Note 1 Nature of Operations
Capstone Holding Corp. (the "Company") is a holding company that operates through its consolidated subsidiaries: TotalStone, LLC ("TotalStone"), Carolina Stone Holdings, LLC ("Carolina Stone"), and Fraser Canyon Holdings Inc. ("FCHI" and together with its subsidiaries, the "CSI business"). Through these subsidiaries, the Company distributes and installs masonry and stone veneer products for residential and commercial construction across North America.
On* April 1, 2020,*the Company obtained a controlling interest in TotalStone, a materials distribution company that distributes masonry and stone veneer products for residential and commercial construction across the United States. TotalStone operates under the trade names Instone and Northeast Masonry Distributors ("NMD").
On* August 22, 2025,*the Company, through its subsidiary CS Purchase Holdings LLC, acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the "Holdings Membership Interests") in Carolina Stone Holdings, which owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Carolina Stone Distributors, LLC. Carolina Stone is a stone supplier and installer specializing in both manufactured and natural stone veneer and offering end-to-end services, including material supply, installation, and project management for residential, commercial, and multi-family projects in the Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, North Carolina markets.
On* December 1, 2025,through its indirect subsidiary Instone Canada Corp., the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Fraser Canyon Holdings, Inc.

FCHI is the parent company of Canadian Stone Industries Partnership, Canadian Stone Industries Inc., and CSIA, which together distribute natural and manufactured stone products wholesale from locations in Langley, British Columbia; North York, Ontario; and San Leandro, California. Effective at the closing of the CSI acquisition, the San Leandro, California operations were integrated into Instone's U.S. distribution network to consolidate West Coast operations; the CSI business today operates fromtwo* locations in British Columbia and Ontario.
Note2 IPO and Restructuring
On* March 7, 2025 (the “Restructuring Date”), Capstone closed its Public Offering of 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the “Public Offering Shares”), which were registered under the Rule424*(b) of the Securities Act of1933, as amended, pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (FileNo. 333-284105) which was declared effective by the SEC on* February 14, 2025.*The Public Offering Shares were sold at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, which generated net proceeds of approximately $3,252,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
On* March 7, 2025,TotalStone entered into afifth* amended and restated limited liability company agreement to govern its operations and affairs and its relationship with its members, which post restructuring is solely Capstone.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capstone and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and all adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make a number of assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s assumptions regarding current events and actions that* mayimpact the Company in the future, actual results may*differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company’s management exercises significant judgments in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles and their estimated useful lives. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments* maymaterially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results mayvary from these estimates which may*result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC820 establishes athree-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that arenot active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little orno market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurement. Level3 inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The categorization of an asset or liability within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs.
The Company's recurring fair value measurements as of* December 31, 2025consist of (i) the embedded conversion features bifurcated from the Senior Secured Convertible Notes, classified as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level3*); and (ii) the contingent earn-out consideration related to the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions, measured at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model with significant unobservable inputs (Level3). The Company also performs nonrecurring fair value measurements in connection with business combinations (Note4) and goodwill impairment testing (Note7), which involve Level3 inputs including projected cash flows, discount rates, and market multiples. The Company hasno recurring Level1 or Level2 fair value measurements as of* December 31, 2025or December 31, 2024.*
F-9
Cash
Cash consists of balances held in a commercial bank account.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates expected credit losses for the allowance for expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that* mayaffect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. As of December 31, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $127.0 thousand and $104.0 thousand, respectively.
Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers include retainage provisions. Retainage represents amounts withheld from billings by customers until installation work has been inspected to ensure that obligations have been satisfied under the contract. Company invoices retainage and includes it in contract receivables when obligations have been satisfied and the right to receipt is subject only to the passage of time. As of* December 31, 2025,retainage receivables were $15.0 thousand. There wereno retainage receivables as of December 31, 2024.*
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places cash with high credit quality institutions. During the normal course of business, balances in these accounts* mayexceed the maximum amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s diverse customer base and generally short payment terms. Management believes there isno* business vulnerability regarding concentrations of accounts receivable and sales due to the strong relationships and financial strength of our customers.
F-10
Inventories
Inventories consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the average cost method, or net realizable value. Inventories also include deposits placed on inventory purchases for shipmentsnot yet received. Significant prepaid inventory* maybe located overseas. At December 31, 2025and2024*, the total prepaid inventory balance was $61.0 thousand and $163.0 thousand, respectively. The reserve for obsolete inventory at* December 31, 2025* and* December 31, 2024*, totaled $793.0 thousand and $576.0 thousand, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging from three toforty years. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Property and equipment is comprised of building, machinery & equipment, computer equipment, leasehold improvements, software, office equipment, vehicles, and furniture & fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets arenot amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually as of the1st day of thefourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist. The Company’s goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units. As of* December 31, 2025,*the Company hasthree reporting units: the TotalStone segment (TotalStone, LLC and Canadian Stone Industries) and the Carolina Stone segment (Carolina Stone Distributors, LLC).
In evaluating potential goodwill impairment, the Companyfirst assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely thannot that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely thannot that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company measures any goodwill impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value,not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the year ended* December 31, 2025,the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Instone reporting unit as of October 1, 2025,and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $6,200.0 thousand. See Note7* for additional information regarding the Company's goodwill impairment testing.No impairment was required for the year ended* December 31, 2024.*
Intangible assets with finite lives, consist of a distribution agreement, customer relationships and non-compete agreements that are amortized over the terms of the agreements or expected useful lives.
Long-lived Asset Impairments
Long-lived assets and finite lived identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset* may**not* be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount of which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company determined thatno impairment was required for the periods presented.
Convertible Debt
The Company accounts for convertible debt in accordance with ASC470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC815, Derivatives and Hedging. At issuance, the Company evaluates whether embedded conversion features require bifurcation as derivative liabilities under ASC815-15. If bifurcation is required, the embedded feature is recorded at fair value as of the issuance date, with the initial fair value recognized as a derivative liability and a corresponding debt discount on the host instrument. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as non-operating, non-cash income or expense. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. Upon modification of convertible debt, the Company evaluates the transaction under ASC470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and remeasures the bifurcated derivative immediately before and after the modification, with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Upon conversion, the Company derecognizes the pro-rata carrying amount of the host debt (including unamortized OID, debt issuance costs, and derivative discount) and the corresponding portion of the derivative liability at its then-current fair value. Effective upon adoption of ASU2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic470-20), the Companyno longer evaluates convertible instruments for beneficial conversion features.
Investment in Non-Marketable Securities
Investments in non-marketable securities without readily determinable fair values by entities that donot exercise significant influence over the investee are recorded at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes.
Revenue Recognition
Our sales primarily consist of distributing manufactured and natural stone cladding products, natural stone landscape products, and related goods for residential and commercial construction through a dealer network in 32 states in the Midwestern, Northeastern and Southeastern United States. For distribution sales, the Company recognizes revenue when control over the products has been transferred to the customer, typically upon shipment, and the Company has a present right to payment. For installation and project-based work, the Company recognizes revenue over time as performance obligations are satisfied. For production and custom residential jobs, revenue is generally recognized upon completion, as substantially all projects are short-term in nature. A small portion of commercial projects are recognized based on progress toward completion, typically through monthly billings. For2025 and2024, there areno estimates of variable consideration represented in revenue.Net revenue recognized at a point in time totaled approximately $43.5 million and $44.9 million for the years ended* December 31, 2025and2024,* respectively. Net revenue recognized over time totaled approximately $3.3 million for the year ended* December 31, 2025*and primarily relates to Carolina Stone.
F-11
Shipping and Handling
The Company includes amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling and shipping and handling expenses in cost of goods sold.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotional expenses are expensed in the period incurred unless there are material costs that benefit future periods. The consolidated financial statements currently donot reflect any prepaid advertising expenses. For2025 and2024, advertising expenses were $74.0 thousand and $187.0 thousand, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and werenot significant in the periods presented.
Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company classifies preferred stock that embodies an unconditional obligation to redeem the instrument by transferring assets at a specified or determinable date as a liability in accordance with ASC480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Such instruments are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the present value of the amount to be paid at settlement, with interest expense accrued using the rate implicit at inception. Periodic dividend obligations on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock classified as a liability are presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's Series Z8% Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, issued* September 30, 2025,has been assessed as mandatorily redeemable and is presented as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note15* for additional information.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to the common stockholders of Capstone Holding Corp. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive.
For the years ended* December 31, 2025and2024*, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For the year ended* December 31, 2025*, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation consisted of the following:
| December 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Convertible notes | 4,393,933 | — |
| Representative's warrant | 62,500 | — |
| Stock options | 50 | 500 |
| BP Peptides warrant | 6,322 | 6,322 |
| Total | 4,462,805 | 6,822 |

We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In* July 2025,the FASB issued ASU2025*-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic326*): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.* The amendments permit a practical expedient under which an entity* mayassume current conditions as of the balance sheet date willnot* change over the remaining life of accounts receivable and contract assets arising from customer contracts. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2025,and interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption and prospective application are permitted. The Company is evaluating the standard and doesnot* expect a material impact.
Note4 Business Combinations
During the fiscal year ended* December 31, 2025*, the Company completedtwo acquisitions, each accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic805, Business Combinations. The Company engaged Loop Capital Financial Consulting Services, LLC (“Loop Capital”) as an independentthird-party valuation firm to assist with the purchase price allocations.
Carolina Stone Distributors, LLC
On* August 22, 2025,*the Company, through its subsidiary CS Purchase Holdings LLC, completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Carolina Stone Holdings, LLC (“Carolina Stone Holdings”), which owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Carolina Stone Distributors, LLC (“Carolina Stone”). Carolina Stone is a Morrisville, North Carolina-based distributor and installer of stone veneer and masonry products serving the Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte metropolitan areas.
Purchase Consideration. The aggregate purchase consideration for the Carolina Stone Companies was approximately $4,202.0 thousand, consisting of the following: cash at closing of $2,625.0 thousand (less preliminary working capital adjustment of $124.0 thousand for net cash transferred of $2,501.0 thousand), a subordinated promissory note of $1,250.0 thousand, final working capital adjustment of $77.0 thousand, and contingent consideration (earn-out) at fair value of $250.0 thousand.
The subordinated promissory note was issued toD22L, Inc. in the original principal amount of $1,250 thousand, maturing* February 22, 2028.The note bears interest at SOFR plus 1.25%, payable quarterly commencing December 31, 2025,with quarterly principal payments of $100.0 thousand beginning December 31, 2026.*After application of the working capital true-up of approximately $56.0 thousand, the outstanding principal balance at closing was approximately $1,306.0 thousand.
Contingent consideration of up to $825 thousand is payable as a singular payment based on Carolina Stone’s EBITDA performance duringthree annual measurement periods (fiscal years2025, 2026, and2027). Onlyone payment can be earned across allthree periods. If Carolina Stone achieves EBITDA of at least*$1,000* thousand in either thefirst orsecond measurement period, the seller receives the full $825 thousand, payable in equal quarterly installments through* June 30, 2028.If the EBITDA threshold isnot* met in thefirst two periods, the seller* mayreceive up to $825 thousand in thethird* measurement period: the full amount if EBITDA exceeds*$1,000* thousand, or a pro-rata amount determined by linear interpolation if EBITDA falls between*$800* thousand and*$1,000* thousand (as the value that EBITDA represents between*$775* thousand and*$1,000* thousand). If EBITDA doesnot reach*$800* thousand in any measurement period,no earn-out is payable.
The fair value at acquisition date of $250 thousand was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with key assumptions including asset volatility of 35.0%, risk-free rate of 3.69%, and EBITDA projections based on management forecasts. Based on management’s assessment as of* December 31, 2025*,no remeasurement of the contingent consideration fair value was required for fiscal year2025.
Purchase Price Allocation. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the final purchase price allocation performed with the assistance of Loop Capital (in thousands):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Cash purchase price | $2,702 |

Fraser Canyon Holdings Inc. / Canadian Stone Industries
On* December 1, 2025,the Company completed the acquisition of Fraser Canyon Holdings Inc. (“FCHI”) and its subsidiaries, including Canadian Stone Industries Inc. (“CSI”), throughtwo* simultaneous transactions: (i) TotalStone, LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Continental Stone Industries, Inc. (the “Asset Purchase”), and (ii) a subsidiary of TotalStone acquired all of the outstanding shares of FCHI (the “Share Purchase”). CSI is a Langley, British Columbia-based distributor of manufactured and natural stone products serving Western and Eastern Canada.
Purchase Consideration. The Fraser Canyon Acquisition comprisestwo simultaneous transactions: (i) the CSIA Asset Purchase, in which TotalStone, LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Continental Stone Industries, Inc. for cash consideration of approximately US$459 thousand (CAD $647 thousand); and (ii) the FCHI Share Purchase, in which Instone Canada Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TotalStone, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Fraser Canyon Holdings, Inc. for consideration of approximately US$6,267 thousand (representing the FCHI Share Purchase portion of the combined transaction). Under ASC805, both transactions have been accounted for as a single combined business combination because they were entered into in contemplation ofone another and effected concurrently. The purchase consideration for the combined Fraser Canyon Acquisition consisted of: (i)C$6,200,000 in cash (approximately US$4,447 thousand at the closing-day exchange rate ofUS$1.00 =C$1.3943), of which US$459 thousand (C$647 thousand) represented the Continental Cash Purchase Price paid by TotalStone, LLC for the CSIA Asset Purchase, reduced by a working capital adjustment of C$473,189 (approximately US$339 thousand) that lowered the Cash Purchase Price payable to the FCHI sellers; (ii) Seller Note I in the principal amount of C$1,600,000 (approximately US$1,148 thousand), maturing* March 31, 2027; (iii) Seller Note II in the principal amount of C$2,000,000 (approximately US$1,434 thousand), maturing December 1, 2028;and (iv) contingent earn-out consideration of up to C$3,000,000 (approximately US$2,152 thousand) based on Average EBITDA during the2026–2027* and2027–2028 measurement periods, with an acquisition-date fair value of US$100 thousand (US$80 thousand for Earn-Out Provision I and US$20 thousand for Earn-Out Provision II) as measured with the assistance of Loop Capital and reflected in the purchase price allocation set forth below. The seller notes, working capital adjustment, and earn-out provisions relate solely to the FCHI Share Purchase. U.S. dollar amounts have been translated from Canadian dollars at the closing-day exchange rate ofUS$1.00 =C$1.3943. The purchase price is subject to finalization during the measurement period.
The initial accounting for the Fraser Canyon Acquisition is incomplete as of* December 31, 2025.The Company has engaged Loop Capital to assist with the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration; the purchase price allocation presented below is based on valuations performed with the assistance of Loop Capital. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period. The purchase price allocation is based on management’s best estimates and is subject to adjustment during the measurement period (up toone* year from the acquisition date) as additional information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The aggregate purchase consideration of approximately US$6,262 thousand reflected in the purchase price allocation below represents the FCHI Share Purchase only, stated net of the Continental Cash Purchase Price paid separately for the CSIA Asset Purchase and net of the working capital reduction described above, with U.S. dollar amounts translated at the exchange rates used for purchase accounting purposes.
Goodwill of approximately US$616 thousand at* December 31, 2025 (compared to US$601 thousand at the acquisition date), including approximately $15 thousand of foreign currency translation impact. Of the goodwill recognized at the acquisition date,$601* thousand was recognized in connection with the FCHI Share Purchase, attributable to the assembled workforce (valued at approximately US$230 thousand) and expected synergies from integrating Canadian Stone Industries’ western Canadian distribution operations with the Company’s existing platform. Goodwill from the FCHI Share Purchase isnot deductible for Canadian income tax purposes. The CSIA Asset Purchase didnot result in goodwill, as the cash purchase consideration approximated the fair value of the net assets acquired; any tax basis in goodwill from the CSIA Asset Purchase is amortizable for U.S. income tax purposes pursuant to Section197 of the Internal Revenue Code.
CSI contributed revenue of $592 thousand and net loss of $92 thousand for the period from* December 1, 2025through December 31, 2025.*Acquisition-related costs, including the Nectarine consent fee of $89 thousand and legal and advisory fees, were expensed as incurred.

The Company prepared this unaudited pro forma information under ASC805-10-50-2(h), presenting consolidated results as if the Carolina Stone and Fraser Canyon acquisitions had closed on* January 1, 2024.Pro forma earnings per share uses the Company's actual weighted-average common shares outstanding —5,321,454 for2025* and 157,610 for2024 — because neither acquisition involved share consideration. The2024 share count reflects the Company's capital structure prior to its* March 2025*initial public offering.
The pro forma results include the following adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions, consistent with the Company's prior pro forma disclosures in Forms8-K/A filed with the SEC:
(a) Acquisition-related transaction expenses — Under the assumed acquisition date of* January 1, 2024,$1,298 of estimated transaction costs is reflected in the year ended December 31, 2024.The $1,203 of actual transaction expenses recorded in2025* is reclassified out of pro forma2025 results to avoid duplication.
(b) Incremental interest expense — $164 for2025 and $1,832 for2024, representing interest on acquisition debt as if outstanding from* January 1, 2024.*Acquisition debt includes the Carolina seller note ($1,250 at SOFR +1.25%), the Fraser subordinate seller note ($1,148 at TD Prime +1.00%), and the Fraser senior secured note ($1,434 at SOFR +1.25%).
(c) Incremental amortization — $16 per year on intangible assets recognized in the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Carolina Stone acquisition.
(d) Income taxes —No incremental tax effect has been recognized on the above adjustments because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
The pro forma results donot represent what the Company would have reported had the acquisitions closed on the assumed date, nor do they predict future performance.

Note7 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended* December 31, 2025* are as follows in (“000’s”):
| Balance – December 31, 2024 | $23,286 |
|---|---|
| Goodwill acquired during year | |

| Fraser Canyon (December 1, 2025) | 601 |
| Foreign currency translation | 15 |
| Impairment losses: | |
| Instone | (6,200) |
| Balance – December 31, 2025 | $18,460 |
Goodwill recognized in connection with the Carolina Stone acquisition of $758.0 thousand is attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies from integrating Carolina Stone’s southeastern distribution network and installation capabilities with the Company’s existing platform. All goodwill from the Carolina Stone acquisition is allocated to the Carolina Stone reporting unit and is deductible for income tax purposes.
During the year ended* December 31, 2025,the Company engaged Loop Capital and performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Instone reporting unit as of October 1, 2025.The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was determined using a weighted blend of the income approach (discounted cash flow method,50% weight), the guideline public company method (25% weight), and the guideline merged and acquired company method (25% weight). The blended enterprise value of approximately $28,148.0 thousand, after adjustment for net debt of approximately $14,632.0 thousand, resulted in an estimated fair value of equity of $13,516.0 thousand, which was $6,200.0 thousand (31.4%) below the carrying value of $19,716.0 thousand. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $6,200.0 thousand during thefourth* quarter of2025. Following the impairment charge, goodwill allocated to the Instone reporting unit was $17,086.0 thousand as of* December 31, 2025.*

Note 8 Fair Value Measurements ** **
The Company’s fair value hierarchy policy is described in Note3. The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 — Recurring | ||||
| Derivative liabilities — embedded conversion features | $— | $— | $726 | $726 |
| December 31, 2025 — Non-recurring (equity-premise) | ||||
| Goodwill — Instone reporting unit | $— | $— | $13,516 | $13,516 |
Significant unobservable inputs used in the Level3 measurement of the derivative liabilities (Black-Scholes option-pricing model) are summarized below:
| SSN #1 at Issuance (7/31/2025) · SSN #2 at Issuance (10/22/2025) · December 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected term (years) | 0.51 | 0.50 | 0.08 | – | 0.31 |
| Risk-free rate | 4.28% | 3.78% | 3.67% | – | 3.74% |
| Annualized volatility | 129.3% | 144.8% | 137.4% | ||
In addition to the embedded derivative liabilities described above, the Company's Level3 recurring fair value measurements include contingent earn-out consideration of $352 at* December 31, 2025,comprising $250 from the Carolina Stone acquisition and $102 from the Fraser Canyon acquisition. The fair value of each earn-out was determined at the respective acquisition date using an option pricing model implemented through a Monte Carlo simulation of the underlying EBITDA of each acquired business, and has been carried at the acquisition-date fair value through December 31, 2025pending thefirst* measurement period as there wereno material changes from the acquisition date through fiscal year-end.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the Carolina Stone earn-out valuation included EBITDA volatility of 35.0%, a risk-adjusted discount rate of 15.00% to 15.50%, and risk-free rates of 3.75% to 4.37% across thethree annual measurement periods through2027, with forecasted annual EBITDA ranging from $285 to $1,021. The Carolina Stone earn-out is capped at $825 per annual measurement period subject to EBITDA floors and targets of $800 to $1,000. For the Fraser Canyon earn-out, the significant unobservable inputs included EBITDA volatility of 40.0%, a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11.50%, and risk-free rates of 3.55% to 3.63% across thethree annual measurement periods through2028, with forecasted annual EBITDA ranging from CAD $776 to CAD $1,065.
The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is most sensitive to changes in projected EBITDA, EBITDA volatility, and the risk-adjusted discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in expected EBITDA would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in EBITDA volatility generally result in a higher (lower) fair value given the option-like payoff structure. Increases (decreases) in the risk-adjusted discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair value. Changes in the fair value of the earn-out liabilities are recognized within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities is highly sensitive to changes in the expected volatility input. Significant increases (decreases) in the expected annualized volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement of the derivative liabilities, which would be recognized as a non-operating loss (gain) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Note 9 Investment in Non-Marketable Securities
On* January 15, 2021,Capstone acquired a minority interest in a consumer products company, Diamond Products Holdings, LLC (“ Diamond”), a sexual wellness holding company. The structure of the transaction was as follows: i) Brookstone Acquisition Partners XXI Corporation (“Brookstone XXI”) contributed its approximately 95% equity interest in Diamond, which represented approximately 62% equity ownership on a fully-diluted basis, to Diamond Products Holdings, LLC (“DPH”); ii) The Company formed Capstone Beta LLC (“Beta”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Beta purchased a portion of Brookstone XXI’s interest in DPH; iii) Beta issued a promissory note to Brookstone XXI in the original principal amount of $8.0 million, bearing interest at 1% per annum over a 36 month term, and secured its obligations thereunder by pledging Beta’s interests in DPH; and iv) As additional credit support, Capstone issued a limited payment guaranty to Brookstone XXI in the amount of 10% of the principal amount of Beta’s promissory note. The terms of the promissory note issued by Beta to Brookstone XXI include provisions whereby in the event that the membership interests in Diamond are sold or otherwise disposed of, any proceeds received by Beta are to be utilized to prepay the promissory note to Brookstone XXI and Brookstone XXI’s remaining recourse for the remaining note balance, if any, is limited to the pledged collateral (Beta’s membership interest in DPH) and the $800.0 thousand limited payment guarantee provide by Capstone. DPH was structured to holdone* asset, the membership interest in Diamond, and accordingly upon the sale or other disposition of the membership interests in Diamond, the sole recourse of payment by Brookstone XXI is the $800.0 thousand limited payment guarantee. In summary, the intent of Brookstone XXI and the special committee of Capstone’s independent directors entering into this arrangement was to limit Capstone’s downside risk to $800.0 thousand.
Diamond was previously sold to its lender in satisfaction of outstanding secured indebtedness, and the Company recognized an impairment charge equal to its full basis in the investment. As of* December 31, 2025and2024,* the carrying value of the Company's investment in DPH was $0, andno amount is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Liquidity and Nasdaq Listing Compliance
In* January 2026,the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the closing bid price of its Common Stock had been below$1.00* per share for30 consecutive business days and that the Company was thereforenot in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule5550(a)(2). The Company has until* July 6, 2026to regain compliance, and the Board of Directors intends to seek shareholder authorization at the2026* Annual Meeting to effect a reverse stock split, if needed, to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement. Continued listing on Nasdaq is an important component of the Company's access to capital markets, including its ability to issue shares under the ELOC and to raise additional equity capital on favorable terms. A delisting or prolonged non-compliance could adversely impact the Company's liquidity position. In addition, the Company has generated recurring net losses, including a net loss of $21.2 million for the year ended* December 31, 2025,and has had negative cash flow from operations in each of the pasttwo* fiscal years.
Management has evaluated these conditions together with the Company's liquidity resources and operational plans. In* April 2025,the Company entered into a $20 million Equity Line of Credit agreement with3i,* LP (the "ELOC"), under which the Company* maysell shares of its Common Stock from time to time to3i,* LP at pricing determined under the ELOC agreement, subject to certain conditions, including the Company's continued Nasdaq listing. As of* December 31, 2025,and as of April 15, 2026,approximately $19.5 million remained undrawn under the ELOC, and the Company intends to continue using the ELOC as a component of its liquidity strategy alongside its Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company is also actively integrating the businesses acquired in2025* and implementing plans to realize operating synergies and cost reductions across the combined platform. On the revenue side, management is expanding the Company's product offering — including new stone veneer lines, complementary hardscape and masonry categories, and broader distribution into the Carolinas and Canadian markets — to drive organic growth and improve operating leverage in2026. Based on this evaluation, management believes the Company's available liquidity and operating plans are sufficient to fund operations for at leastone year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 17 Income Taxes (cont.)
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023‑09,* Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax information by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to income taxes paid. The amendments require entities to disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction, providing separate disclosure for federal, state, and foreign income tax payments. These requirements are intended to give users of the financial statements greater insight into the geographical distribution of an entity’s cash tax outflows and tax related cash flow risks. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) are as follows for the year ended* December 31, 2025in ('000's'*):
| Tax Year Ended | |
|---|---|
| U.S. Federal · $ · - | |
| U.S. State | |
| California | (79) |
| New Jersey | (66) |
| Foreign | |
| Canada | 21 |
| Total income taxes paid, net | $(124) |
The Company has accumulated approximately $141.0 million in federal and $17.0 million in state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and approximately $3.9 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards. The federal NOLs generated before2018 have20-year carryforward periods with NOLs generated in2018 and after havingno expiration period. Federal NOLs generated in2018 and after total $3.5 million. The availability of these NOL’s to offset future taxable income could be limited in the event of a change in ownership, as defined in Section382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets are more likely thannot to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The valuation allowance changed by -$2.2 million, during the year ended* December**31,* 2025.
For the period ended* December 31, 2025,Capstone Holding Corp. has a total carryover of Federal Net Operating Losses (NOLs) of $98.4 million, which represents NOLs that were generated before the rules of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which became effective on January 1, 2018and NOLs that were generated after the TCJA. The Company expects to expire $22.7 million of NOLs for the period ended December 31, 2025.The Company’s NOLs that were generated after TCJA in the amount of $8.8 million donot* expire but are subject to the80% limitation. The Company has a State NOL carryover of $3.6 million. These NOLs are subject to various limitations and expiration dates.
The Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended, imposes restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an "ownership change" of a corporation. Accordingly, a company's ability to use net operating losses and tax credits* maybe limited as prescribed under Internal Revenue Code Section382* and383 ("IRC Section382"). Events which* maycause limitations in the amount of the net operating losses or tax credits that the Company mayuse in anyone* year include, but arenot limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than50% over athree-year period. Utilization of the federal and state net operating losses* maybe subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the IRC Section382* rules and similar state provisions. At* December 31, 2025,based on preliminary internal analysis, the Company hasnot* experienced an ownership change as defined under IRC Section382. However, in light of the2025 initial public offering, corporate restructuring, and conversions of convertible notes and preferred interests into common stock, the Company expects that an ownership change* mayoccur in early2026.* Upon occurrence of an ownership change, the Company's ability to utilize its $98.4 million of pre-TCJA and $8.8 million of post-TCJA federal net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income will become subject to an annual limitation under IRC Section382. The Company intends to engage an outside advisor to complete a formal Section382 study. Any such limitation isnot expected to affect the Company's net income tax expense in the near term because of the full valuation allowance maintained against net deferred tax assets.
The Company's major tax jurisdictions are the United States and Canada. All of the Company's tax years will remain open for examination by the Federal and state tax authorities forthree andfour years, respectively, from the date of utilization of the net operating loss or research and development credit. The Company doesnot have any tax audits pending in the United States.
"The Inflation Reduction Act of2022 was signed into law* August 16, 2022,and includes significant legislation addressing taxes, inflation, climate change and renewable energy incentives, and healthcare. Key tax provisions include a15%* corporate minimum tax, clean energy incentives, and a1% excise tax on stock buybacks. The Company doesnot expect the provisions of such legislation to have any impact on the effective tax rate of the Company but will continue to evaluate the tax effects should any provisions become applicable to the Company.
On* July 4, 2025,the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted as Public Law119‑21.* The legislation implements several amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, including the permanent extension of100 percent bonus depreciation for qualified property and research and development expenditures, as well as revisions to expensing rules applicable to certain structures. The Act also includes modifications affecting corporate tax administration, such as adjustments to the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), changes to Opportunity Zone related provisions, and the scheduled expiration or modification of certain business related clean energy credits.
The Company has evaluated the corporate income tax effects of the OBBBA in the period of enactment. In connection with the Act’s modifications to bonus depreciation, the Company has accelerated depreciation for its current period additions, consistent with the Act’s statutory framework governing the100 percent allowance. The resulting adjustments have been reflected in the Company’s measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the enactment of the OBBBA didnot have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for the year ended* December 31, 2025.*The Company will continue to monitor regulatory and administrative guidance issued under the Act."
