Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1– Organization and Nature of Business
Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or the “Company”) is a U.S.-based company that, through a third-party distribution arrangement, participates in the commercialization of freeze-dried candy products. The Company historically operated as a manufacturer of freeze-dried consumer packaged goods, including candy, fruits, vegetables, and snack products.
Formerly Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (a business that participated in the acquisition and development of oil and gas leases and was acquired by the Company on October 1, 2020), the Company transitioned its focus to freeze-dried food products following the acquisition. At the time of the acquisition of Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc., the Company’s common stock began to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG,” from the former trading symbol “ANFC.” Prior to April 2, 2012, Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. was known as Ante5, Inc., a publicly traded company since July 1, 2010. Effective February 15, 2024, Sow Good Inc. reincorporated in the State of Delaware from the State of Nevada pursuant to a plan of conversion. On May 2, 2024, trading of the Company’s common stock commenced on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In May 2021, the Company announced the launch of its first direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) line of non-GMO products, including ready-to-make smoothies, gluten-free granola, and snacks. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company launched a freeze-dried candy product line and subsequently discontinued its smoothie, snack, and granola products. The Company expanded manufacturing capacity during 2023 and 2024 through the construction and installation of multiple freeze-dryers to support anticipated growth in candy production.
During December 2025, the Company completed a strategic shift away from direct manufacturing and product sales and entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which a third-party distributor serves as the exclusive distributor of the Company’s freeze-dried candy products. Under this arrangement, the distributor is responsible for commercialization, sales, marketing, fulfillment, and customer relationships, and the Company earns a contractual percentage of distributor gross receipts. As a result of this strategic shift, the Company no longer operates a manufacturing business and does not directly sell products to customers.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s business consists primarily of earning commission-based revenue from its distribution arrangement related to freeze-dried candy products.
Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”) and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC”). These statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires annual and interim reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company operates as a single segment. For further details on segment reporting, refer to Note 15 – Segment Reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
Environmental Liabilities
The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market accounts which have maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company had cash in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits of$1,189,975 at December 31, 2025. The Company had cash in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits of $1,837,840 at December 31, 2024. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of$0, and $33,549 at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company estimates its reserve based on historical loss information. The Company believes that historical loss information is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at the reporting date because the composition of the trade receivables at the reporting date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages. However, the Company will continue to monitor and adjust the historical loss rates to reflect the effects of current conditions and forecasted changes.
Accounts Receivable - Related Party
Related party receivables are $1,651,471 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2024. These receivables consisted of the $1,500,000 purchase price of the assets of Sow Good under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which was with Trea Grove, a company owned by Ira Goldfarb, and approximately $151,472 in withholding taxes due from Claudia and Ira Goldfarb related to fully vested shares granted as employee compensation.
Other Receivables
Other accounts receivable of $93,198 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, consisted primarily of a tax refund receivable from the State of Delaware for franchise taxes and interest receivable from investments, respectively.
Divestiture
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Trea Grove LLC, an entity controlled by the Goldfarbs, a related party under common ownership (see Note 5 — Related Party Transactions). The Company evaluated the transferred set of assets, processes, and employees under ASC 805-10-55 and determined that the disposition of the manufacturing and omnichannel distribution business constituted a sale of a business. The transaction included the transfer of an assembled workforce, operational processes, manufacturing equipment, and leasehold improvements. In connection with the transaction, Trea Grove LLC also assumed the lease of the Union Bower facility, a facility owned by the Goldfarbs. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a sale of a business and the loss on divestiture was recognized upon closing in accordance with ASC 810-40. The results of operations of the disposed business have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 205-20.
The table below summarizes the components of the transaction and the resulting gain on divestiture recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:
| Cash received | $ | 1,500,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Liabilities assumed by Trea Grove LLC | 635,380 | |
| Less: | ||
| Assets sold: | ||
| Assets held for sale | (713,256) | |
| Construction in process - freeze dryers | (2,768,908) | |
| Freeze dryers, net | (6,744,473) | |
| Leasehold improvements, net | (1,459,067) | |
| Other property plant and equipment, net | (1,778,534) | |
| Accumulated depreciation | 2,670,261 | |
| Net loss on disposition of assets | (8,658,598) | |
| Severance expense | (2,442,500) | |
| Deal costs | (230,742) | |
| Loss on sale of assets | $ | (11,331,840) |
Inventory
On December 30 and December 31, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and a Distribution Agreement, respectively. As a result of these transactions, the Company transitioned from operating as a manufacturer and omnichannel seller of freeze-dried candy to operating as a commission-based distribution agent, earning a fixed percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products. In addition, the Company retained certain SKUs to market independently of the Distribution Agreement.
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company evaluates inventory for potential obsolescence and excess quantities on a periodic basis.
In connection with the exit of its manufacturing and omnichannel distribution business, the Company recorded an impairment and write-off of inventory of $13,737,675 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the impaired inventory related entirely to the former manufacturing and direct-sales business, the impairment expense has been included in loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company retained approximately $22,871 of inventory related to certain SKUs that were not transferred in the Asset Purchase Agreement. This inventory has been recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Based on our Distribution Agreement with the Distributor, the net realizable value for units the Company expects to sell through its Distributor is 10% of the expected selling price of the Distributor.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
| Software | 3 years, or over the life of the agreement |
|---|---|
| Website (years) | 3 |
| Office equipment (years) | 5 |
| Furniture and fixtures (years) | 5 |
| Machinery and equipment (years) | 7 - 10 |
| Leasehold improvements | Lease-term or useful life |
Construction in progress was included as assets sold under the Asset Purchase Agreement with Trea Grove on December 30, 2025. Construction in progress for the year ended December 31, 2024 was stated at cost and no depreciation expense was recorded on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets were completed and put into use.
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Depreciation expense included in continuing operations was $33,101 and $31,644, for thetwelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Depreciation related to the assets used in the manufacture and sale of freeze-dried candy was reclassified to cost of goods sold, and has been included in the loss on discontinued operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Following the sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the entry into a long-term Distribution Agreement effective December 31, 2025, the Company no longer manufactures products or sells goods to customers. Instead, the Company operates as a commission-based distribution agent and earns a fixed percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognizedno revenue from continuing operations, as the Distribution Agreement became effective at year end and no commission revenue was earned during the period. Revenue recognized in prior periods under the Company’s former manufacturing and direct-sales business model has been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented and is not comparable to revenue that may be recognized under the Company’s current commission-based distribution model.
Under ASC 606, the Company has concluded that it acts as an agent in these arrangements because it does not control the underlying products prior to transfer to end customers, does not have primary responsibility for fulfillment, and does not bear inventory or credit risk. Accordingly, for the units of inventory sold under the Distribution Agreement, the Company recognizes revenue on a net basis in an amount equal to the commission to which it is entitled.
The Company’s performance obligation under the Distribution Agreement is to provide ongoing brand support and access to the Sow Good brand to its distribution partner. This performance obligation is satisfied over time. Commission revenue is recognized in the period in which the related underlying product sales occur and the distributor’s gross receipts are generated, as this corresponds to when the Company’s right to consideration becomes fixed and determinable.
The Company does not record revenue related to gross product sales, shipping, or handling activities, that are performed by the Distributor and third-party manufacturers. The Company also does not record provisions for product returns, discounts, or allowances, for items which are sold by our Distributor.
Advertising Costs
Amounts related to the Company’s former manufacturing and direct-sales business model have been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company did not recognize any advertising costs under our commission-based distribution model.
Customer Concentration
Following the sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the transition to a capital light sales through a distributor model, the Company earns revenue mainly from a single distribution partner pursuant to a long-term Distribution Agreement. Trea Grove LLC, a related party, is expected to be the Company’s sole distributor of Sow Good-branded products going forward. The Company may also sell inventory independently from time to time.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognizedno revenue from continuing operations.
Supplier Concentration
Following the sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the transition to a capital light sales through a distributor model, the Company earns revenue mainly from a single distribution partner pursuant to a long-term Distribution Agreement. Trea Grove LLC, a related party, is expected to be the Company’s sole distributor of Sow Good-branded products going forward. The Company may also sell inventory independently from time to time.
Purchases from vendors relate primarily to corporate overhead, professional services, and other administrative costs. Amounts related to the Company’s former manufacturing and direct-sales business model have been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods where potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect and they were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees is measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
All transactions in which the consideration for goods or services is settled in equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The measurement date is the date at which the key terms and conditions of the award is reached.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. When an award is forfeited prior to completion of the requisite service period, any previously recognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of the award is reversed in the period of forfeiture.
The fair value of service-based stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with expected terms ranging from 2.3 to 7.3 years, determined based on either the weighted-average vesting period and contractual term or as calculated under the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities commensurate with the expected term of the awards at the grant date.
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of performance-based and market-based stock options. Stock option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or the implied service period, as applicable. Amortization of options granted to members of the Board of Directors is included in other general and administrative expense. Amortization of options granted to officers and employees is included in salaries and benefits.
Stock-based compensation related to the issuance of shares of common stock to members of the Board of Directors for their services was $280,000 and $295,648 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in other general and administrative expense.
Stock-based compensation related to the issuance of shares of common stock to Officers of the Company for their services was $689,288 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in salaries and benefits.
Stock-based compensation related to the amortization of stock option grants was $1,427,945 and $4,511,657 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $2,762,546 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740 –Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities can periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The ASU’s amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the current year.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the year ended December 31, 2025, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3– Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated retained deficit of$103,083,717 and net losses from continuing operations of $6,823,265 and net losses from discontinued operations of $33,818,241, respectively, for thetwelve months ended December 31, 2025. The Company had$1,474,445 cash on hand and working capital deficit of $2,794,664 at the twelve month period ended twelve months ended December 31, 2025. These conditions, combined with the Company’s history of operating losses, indicate that the Company may not have sufficient funds to sustain operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During December 2025, the Company completed the sale of substantially all manufacturing assets and transitioned to a commission-based, asset-light distribution model under a long-term Distribution Agreement. The transaction generated cash proceeds and significantly reduced the Company’s capital requirements and working capital needs by eliminating manufacturing operations and inventory ownership. While this transition is expected to lower ongoing operating and capital expenditures, the resulting reduction in cash requirements is not expected, by itself, to be sufficient to overcome the Company’s existing liquidity shortfall without additional capital contributions or debt financing.
Management has implemented and continues to evaluate plans intended to improve the Company’s financial position and liquidity. These actions include the sale of manufacturing assets to a related party, ongoing strategic cost reductions and headcount rationalization, finalizing exits for leases associated with unused facilities, which were completed as of January 31, 2026, and pursuing additional capital-raising transactions.
In addition, management is evaluating potential partnership arrangements and capital-raising transactions, including debt and/or equity financings and sales of shares under the Company’s at-the-market equity program. There can be no assurance that these plans will be successfully implemented or will generate sufficient liquidity to allow the Company to continue operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4– Discontinued Operations
On December 30, 2025, the Company sold substantially all of its manufacturing and operating assets to its former Executive Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer and exited its legacy manufacturing and direct-sales business. In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a long-term Distribution Agreement pursuant to which the Company now operates as a commission-based distribution agent and no longer manufactures products, owns significant inventory, or incurs costs related to product sourcing, production, warehousing, or distribution.
The sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the related exit of the legacy business represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of the former manufacturing and direct-sales business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were disposed of or otherwise derecognized as of December 31, 2025, and no assets or liabilities of discontinued operations remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Trea Grove, LLC (“Trea Grove”), an entity owned by Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, pursuant to which Trea Grove was appointed the exclusive distributor of certain Company products, including fruits, snacks, and candy, through July 31, 2026, unless extended. Under the Distribution Agreement, Trea Grove is responsible for customer communications, order management, billing, collections, shipping, logistics, and fulfillment. Trea Grove will remit to the Company ten percent (10%) of gross receipts from product sales. The agreement provides Trea Grove with a limited license to use the Company’s trademarks for distribution and marketing purposes.
Based on the terms of this exclusive Distribution Agreement, the Company has determined that it acts as an agent for purposes of revenue recognition under ASC 606, as the Company does not control the underlying products prior to transfer to end customers, does not have primary responsibility for fulfillment, and does not bear inventory or credit risk. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenues related to the Distribution Agreement with Trea Gove on a net basis equal to the commission to which it is entitled. Subsequently, on March 18, 2026, the Company amended the Distribution Agreement to allow Sow Good to sell inventory independently as long as Trea Grove remained as the sole distributor.
On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with David Lazar pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, shares of Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series AAA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock in two closings for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The first closing occurred on December 31, 2025 for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Mr. Lazar was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in connection with the transaction.

Leases
Prior to the December 30, 2025 sale of the Company's manufacturing business, the Company leased a 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, for which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb, our former Executive Chairman is the landlord. The lease term was through September 15, 2025, with twofive-year options to extend, with a current monthly lease rate of$12,425, with approximately 3% annual escalation of lease payments, however the Company exited the lease concurrently with the asset sale.
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,$0 and$1,241,860 are included in liabilities of discontinued operations on our balance sheets in connection with this lease. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company expensed $146,896 in each of the periods and paid cash of$143,356 and$132,917, respectively.
Note 6– Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which requires the measurement of certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature, and Term Loans issued in connection with detachable warrants, which are carried on the balance sheet net of the unamortized portion of the related discounts. For financial instruments or investments that are required to be reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis under GAAP, the applicable guidance for fair value measurement requires the Company to include the determination of the appropriate fair value hierarchy level for each instrument. The fair value hierarchy levels consist of the following:
| Level 1: | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities - This level represents the highest degree of observability, where fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Inputs Other Than Quoted Prices Included within Level 1 - Fair values in this level are based on inputs other than quoted market prices but are still observable, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs derived from market data. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable Inputs - This level includes fair values for which there are no observable inputs and relies on the reporting entity's own assumptions and estimates. These fair values are considered the least reliable and most subjective. |
Detachable common stock warrants issued in connection with debt may be recorded as either liabilities or equity depending on the applicable accounting guidance. The Company determined that warrants issued in connection with our notes payable met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and qualified for treatment as permanent equity. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at the fair market value determined at issuance date, and are not remeasured after that. We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of warrants granted at issuance date. The initial measurement of the fair value of the notes considers the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of interest at the issuance date, and time to liquidity. The Company allocated the value of warrants between the relative fair value of the notes payable without the warrants, and the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The allocated portion of the warrants was treated as a debt discount, and amortized over the term of the note. The amortization of the debt discount is recognized as interest expense. When a notes payable are issued at a discount, wherein a significant portion of the issuance is between related parties, the valuation of the notes and the discount involve significant judgment and the use of unobservable inputs, classifying it into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, requiring a nonrecurring fair value measurement. Changes other than additions, settlements, or discount amortization, in the fair value of the notes payable, net of discounts do not impact net income or cash flows.
On April 15, 2024, the Company issued 2,186,250 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants that were issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (the “Warrants”), with exercise prices varying from $2.21 to $2.60 (the “Warrant Exercise”). None of the Warrants were amended prior to or in connection with the Warrant Exercise. As a result of the Warrant Exercise Transaction, excluding the impact of deferred debt costs, the Company’s debt was reduced by $5,200,363, accrued interest payable was reduced by $98,750, common equity was increased by $5,299,112 and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,186,250 shares of common stock.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the balances sheet as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

As a result of these transactions, the Company transitioned from operating as a manufacturer and omnichannel seller of freeze-dried candy to operating as a commission-based distribution agent, earning a fixed percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company retained certain SKUs to market independently of the Distribution Agreement.
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company evaluates inventory for potential obsolescence and excess quantities on a periodic basis.
In connection with the exit of its manufacturing and omnichannel distribution business, the Company recorded an impairment and write-off of finished goods and work in process materials of $13,737,675 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the impaired inventory related entirely to the former manufacturing and direct-sales business, the impairment expense has been included in loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company retained approximately $22,871 of inventory related to certain SKUs that were not transferred in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Inventory of $20,313,315 was included in the current assets of discontinued operations on the balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Property and equipment as of December 31, 2025 consists primarily of office equipment and software.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all depreciation expense related to assets of the former manufacturing and direct-sales business has been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations. Depreciation expense related to continuing operations, consisting primarily of office equipment, was $33,101 and $31,644 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in operating expenses. Depreciation related to the disposed assets is included in net gain or loss on discontinued operations. The Company determined that there were impairment indicators present, and tested the remaining assets for impairment as of December 31, 2025 and recorded an impairment of $57,602. This was determined based on the Company's assessment that the expected future cash flows of the assets did not exceed the net book value on an undiscounted basis.

Note 9– Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a finance lease or operating lease at inception and recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. For operating leases, our right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with rent expense recorded to operating expenses. The Company has elected the practical expedient of not separating lease components from nonlease components. The depreciable life of related leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.
The Company previously leased a 20,945 square foot facility under a non-cancelable real property lease agreement with an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb, the Company’s former Executive Chairman. The lease required monthly base rent of $11,296, subject to annual escalations of approximately 3%, and included payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, and other occupancy costs.

The Series AA Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights, except as required by Delaware law and for certain protective provisions requiring the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock.

ISOs may be granted only to our employees, including officers, and the employees of our parent or subsidiaries. All other awards may be granted to our employees, officers, our non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, and affiliates.
On February 12, 2026, the Majority Stockholders approved the Stockholder Consent approving, among other things, an amendment to our 2024 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation reserved for issuance of new grants under the 2024 Plan to 10,000,000 shares, resulting in an aggregate maximum number of 9,959,789 shares available for issuance as of such date.
As of February 23, 2026,2,959,789 shares of Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2024 Plan. The Board believed that additional Shares were necessary to meet the Corporation’s anticipated equity compensation needs.
Following the amendment, the total number of Shares that are available for future awards under the 2024 Plan is equal to 9,959,789, including the 2,959,789 shares that remained available for grants as of February 23, 2026, less shares subject to awards made after February 23, 2026, and subject to adjustment as provided in the 2024 Plan and as described below.

Note 17– Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.
The Company recognized income tax expense of$0 and $0 for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
A reconciliation of the differences between the United States statutory federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate, as provided in the consolidated statements of operations, is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2025:
| Statutory rate | 21.00 | % | 21.00 | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State income taxes, net of federal benefit* | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
| Change in valuation allowance | (20.08) | % | (0.11) | % |
| Nontaxable or nondeductible items | ||||
| Transferable tax credits, net | ||||
| Stock-based compensation | ||||
| Nondeductible items | (0.01) | % | -0.16 | % |
| Change in unrecognized tax benefits | ||||

| Capital loss expiration | ||||
| Deferred true up adjustments | ||||
| Other | (0.91) | % | 0.05 | % |
| Effective rate | 0.00 | % | 20.78 | % |
Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method to reflect temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates and laws. The components of deferred income taxes included in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
| December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 | ||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||
| Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 15,799,998 | 8,835,743 | |

Aportion of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is subject to provisions of the tax law that limit the use of losses incurred by a corporation prior to the date certain ownership changes occur. These limitations also apply to certain depreciation deductions associated with assets on hand at the time of the ownership change and otherwise allowable during the five-year period following the ownership change. As the five-year limitation period lapsed in 2019, these disallowed deductions are reflected in property and equipment in the schedule above but continue to be subject to the annual limitation that applies to the pre-change net operating losses. Due to the limitation on the use of net operating losses and depreciation deductions, a significant portion of these carryforwards will expire regardless of whether the Company generates future taxable income. After reducing these net operating loss carryforwardsfor the amount which will expire due to this limitation, the Company had remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $75,119,367 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0 at December 31, 2025. These net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:
| Tax Years · Federal · State | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026–2030 | $ | - | $ | - |
| 2031–2035 | 22,530,746 | - | ||
| 2036–2040 | 2,940,525 | - | ||
| 2041 and after* | 49,648,096 | - | ||
| Total NOLs | $ | 75,119,367 | $ | - |
*Includes indefinite life federal net operating losses of $49,648,096 generated after 2017.
Approximately $46,162,842 is available to utilize against federal taxable income for 2026.
In assessing whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, a more likely than not standard is applied. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established against the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the associated temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
A valuation allowance was established in the amount of $21,843,804 and $13,698,081 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, based on the Company’s assessment of the future realizability of certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is related to future deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards for which the Company has concluded it is more likely than not that these items will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an increase in valuation allowance of $8,145,723. This was primarily related to net operating losses generated by the Company in the current tax year. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an increase in valuation allowance of $713,972. This was primarily related to additional net operating losses accumulated for the year.
