Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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.
Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Because these financial statements address interim periods, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Reverse Stock Split
On April 17, 2026 the company effected a 1 for 15 stock split. The impact of this split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented unless stated otherwise.
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.
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. Segment disclosures are included in Note 15 – Segment Reporting.
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 $2,068,848 at March 31, 2026. The Company had cash in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits of $1,189,975 at December 31, 2025. 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 credit losses of $12,284 at March 31, 2026 and $0 at December 31, 2025.
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.
Other Receivables
Other accounts receivable was $93,491 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Other accounts receivable consisted primarily of a tax refund receivable from the State of Delaware for franchise taxes.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company retained approximately $4,911 and $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 is stated at cost, which predominately relates to the cost of freeze driers and equipment not yet placed into service. No depreciation expense is recorded on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are 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 $2,500 and $8,584, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 Company’s strategic restructuring completed on December 31, 2025, including the sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the execution of the Distribution Agreement with Trea Grove LLC, the Company transitioned from a manufacturing and direct-sales business model to a commission-based distribution model. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with a five-step model in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Under the Distribution Agreement, Trea Grove LLC serves as a distributor of Sow Good-branded products and is responsible for invoicing customers, fulfillment activities, and collection of customer payments. The Company is entitled to receive a fixed percentage of gross receipts collected by the distributor from customer sales. The Company evaluated the arrangement under ASC 606 and concluded that it acts as an agent because it does not control the products prior to transfer to end customers, does not have primary responsibility for fulfillment, and does not bear primary inventory or customer credit risk. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a net basis in an amount equal to the commission to which the Company expects to be entitled.
The Company’s performance obligation under the Distribution Agreement consists primarily of providing access to the Sow Good brand and related distribution rights. Revenue is recognized when the distributor completes the underlying customer sale and collects payment, as this represents the point at which the Company’s right to consideration becomes fixed and determinable in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement.
The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs rather than as separate performance obligations. Because shipping, fulfillment, product handling, returns processing, and customer pricing adjustments are managed by the distributor, the Company does not separately recognize gross product sales revenue, shipping revenue, or related customer allowances associated with distributor sales activity.
Revenue is reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns, and allowances. Under the current commission-based operating structure, customer returns, promotional programs, discounts, and pricing adjustments are administered by the distributor and do not materially impact the Company’s recognized commission revenue. The Company evaluates the need for reserves related to variable consideration based on known facts and contractual terms at each reporting date.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $18 thousand of commission revenue associated with sales activity under the Distribution Agreement, which is included in discontinued operations. The Company did not recognize revenue from continuing operations under its legacy manufacturing and direct-sales business model, as substantially all such operations were discontinued as of December 31, 2025, and historical results have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Customer Concentration
Following the sale of substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and the transition to a capital-light distribution model, the Company earns revenue primarily from a single related party distribution partner pursuant to the Distribution Agreement entered into on December 31, 2025. Trea Grove LLC, a related party, serves as the primary distributor of Sow Good-branded products and is expected to represent substantially all of the Company’s revenue under the current operating structure. The Company may also sell remaining inventory independently from time to time.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $18 thousand of commission revenue associated with sales activity under the Distribution Agreement. Substantially all historical product sales and related operating activity have been classified within discontinued operations as a result of the Company’s restructuring and disposal of substantially all manufacturing 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 related party distribution partner pursuant to a long-term Distribution Agreement. Trea Grove LLC, a related party, is expected to be the Company’s primary 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. There were no dilutive common shares for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 since the company was in a loss position for both periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred net losses which cannot be diluted; therefore, basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock is the same. Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock is convertible into 0.93 and 16.67 shares of Common Stock, respectively, and are included in the table as if converted. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, shares issuable which could potentially dilute future earnings were as follows:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Series AA Preferred Stock | 1,017,333 | - |
| Series AAA Preferred Stock | 6,289,850 | - |
| Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share | 7,307,183 | - |
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 costs reversed in respect of forfeitures amounted to $134,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of shares of common stock to members of the Board of Directors for their services was $137,500 and $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in other general and administrative expense. Stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of shares of common stock to advisors for their services was $465,100 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is included in other general and administrative expense.
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 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026*,*the Company had an accumulated deficit of $105,573,470 and incurred net losses from continuing operations of $1,930,036 and net losses from discontinued operations of $559,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company had $2,318,848 cash on hand and working capital deficit of $1,390,620 as of March 31, 2026. 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 March 31, 2026, and no assets or liabilities of discontinued operations remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

Balance Sheet
The asset and related liabilities related to the discontinued operations were disposed or derecognized prior to March 31, 2026, therefore the assets and liabilities for the year ended March 31, 2026 represent those of the ongoing operation. The following table represents the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Revenue Reclassification
Revenue recognized in prior periods under the Company’s former manufacturing and direct-sales business model has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented as a result of the Company’s strategic restructuring and disposal of substantially all manufacturing operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $18 thousand of commission revenue associated with sales activity under the Distribution Agreement.
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is $18 thousand, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease reflects the Company’s transition from a direct manufacturing and sales model to a commission-based distribution arrangement following the completion of the restructuring in December 2025.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $18 thousand, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting the cessation of manufacturing activity and the shift to a third-party distribution model.
As a result, the Company recorded a gross loss of $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to gross profit of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change is primarily attributable to the disposal of substantially all manufacturing operations and the resulting transition to an asset-light, commission-based operating structure.
Continuing Involvement
Following the disposition, the Company’s continuing involvement with the former business is limited to our role as an agent who receives commissions from Trea Grove in their role as a Distributor under the Distribution Agreement.
Note 5–Related Party
During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a series of transactions with related parties in connection with a strategic restructuring of its operations and capitalization.
Severance Payment to Related Party
On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and general and mutual release (the “Officer Settlement Agreement”) with Ira Goldfarb, the Company’s former executive chairman. Pursuant to the terms of the Officer Settlement Agreement, Mr. Goldfarb was entitled to receive from the Company a cash settlement payment, upon the Stockholder Meeting, of $1,250,000, less all applicable taxes and withholdings (the “Officer Settlement Payment”), in exchange for waiving his rights to contractual severance pursuant to his employment agreement. Payment of $1,250,000 was made to Mr. Goldfarb on January 5, 2026.
On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and general and mutual release (the “Officer Settlement Agreement”) with Claudia Goldfarb, the Company’s former chief executive officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Officer Settlement Agreement, Mrs. Goldfarb is entitled to receive from the Company a cash settlement payment, upon the Stockholder Meeting, of $1,150,000, less all applicable taxes and withholdings (the “Officer Settlement Payment”), in exchange for waiving her rights to contractual severance pursuant to her employment agreement. Mrs. Goldfarb continued to be employed by the Company as its Chief Operations Officer until March 31, 2026, after which she transitioned to a consulting arrangement.
Asset Sale to Related Party
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Trea Grove, LLC (“Trea Grove”), a related party, pursuant to which the Company sold a significant portion of the assets related to its freeze-dried snacks and candy business, including real property improvements, proprietary and intellectual property rights, transferable governmental licenses and permits, and other specified assets. Trea Grove also assumed certain specified liabilities. Total cash consideration for the transaction was $1,500,000, payable in installments through March 31, 2026, the entire amount was recorded as a related party receivable at December 31, 2025. Subsequently, on January 5, 2026, $900,000 was netted from Mr. Goldfarb’s severance payment of $1,250,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026 the Company received cash payments of $200,000 resulting in a receivable balance of $400,000 as of March 31, 2026.
Distribution Agreement with Related Party
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 primary 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 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.

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 notes payable met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and qualified for treatment as permanent equity. 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. The debt related to the issuance of the detachable warrants was fully retired during the three month period ended June 30, 2025.
On April 28, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Lyle Berman, Claudia Goldfarb and Ira Goldfarb, as holders of the Company’s outstanding promissory notes (the “Outstanding Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, maturing August 23, 2025 at an interest rates of 8%. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, holders exchanged their Outstanding Notes for new senior convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in an amount equal to $2,563,890, the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereunder. In addition, the Company issued Convertible Notes of $239,928 at an interest rate of 6%, for the repayment of the Notes which matured on April 8, 2025. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the election of the holders, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock based on a price per share equal to the average closing price of such common stock for thefive trading days immediately prior to the execution of and entry into the Convertible Notes, with such conversion prices ranging from $0.62 to $0.63. The Convertible Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time uponten days’ notice and at the option the holders for the principal amount thereof plus interest, beginning on January 1, 2026.
On December 31, 2025, a portion of the net proceeds from the preferred stock issuance was used to repay $943,868 of principal and $70,365 in interest outstanding under notes payable to Lyle Berman, a related party. The remaining outstanding balance of approximately $344,838, including accrued quarterly interest, was repaid in full on March 31, 2026.
The Outstanding Notes payable and related discounts on the detachable warrants were exchanged for the Convertible Notes. The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is not bifurcated as a derivative and is therefore not within the scope of ASC 815 and ASC 820.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

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 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and any junior securities with respect to dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and on parity with any series of preferred stock expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock does not bear a stated dividend rate. However, if the Company declares a dividend on its common stock, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis in the same form and manner as holders of common stock.
Subject to receipt of stockholder approvals and the filing of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is initially convertible, at the option of the holder, into 14 shares of common stock, and each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 250 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and similar events.
On May 31, 2026, upon the issuance of the Series AAA Preferred Stock, holders of 1,122,609 shares of the Series AAA Preferred Stock converted their shares into 280,652,250 shares of common stock (or 18,710,150 shares of common stock after giving effect to the 15-to-1 reverse stock split). On the same date, Mr. David Lazar converted 410,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock into 5,740,000 shares of common stock (or 382,666 shares of common stock after giving effect to the 15-to-1 reverse stock split).
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions to holders of common stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of $2.00 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends or (ii) the amount per share that would have been payable had such shares been converted into common stock immediately prior to such event.
The 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 applicable series of the outstanding Preferred Stock.

Note 15–Segment Reporting

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the consolidated Statement of Operations.

Following these transactions, the Company continues to operate as a single reportable segment.
As a result, the Company no longer operates manufacturing facilities and has transitioned to a capital-light model for the term of the Distribution Agreement. The results of the former manufacturing and omnichannel sales operations have been reclassified to net income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented.

Note 17–Income Taxes
The Company recognized income$0 and$0 of tax expense in the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets and permanent differences.
The Company continually monitors and performs an assessment of the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets using a “more likely than not” standard. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2026 was appropriate.
