taxes. For example, we may have an obligation to make tax receivable
agreement payments for a certain amount while receiving distributions from the LLC in a lesser amount, which would negatively affect
our liquidity. The payments under the tax receivable agreement are not conditioned upon our existing owners' continued ownership
of us.



We are required to
make a good faith effort to ensure that we have sufficient cash available to make any required payments under the tax receivable
agreement. The operating agreement of the LLC requires the LLC to make “tax distributions” which, in the ordinary course,
will be sufficient to pay our actual tax liability and to fund required payments under the tax receivable agreement. If for any
reason the LLC is not able to make a tax distribution in an amount that is sufficient to make any required payment under the tax
receivable agreement or we otherwise lack sufficient funds, interest would accrue on any unpaid amounts at LIBOR plus 500 basis
points until they are paid.



In the event that we
and an exchanging LLC Unit holder are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the tax receivable agreement, we are required
to appoint either an expert in the relevant field or an arbitrator to make a determination, depending on the matter in dispute.



We recorded deferred
tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock since
our IPO. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which represents
90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed TRA liability
and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for $6.4 million
as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted in corresponding
adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.



In certain cases,
payments under the tax receivable agreement to our existing owners may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits
we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the tax receivable agreement.



The tax receivable
agreement provides that upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, or
if, at any time, Truett-Hurst elects an early termination of the tax receivable agreement, Truett-Hurst’s (or its successor's)
obligations with respect to exchanged or acquired LLC Units (whether exchanged or acquired before or after such transaction) would
be based on certain assumptions, including that the corporate taxpayer would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the
deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the tax receivable
agreement. As a result, (i) we could be required to make payments under the tax receivable agreement that are greater than or less
than the specified percentage of the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the tax receivable
agreement and (ii) if we elect to terminate the tax receivable agreement early, we would be required to make an immediate payment
equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits, and this upfront payment may be made years in advance of the
actual realization of such future benefits. Upon a subsequent actual exchange, any additional increase in tax deductions, tax basis
and other benefits in excess of the amounts assumed at the change in control will also result in payments under the tax receivable
agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the tax receivable agreement could have a substantial negative impact on
our liquidity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the tax receivable agreement.



Payments under the
tax receivable agreement are based on the tax reporting positions that we determine. Although we are not aware of any issue that
would cause the IRS to challenge a tax basis increase, Truett-Hurst will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under
the tax receivable agreement. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the tax receivable agreement
in excess of the benefits that Truett-Hurst actually realizes in respect of (i) the increases in tax basis resulting from
our exchanges of LLC Units and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the tax receivable agreement, including
tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

Risks Related to Our Class A Common
Stock



Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements
of The NASDAQ Capital Market could result in a delisting of our Class A common stock.



If we fail to satisfy the continued listing
requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market, such as the requirement that we maintain a share price of at least $1.00 per share,
NASDAQ may take steps to de-list our Class A common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of
our Class A common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Class A common stock when you wish to do so. In
the event of a delisting, we would expect to seek to take actions to restore our compliance with NASDAQ’s listing requirements,
but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Class A common stock to become listed again, stabilize
the market price or improve the liquidity of our Class A common stock or prevent our Class A common stock from dropping below the
NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement in the future.



We do not intend to pay any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.



We
do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Payments of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of
our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition,
current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and any legal or contractual limitations on our ability to pay dividends.
As a result, capital appreciation in the price of our Class A common stock, if any, may be the only source of gain on an investment
in our Class A common stock.



Even
if we decide in the future to pay any dividends, Truett-Hurst, Inc. is a holding company with no independent operations of
its own except its controlling member equity interest in the LLC. As a result, Truett-Hurst, Inc. depends on H.D.D. LLC and its
affiliates for cash to pay its obligations and make dividend payments. Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash
flow of H.D.D. LLC and its affiliates for any reason could limit or impair its ability to pay cash distributions or other distributions
to us. In addition, our ability to pay dividends in the future is dependent upon our receipt of cash from H.D.D. LLC and its affiliates.
H.D.D. LLC and its affiliates may be restricted from sending cash to us by, among other things, law or provisions of the documents
governing our existing or future indebtedness.



If securities or industry analysts
stop publishing research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our Class A common
stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.



The
trading market for our Class A common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts
publish about us or our business. We have limited research coverage for our stock and it is difficult to attract research coverage
for small-cap companies like ours. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrades our Class A common stock or publishes inaccurate
or unfavorable research about our business, our Class A common stock price may decline. If analysts cease coverage of us or
fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our Class A
common stock price or trading volume to decline and our Class A common stock to be less liquid.



The market price and trading volume
of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control.



The trading price of
shares of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The trading price for many micro-cap and small-cap stocks tends to be volatile.
As a result, the prevailing trading price of the shares of our common stock lower than prices paid by investors, depending on many
factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause
investors to lose part or all of their investment in shares of our common stock. In addition, our operating results could be below
the expectations of public market analysts and investors due to a number of potential factors, including variations in our quarterly
operating results, departures of key management personnel, failure to meet analysts' earnings estimates, publication of research
reports about our industry, litigation and government investigations, changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing
interpretations or enforcement thereof affecting our business, adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities
we may issue in the future, and other factors. You may be unable to resell your shares of Class A common stock at or above
the price you originally paid. In addition as a result of our market capitalization, among other factors, there is limited liquidity
in the market for our common stock. As a result, even if you choose to sell your shares of Class A common stock, you may find it
difficult to do so.



In past years, stock
markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market
and the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies.
This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and
resources.



19







You may be diluted by the future
issuance of additional Class A common stock in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise.



As of June 30, 2015,
we have an aggregate of 11.0 million shares of Class A common stock authorized but unissued, including approximately 3.0 million
shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of outstanding LLC Units and 0.4 million shares reserved for issuance under
our 2012 Incentive Plan. See Part II, Item 8, Note 13, “Stock-based Compensation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue these shares of Class A common
stock and restricted stock rights relating to Class A common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established
by our board of directors in its sole discretion. Any Class A common stock that we issue, including under our 2012 Incentive Plan
or other equity incentive plans that we may adopt in the future, would dilute the percentage ownership held by then existing holders
of our Class A common stock.



We incur increased
costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations that affect public companies, which could
materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.



As a public company,
we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated
with public company reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with Section 404 and
other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ.
In addition, our management team will also have to adapt to the requirements of being a public company. We expect that compliance
with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities
more time-consuming and costly.



The increased costs
associated with operating as a public company will decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may require us to reduce
costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. Additionally, if these requirements divert
our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition, business and prospects.



However, for as long
as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”
including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”



We will not
be required to comply with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company.”



For as long as we remain
an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory
vote on executive compensation. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years unless we no longer qualify for such status prior to that time.
After we are no longer an emerging growth company, we expect to incur additional expenses and devote substantial management effort
toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not emerging growth companies.



Reduced disclosure
requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.



As an “emerging
growth company”, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic
reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation
and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our
common stock less attractive as we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result,
there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

| | Item 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments
| | -------- | -------------------------



None.



| | Item 2. | Properties
| | ------- | ----------



We own a 25-acre facility
located at 5610 Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg, California, of which approximately 15 acres is used for growing grapes.  The
remainder of the facility is used for a tasting room, retail sales space, and office space for support staff.  Although
we have the infrastructure, such as electricity and access to water, necessary to operate a winery at this facility, we have not
made the requisite capital expenditures for grape-crushing equipment.  We believe that the facility can be used to expand
our wine-making operations in the future.



We lease a winery located
at 4035 Westside Road, Healdsburg, California which is approximately three acres.  The term of the lease is five years
commencing on March 1, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2016, with a tenant option to extend for an additional five-year period.
On July 27, 2015 we exercised our option to extend the lease term through February 29, 2021. Our wine production operations and
certain corporate offices are located at this facility.



We lease approximately
2,500 square feet for administrative offices at 125 Foss Creek Circle, Healdsburg, California. The lease commenced on October 15,
2013 and ends on October 31, 2016, and contains three one-year renewal options with adjustment to market rents.



We consider these facilities
to be suitable and adequate for the management and operation of our business. For additional information related to leases, see
Part II, Item 8, Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies.”



| | Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
| | ------- | -----------------



Litigation
Matters



We may be subject to
various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.  The results of litigation and
claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolutions are possible and could materially affect our results of
operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on
us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. However, we are not aware of any current pending
legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.



Indemnification Obligations



Our certificate of
incorporation and our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers and shall indemnify our other
officers and employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. We believe that indemnification under our bylaws
covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified parties. Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance
on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity,
regardless of whether our bylaws would permit indemnification.



We believe that these
provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is therefore unenforceable.



In addition, we maintain
standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims
made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such directors
and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law. We maintain a Directors and Officers
liability insurance policy which enables us to recover a portion of future indemnification claims paid, subject to retentions,
conditions and limitations of those policies. In addition, we make available standard life insurance and accidental death and disability
insurance policies to our employees.

As of September 15,
2015, the last reported sale price on the NASDAQ Capital Market for our common shares was $1.60 per share. Our Class B common
stock is not publicly traded.



Dividend Policy



We have never declared
or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use
in the expansion and operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future
determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable law and
will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors
that our board of directors may deem relevant.



We are a holding company
and have no material assets other than our controlling member equity interest in the LLC. We intend to cause the LLC to make distributions
to us in an amount sufficient to cover cash dividends, if any, declared by us. If the LLC makes such distributions to us, the other
holders of LLC Units will be entitled to receive equivalent distributions.

| | Item 7. | Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
| | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following discussion
and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated
financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties
and assumptions as described under the “Forward-Looking Statements” section that appears earlier in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result
of many factors, including those discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.



Unless the context
suggests otherwise, references in this report to “Truett-Hurst,” the “Company,” “we,” “us”
and “our” refer (1) prior to the June 2013 initial public offering (“IPO”) of Truett-Hurst Inc.
and related transactions, to the LLC and (2) after our IPO and related transactions, to Truett-Hurst Inc.



Overview



We produce and sell
premium, super-premium, ultra-premium and luxury wines and other select beverage alcohol products made from wine. The wine we make
generally comes from grapes purchased from California based growers. In addition we purchase semi-finished bulk wine under contract
and opportunistically on the spot market. On a more limited basis we also purchase finished goods from both foreign and domestic
producers. We are headquartered in Sonoma County, California with tasting rooms in the Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. Our
wines include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon and are sold across
a number of price points via three distinct distribution channels: three-tier, direct to consumer and internet. Our business model
is a combination of direct to consumer sales, traditional three-tier brand sales and retail exclusive brand sales. We own, design
and develop our brands, including those developed and sold on a retailer exclusive basis. Our brands are differentiated and marketed
through innovative packaging and label designs.



Wine sales in the three-tier
channel are sold to distributors with programs available to the broad market (domestic and international markets) or to specific
retailers on an exclusive basis. Our traditional three-tier distribution business consists of sales of Truett-Hurst, VML, Healdsburg
Ranches, Colby Red and Bradford Mountain branded wines. Through our retailer exclusive brand model we work with our retail partners
to develop innovative brands which resonate with their customers and are intended to increase store traffic and expand exclusive
brand sales. Our retail exclusive model allows us to own the brands we create, which we believe differentiates us from the traditional
private label model, and allows us the option of expanding the brands into national and international broad markets, thereby further
building our brand equity.  Our direct to consumer channel consists of sales through our tasting rooms, wine clubs and
via the internet.



Formation Transactions



On June 19, 2013, the limited
liability company agreement of the LLC was amended and restated to, among other things, modify its capital structure by replacing
the different classes of interests previously held by our then-existing owners with a single new class of units that we refer
to as “LLC Units.” We and our then-existing owners also entered into an exchange agreement under which (subject to
the terms of the exchange agreement) they have the right to exchange their LLC Units for shares of our Class A common stock
on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.



At June 30, 2015, there
were 3.0 million LLC Units held by parties other than THI which upon exercise of the right to exchange would exchange for Class
A common stock on a one-for-one basis. During FY15, certain members converted 0.2 million LLC units into Class A common stock.
At June 30, 2015, our founders and affiliates control 48% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A common stock and our outstanding
Class B common stock. Prior to conversion of their LLC Units, each holder of LLC Units holds a single share of our Class B common
stock. Accordingly, our founders and affiliates have significant influence on the election of the members of our board of directors,
and thereby of our management and affairs.



In connection with our
IPO, one share of Class B common stock was distributed to each existing holder of LLC Units, each of which provides its owner with
no economic rights but entitles the holder, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder,
to one vote on matters presented to our stockholders for each LLC Unit held by such holder. Holders of our Class A common stock
and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval,
except as otherwise required by applicable law.



23







Exchange Agreement



Prior to the completion
of the IPO, we entered into an exchange agreement with the existing owners of the LLC, several of whom are directors and/or officers. 
Under the exchange agreement, each LLC member (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may (subject to the terms of the exchange
agreement), exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary
conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at our election. As a holder
exchanges their LLC Units, our interest in the LLC will be correspondingly increased. Through June 30, 2015, certain LLC members
have exchanged 1.1 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange
agreement.



Tax Receivable Agreement



Prior to the completion
of the IPO, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the LLC members. The agreement provides for the payment from time to
time by us, as “corporate taxpayer,” to holders of LLC Units of 90% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the
corporate taxpayer is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from the exchange of LLC Units and
(ii) certain other tax benefits related to us entering into the agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under
the agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of the corporate taxpayer and not of the LLC. For purposes of the agreement,
the benefit deemed realized by the corporate taxpayer will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the corporate
taxpayer (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the corporate taxpayer would have been required
to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the exchanges, and had the corporate
taxpayer not entered into the agreement. The term of the agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized
or expired, unless the corporate taxpayer exercises its right to terminate the agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments
remaining to be made under the agreement or the corporate taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under the agreement
in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the corporate taxpayer had exercised its right to terminate
the agreement.



We will be required
to pay the counterparties to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with current
exchanges, future purchases or exchanges of LLC Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.



H.D.D. LLC intends
to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") effective for each taxable year in which
an exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the
tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC at the time of an exchange of LLC Units. As a result of these exchanges, Truett-Hurst Inc.
will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC. In addition, the purchase
of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC that
otherwise would not have been available.



Both this proportionate
share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Truett-Hurst Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in
the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital
assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.



We recorded deferred
tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock since
our IPO. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which represents
90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed TRA liability
and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for $6.4 million
as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted in corresponding
adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.



Reporting Segments



Our primary reporting
segments are identified by each distinct distribution channel: wholesale, retail, and internet. For details, see “Net Sales”
and Note 16, “Significant Customer Information, Segment Reporting and Geographic Information,” to the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Results of Operations



Factors Affecting Our Operating Results



Our net sales are affected
by advertising, discounts and promotions, merchandising, packaging and in the wholesale segment, the availability of display space
at our retailer customers, all of which have a significant impact on consumers’ buying decisions.  Continued growth
of our net sales and profits will depend, substantially, on the continued popularity of our new and existing brands, our ability
to effectively manage our sales by channel, and our ability to maintain product supply to meet demand.



24







Fiscal 2015 compared to Fiscal 2014



Net Sales



Net sales include sales
from each distribution channel. The following table compares net sales by distribution channel:

|                     |  | For the years ended                |       
|-------------------- |  | ---------------------------------- | ------
|                     |  | (in thousands, except percentages) |       
|Distribution Channel |  | 2015                               |       
|Wholesale            |  | $                                  | 16,803
|Direct to consumer   |  |                                    | 4,839 
|Internet             |  |                                    | 4,984 
|Total net sales      |  | $                                  | 26,626



Total net sales increased
20.7% from FY14 to FY15 with growth experienced in each of our distribution channels.



Wholesale net sales
increased 6.3% in FY15 compared to FY14. The FY15 sales were impacted by the lack of availability of paper bottles to support sales
of our Paper Boy brand as FY14 contained Paper Boy sales. Additionally, net sales in FY15 were impacted by the loss contingency
accrual associated with our Paper Boy brand of $0.6 million.



Direct to consumer
net sales increased 19.8% in FY15 due to increased wine club memberships and increased tasting room traffic.



Internet net sales
increased 125.4% in FY15 compared FY14. The increase was attributed to expansion of our customer reach through a partnership model
and websitetraffic. In the first three quarters of FY15 we experienced significant percentage increases for internet sales.
During the fourth quarter of FY15, the primary partnership that we had ended and we experienced significantly lower sales in the
fourth quarter of FY15. We do not expect to see the pace of sales to recover from those experienced in the fourth quarter.



International sales
were 8% of our wholesale net sales in both FY15 and FY14.



We record sales discounts
and depletion allowances as a reduction of sales at the time of the sale. For FY15 and FY14, sales discounts and depletion allowances
totaled $4.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. We anticipate an increase in the aggregate dollar amount of sales discounts
and depletion allowances in the upcoming fiscal year due to increased wholesale sales.



Cost of Sales



Costs of sales includes
costs associated with direct and indirect grape growing costs, grapes purchased from vineyards we do not own, bulk wine and finished
goods purchases, packaging materials, and direct and indirect winemaking production costs. No further costs are allocated to inventory
once the product is bottled and ready for sale. The following table compares cost of sales by distribution channel:



|                     |  | For the years ended                |       
|-------------------- |  | ---------------------------------- | ------
|                     |  | (in thousands, except percentages) |       
|Distribution Channel |  | 2015                               |       
|Wholesale            |  | $                                  | 13,415
|Direct to consumer   |  |                                    | 1,768 
|Internet             |  |                                    | 2,702 
|Total cost of sales  |  | $                                  | 17,885



25







Wholesale and direct
to consumer sales cost of sales increased compared to the same prior-year period and was attributable to the sales mix, volume,
increased tasting room traffic and a $0.8 million inventory write-downs of the Paperboy product and the CA Winecraft product. Internet
cost of sales increase was due to its sales mix and pricing model.

Wholesale gross profit
margins in FY15 declined by 6.0% from FY14. The impact of the Paperboy related loss accrual charge ($0.6 million) and the Paper
Boy related inventory write-down ($0.2 million) was significant to the reported margins in FY15. Additionally, wholesale margins
were negatively impacted by the writedown of inventories related to the CA Winecraft product totaling ($0.6 million) as well as
the overall lower margin of the CA Winecraft product launch in FY15. Wholesale margins will also have swings due to sales mix.



Direct to consumer
gross profit margins increased compared to the same prior-year period and was attributable to sales mix and selected price increases
associated with certain vintage transitions.



The internet gross
profit margin increased year over year based on improved purchasing dynamics experienced primarily in the first three quarters
of FY15 when the internet segment was experiencing significantly higher sales levels.



Sales and Marketing



Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of non-production personnel costs, advertising and other marketing promotions. Advertising costs are
expensed as incurred. For FY15 and FY14, advertising expense totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Sales and marketing expenses for the FY15 and FY14 periods are as follows:



|                        |  | For the years ended                |      
|----------------------- |  | ---------------------------------- | -----
|                        |  | (in thousands, except percentages) |      
|                        |  | 2015                               |      
|Sales and marketing     |  | $                                  | 7,035
|Percentage of net sales |  |                                    | 26.4 



Sales and marketing
expense increased approximately $1.6 million or 28.3% in FY15 compared FY14. A significant portion of the increase is due to the
variable expenses associated with our sales in our internet segment (i.e., shipping, credit card transaction fees and sales commissions).
We have also had incremental investment in sales personnel, travel and entertainment, and brand related programming, promotions
and incentives.



26







We report the amounts
billed to our customers for shipping and handling as sales, and we report the costs we incur for shipping and handling as a sales
and marketing expense. For FY15 and FY14, shipping costs were $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.



General and administrative



General and administrative
expenses include the costs associated with our administrative staff and other expenses related to our non-manufacturing functions. 
General and administrative expenses for the FY15 and FY14 periods are as follows:



|                           |  | For the years ended                |      
|-------------------------- |  | ---------------------------------- | -----
|                           |  | (in thousands, except percentages) |      
|                           |  | 2015                               |      
|General and administrative |  | $                                  | 3,432
|Percentage of net sales    |  |                                    | 12.9 



General and administrative
expense increased 27.2% or $0.7 million in FY15 compared to FY14. There were increases year over year in personnel related expenses,
legal expenses as well as non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million in FY15 when compared to FY14.



Loss on Deposit



On March 5, 2014, a
paper bottle supplier entered into administration in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), a process similar to the U.S. bankruptcy
process. As a result of the administrative filing, we recorded a one-time provision for loss on deposit of approximately $0.5 million
relating to amounts previously paid in advance and for estimated legal costs for filing a U.K. administrative claim. Our policy
is to include direct costs associated with the provision. We are unable at this time to predict the legal outcome of our claim
and believe it is unlikely that any amount will be recovered. For additional information see “Supply Contract” and
“Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.



Interest Expense



Interest expense for
FY15 was $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million for the same prior-year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



General



Our primary sources
of available cash are from operations, the revolving loan portion of our bank loans, equipment financing and equity offerings.
Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements (primarily inventory), capital expenditures for barrels and other
equipment to facilitate increased production, repay our indebtedness (interest and principal payments) and operating expenses.
We are able to borrow against our working capital assets (accounts receivable and inventory) via an asset based bank loan.  
The actual wine programs and segments in which the grapes and bulk wine procured will be used are not known until our winemaker
has completed the winemaking, blending and oak aging production process. It is not possible to accurately assign inventory to each
segment because the bottled inventory may be sold in multiple segments.



|                          |  | For the years ended                |        |  | 2015 to 2014 |  
|------------------------- |  | ---------------------------------- | ------ |  | ------------ | -

|Working capital           |  | $                                  | 13,028 |  |              | $
|Cash and cash equivalents |  | $                                  | 1,679  |  |              | $



Borrowings under our
credit facilities are at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a credit spread.  Borrowings under
the equipment line of credit are converted to term notes, annually. For information regarding the loans and loan guarantees see
below “Indebtedness” and “Security Agreements and Limited Guarantees” and “Note 8 – Commitments
and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The availability
is subject to our compliance with certain contractual financial and non-financial covenants. The terms of our bank loans require,
among other things, compliance with certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current assets to current
liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly),  debt service coverage
ratio (measured annually) and minimum EBITDA (measured at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016).



Working capital decreased
$2.3 million for FY15 from $15.3 million for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease in working capital was attributable
to fund operations and offset by an increase in inventories. Cash decreased by $3.9 million to $1.7 million at the end of FY15
from $5.6 million at the end of FY14.



We may purchase barrels
and or equipment in the next twelve months. We have experienced no material trends or changes in the type or cost of our capital
resources. We believe that our cash position and availability under our bank loan and equipment line of credit will be adequate
to finance working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, require
additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy. We anticipate that, to the extent that we require additional
liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential
sources of liquidity, although no assurance can be given that such forms of capital will be available to us, or available to us
on terms which are acceptable, at such time.



Cash Flows



A summary of cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities for the periods indicated are shown in the following table:



|                                          |  | For the years ended |        |   | 2015 to 2014 |

28







Operating Activities



Net cash used in operating activities decreased $4.0 million for FY15 compared to the same prior-year end period.



The decrease in operating cash usage in FY15 was primarily driven by change in working capital. There was an increase in inventory
and a decrease bulk wine deposit versus FY14. Accounts receivable was a source of cash in FY15 versus a use of cash in FY14.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses also provided $1.0 million to operating cash in FY15 versus being a use of cash in FY14.
The reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses in FY14 was primarily due to IPO related expenses from FY13 that were
paid in FY14. Operating activity for the year includes a non-cash add back for the reserve for obsolete inventories in the
amount of $0.6 related to the CA Winecraft product.



Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing
activities decreased $0.2 million for FY15 compared to the same prior-year end period.



In addition to barrel
purchases, we acquired full control of the Stonegate brand and invested in long lived assets associated with brands including but
not limited to CA Winecraft and the Republic of Wine.



Financing Activities



Net cash provided by
financing activities decreased $1.8 million for FY15 compared to the same prior-year end period. In FY14, the line of credit borrowing
increased by $1.8 million versus an increase of $0.3 million in FY15. In FY15, we repaid $0.3 million in scheduled amortization
of other debt while other debt increased by $0.2 million in FY14.



Contractual Obligations and Commitments



Financing Agreements



Indebtedness



Our indebtedness is
comprised primarily of bank loans. As of June 30, 2015, we were engaged in refinancing our bank loans and obtaining an additional
Equipment Purchase Line of Credit for our capital expenditure needs in fiscal 2016. On July 15, 2015, we completed the refinancing
process with our lender, Bank of the West. Below is a description of the loans as of June 30, 2015 as well as those put in place
as of July 15, 2015.



For information regarding
the loan guarantees see below “Security Agreements and Limited Guarantees” below and Part II, Item 8, Note 8, “Commitments
and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Security Agreements
and Limited Guaranties



In connection with
our entry into the Bank of the West Loan on July 16, 2012, certain of our executive officers, as well as certain trusts and other
entities under their respective control, had entered into guarantee agreements. A number of these guarantees were modified when
we renewed our loans with Bank of the West on July 15, 2015. When the guarantees were modified the limited guaranty from the Hambrecht

Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements



Financial instruments
that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivables. We maintain our
accounts for cash principally at one major bank in the United States. Historically, our daily cash balances have been small due
to our sweep arrangement with the line of credit. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash. Although we try to
limit the amount of credit exposure with our major bank, we do in the normal course of business maintain cash balances in excess
of federally insured limits.



Our accounts receivable
consists primarily of trade receivables from customers who tend to be large distributors. We review accounts receivable regularly
and make estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. We
believe our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and we have not experienced significant accounts receivable write
offs.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have off-balance
sheet risks related to foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.



Leases and Commitments



We lease a winery,
tasting room facility, office space and certain office equipment. We enter into short and long-term contracts to supply a portion
of our future grapes and bulk wine inventory requirements with third parties and related party growers.  The following
table presents future minimum inventory commitments as of June 30, 2015:



|Years ending June 30: |  | Third Parties  |       |  | Related Parties |   |       | Total |

Supply Contract



On February 26, 2013,
we executed a supply of goods agreement for our paper wine bottle. The term of the agreement was seven years and the minimum purchase
commitment for the first two years was $0.8 million for each year. At March 5, 2014, the supplier entered into administration in
the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), a process similar to the U.S. bankruptcy process and subsequently terminated the supply
contract. As a result of the administrative filing, we recorded a one-time provision for loss on deposit of approximately $0.5
million relating to amounts previously paid in advance and for estimated legal costs to file a U.K. administrative claim. Our policy
is to include direct costs associated with the provision. We believe the financial impact is isolated to the third quarter of fiscal
2014.



31







On February 18, 2014,
we entered into a two-year supply agreement (with three, one-year renewal options) with a U.S supplier and we believed the supply
relationship would provide the volume to meet our PaperBoy sales goals. Due to their failure to perform, this contract has been
terminated and no go forward financial liability exists.



At June 30, 2015, total
future purchase commitments for finished goods total approximately $5.3 million and are expected to be fulfilled during fiscal
2015 to 2017.



Production



We enter into
various contracts with third party service providers for grape crushing and bottling. The costs are recorded in the period
for which the service is provided. The actual costs related to custom crush services are based on volume. Our current
contract for custom crush only covers the 2015 harvest. Our current bottling contract requires a minimum of 200,000 cases  at
$2.40 per  case to be bottled in a one year period.



Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices



Our results of operations
and financial condition have not been significantly affected by inflation and changing prices. We intend to pass along rising costs
through increased selling prices, subject to normal competitive conditions. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be
able to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices. In addition, we continue to identify on-going cost savings initiatives.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature
and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at fiscal year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. Significant estimates include inventory
valuation, equity-based compensation, contingencies, income tax and deferred tax asset and liability valuation and fair value measurements
for goodwill and other long-lived assets used in our initial recording and evaluation of impairment for such assets. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the given circumstances.
These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could
differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements
for continued reasonableness. We prospectively apply appropriate adjustments, if any, to our estimates based upon our periodic
evaluation.



Our critical accounting
policies include:



Liquidity and
Capital Resources



The terms of our bank
loans require, among other things, compliance with certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current
assets to current liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly), debt
service coverage ratio (measured annually), and minimum EBITDA (measured December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016). For additional

Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Accounts Receivable



Accounts receivable
consists primarily of trade receivables from customers who tend to be large distributors.  We review accounts receivable
regularly and make estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances.  In
evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, the
customer’s historical payment history, its current credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Bad debts are
written off after all collection efforts have ceased.  We generally do not require collateral from our customers.  We
do not accrue interest on past-due amounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts was not recorded for FY15 and FY14, as
bad debts have historically been negligible.

Inventories



Inventories consist
primarily of bulk and bottled wine, capitalized cultural costs, merchandise and purchased grapes valued at the lower of cost or
market using the first-in, first-out or specific identification method.  In accordance with general wine industry practice,
bulk and bottled wine inventories are included in current assets, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for a period
longer than one year. Costs related to growing grapes on our vineyards are reflected in inventories as capitalized cultural costs.
Upon completion of the harvest, these costs are included in bulk wine.  Costs associated with winemaking and the production
of wine are reflected in inventories as bulk wine until the wine has been bottled and is available for sale.



We assess the valuation
of our inventories and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to
its estimated net realizable value. We estimate the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions
including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories
are recorded in cost of product sold. If the future demand for our products is less favorable than our forecasts, then the value
of the inventories may be required to be reduced, which could result in material additional expense and may have a material adverse
impact on our financial statements.



Property and
Equipment



Property and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a
straight-line basis over the useful lives of the asset, principally twenty to forty years for building and improvements, five years
for machinery and equipment, seven to fifteen years for vineyard development, ten to twenty years for vineyard equipment, five
to ten years for furniture and fixtures, the shorter of estimated useful life or lease term, generally five years for leasehold
improvements and five years for vehicles.  Costs incurred in developing vineyards are capitalized and depreciation commences
when the related vineyard becomes commercially productive.



Expenditures for major
renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included as a component
of income (loss) from operations.



Impairment of
Long-lived Assets



We review our long-lived
assets for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted
cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.



Goodwill and
Intangible Assets



We review our goodwill
and indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We use April 1 as our annual impairment test measurement date. In other
periods we measure goodwill and intangible for impairment if changes in business circumstances require us to do so.  Indefinite
lived intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks.  Intangible assets determined to have a finite life are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, principally four years for the customer lists and non-compete agreement, five years for proprietary
technology and ten years for the trademark.  Patents will be amortized over their estimated legal lives.



Other Assets



Other assets are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, principally five years for label design costs, the lesser of the loan term or ten years for
loan fees, ten years for lease costs – related party, and five years for website design costs. Label designs are evaluated
for impairment in accordance with our policy on impairment of long lived assets.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize wine sales
when the product is shipped and title passes to the customer.  Our standard terms are ‘FOB’ shipping point,
with no customer acceptance provisions.  The cost of price promotions and discounts are treated as reductions of sales.  No
products are sold on consignment.  Credit sales are recorded as trade accounts receivable and no collateral is required.  Net
sales from items sold through our retail locations are recognized at the time of sale.



33







Sales Discounts
and Depletion Allowances



We record sales discounts and depletion
allowances as a reduction of sales at the time of the sale. For FY15 and FY14, sales discounts and depletion allowances totaled
$4.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.



Cost of Sales



Cost of sales includes
costs associated with grape growing, grapes purchased from vineyards we do not own, bulk wine and finished goods purchases, packaging
materials, winemaking and production costs, vineyard and production administrative support and overhead costs, purchasing and receiving
costs and certain warehousing costs.  No further costs are allocated to inventory once the product is bottled and available
for sale. Inventory reserves and provisions are included in cost of sales.



Expense Allocation



The LLC Operating Agreement
provides that substantially all expenses incurred by or attributable to our company, income tax expenses and payments on indebtedness
are borne by the LLC.



Sales and Marketing
Expense



Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of non-manufacturing personnel, advertising and other marketing promotions.  Advertising costs
are expensed as incurred.  For FY15 and FY14, advertising expense totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.



General and Administrative
Expenses



General and administrative
expenses include the costs associated with our administrative staff and other expenses related to our non-manufacturing functions.



Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs



We report the amounts
billed to our customers for shipping and handling as sales, and we report the costs we incur for shipping and handling as a sales
and marketing expense.  Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies in the same industry as other companies
may include shipping and handling costs as a cost of sales.  For FY15 and FY14, shipping costs were $1.5 million and
$0.8 million, respectively.



34







Income Taxes
and Deferred Tax Asset Valuation



The LLC is treated
as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The members separately account for
their pro-rata share of income, deductions, losses, and credits. Therefore, no provision is made for the LLC’s share of net
income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements for liabilities for federal, state, or local income taxes which liabilities
are the responsibility of the individual members. The LLC is subject to entity level taxation in the state of California. As a
result, the accompanying consolidated statements of income include tax expense related to this state. Subsequent to June 26 2013,
Truett-Hurst, Inc. became subject to U.S. federal, state, and local taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income
of H.D.D. LLC and will be taxed at the prevailing corporate rates.



The provision for income
taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
In assessing net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The net deferred tax asset is evaluated at the end of each year considering all available positive
and negative evidence, including reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies, and results of recent operations. When we do not believe the realization of a deferred tax asset is likely, we record
a valuation allowance. During the fiscal year, we recorded a valuation allowance of $6.7 million as it was determined that it was more likely than
not that the tax benefits would not be realized. This is an increase of $3.7 million from the $3.0 million recorded in FY14.



We are subject to income
taxes in the U.S. and state jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining
its provision for income taxes. Accounting for income tax uncertainties requires a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain
tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence
indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals
or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than fifty percent
likely of being realized upon settlement.



We adjust the reserves
in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent
that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision
for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve
provisions as well as related interest and penalties.



As of June 30, 2015,
there are no material uncertain tax positions and we expect no major changes in the next 12 months. We file income tax returns
in the U.S. federal and the state jurisdiction of California. For Truett-Hurst, Inc., U.S. federal and state tax returns associated
with fiscal year ended 2013 are currently open to examination. US federal and state tax returns for H.D.D. LLC associated with
calendars years ended 2011-2014 are currently open to examination.



Stock-Based Compensation



Stock-based compensation
is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ASC Topic 718”).  ASC Topic 718 requires
the measurement of compensation for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair values at the grant date for equity classified
awards and the recognition of the related compensation expense over the appropriate vesting period.  Under ASC Topic
718, compensation expense is based, among other things, on (i) the classification of an award, (ii) assumptions relating
to fair value measurement such as the value of the stock of Truett-Hurst and its volatility, the expected term of the award and
forfeiture rates, and (iii) whether performance criteria, if any, have been met. We use both internal and external data to
assess compensation expense. Changes in these estimates could significantly impact stock based compensation expense in the future.  The
expected term of the option is based upon the contractual term, expected employee exercise and expected post-vesting employment
termination behavior.



We account for equity
instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Equity
instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market
adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2015, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles
- Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
(“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement
includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer
should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses.
The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement
does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for us in FY16. We are in the process of assessing the future
impact of this update to the consolidated financial statements.



In April 2015, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance
Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement 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 is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03
will be effective for us in FY16. We are in the process of assessing the future impact of this update to the consolidated financial
statements.



In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No.
2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit
arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The
SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and
subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.”



In August 2014,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of
Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update sets forth a requirement for
management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or
to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for us in FY17. We are in the process of assessing
the future impact of this update to the consolidated financial statements.



We have reviewed all
recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements
may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.



Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk



We are a smaller reporting
company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item.



Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders, Truett-Hurst,
Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of Truett-Hurst, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2015. The Company’s management
is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Truett-Hurst, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
June 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS



Business



Truett-Hurst, Inc.
is a holding company formed in Delaware and its sole asset is the controlling member equity interest in H.D.D. LLC. The audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 and  June 30, 2014 include the results of Truett-Hurst,
Inc. subsidiaries: H.D.D. LLC (“LLC”) and its consolidated subsidiary, The Wine Spies, LLC (“Wine Spies”)
(collectively, “we,” “Truett-Hurst,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”). 
We refer to The Wine Spies, LLC as Wine Spies. Truett-Hurst consolidates the financial results of the LLC and subsidiary, and record
a noncontrolling interests for the economic interest in the LLC and its subsidiary.  Noncontrolling interests represent the
portion of equity ownership in subsidiaries that are not attributable to Truett-Hurst, Inc.



We operate and control
all of the business and affairs and consolidate the financial results of the LLC. In addition, pursuant to the limited liability
company agreement of the LLC, we have the right to determine when distributions will be made to the members of the LLC and the
amount of distributions. If we authorize a distribution, such distribution will be made to the members of the LLC pro rata in accordance
with the percentages of their respective limited liability company interests.



Quantities or results
referred to as “to date” or “as of this date” mean as of or to June 30, 2015, unless otherwise specifically
noted. References to “FY” or “fiscal year” refer to our fiscal year ending on June 30th of the
designated year. For example, “FY14” and “fiscal year 2014” each refer to the fiscal year ended June 30,
2014 and “FY15” and “fiscal year 2015” each refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This Annual Report
on Form 10-K references certain trademarks and registered trademarks of ours and products or service names of other companies mentioned
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may be trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.



Formation Transactions



On
June 19, 2013, the limited liability company agreement of the LLC was amended and restated to, among other things, modify its capital
structure by replacing the different classes of interests previously held by our then-existing owners with a single new class of
units that we refer to as “LLC Units.” We entered into an exchange agreement under which the existing owners have the
right to exchange their LLC Units for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion
rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.



As of June 30, 2015
there were 3.0 million LLC Units held by parties other than Truett-Hurst, Inc. which upon exercise of the right to exchange would
exchange for 3.0 million shares of Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2015, there have been 1.1 million LLC units exchanged.



In connection with
the IPO, one share of Class B common stock was distributed to each existing holder of LLC Units, each of which provides its owner
with no economic rights but entitles the holder, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder,
to one vote on matters presented to our stockholders for each LLC Unit held by such holder. Holders of our Class A common stock
and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval,
except as otherwise required by applicable law.



As of June 30, 2015,
our founders and affiliates control 48% of the combined voting power through their ownership of our outstanding Class A common
stock and/or Class B common stock. Prior to conversion of their LLC Units, each holder of LLC Units holds a single share of our
Class B common stock. Accordingly, our founders and affiliates have significant influence on the election of members of our board
of directors, and thereby to influence on our management and affairs.

The LLC Agreement provides
that substantially all expenses incurred by or attributable to us (such as expenses incurred in connection with the IPO), but not
including obligations incurred under the Tax Receivable Agreement (see below), our income tax expenses and payments on indebtedness
incurred by us, are to be borne by the LLC.



Exchange Agreement



Prior to the completion
of the IPO, we entered into an exchange agreement with the existing owners of the LLC, several of whom are directors and/or officers. 
Under the exchange agreement, each LLC member (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may (subject to the terms of the exchange
agreement), exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary
conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at our election. As a holder
exchanges their LLC Units, our interest in the LLC will be correspondingly increased. During
FY14, certain LLC members exchanged 0.9 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company,
under the exchange agreement.During FY15, certain LLC members exchanged 0.2 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis,
for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange agreement.



Tax Receivable Agreement



Prior to the completion
of the IPO, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the LLC members. The agreement provides for the payment from time to
time by us, as “corporate taxpayer,” to holders of LLC Units of 90% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the
corporate taxpayer is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis resulting from the exchange of LLC Units and
(ii) certain other tax benefits related to us entering into the agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under
the agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of the corporate taxpayer and not of the LLC. For purposes of the agreement,
the benefit deemed realized by the corporate taxpayer will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the corporate
taxpayer (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the corporate taxpayer would have been required
to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the exchanges, and had the corporate
taxpayer not entered into the agreement. The term of the agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized
or expired, unless the corporate taxpayer exercises its right to terminate the agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments
remaining to be made under the agreement or the corporate taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under the agreement
in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the corporate taxpayer had exercised its right to terminate
the agreement.



H.D.D. LLC intends
to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") effective for each taxable year in which
an exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the
tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC at the time of an exchange of LLC Units. As a result of these exchanges, Truett-Hurst Inc.
will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC. In addition, the purchase
of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC that
otherwise would not have been available.



Both this proportionate
share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Truett-Hurst, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay
in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital
assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.



We recorded deferred
tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock during
FY14 and FY15. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which
represents 90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed
TRA liability and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets
for $6.4 million as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted
in corresponding adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.

Emerging Growth Company Status



We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2012 (“JOBS Act”).  For
as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but
not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions
from the requirements of holding stockholder advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and stockholder
advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.



The JOBS Act also provides
that an “emerging growth company” can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
However, we chose to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised
accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging
growth companies.”



NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES



Basis of Presentation



Preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S.
GAAP” or “GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include inventory valuation, equity-based compensation,
contingencies, income tax and deferred tax asset and liability valuation and fair value measurements for goodwill and other long-lived
assets used in our initial recording and evaluation of impairment for such assets. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be
materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates
made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for continued
reasonableness. We prospectively apply appropriate adjustments, if any, to our estimates based upon our periodic evaluation.



Reclassifications



Certain prior year
amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
These reclassifications had no effect on the reported consolidated results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies



Liquidity and
Capital Resources



The terms of our bank
loans require, among other things, compliance with certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum current
assets to current liabilities ratio (measured quarterly), debt to effective tangible net worth ratio (measured quarterly), debt
service coverage ratio (measured annually), and minimum EBITDA (measured at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016). For additional
information related to our bank loans, see Part II, Item 8, Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies.”



Accounts Receivable



Accounts receivable
consists primarily of trade receivables from customers who tend to be large distributors.  We review accounts receivable
regularly and make estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances.  In
evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, the
customer’s historical payment history, its current credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Bad debts are
written off after all collection efforts have ceased. We generally do not require collateral from our customers. We do not accrue
interest on past-due amounts.



An allowance for doubtful
accounts was not recorded for FY15 or FY14, as bad debts have historically been negligible.



Inventories



Inventories consist
primarily of bulk and bottled wine, capitalized cultural costs, merchandise and purchased grapes valued at the lower of cost or
market using the first-in, first-out or specific identification method.  In accordance with general wine industry practice,
bulk and bottled wine inventories are included in current assets, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for a period
longer than one year. Costs related to growing grapes on our vineyards are reflected in inventories as capitalized cultural costs.
Upon completion of the harvest, these costs are included in bulk wine.  Costs associated with winemaking and the production
of wine are reflected in inventories as bulk wine until the wine has been bottled and is available for sale.



We assess the valuation of our inventories
and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to its estimated net
realizable value. We estimate the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions including, but not
limited to, historical usage, future demand and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded
in cost of product sold. If the future demand for our products is less favorable than our forecasts, then the value of the inventories
may be required to be reduced, which could result in material additional expense and may have a material adverse impact on our
financial statements.



Property and
Equipment



Property and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a
straight-line basis over the useful lives of the asset, principally twenty to forty years for building and improvements, five years
for machinery and equipment, seven to fifteen years for vineyard development, ten to twenty years for vineyard equipment, five
to ten years for furniture and fixtures, the shorter of estimated useful life or lease term, generally five years for leasehold
improvements and five years for vehicles.  Costs incurred in developing vineyards are capitalized and depreciation commences
when the related vineyard becomes commercially productive.



Expenditures for major
renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included as a component
of income (loss) from operations.



Impairment of
Long-lived Assets



We review our long-lived
assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount

and percentages)



NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES, continued



of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted
cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.



Goodwill and
Intangible Assets



We review our goodwill
and indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We use April 1 as our annual impairment test measurement date. Indefinite
lived intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks.  Intangible assets determined to have a finite life are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, principally four years for the customer lists and non-compete agreement, five years for proprietary
technology and ten years for the trademark.  Patents are amortized over their estimated legal lives.



Other Assets



Other assets are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, principally five years for label design costs, ten years for loan fees, ten years for lease
costs – related party, and five years for website design costs. Label designs are evaluated for impairment in accordance
with our policy on impairment of long lived assets.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize wine sales
when the product is shipped and title passes to the customer.  Our standard terms are ‘FOB’ shipping point,
with no customer acceptance provisions.  The cost of price promotions and discounts are treated as reductions of sales.  No
products are sold on consignment.  Credit sales are recorded as trade accounts receivable and no collateral is required.  Net
sales from items sold through our retail locations are recognized at the time of sale.



Sales Discounts
and Depletion Allowances



We record sales discounts
and depletion allowances as a reduction of sales at the time of the sale. For FY15 and FY14, sales discounts and depletion allowances
totaled $4.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.



Cost of Sales



Cost of sales includes
costs associated with grape growing, grapes purchased from vineyards we do not own, bulk wine and finished goods purchases, packaging
materials, winemaking and production costs, vineyard and production administrative support and overhead costs, purchasing and receiving
costs and certain warehousing costs.  No further costs are allocated to inventory once the product is bottled and available
for sale. Inventory reserves and provisions are included in cost of sales.



Expense Allocation



The LLC Operating Agreement
provides that substantially all expenses incurred by or attributable to the Company, income tax expenses and payments on indebtedness
are borne by the LLC.



Sales and Marketing
Expense



Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of costs for non-manufacturing personnel, advertising and other marketing promotions.  Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. For FY15 and FY14, advertising expense totaled approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES, continued



General and Administrative
Expenses



General and administrative
expenses include the costs associated with our administrative staff and other expenses related to our non-manufacturing functions.



Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs



We report the amounts
billed to our customers for shipping and handling as sales, and we report the costs we incur for shipping and handling as a sales
and marketing expense.  Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies in the same industry as other companies
may include shipping and handling costs as a cost of sales.  For FY15 and FY14, shipping costs were $1.5 million and
$0.8 million, respectively.



Income Tax and
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation



The LLC is treated
as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The members separately account for
their pro-rata share of income, deductions, losses, and credits. Therefore, no provision is made for the LLC’s share of net
income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements for liabilities for federal, state, or local income taxes since such liabilities
are the responsibility of the individual members.



As of June 30, 2015,
there are no material uncertain tax positions and we expect no major changes in the next 12 months. We file income tax returns
in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations
by tax authorities for years before 2009.



The provision for income
taxes is calculated using the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
In assessing net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. When we do not believe the realization of a deferred tax asset is likely, we record a valuation
allowance. The valuation allowance is evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether
the deferred tax assets will be realized.



We are subject to income
taxes in the U.S. and state jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining
our provision for income taxes. Accounting for income tax uncertainties requires a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain
tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence
indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals
or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than fifty percent
likely of being realized upon settlement.



We adjust the reserves
in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent
that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision
for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve
provisions as well as related interest and penalties.



Stock-Based Compensation



Stock-based
compensation is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ASC Topic
718”).  ASC Topic 718 requires the measurement of compensation for stock-based awards based on the estimated
fair values at the grant date for equity classified awards and the recognition of the related compensation expense over the
appropriate vesting period.  Under ASC Topic 718, compensation expense is based, among other things, on
(i) the classification of an award, (ii) assumptions relating to fair value measurement such as the value of the
stock of Truett-Hurst and its volatility, the expected term of the award and forfeiture rates, and (iii) whether
performance criteria, if any, have been met. We use both internal and external data to assess compensation expense. Changes
in these estimates could significantly impact stock based compensation

POLICIES, continued



expense in the future.  The expected
term of the option is based upon the contractual term, expected employee exercise and expected post-vesting employment termination
behavior.



We account for equity
instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Equity
instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market
adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest.



Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2015, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05: Intangibles
- Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
(“ASU 2015-05”). The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement
includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the update specifies that the customer
should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses.
The update further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement
does not include a software license. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for us in FY16. We are in the process of assessing the future
impact of this update to the consolidated financial statements.



In April 2015, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
(“ASU 2015-03”). The update sets forth a requirement 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 is not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03
will be effective for us in FY16. We are in the process of assessing the future impact of this update to the consolidated financial
statements.



In August, 2015 , the FASB issued ASU No.
2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit
arrangements given the lack of guidance on this topic in ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The
SEC staff has announced that it would “not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and
subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.”



In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update sets forth a requirement for management to evaluate whether
there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote
disclosures. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for us in FY17. We are in the process of assessing the future impact of this
update to the consolidated financial statements.



We have reviewed all
recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements
may be expected to cause a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of our operations.

In March 2015, in order to support the launch
of our CA Winecraft brand with The Kroger Company, we produced almost 48,000 cases of product. We have estimated that the product
maintains its highest quality for 10 months after its production date and as such this initial production has a “best by”
date of January 2016. The initial production quantities were expected to be fully depleted based on commitments by Kroger to promote
the product through in-store displays and its “Summer Rack Program.” CA Winecraft product started shipping to distributors
in April 2015 and through May 2015 approximately 33,000 cases of product had shipped. In June 2015 to allow for distributor back
stock and to support anticipated replenishment orders, we produced an additional 32,000 cases of product. The “best by”
date for the second production is April 2016.



The number of stores that participated in
the “Summer Rack Program” and/or stocked shelves with CA Winecraft product fell short of Kroger’s initial guidance
and our expectations. Based on reports from Kroger, through early September, approximately 5,000 cases of product has been purchased
by consumers. We are working with Kroger to increase both the number of stores selling the product and the retail rate of sale;
however, we are unable to predict the impact of these efforts. In late August 2015, Kroger agreed to forgo exclusivity on the product,
and since then we have been working with our distributors and other potential customers to increase points of distribution for
the product outside the Kroger store network. There is no assurance that these sales efforts will lead to incremental orders. The
lower number of distribution points combined with slower than anticipated retail rate of sale has left inventory levels higher
than planned. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately 45,000 cases of product in our inventory and through September 13, 2015
our inventory levels remain materially unchanged.



As of June 30, 2015, the net carrying cost of the CA Winecraft inventory was $0.2 million after establishing a $0.5 million
reserve for potential obsolescence of the CA Winecraft product. Intangible assets and other assets related to CA Winecraft
were written off in the amount of $0.1 million in FY15.



NOTE 4 – OTHER CURRENT ASSETS



Other current assets as of FY15 include
the fair market value of the interest rate swap for $0.02 million and other prepaid amounts of $0.3 million. Other current assets
as FY14 include the fair market value of the interest rate swap for $0.07 million and other prepaid amounts of $0.1 million.

Total depreciation
and amortization was $0.5 million $0.3 million for FY15 and FY14, respectively.



NOTE 6 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE
ASSETS



In August 2012, we
entered into a membership purchase interest agreement with an individual to purchase a 50% interest in The Wine Spies, LLC, to
further develop our presence in on-line wine sales. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination and we have
recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined
by management and totaled $0.5 million. The intangibles are being amortized over their estimated lives ranging from four to ten
years. We recorded the excess of consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values as goodwill in the amount of $0.1 million.
We hold three of the four management control positions and therefore have consolidated the business as of the acquisition date.
Noncontrolling interest is shown in the consolidated financial statements.



During the fourth quarter
of FY15, the performance of our Wine Spies subsidiary showed a material decline as compared to recent trends. The declining performance
triggered management to make an evaluation of the goodwill and intangible assets related to Wine Spies. As a result of the evaluation,
management determined that the goodwill and intangible assets should be fully impaired. Impairment charges totaled $0.4 million
($0.1 million related to goodwill and $0.3 million related to intangible assets.



Costs related to obtaining
trademarks and patents are capitalized and categorized as intangible asset with indefinite lives. We review the current and future
plans for the trademarks and patents each year on April 1 to determine if any impairment in required.



Intangible asset balances
are summarized as follows:





|                              |  | As of June 30, |

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $0.1 million for FY15 and FY14, respectively. The expected future amortization
of patents is $0.04 million. Patents are amortized from the time they are granted over the expected life of the patent.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



Leases



In February 2011, we
entered into a lease agreement for a tasting room and winery.  The lease is for five years, commencing on March 1, 2011
and ending on February 29, 2016, and contains one option to extend for an additional period of five years.  On July 27,
2015 we exercised the option to extend our lease of the property through February 29, 2021. We have the right of first refusal
in the event the lessor desires to sell the leased property.  Annual rent for the tasting room is $0.1 million, due monthly.  The
winery rent is subject to adjustment based on the actual number of cases produced each year; however, future payments are based
on a minimum number of cases, as specified in the agreement.  Beginning on September 1, 2012 and annually thereafter,
tasting room and winery rent is increased by 3%.  Lease expense is accounted for on a straight-line basis.



In October 2013, we
entered into a lease agreement for administrative office space. The lease commenced on October 15, 2013 and ends on October 31,
2016, and contains three one-year renewal options with adjustment to market rents.



Rent expense for these facilities for FY15 and FY14 totaled $0.3 million per year.

Supply Contracts



On February 26, 2013,
we executed a supply of goods agreement for our paper wine bottle production.  The term of the agreement is seven years
and has a $0.8 million minimum purchase commitment for each of the first two years.  At March 5, 2014, the supplier entered
into administration in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), a process similar to the U.S. bankruptcy process and we subsequently
terminated the supply contract. As a result of the administrative filing, we recorded a one-time provision for loss on deposit
of approximately $0.5 million relating to amounts previously paid in advance and for estimated legal costs for filing a U.K. administrative
claim. Our policy is to include direct costs associated with the provision. We are unable at this time to predict the legal outcome
of our claim and believe it is unlikely that any amount will be recovered.



We entered into a two-year
supply agreement (with three, one-year renewal options) with a new supplier in the U.S. to provide paper bottles. Due to lack of
performance, this contract was terminated and we no longer have any financial commitment.



At June 30, 2015, total
future purchase commitments for finished goods total approximately $5.3 million and are expected to be fulfilled during fiscal
2016 to 2017.



We enter into short
and long-term contracts to supply a portion of our future grapes and bulk wine inventory requirements with third parties and related
party growers.  Future minimum inventory commitments are as follows:

For FY15 and FY14,
grape inventory payments under the agreements with related parties totaled $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.



Production



We enter into various contracts with third party service providers for grape crushing and bottling. The costs are recorded
in the period for which the service is provided. The actual costs related to custom crush services are based on volume. Our
current contract for custom crush only covers the 2015 harvest. Our current bottling contract requires a minimum of 200,000
cases at  $2.40 per  case to be bottled in a one year period.



Exchange Agreement



Prior to the completion
of the IPO, we entered into an exchange agreement with the existing owners of the LLC, several of whom are directors and/or officers. 
Under the exchange agreement, each existing owner (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may (subject to the terms of the
exchange agreement), exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject
to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at our election.
As a holder exchanges their LLC Units, our interest in the LLC will be correspondingly increased. During FY15, certain members
exchanged 0.2 million LLC units, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange
agreement. During FY14, certain members exchanged 0.9 million LLC units,
on a one-for-one basis, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company, under the exchange agreement.



Tax Receivable Agreement



We entered into a tax
receivable agreement with the LLC unit holders which provides for payment by the Company to the LLC unit holders who convert their
units to shares, an amount equal to 90% of the amount of the benefit, if any, that are realized as a result of (i) increases in
tax basis associated with the election effected under Section 754 of the Code, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our
entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.
Any payments under the tax receivable agreement will depend upon whether we have taxable income to utilize the benefit.



We will be required
to pay the counterparties to the tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim arising in connection with current
exchanges, future purchases or exchanges of LLC Units and related transactions, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.



H.D.D. LLC intends
to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") effective for each taxable year in which
an exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock as described above occurs, which may result in an adjustment to the
tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC at the time of an exchange of LLC Units. As a result of these exchanges, Truett-Hurst Inc.
will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC. In addition, the purchase
of Holdings Units and subsequent exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of H.D.D. LLC that
otherwise would not have been available.



Both this proportionate
share and these increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that Truett-Hurst Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in
the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital
assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES,
continued



We recorded deferred
tax assets of $6.4 million related to the exchange of 1.1 million LLC units for an equal amount of THI Class A common stock since
our IPO. We recorded a $5.7 million long-term liability due to LLC unit holders who converted their units to shares which represents
90% of the estimated tax benefits and $0.6 million for the difference in the recorded deferred tax asset and computed TRA liability
and recorded as an adjustment to equity. Additionally, we recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for $6.4 million
as it was determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, which resulted in corresponding
adjustments to the TRA liability and equity as mentioned above.



Litigation



We may be subject to
various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.  However, we are not aware of
any current pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact
on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.



Guarantees



From time to time we
enter into certain types of contracts that contingently require us to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties.  These
contracts primarily relate to (i) certain real estate leases, under which we may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental
and other liabilities, and other claims arising from our use of the applicable premises, (ii) certain agreements with our
officers, directors, and employees, under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their
employment relationship, (iii) contracts under which we may be required to indemnify customers against third-party claims that
our product infringes a patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and (iv) procurement or license agreements, under
which we may be required to indemnify licensors or vendors for certain claims that may be brought against them arising from our
acts or omissions with respect to the supplied products or technology.



Generally, a maximum
obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated.  Because the obligated amounts associated with these types
of agreements are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically,
we have not been required to make payments under these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations
on our balance sheets.

NOTE 10 – OUT OF DATE PRODUCT



In January 2015, we
were notified by a large national retailer that inventory of Paper Boy product on their shelves had partially oxidized. Our terms
of sale provide for limited return rights only in circumstances where products are not merchantable due to quality deficiencies.
We determined that Paper Boy’s shelf life met quality specifications for the product, which are consistent with other similar
products in the market, and, therefore, we did not have contractual obligation to accept returns of, or to replace, the product.
However, on a one time basis we agreed to work with the retailer to remove the expired product.



We contacted our distributors
throughout the country to remind them of the finite shelf life of Paper Boy and to instruct them to dispose of any out-of-date
product so that consumers were not sold expired product. While we believe we have no contractual liability for costs associated
with the destruction of the out-of-date inventory, we anticipate providing limited financial support to certain of our largest
distributors. Finally, we have reviewed our inventory and have written off the expired Paper Boy finished goods inventory in our
warehouse in the amount of $0.2 million to cost of sales.



Consistent with ASC-450,
“Contingencies”, which outlines accounting and disclosure requirements for loss and gain contingencies, we established
an accrual for the estimated probable loss associated with our role in dealing with the out-of-date product, net of recoveries.
The amounts recorded on our consolidated statement of operations is set forth below:





|                          |  | For the year ended |    
|------------------------- |  | ------------------ | ---
|                          |  | June 30, 2015      |    
|                          |  | (in thousands)     |    
|Reduction in sales        |  | $                  | 582
|Increase in cost of sales |  |                    | 209
|                          |  | $                  | 791



The reduction to net sales is the estimated return credit we anticipate providing associated with clearing affected product
from retailer and distributor inventories. The increase in cost of sales consists of the write off of unsold inventory of
the expired product from our finished goods inventories. We have recorded a provision based on our best estimate of loss within
a range. The high end of the range was $0.2 million, higher than the amount accrued.



Since December 31,
2014, we have processed return credits of approximately $0.06 against the accrual for sales returns leaving an outstanding balance
of $0.5 as of June 30, 2015.



NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’

Stockholders' Equity Structure



As of June 30, 2015,
we have 15.0 million authorized shares of Class A common stock, of which 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock were issued
and outstanding. No preferred stock has been issued.



In connection with
the IPO, one share of Class B common stock of Truett-Hurst, Inc. was distributed to each LLC holder of LLC Units, each of which
provides its owner with no economic rights but entitles the holder, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock
held by such holder, to one vote on matters presented to stockholders of Truett-Hurst, Inc. for each LLC Unit held by such holder.
As of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, there were 8 and 9 shares respectively of Class B common stock issued, outstanding and held
by LLC members.

Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to us, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including convertible
LLC units and restricted stock.  The assumed exchange of 3.0 million LLC units for Class A common stock and the vesting of
0.6 million equity incentive shares are expected to have an anti-dilutive effect.  Accordingly, the effect of exchanging LLC
units and restricted stock have been excluded from net income available to Class A common stock per share.



The shares of Class
B common stock do not share in our earnings and therefore are not participating securities.  Accordingly, basic and diluted
net income per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and dividend equivalent rights
to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.

Share Reserve



Since inception, 1.0
million shares have been reserved under The 2012 Plan and 0.6 million shares have been granted leaving 0.4 million shares available
for grant. The 2012 Plan provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance thereunder on the first business
day of each fiscal year, beginning with our fiscal year following the year of the IPO, equal to the lesser of one percent (1%)
of the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding as of such date or 14,000 shares.



Stock Options



The 2012 Plan allows
for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Code only to our employees and employees of
any parent or subsidiary. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to our employees, directors, and consultants and those of
any parent or subsidiary. The exercise price of all options granted under the 2012 Plan must at least be equal to the fair market
value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten (10) years,
except that with respect to any employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding
stock or any parent or subsidiary as of the grant date, the term must not exceed five (5) years, and the exercise price must
equal at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value on the grant date.



After the continuous
service of an employee, director or consultant terminates, he or she may exercise his or her option, to the extent vested, for
the period of time specified in the option agreement. However, an option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its
term.



On June 25, 2014, we
granted stock options to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vests over four years and had a fair value
at date of grant of $0.4 million. We follow the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”),
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee
directors, and consultants, including employee stock options.



On April 8, 2015,
we granted 0.07 million shares of stock options to an officer of H.D.D. LLC which vests over 4 years and has a fair value at date
of grant of $0.1 million. We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes
valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based
upon the simplified method, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four
years for an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life.
Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend
yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash
dividends in the future. The fair value of the stock option is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the
four-year vesting period. The fair value of the stock option is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over
the four-year vesting period. As of June 30, 2015, we recognized $0.005 million in cumulative expense and had $0.1 million of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.77 years.



We account for our
employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option
expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method provided for
under ASC 718-10, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for
an average of six years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility
reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield
assumption of zero is based upon the fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends
in the future. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period.

Stock Appreciation Rights



The 2012 Plan allows
for the grant of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). SARs allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair
market value of our Class A Common Stock between the date of grant and the exercise date.  The administrator will determine
the terms of SARs, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay the increased appreciation in cash or with
shares of our Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, except that the base appreciation amount for the cash or shares to
be issued pursuant to the exercise of a SARs will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per share
on the date of grant. After the continuous service of an employee, director or consultant terminates, he or she may exercise his
or her stock appreciation right, to the extent vested, only to the extent provided in the SARs agreement.



As of June 30, 2015
and June 30, 2014, there were no SARs issued or outstanding under the 2012 Plan.



Restricted Stock Awards



The 2012 Plan allows
for the grant of restricted stock.  Restricted stock awards are shares of our Class A Common Stock that vest in accordance
with terms and conditions established by the administrator.  The administrator will determine the number of shares of
restricted stock granted to any employee, director or consultant.  The administrator may impose whatever conditions on
vesting it determines to be appropriate.  For example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement
of specific performance goals.  Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to our right of repurchase
or forfeiture.

On February 4, 2013,
we granted 0.2 million shares of restricted stock to an independent contractor who serves as our Creative Director. The award vests
over three years, and had a fair value at the date of grant of $0.9 million for a 5% interest in the LLC. We record the fair value
and recognize the associated expense per FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50,Equity - Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees
which defines the measurement date as the earlier of the date at which the commitment for performance is reached, or the date at
which the performance is complete. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards, to non-employees, is recognized as compensation
cost, on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, and subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying
equity instruments vest. As of June 30, 2015, the stock was valued at $0.8 million. We recognized $0.7 million in cumulative expense
for FY15 and $0.5 million in cumulative expense for FY14. At June 30, 2015, there was $0.05 million of unrecognized stock compensation
expense, related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
0.60 years.



On December 9, 2013,
we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vests over three years and has a fair
value at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the
Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting
period. As of December 31, 2014, we reduced the vesting term to two years to match the director’s term. We recognized $0.02
million in cumulative expense for FY15 and $0.01 in cumulative expense for FY14. At June 30, 2015, we had $0.01 million of unrecognized
stock compensation expense related to the non-vested restricted stock award that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
period of approximately 0.44 years.



On June 25, 2014,
we granted 0.2 million stock options, with the right to purchase Company Class A common shares, to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief
Operations Officer. The stock options vest over four years and had a fair value at date of grant of $0.4 million. We account for
our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option
expense at the date of grant. The expected life assumptions for employee grants are based upon the simplified method, which averages
the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of four years for an average of six years. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price
over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the
fact we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The fair value of
the stock option is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the four-year vesting period. In FY15, we recognized
$0.1 million in cumulative expense and no expense for FY14. At June 30, 2015, we had $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.



On June 25, 2014, we granted 0.1 million shares of restricted
stock units to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer which vest over four years and had a fair value at date of
grant of $0.4 million. The grant date fair value of RSU awards is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over
the four-year vesting period. In FY15, we recognized $0.1 million in cumulative expense and no expense in FY14. At June 30, 2015,
we had $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
period of approximately 3 years.



On November
20, 2014, during our annual stockholders meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment to our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (“2012
Plan”), to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan by 0.7 million
shares or from 0.3 million shares to 1.0 million shares.



On December 15, 2014,
we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vested immediately upon grant and
had a fair value at date of grant of $0.05 million and recognized expense as of December 31, 2014. The fair value of restricted
stock was measured on grant date using the Company’s common stock price on grant date.



On December 15, 2014,
we granted 0.01 million shares of restricted stock to certain directors of our company which vests over one year and has a fair
value at date of grant of $0.05 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the
Company’s common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the one-
year vesting period. As of June 30, 2015, we recognized $0.03 million in cumulative expense and had $0.02 million of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.5 years.



On December 15, 2014,
we granted 0.008 million shares of restricted stock to a director of our company which vests over three years and has a fair value
at date of grant of $0.03 million. The fair value of restricted stock, measured on the date of grant using the price of the Company’s
common stock on grant date, is recognized as compensation cost, on a straight-line basis over the three- year vesting period.
As of June 30, 2015, we recognized $0.005 of cumulative expense and had $0.02 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.46 years.



Stock-based compensation

Restricted Stock Units



The 2012 Plan allows
for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSUs are awards that will result in payment to a recipient at the
end of a specified period only if the vesting criteria established by the administrator are achieved or the award otherwise vests.
The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting, restrictions and conditions to payment it determines to be appropriate.
The administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or on the continuation of service
or employment. Payments of earned RSUs may be made, in the administrator’s discretion, in cash, with shares of our Class
A Common Stock or other securities, or a combination thereof.

We utilize ASC 740
– Income Taxes, ordering for purposes of determining when excess tax benefits have been realized. We have elected the “with-and-without”
approach regarding ordering of windfall tax benefits to determine whether the windfall tax benefit did reduce taxes payable in
the current year. Under this approach, the windfall tax benefits would be recognized in additional paid-in capital only if an incremental
tax benefit is realized after considering all other tax benefits presently available to us. There were no amounts recognized in
FY15.



NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS



Fair value is defined
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, otherwise known as the “exit price,”
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the fair value hierarchy as a basis for our
assumptions. The hierarchy of inputs used for measuring fair value are as follows: Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted
prices in active markets; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly
or indirectly in active markets; Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and as a result,
management assumptions are developed.



Our
carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt balances approximates its fair
value.



In
October 2012, we executed an interest rate swap obligation that was measured using observable inputs such as the LIBOR and Ten-year
Treasury interest rates, and therefore has been categorized as Level 2. This derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument
and has been recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets.  Changes in the fair value of this instrument
have been recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).  Fair values as of FY15
and FY14 are as follows:

NOTE 15 – TAXES



Prior to June 26, 2013,
we had not been subject to U.S. federal income taxes and most applicable state and local income taxes as the entity was an LLC.
The LLC is treated as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The members separately
account for their pro-rata share of income, deductions, losses, and credits. Therefore, no provision is made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for liabilities for federal, state, or local income taxes since such liabilities are the responsibility
of the individual members. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject
to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011.



We generally make distributions
to our members, per the terms of our limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes. We are subject to entity level
taxation in certain states. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations prior to June 26, 2013 include
tax expense related to those state jurisdictions. Subsequent to June 26, 2013, we became subject to U.S. federal and state income
taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of H.D.D. LLC and will be taxed at the prevailing corporate tax
rates.



All of our income before taxes is recognized
domestically. Income tax expense (benefit) for FY15 and FY14 consists of:

In FY14, we recorded
a valuation allowance of $3.0 million after assessing all the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient
future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. In FY15, a valuation allowance continues to
be recorded on the net deferred tax assets in the amount of $6.7 million.



We are subject to California
franchise tax each year for each entity. Truett-Hurst, Inc. files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and the state jurisdiction
of California. The Company has gross federal and state net operating losses of $2.6 million respectively. Both jurisdictions have
expiration dates beginning in 2034 and have a full valuation allowance recorded against them.



For Truett-Hurst, Inc.,
U.S. federal and state tax returns associated with fiscal year ended 2013 and 2014 are currently open to examination. U.S. federal
and state tax returns for H.D.D. LLC associated with calendars years ended 2011-2014 are currently open to examination. There are
no material uncertain tax positions and we expect no major changes in next twelve months.



NOTE 16 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
INFORMATION, SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION



In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment
Reporting, our chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the CEO, who reviews sales, cost of sales, and gross profit
to make decisions about allocating our resources and assessing our performance. Operating and other expenses are not allocated
between operating segments; therefore, operating and net income information for the respective segments is not available. In addition,
discreet financial information related to segment specific assets is not available. Our primary reporting segments are identified
by each distribution channel: wholesale, direct to consumer and internet.  Wholesale sales include our retail exclusive
brand label model and four fully-owned brands through the three-tier distribution system.  Direct to consumer sales of
our own brands occur through our tasting rooms and wine clubs.  Internet sales occur through Wine Spies and are principally
comprised of brands not owned by us.  Sales and cost of sales are reported by segment.



Net Sales



The following table
reflects net sales, cost of sales and gross margin by segment for each of our FY15 and FY14 periods, respectively:

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



We have evaluated all
subsequent event activity through the issue date of these consolidated financial statements and concluded that no additional subsequent
events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.



F-30







Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements
with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure



None.



Item 9A. Controls and Procedures



Evaluation of Disclosure Control and
Procedures



The Company carried
out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.



Management's Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting



Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
We conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control processes over financial reporting and concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2015.



We intend to regularly
review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting on an ongoing basis and to improve these controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may
discover in the future. While we believe the present design of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting are effective, future events affecting our business may cause us to modify our controls and procedures.



This Form 10-K does
not include an attestation report of our independent registered certified public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered certified public accounting
firm pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules of the SEC promulgated thereunder, which permit the
Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.



Inherent Limitations of Controls



Management does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, can be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override
of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud
may occur and not be detected.
