Current report

Research and development (“R&D”) expense decreased from the first quarter of 2025 due to overall reduced R&D spend associated with new consumer products development expenses.

Current report

Represents the change in fair value of our convertible notes. For more information, please see Note 6, Convertible Notes, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current report

In November 2025, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, a government funding bill that includes provisions affecting hemp-derived products. The legislation provides that, effective November 13, 2026, the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) per container will be prohibited under federal law. Products containing less than this amount may continue to be sold, but such products currently represent a small portion of the overall hemp-derived product market.

Current report

The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this legislation on its product portfolio, supply chain, and future operating results.

Current report

The Company has until November 13, 2026 to assess and, if necessary, modify its product formulations, labeling, and related compliance measures in response to this legislation. While management cannot reasonably estimate the financial effect of this legislation at this time, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Current report

On March 4, 2026, the Company and the Investor entered into an agreement to, among other things, amend and restate its existing promissory notes (collectively, the “Amended Notes”) - refer to Note 5. Debt, pursuant to which the outstanding balance of the Amended Notes maybe converted into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a fixed conversion price of $0.06 per share. The outstanding principal amounts of the Amended Notes were also increased by 20%. After such adjustment, the Amended Notes have an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,256,000. The amendment also provides if, after the sale of the conversion shares received upon a conversion, the Investor receives net proceeds (net of brokerage, legal opinion fees, and transfer agent fees) of less than 100% of the principal amount of the Amended Notes so converted, and the aggregate shortfall under both Amended Notes exceeds $94,000, the Company will issue a new senior secured convertible note on substantially the same terms and conditions of the Amended Notes (each a “Third Note”) with a principal amount equal to the aggregate shortfall in excess of $94,000. Any Third Note so issued will be due April 6, 2027. In addition, any net proceeds received by the Investor in excess of the aggregate principal amount shall be returned to the Company.

Current report

On April 9, 2026, the Company and the Investor entered into an agreement (the “April Amendment”) to amend the Amended Notes to implement a new fixed conversion price equal to $0.03 per share. The April Amendment also extended the maturity date of any Third Note to July 6, 2027. Finally, the April Amendment amended any Third Note to implement a new fixed conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.03 per share and (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the date of the original issuance of the Third Note.

Current report

The Company made an irrevocable election to measure the Amended Notes at fair value as it believes the fair value option provides a greater ability to estimate the outcome of future events as facts and circumstances change, particularly with respect to changes in the fair value of the common stock. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Amended Notes was $1.1 million.

Current report

The fair value of the convertible notes was determined using a probability-weighted scenario analysis, which is considered a Level 3 valuation technique due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The valuation incorporated various potential settlement and repayment scenarios and estimated the probability of each outcome occurring. Significant inputs utilized in the valuation included the estimated discount rate, expected repayment amount and timing, and the estimated remaining term of the convertible notes. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the estimated fair value of the convertible notes.

Current report

The following table summarizes the change in fair value of the Company’s convertible notes recorded as Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Current report

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Investor converted amounts payable under such Amended Notes into an aggregate of 9,194,757 shares of the Company common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $0.06 per share, resulting in a reduction of the Amended Notes balance of $551,685. The Company recorded its estimated true-up obligation associated converted shares during the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $146,000 as accrued expenses, which is included in “Changes in fair value of convertible notes” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Current report

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company issued the Investor two Third Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $256,164, representing the aggregate shortfall of shares sold by the Investor in excess of $94,000. Also, subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Investor converted amounts payable under such Amended Notes into an additional 10,519,108 shares of the Company common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $0.04 per share, resulting in a further reduction of the Amended Notes balance of $431,648.
Removed paragraphs (13)

Previous report

Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that, effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. The Company is assessing the potential implications of this legislation on its operations and product offerings. Depending on future regulatory developments or changes to the legislation, this provision could materially affect the Company's ability to continue selling certain of its existing products.

Previous report

We had net product sales of $10.5 million and gross profit of $5.1 million, representing a gross margin of 48.5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net product sales of $11.8 million and gross profit of $5.5 million, representing a gross margin of 46.5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. 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. The total number of units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 11.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, our average sales price per unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 0.2% compared to the same period in 2024.

Previous wording

We had net product sales of $3.3 million and gross profit of $1.6 million, representing a gross margin of 48.5%, in the third quarter of 2025, compared to net product sales of $3.9 million and gross profit of $1.8 million, representing a gross margin of 46.0%, in the third quarter of 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.

Current wording

We had net product sales of $3.2 million and gross profit of $1.6 million, representing a gross margin of 48.9%, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to net product sales of $3.6 million and gross profit of $1.7 million, representing a gross margin of 46.0%, in the first quarter of 2025. Our net product sales decreased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter 2025 mostly due to lower sales volume. The total number of units sold during the first quarter 2026 decreased by 12.2% compared to the first quarter 2025, partially offset by an increase of our average sales price per unit of 0.9%. In addition, 42.7% of our net revenue for the first quarter 2026 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time, we launched 45 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 third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 by $0.4 million, or 19.6%. The reduction is mostly due to the lower number of units sold in the third quarter of 2025. In addition, cost of goods sold in the third 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 third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period. Our gross profit in the third quarter 2025 declined by $0.2 million, or 11.2% from the third quarter of 2024. Our gross margin improved from 46.0% in the third quarter 2024 to 48.5% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement in our gross margin is primarily due to lower freight, lower inventory losses, and product and channel mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods.

In addition, cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2026 also decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the first quarter of 2025, mostly due to lower product cost and reduced losses. Our gross profit declined to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. However, our gross margin improved from 46.0% in the first quarter 2025 to 48.9% in the first quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

We believe that a combination of factors have adversely impacted our business operations for the nine months ended September 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 negative cash flows from operations of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and had an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million as of September 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.

Net cash used in operating activities includes net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, bad debt expense, stock-based compensation, benefit of reversal of payroll tax liability, interest expense related to our promissory notes, and gain on debt extinguishment. Operating assets and liabilities primarily include balances related to funding of inventory purchases and customer accounts receivable. Operating assets and liabilities that arise from the funding of inventory purchases and customer accounts receivable can fluctuate significantly from day to day and period to period depending on the timing of inventory purchases and customer payment behavior.

Previous wording

Cash flows used in operating activities was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our net loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, adjusted for non-cash items of $0.7 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 $1.0 million in the prior year period, an improvement of $0.9 million. Our non-cash adjustments increased by $0.1 million from $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Non-cash adjustments increased due to higher stock-based compensation and interest expense, partially offset by the benefit for the reversal of accrued payroll tax of $0.5 million related to the RSU's previously issued to Mona during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

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, which may also materially adversely our business and corresponding financial position and cash flows.

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 nine months ended September 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.

Changes in U.S. and foreign governments’ trade policies have resulted in, and may continue to result in, tariffs on imports into and exports from the U.S., among other restrictions. In February 2025, the U.S. administration announced increased tariff on imports from China, where certain components of our finished products are sourced. We are closely monitoring this evolving situation and evaluating our responses, which may include price adjustments or other cost-mitigation measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate the impact of such tariffs or trade restrictions. If further tariffs are imposed, we could be forced to raise prices on all or certain of our products or make changes to our operations, any of which could materially harm our revenue or operating results. Any additional future tariffs or quotas imposed may impact our sales, gross margin and profitability if we are unable to pass increased prices onto our customers. Currently, we cannot fully determine how these tariffs will affect our business operations. The overall impact on our business will be influenced by several variables, including the duration and potential expansion of current tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope, or enforcement, retaliatory measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects and broader macroeconomic responses, changes to consumer purchasing behavior, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges.

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.

In October 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $600,000 (the “New Note”). The New Note carried an original issuance discount of $150,000 and we paid $13,125 to the Investor to cover legal and other fees. The original issuance discount for the New Note and modification fees related to the Note were deducted from the proceeds of the New Note received by the Company which resulted in a purchase price received by us of $300,000.

39.0% of our net revenue for the third quarter 2025 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time, we launched 38 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 report — wording carried elsewhere

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 by $0.9 million, or 14.7%. The reduction is mostly due to the lower number of units sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In addition, cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. Our gross profit declined to $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our gross margin improved from 46.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 48.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The improvement in our gross margin is primarily due to lower freight, product and channel mix, and additional cost savings, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods.
