Current report
The legal and regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is rapidly evolving and uncertain, including areas such as consumer protection, intellectual property, cybersecurity, and privacy and data protection. In addition, there is uncertainty around the validity and enforceability of intellectual property rights related to the use, development, and deployment of AI systems, including issues arising from both the inputs they rely on and the outputs they generate. Compliance with new and emerging laws, regulations or industry standards relating to AI in the U.S. and internationally, such as U.S. state regulations and the Artificial Intelligence Act in the EU, may impose significant operational costs and limit or restrict our ability to develop, deploy or use existing or future AI technologies. As a result, our ability to adapt our existing products and services or develop future and new products and services using AI may be limited or restricted, which could adversely impact our business.

Current report
If we or our third-party providers fail to protect confidential information and/or experience cybersecurity incidents, there may be damage to our brand and reputation, material financial penalties, and legal liability, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current report
We rely on computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure and online sites and networks for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business (collectively, "IT Systems"). We rely on third parties for a range of IT Systems and related products and services, including but not limited to cloud computing services. We and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including information about individuals and their financial assets (such as 0G), as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (collectively, "Confidential Information").
Current report
We face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our IT Systems and Confidential Information, including from diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as through diverse attack vectors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error, and as a result of malicious code embedded in open-source software, or misconfigurations, bugs or other vulnerabilities in commercial software that is integrated into our (or our suppliers' or service providers') IT Systems, products or services. As knowledge and techniques in cryptography continue to advance, threat actors may exploit these advancements to develop more sophisticated and effective attack methods, increasing the frequency and severity of cyberattacks as well. Because we make extensive use of third party suppliers, service providers, and partners (including our partnerships with crypto wallet providers and financial institutions), successful cyberattacks that disrupt or result in unauthorized access to third party IT Systems can materially impact our operations and financial results.
Current report
Moreover, we may acquire companies with cybersecurity vulnerabilities and/or unsophisticated security measures, which exposes us to significant cybersecurity, operational, and financial risks. Our remote and hybrid working arrangements (and at our third-party providers) also increase cybersecurity risks due to the challenges associated with managing remote computing assets and security vulnerabilities that are present in many non-corporate and home networks. Additionally, any integration of AI in our or any service providers' operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges. Because our products and services are integrated with our customers' systems and processes, any circumvention or failure of our cybersecurity defenses or measures could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers' own IT Systems and/or Confidential Information as well. Moreover, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, result in the unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, processing, or other compromise of personal information or Confidential Information, or jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations, whether due to a loss of our trade secrets or other similar disruptions.
Current report
Some of the federal, state, and foreign government requirements include obligations of companies to notify individuals of certain cybersecurity breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by us or by our vendors, contractors, or organizations with which we have formed strategic relationships. Even though we may have contractual protections with such vendors, contractors, or other organizations, notifications and follow-up actions related to a cybersecurity breach could impact our reputation, cause us to incur significant costs, including legal expenses, harm customer confidence, hurt our expansion into new markets, cause us to incur remediation costs, or cause us to lose existing customers.
Current report
Further, the cryptocurrency industry is a frequent target for cyberattacks, including hacks of exchanges and wallets. The underlying technology of cryptocurrencies, including blockchain, is complex and still developing, which means technical issues, bugs, or vulnerabilities could impact our operations and the security of user funds. Additionally, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other financial institutions or crypto companies, whether or not we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in the cryptoeconomy or in the use of technology to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us, including the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and technology infrastructure.
Current report
Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools - including AI - that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, we may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our IT Systems, Confidential Information or business. There can also be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our IT Systems and Confidential Information. Furthermore, given the nature of complex systems, software and services like ours, and the scanning tools that we deploy across our networks and products, we regularly identify and track security vulnerabilities. We are unable to comprehensively apply patches or confirm that measures are in place to mitigate all such vulnerabilities, or that patches will be applied before vulnerabilities are exploited by a threat actor. In other situations, vulnerabilities persist even after we have issued security patches because our customers may fail to apply patches or update their systems to newer software versions. If attackers are able to exploit critical vulnerabilities before patches are installed or mitigating measures are implemented, significant compromises could impact our and our customers' IT Systems and/or Confidential Information.
Current report
We and certain of our third-party providers regularly experience cyberattacks and other incidents, and we expect such attacks and incidents to continue in varying degrees. While to date no incidents have had a material impact on our operations or financial results, we cannot guarantee that material incidents will not occur in the future. Any adverse impact to the availability, integrity or confidentiality of our IT Systems or Confidential Information can result in legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, fines and penalties, negative reputational impacts that cause us to lose existing or future customers, and/or significant incident response, system restoration or remediation and future compliance costs. Any or all of the foregoing could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Finally, we cannot guarantee that any costs and liabilities incurred in relation to an attack or incident will be covered by our existing insurance policies or that applicable insurance will be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.
Current report
As 0G Tokens and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of 0G Tokens. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of 0G Tokens or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer 0G Tokens.
Current report
If 0G Tokens are determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of 0G Tokens and in turn adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. Moreover, the risks of us engaging in a 0G Tokens treasury strategy have created, and could continue to create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
Current report
There are risks relating to the sale of our legacy hemp and cannabis business.
Current report
On September 20, 2025, we entered into the Cannabis Sale Agreement to sell certain subsidiaries comprising our legacy hemp and cannabis business to our Noteholders, in exchange for the repayment of the Equity Transfer Notes held by such Noteholders. This disposition closed on September 26, 2025. While we have agreed to only limited indemnification and other obligations in connection with the disposition, there can be no assurance that we will not be subjected to indemnification claims or other liabilities in connection with the disposition.
Current report
Further, achieving the anticipated benefits of the disposition is subject to a number of uncertainties. There can be no assurance that we will realize the full benefits of strategic focus, cost savings and operating efficiencies that we currently expect from the transaction or that such benefits will be achieved within the anticipated time frames. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs and diversion of management's time and energy and could materially adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Current report
The disposition may be subject to regulatory actions or private litigation that could expose us to costly and time-consuming proceedings. Failure to prevail in any such regulatory actions or private litigation could result in significant fines or monetary damages, which may require us to raise additional capital.
Current report
We may experience difficulties due to changes in management.
Current report
In connection with the Cryptocurrency Offering, on October 1, 2025, Mr. Clifford Starke resigned as a director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Sammy Dorf resigned as the Executive Chairman. Further, on October 1, 2025, the Board appointed Mr. Daniel Reis-Faria and Michael Heinrich as non-independent directors of the Board, and in connection with their appointments to the Board, Mr. Reis-Faria was also appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Heinrich was also appointed as Executive Chairman effective October 1, 2025. Neither new executive officer has previously served as an executive officer of a publicly traded company. In addition to devoting substantial time becoming integrated into our business and increasing their familiarity with our operations, each new executive officer may be required to devote substantial time fulfilling their public company compliance obligations. Such changes in our management could impair relationships with key business contacts, make it more difficult to retain employees or result in the loss of confidence in our investor base, any of which events could harm our performance. There can be no assurance that our reconstituted management will function effectively.
Current report
Our executive officers and directors hold or may have served certain management positions and directorships of other companies, including related parties, which may result in potential conflicts of interest and divert their time and attention from our business. This could have a negative impact on our ability to implement our plan of operation.
Current report
Our executive officers and directors currently serve, have previously held or may, from time to time, serve in positions as officers or directors of other companies, for which they may be entitled to substantial compensation, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and their other businesses. For example, Michael Heinrich, the Executive Chairman and a member of our Board, is the Chief Executive Officer of Zero Gravity. The 0G Token which we own is the native cryptocurrency of 0G Labs.
Current report
The existing external commitments and any future commitments of our executive officers and directors to other companies may potentially divert their significant time and attention away from the strategic and operational needs of our company. Their divided focus could lead to delays in decision-making, hinder effective communication within our Company, give rise to potential conflicts of interest, and introduce a divergence in priorities, consequently impacting the overall efficacy of leadership. Additionally, the potential for conflicting interests arising from commitments to multiple entities may pose challenges in aligning the officer's priorities with the long-term goals and interests of our company, thereby introducing an element of uncertainty and potential disruption to our operations.

RISKS RELATED TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND INVESTING IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
Current report
0G is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of 0G may influence our financial results and the market price of our listed securities.
Current report
Our financial results and the market price of our listed securities would be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of 0G decreased substantially, including as a result of:
Current report
investment and trading activities such as (i) activities of highly active retail and institutional users, speculators and investors or (ii) actual or expected significant dispositions of 0G by large holders, including the expected liquidation of digital assets seized by governments or associated with entities that have filed for bankruptcy protection, or associated with tokens vested by the Zero Gravity core team;
Current report
a decrease in the price of other digital assets, to the extent the decrease in the price of such other digital assets may cause a decrease in the price of 0G or adversely affect investor confidence in digital assets generally;
Current report
changes in consumer preferences and the perceived value or prospects of 0G or the utility of Zero Gravity;
Current report
negative publicity, media or social media coverage, or sentiment due to events in or relating to, or perception of, 0G, Zero Gravity or the broader digital assets industry;
Current report
competition from other decentralized exchanges or digital assets that exhibit comparable or better speed, security, scalability or energy efficiency, or that feature other more favored characteristics that are backed by governments, including the U.S. government, or reserves of fiat currencies, or that represent ownership or security interests in physical assets;
Current report
developments relating to the Zero Gravity blockchain ("0G Blockchain"), including (i) changes to the 0G Blockchain that impact its security, speed, scalability, usability or value, such as changes to the cryptographic security protocol underpinning the 0G Blockchain, changes to the maximum number of 0G Tokens outstanding, changes to the mutability of transactions, changes relating to the size of blockchain blocks, and similar changes; (ii) failures to make upgrades to the 0G Blockchain and the 0G interface to adapt to security, technological, legal or other challenges; and (iii) changes to the 0G Blockchain that introduce software bugs, security risks or other elements that adversely affect 0G;

Current report
regulatory, legislative, enforcement and judicial actions that adversely affect access to, functionality of or performance of Zero Gravity or associated products such as cryptocurrency perpetual futures, the price, ownership, transferability, trading volumes, legality or public perception of, 0G, Zero Gravity or other similar blockchains, or that adversely affect the operations of or otherwise prevent digital asset custodians, trading venues, lending platforms or other digital assets industry participants from (i) accessing 0G or Zero Gravity or associated products or (ii) operating in a manner that allows them to continue to deliver services to the digital assets industry;
Current report
transaction congestion and fees associated with processing transactions on the Zero Gravity network;
Current report
Moreover, the price of our listed securities has been and is likely to continue to be volatile, and with the adoption of our new cryptocurrency treasury strategy, we expect to see additional volatility in our stock price. In addition, if investors view the value of our listed securities as dependent upon or linked to the value or change in the value of our 0G holdings, the price of 0G may significantly influence the market price of our listed securities. The price of 0G has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile.

Previous report
Cannabis laws, regulations, and guidelines are dynamic and subject to changes.
Previous report
Cannabis laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to evolving interpretations which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. It is also possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain of our products and/or aspects of our businesses. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Management expects that the legislative and regulatory environment in the cannabis industry internationally will continue to be dynamic and will require innovative solutions to try to comply with this changing legal landscape in this nascent industry for the foreseeable future. Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
Public opinion can also exert a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry. A negative shift in the public's perception of the cannabis industry could affect future legislation or regulation in different jurisdictions.
Previous report
Demand for cannabis and derivative products could be adversely affected and significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings.
Previous report
The legal cannabis industry is at a relatively early stage of its development. Consumer perceptions regarding legality, morality, consumption, safety, efficacy and quality of medicinal cannabis are mixed and evolving and can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medicinal cannabis products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the medicinal cannabis market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity, could have a material adverse effect on the demand for medicinal cannabis and on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding cannabis in general or associating the consumption of medicinal cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Public opinion and support for medicinal cannabis use has traditionally been inconsistent and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our ability to gain and increase market acceptance of our business may require substantial expenditures on investor relations, strategic relationships and marketing initiatives. There can be no assurance that such initiatives will be successful and their failure to materialize into significant demand may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
Previous report
Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, use and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in early stages.
Previous report
There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC). Although the Company believes that the articles, reports and studies support its beliefs regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, future research and clinical trials may prove such statements to be incorrect, or could raise concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on such articles and reports. Future research studies and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to those stated herein or reach negative conclusions related to medical cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company's products, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or prospects.
Previous report
Our growth depends, in part, on expanding into additional consumer markets, and we may not be successful in doing so.
Previous report
We believe that our future growth depends not only on continuing to provide our current customers with new products, but also continuing to enlarge our customer base. The growth of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to expand in the United States, as well as into international markets. We are investing significant resources in these areas, and although we hope that our products will gain popularity, we may face challenges that are different from those we currently encounter, including competitive merchandising, distribution, hiring, and other difficulties. We may also encounter difficulties in attracting customers due to a lack of consumer familiarity with or acceptance of our brand, or a resistance to paying for premium products, particularly in international markets. In addition, although we are investing in sales and marketing activities to further penetrate newer regions, including expansion of our dedicated sales force, we may not be successful. If we are not successful, our business and results of operations may be harmed.
Previous report
Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor, and transportation could cause manufacturing delays or increase our costs.
Previous report
The price and availability of key components used to manufacture our products has been increasing and may continue to fluctuate significantly. In addition, the cost of labor within our company or at our third-party manufacturers could increase significantly due to regulation or inflationary pressures. Additionally, the cost of logistics and transportation fluctuates in large part due to the price of oil, and availability can be limited due to political and economic issues. Any fluctuations in the cost and availability of any of our raw materials, packaging, or other sourcing or transportation costs could harm our gross margins and our ability to meet customer demand. If we are unable to successfully mitigate a significant portion of these product cost increases or fluctuations, our results of operations could be harmed.
Previous report
We rely on third-parties for raw materials and to manufacture and compound some of our products. We have no control over these third parties and if these relationships are disrupted our results of operations in future periods will be adversely impacted.
Previous report
We currently hold short term supply contracts with unaffiliated third-party vendors for our critical raw materials. In addition, some of our products are manufactured or compounded by unaffiliated third parties and the use of these third-party co-packers changes from time to time due to customer demand and the composition of our product mix and product portfolio. We do not have any long-term contracts with any of these third parties, and we expect to compete with other companies for raw materials, production and imported packaging material capacity. If we experience significant increased demand or need to replace an existing raw material supplier or third-party manufacturer, there can be no assurances that replacements for these third-party vendors will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any manufacturer or compounder would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to engage third parties. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in raw materials and/or the manufacturing or compounding of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower revenues and net income both in the short and long-term.
Previous report
The seasonal trends in our business create variability in our financial and operating results.
Previous report
Our financial and operating results are subject to seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenue and operating income and, as a result, our quarterly results may fluctuate and could be below expectations. Our business has realized a disproportionate amount of our net revenue and earnings for prior fiscal years in the third and fourth quarter as a result of the holiday season, and we expect this seasonal impact on our operations to continue in the future. If we experience lower than expected net revenue during any third or fourth quarter, it may have disproportionately large effects on our operating results and financial condition for that year. Any factors that harm our third or fourth quarter operating results, including disruptions in our brands or our supply chains or unfavorable economic conditions, could have a disproportionate effect on our results of operations and our financial condition for our entire fiscal year.
Previous report
The cannabinoid industry faces strong opposition and may face similar opposition in other jurisdictions in which we operate.
Previous report
Many political and social organizations oppose hemp and cannabis and their legalization, and many people, even those who support legalization, oppose the sale of hemp and cannabis in their geographies. Our business will need support from local governments, industry participants, consumers and residents to be successful. Additionally, there are large, well-funded businesses that may have a strong opposition to the cannabis industry. For example, the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries have traditionally opposed cannabis legalization. Any efforts by these or other industries to halt or impede the cannabis industry could have detrimental effects on our business.
Previous report
The Company could face competitive risks from the development and distribution of synthetic cannabis.
Previous report
The pharmaceutical industry and others may attempt to enter the cannabis industry and, in particular, the medical cannabis industry through the development and distribution of synthetic products that emulate the effects of and treatment provided by naturally occurring cannabis. If synthetic cannabis products are widely adopted, the widespread popularity of such synthetic cannabis products could change the demand, volume and profitability of the botanical cannabinoid industry. This could adversely affect our ability to secure long-term profitability and success through the sustainable and profitable operation of our business.
Previous report
The legalization of adult-use, recreational cannabis may reduce sales of medical cannabis.
Previous report
Legalization of the sale to adults of recreational, non-medical cannabis in any country may increase competition in the medical cannabis market. We may not be able to achieve our business plan in a highly competitive market where recreational, adult-use cannabis is legal, or the market may experience a drop in the price of cannabis and cannabis products over time, decreasing our profit margins.
Previous report
The Company may be subject to cyber-security and privacy risks that could disrupt its operations and expose the Company to financial losses, contractual losses, liability, reputational damage and additional expense.
Previous report
The Company may be subject to risks related to our information technology systems, including cyber-attacks, malware, ransomware and phishing attacks that could target our intellectual property, trade secrets, financial information, personal information of our employees, customers and patients, including sensitive personal health information. The occurrence of such an attack could disrupt our operations and expose the Company to financial losses, contractual damages, liability under labor and privacy laws, reputational damage and additional expenses. We have implemented security measures to protect our data and information technology systems; however, such measures may not be effective in preventing cyber-attacks. We may be required to allocate additional resources to implement additional preventative measures including significant investments in information technology systems. A serious cyber-security breach could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
The Company may collect and store certain personal information about customers and is responsible for protecting such information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. In addition, theft of data is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such privacy breach or theft could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company were found to be in violation of privacy or security rules or other laws protecting the confidentiality of information, the Company could be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase its liabilities, harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
The Company may incur significant costs to defend its intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
Previous report
The ownership and protection of trademarks, patents, trade secrets and intellectual property rights are significant aspects of the Company's future success. Unauthorized parties may attempt to replicate or otherwise obtain and use the Company's products and technology. Policing the unauthorized use of the Company's current or future trademarks, patents, trade secrets or intellectual property rights could be difficult, expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable, as may be enforcing these rights against unauthorized use by others.
Previous report
In addition, other parties may claim that the Company's products infringe on their proprietary and perhaps patent protected rights. Such claims, regardless of their merit, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, legal fees, injunctions, temporary restraining orders and/or require the payment of damages. As well, the Company may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that the Company has infringed on their lawful rights. Such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. In addition, the Company may not be able to obtain or utilize on terms that are favorable to it, or at all, licenses or other rights with respect to intellectual property that it does not own.
Previous report
Marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and the enforcement of U.S. cannabis laws could change.
Previous report
There are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Marijuana remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. In those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act. The Controlled Substances Act classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, and as such, medical and adult cannabis use is illegal under U.S. federal law. Unless and until the U.S. Congress amends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to marijuana (and the President approves such amendment), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable U.S. federal money laundering legislation. While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis regulatory programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve us of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against us. Since U.S. federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalize its use, enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana is a significant risk and would greatly harm our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a risk to our business and any proceedings brought against us thereunder may materially, adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
Previous report
Our activities are, and will continue to be, subject to evolving regulation by governmental authorities. The legality of the production, cultivation, extraction, distribution, retail sales, transportation and use of cannabis differs among states in the United States. Due to the current regulatory environment in the United States, new risks may emerge; Management may not be able to predict all such risks.
Previous report
Due to the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, cannabis businesses are subject to inconsistent laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to marijuana and seek to prosecute cases involving marijuana businesses that are otherwise compliant with state laws in the future.
Previous report
The uncertainty of U.S. federal enforcement practices going forward and the inconsistency between U.S. federal and state laws and regulations present major risks for the Company.
Previous report
Changes to federal or state laws pertaining to industrial hemp could slow the use of industrial hemp which would materially impact our revenues in future periods.
Previous report
As of the date hereof, most states and the District of Columbia have authorized industrial hemp programs pursuant to the 2018 Farm Bill, or under prior programs authorized under the 2014 Farm Bill or have plans under review by the USDA. Effective January 1, 2022, several states without an approved plan under the Farm Bill, or a plan under review, will default to the USDA Hemp Producer License. Continued development of the industrial hemp industry will be dependent upon new legislative authorization of industrial hemp at the state level, and further amendment or supplementation of legislation at the federal level. Any number of events or occurrences could slow or halt progress all together in this space. While progress within the industrial hemp industry is currently encouraging, growth is not assured. While there appears to be ample public support for favorable legislative action, numerous factors may impact or negatively affect the legislative process(es) within the various states where we have business interests. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of industrial hemp, which could negatively impact the business up to possibly causing us to discontinue operations as a whole. In addition, changes in Federal or state laws could require us to alter the way we conduct our business in order to remain compliant with applicable state laws in ways we are presently unable to foresee. These possible changes, if necessary, could be costly and may adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.
Previous report
Uncertainty caused by potential changes to legal regulations could impact the use of CBD products.
Previous report
There is substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as to the scope of operation of Farm Bill-compliant hemp programs relative to the emerging regulation of cannabinoids. These different opinions include, but are not limited to, the regulation of cannabinoids by the FDA and the extent to which manufacturers of products containing Farm Bill-compliant cultivators and processors may engage in interstate commerce. The uncertainties cannot be resolved without further federal, and perhaps even state-level, legislation, regulation or a definitive judicial interpretation of existing legislation and rules. If these uncertainties continue, they may have an adverse effect upon the introduction of our products in different markets.
Previous report
Any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations could prevent us from being able to carry on our business, and there may be additional costs associated with any such failure.

We acquired 100% equity interests in Just Brands, Franchise Global Health ("FGH"), AV, and TruHC. We have a history of acquisitive activity, and we may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our operations or expand our breadth, enhance our capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Our diversity of product offerings may not be successful. While our growth strategy includes broadening our service and product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing product diversification, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of our planned growth and diversified product offerings, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems. Additionally, the integration of our acquisitions and pursuit of potential future acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In addition, we have limited experience in acquiring other businesses. Specifically, we may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired products, assets or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges.

Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities of our acquisitions. Furthermore, we may be subject to unknown liabilities of the businesses we acquire. In addition, we may become subject to legal proceedings in connection with the businesses of, or resulting from, our acquisitions. For example, we have become party to certain litigation as a result of our acquisition of FGH, which falls under certain indemnification protections obtained in the acquisition. For more information, see Item 3 "Legal Proceedings."

As a distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused bodily harm or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning health risks, possible side effects or interactions with other substances. Product liability claims or regulatory actions against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products.

The Company holds finished goods in inventory and its inventory has a shelf life. Finished goods in the Company's inventory may include cannabis flower, cannabis oil products and cosmeceuticals. The Company's inventory may reach its expiration and not be sold. Although management regularly reviews the quantity and remaining shelf life of inventory on hand, and estimates manufacturing and sales lead times in order to manage its inventory, write-downs of inventory may still be required. Any such write-down of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company may not be able to maintain an effective quality control system. The Company ascribes its early successes, in part, on its commitment to product quality and its effective quality control system. The effectiveness of the Company's quality control system and its ability to obtain or maintain good manufacturing practice ("GMP") certification with respect to its manufacturing, processing and testing facilities depend on a number of factors, including the design of its quality control procedures, training programs, and its ability to ensure that its employees adhere to the Company's policies and procedures. The Company also depends on service providers such as toll manufacturers and contract laboratories to manufacture, process or test its products that are subject to GMP certification requirements.

We expect that regulatory agencies will periodically inspect our and our service providers' facilities to evaluate compliance with applicable GMP requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may subject us or our service providers to possible regulatory enforcement actions.

The pharmaceutical distribution and cannabis industries are margin-based businesses in which gross profits depend on the excess of sales prices over costs. Consequently, profitability is sensitive to fluctuations in wholesale and retail prices caused by changes in supply (which itself depends on other factors such as weather, fuel, equipment and labor costs, shipping costs, economic situation, government regulations and demand), taxes, government programs and policies for the pharmaceutical distribution and cannabis industries (including price controls and wholesale price restrictions that may be imposed by government agencies responsible for the sale of pharmaceuticals and cannabis), and other market conditions, all of which are factors beyond our control. The Company's operating income may be significantly and adversely affected by a decline in the price of pharmaceuticals and cannabis and will be sensitive to changes in the price of cannabis and the overall condition of the cannabis industry, as our profitability is directly related to the price of pharmaceuticals and cannabis. These prices affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Any price decline may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Based on its assessment, management has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million at December 31, 2024, a loss of $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and an accumulated deficit of $158.1 million at December 31, 2024. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital. The Company believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to continue investing in growth, while at the same time meeting its obligations as they become due. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. In an effort to alleviate these conditions, management continues to evaluate various cost reduction, asset sales, and other alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, through obtaining credit from financial institutions or otherwise.
Current wording
In prior periods, management had raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s position changed as a result of the September 22, 2025 Cryptocurrency Offering. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million at December 31, 2025, a loss of $119.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and an accumulated deficit of $277.8 million at December 31, 2025. The Company believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to continue investing in growth, while at the same time meeting its obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that we will continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. A going concern opinion in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm could impair our ability to finance our operations through public or private equity offerings or debt financings, or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. Any additional equity or equity-linked debt financing could be extremely dilutive to our current stockholders. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, and we may be required to terminate or significantly curtail our operations or enter into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain aspects of our product candidates, or potential markets that we would not otherwise relinquish. If we are unable to obtain capital, our business would be jeopardized, and we may not be able to continue operations.

Current wording
The Company may be a "passive foreign investment company" for its current tax year, which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors.
Previous wording
The Company believes it was a PFIC within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code for its most recently completed tax year, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, it believes that it will likely be a PFIC for its current tax year and may be a PFIC in subsequent tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer's holding period of Common Shares, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of the Common Shares or any so-called "excess distribution" received on its Common Shares as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distribution. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the total amount of proceeds realized on the disposition, or the amount of excess distribution received, by the U.S. taxpayer. Subject to certain limitations, these tax consequences may be mitigated if a U.S. taxpayer makes a timely and effective "QEF election" under Code Section 1295 ("QEF Election") or a "mark-to-market" election under Section 1296 of the Code ("Mark-to-Market Election"). U.S. taxpayers should be aware that there can be no assurances that the Company will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a qualified electing fund (a "QEF"), or that the Company will supply U.S. taxpayers with information that such U.S. taxpayers are required to report under the QEF rules, in the event the Company is a PFIC. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their Common Shares. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares over the taxpayer's basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading of "Certain United States Federal Income Taxation Considerations - Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules." Each potential investor who is a U.S. taxpayer should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the PFIC rules and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Common Shares.
Current wording
The Company believes that it was not a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") within the meaning of Section 1297(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for its most recently completed tax year. The Company's anticipated PFIC status for its current tax year and future tax years is uncertain and may depend on, among other things, how quickly the Company may raise cash pursuant to various offerings, the manner in which, and how quickly, the Company utilizes its cash on hand and the cash proceeds received from such offerings, the business conducted by the Company going forward and the assets held by the Company in connection with such business, as well as on changes in the market value of Common Shares. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer's holding period of Common Shares, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of the Common Shares or any so-called "excess distribution" received on its Common Shares as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distribution. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the total amount of proceeds realized on the disposition, or the amount of excess distribution received, by the U.S. taxpayer. Subject to certain limitations, these tax consequences may be altered if a U.S. taxpayer makes a timely and effective "QEF election" under Section 1295 of the Code ("QEF Election") or a "mark-to-market" election under Section 1296 of the Code ("Mark-to-Market Election"). U.S. taxpayers should be aware that there can be no assurances that the Company will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a qualified electing fund (a "QEF"), or that the Company will supply U.S. taxpayers with information that such U.S. taxpayers are required to report under the QEF rules, in the event the Company is a PFIC. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares over the taxpayer's adjusted tax basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Taxation Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”.
Previous wording
The U.S. Congress is currently considering numerous items of legislation which may be enacted prospectively or with retroactive effect, which legislation could adversely impact the Company's financial performance and the value of the Common Shares. Additionally, states in which the Company operates or owns assets may impose new or increased taxes. If enacted, most of the proposals would be effective for the current or later years. The proposed legislation remains subject to change, and its impact on the Company and purchasers of the Common Shares is uncertain.
Current wording
The U.S. Congress is currently considering numerous items of legislation which may be enacted prospectively or with retroactive effect, which legislation could adversely impact the Company's financial performance and the value of the Common Shares. For example, on July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law a new tax bill commonly referred to as “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” which may affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to certain investors in Common Shares. The likelihood of other similar legislation being enacted is uncertain, and the provisions of such bill or other similar legislation may change prior to enactment. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the proposed legislation with respect to their ownership of Common Shares.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq currently or in the future. Nasdaq imposes, among other requirements, continued listing standards including a minimum bid requirement and the requirement that the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company include three independent members as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). If the Company fails to meet any of the applicable continued listing standards of the Nasdaq and we are unable to regain compliance, Nasdaq may make a determination to delist our Common Shares. Any delisting of our Common Shares would likely adversely affect the market liquidity and market price of our Common Shares and our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations or result in the loss of confidence by investors.

General political uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our operating performance and results of operations. In particular, the U.S. continues to experience significant political events that cast uncertainty on global financial and economic markets, especially following the recent presidential election. It is presently unclear exactly what actions the second Trump administration in the U.S. will implement, and if implemented, how these actions may impact the industries in which we operate in the U.S. Any actions taken by the Trump administration, including the many recent executive orders, may have a negative impact on the U.S. economy and on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
