Current report

We are currently experiencing certain manufacturing constraints that are expected to result in temporary out-of-stock situations for some of our key products during the fourth quarter of 2025 and potentially in early 2026. We are working closely to resolve these issues and expect supply to normalize in 2026. While we do not currently anticipate a material long-term impact, these temporary shortages may affect our near-term revenue and customer order fulfillment.

Our net product sales decreased in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter 2024 mostly due to lower sales volume. The total number of units sold during the second quarter 2025 decreased by 7.0% compared to the second quarter 2024. In addition, our average sales price per unit for the second quarter 2025 decreased by 2.8% compared to the same period 2024.

Net product sales decreased in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter 2024 driven by lower sales volume due to out-of-stock issues for some of our key products and restrictive regulation in certain states. The total number of units sold during the third quarter 2025 decreased by 15.8% compared to the third quarter 2024, partially offset by an increase of our average sales price per unit of 1.4% compared to the same period 2024. In addition, our net sales declined due to lower third-party contract manufacturing (“CMO”) revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Previous wording

38.9% of our net revenue for the second quarter 2025 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time, we launched 34 new products. The overall market continues to be fragmented and highly competitive, which we believe is largely due to the lack of a clear regulatory framework and a patchwork of state regulation.

Previous wording

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, packaging, manufacturing overhead (including payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, facilities, depreciation, supplies and quality assurance costs), merchant card fees and shipping. We were able to reduce our cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 by $0.3 million, or 15.2%. The reduction is mostly due to the lower number of units sold in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2025 decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the second quarter of 2024, mostly due lower freight, lower inventory losses and product mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period. Our gross profit in the second quarter 2025 declined slightly by $16,000 from the second quarter of 2024. Our gross margin improved from 47.0% in the second quarter 2024 to 50.9% in the second quarter of 2025.

Our net product sales decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 mostly due to lower sales volume. Our sales volume declined due to the impact of restrictive state regulations and most recently due to out-of-stock issues for some of our key products.

In addition, cost of goods sold in the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, mostly due to lower freight, cost savings and product mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period.

We believe that a combination of factors have adversely impacted our business operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to a low barrier entry market with a lack of a clear regulatory framework, we face intense competition from both licensed and illicit market operators that may also sell herbal supplements and hemp-based CBD consumer products. Because we operate in a market that is rapidly evolving and expanding globally, our customers may choose to obtain CBD products from our competitors, and our success depends on our ability to attract and retain our customers from purchasing CBD products elsewhere. To remain competitive, we intend to continue to innovate new products, build brand awareness, and make significant investments in our business strategy by introducing new products into the markets in which we operate, adopt quality assurance protocols and procedures, build our market presence, and undertake further research and development. In addition, we intend to make additional acquisitions to further diversify our product offerings.

U.S. GAAP requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date and to provide related note disclosure in certain circumstances. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. We generated cash flows from operations of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. However, we generated negative cash flows from operations of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and had an accumulated deficit of $87.4 million as of June 30, 2025. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund our operations and growth initiatives. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets, issuance of debt, and/or securing lines of credit in order to continue its operations. However, there can be no assurances that additional working capital will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, which would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue its operations.

Previous wording

Cash flows provided by operating activities was $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash flows used in operating activities was $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our net loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, adjusted for non-cash items of $0.3 million, resulted in a net loss, adjusted for non-cash items of $0.1 million, compared to a net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $0.8 million in the prior year period, an improvement of $0.7 million. Our non-cash adjustments declined by $0.1 million from $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Non-cash adjustments decreased as we recognized a benefit for the reversal of accrued payroll tax of $0.5 million related to the RSU's previously issued to Mona during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Recurring non-cash adjustments consists of depreciation, amortization, interest expense and stock-based compensation. Changes in working capital generated $0.2 million during the first six months of 2025 and 2024. Our net loss declined by $0.8 million, mostly due to the benefit for the reversal of accrued payroll taxes of $0.5 million. The remaining improvement in our net loss of $0.3 million is mostly due to improved operating performance and reduced SG&A expenses.

Previous wording

There can be no assurance that the Company’s business and corresponding financial performance will not be adversely affected by general economic or consumer trends. In particular, global economic conditions remain constrained, and if such conditions continue, recur or worsen, this may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, inflation has risen and Federal Reserve interest rates remain high after increases during 2023, which may also materially adversely our business and corresponding financial position and cash flows.

Previous wording

There is currently a lack of a clear federal regulatory framework regarding the development, sale and use of CBD products in the United States. As a result, differing state regulations have emerged, which regulations are constantly evolving and differ significantly from state to state in many cases. Several states, including without limitation, California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Utah and Virginia, have recently adopted regulations that may impact our ability to sell certain of our products in these states. In September 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an emergency order into law, effectively banning the sale of hemp products intended for human use that contain detectable amounts of THC or certain other cannabinoids in California, amongst other things. The emergency order was originally in effect through March 25, 2025, and has been extended by one year. We have certain products which fall under this category that we have historically sold in California. It is currently unknown whether the duration of the emergency order will be extended, and/or whether it will be replaced with a permanent law with similar or more stringent prohibitions. This emergency order had a negative impact on our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and we expect that it will continue to have a negative impact on our business going forward for so long as it, or any permanent law with similar or more stringent prohibitions, remains in effect; however, it is currently impossible to quantify the expected impact on our business. There is also substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as 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 cannabinoids may engage in interstate commerce. These uncertainties have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, restrictive state regulations could adversely impact our revenue and earnings going forward.
