Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2025
Note 1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend beverages, particularly, smoothies, shakes and frappes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Vendor Concentrations
The Company is exposed to supply risk as a result of concentration in its vendor base resulting from the use of a limited number of contract manufacturers. Purchases from the Company’s significant contract manufacturers as a percentage of all finished goods purchased were as follows:
| For the three months ended September 30, | For the nine months ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Manufacturer A | 36% | 63% | 44% | 58% |
| Manufacturer B | 40% | 37% | 41% | 40% |
| Other Manufacturers | 24% | 0% | 15% | 2% |
Manufacturer A has notified the Company that it will cease supplying smoothie bottles in February 2026. Manufacturer B, which makes smoothie cartons, is currently installing bottling equipment which is expected to be operational in January 2026 with approximately 400% additional capacity of bottles over Manufacturer A. Manufacturer B will discontinue making smoothie cartons in December 2025 in preparation for the transition to bottles. The Company’s acquisition of Arps (Note 8) is expected to mitigate supply risks associated with co-manufacturing arrangements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances for credits and for any potential uncollectible amounts due to credit losses. We make estimates of the expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there wasno allowance for credit losses. There wasno credit loss expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer |
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
| 2) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract |
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. For the Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
| 3) | Determine the transaction price |
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes rebates or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method. Provisions for refunds are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical and projected trends.
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract |
Since the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated to that single performance obligation.
| 5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfilment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
Payments that are received before performance obligations are recorded are shown as current liabilities.
The Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a single product, frozen beverages.
Storage and Shipping Costs
Storage and outbound freight costs are included in selling, marketing and distribution expense. For the three months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $491,000 and $480,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $1,157,000 and $1,061,000, respectively.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $33,000 and $52,000 in research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $82,000 and $99,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Loss Per Share
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents have not been included in the calculation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of losses incurred.
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Leased assets amounting to $454,000 are included in construction in progress at September 30, 2025.
Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company leases office space under a non-cancellable operating lease which expired on March 31, 2023, and wasextended in a series of short-term amendments through March 31, 2026. The Company’s periodic lease cost was approximately $20,000 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $60,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Legal Proceedings
Schreiber Dispute
The Company’s products are produced to its specifications through several contract manufacturers. One of the Company’s contract manufacturers (the “Manufacturer”) provided approximately 52% and 42% of the Company’s products in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under a Supply Agreement with an initial term through September 2025.
Over the course of 2022, the Company experienced numerous quality issues with the case packaging utilized by the Manufacturer. In addition, in July of 2022, the Company began receiving customer complaints about the texture of the Company’s smoothie products produced by the Manufacturer. In response, the Company withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory, withholding $499,000 in payments due to the Manufacturer.
The Company attempted to resolve the issues based on the contractual procedures described in the Supply Agreement. However, on November 4, 2022, in response to a formal proposal of alternate resolutions, the Company received notification from the Manufacturer that it was denying any responsibility for the defective manufacture of the product. In response, on November 10, 2022, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division (the “Complaint”), claiming that the Manufacturer had not met its obligations under the Supply Agreement, and seeking economic damages. In response, the Manufacturer terminated the Supply Agreement. On January 20, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary dismissal of the Complaint which allowed the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, as the parties were once again unable to come to an agreement, the Company re-filed the Complaint in California State Court in August 2023 and continues to progress through the court system.
In May 2024, the Company entered into a non-recourse litigation financing arrangement which is expected to be adequate to pursue the Complaint to conclusion.
Due to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, the Company is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible recoveries that could result from its actions against the Manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The disruption in its supply resulting from the dispute has adversely impacted the Company’s results of operations and cash flow. The Company has mitigated the impact of the supply disruption with the introduction of its single-serve smoothie cartons, the identification of other co-manufacturing sources, and the acquisition of Arps Dairy, Inc. (“Arps”), as described in Note 8.
Other legal matters
From time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe the probability of a material unfavorable outcome is remote.
Note 5. Debt
Line of Credit
In August 2024, the Company secured receivables financing of $1,500,000 (the “Facility”), and amended the facility in September 2025 to increase the available financing to $2,500,000. Under the Facility, the Company may borrow up to 90% of eligible customer account balances. Amounts outstanding bear interest at a rate prime plus 1.2% and collateral fees of 0.15% and are secured by accounts receivable and inventory. The Facility expires on September 5, 2026, and renews automatically, unless notice is given or received. As of September 30, 2025, there was $1,759,000 drawn under the Facility, and $12,000 in unamortized discount.
Financing Agreements
In 2024 and 2025, the Company entered into lease and financing agreements to purchase equipment and software as a service, with weighted average imputed or stated interest of 24%.
Amounts due under the agreements are as follows as of September 30, 2025:
| 2025 (3 months) | $92,000 |

| Less: interest | (176,000) |
| Financing agreements | 596,000 |

Commitments under lease financing arrangements amounting to $196,000 and $304,000 are included in financing agreements – current and financing agreements, respectively, at September 30, 2025.
Convertible Notes
From July 2023 to March 2024, the Company executed subscription agreements for substantially all of a $2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering. The debt was available to be drawn in 25% increments, maturing on the anniversary of the draw, bearing interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless of earlier payment or conversion, and was mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If the Company had not exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt had the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price.
On October 23, 2023, the Company drew down $1,390,000 in convertible debt and converted a total of $1,207,000 of principal into 820,160 shares of common stock. Additionally, on December 19, 2023, the Company drew down $470,000 in convertible debt and converted a total of $653,000 of principal and $4,000 of accrued interest into 495,331 shares of common stock. Finally, on March 27 and 29, 2024 the Company drew down $136,000 in convertible debt and converted the total drawn into 124,208 shares, settling all debt. Debt drawdowns included the non-cash settlement of $30,000 and $71,000 in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Note 7. Income Taxes
ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a valuation allowance on all tax assets. As of September 30, 2025, the estimated effective tax rate for 2025 waszero.
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2019 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Note 8. Subsequent Event – Business Combination
The Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated September 15, 2025, among the Company, Arps, and the shareholders of Arps (the “Arps Shareholders”). On October 3, 2025, the Company, Arps and the Arps Shareholders completed the closing under the Purchase Agreement. As a result, Arps became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company repaid approximately $1.3 million of certain existing debt of Arps, including an asset-based revolving facility, and is in the process of refinancing a $2.2 million mortgage loan (the “Mortgage”). The Company utilized a portion of its secured receivables financing facility, which had been recently increased to $2.5 million, to effect the debt repayment. To obtain the forbearance agreement from the existing mortgage lender, the Company provided its guaranty of the Mortgage loan and issued restricted shares of its common stock, valued at $100,000, to the Arps Shareholders in exchange for continuing their guarantees with the mortgage lender. Prior to the closing, the Arps Shareholders reduced the outstanding balance of the revolving facility as required by the Purchase Agreement. The Company and Arps have agreed to repay the advances made by the Arps Shareholders within six months of the Closing, secured by a second mortgage on real estate owned by Arps.
Arps, which currently operates a dairy processing facility in Defiance, Ohio, had commenced construction on a 44,000-square foot new facility but was unable to complete construction. The Company plans to complete construction and installation of the processing equipment in the new facility in 2026 (the “New Facility”). In October 2025, the Company incurred additional lease financing of $245,000 to procure equipment.
The Company has commenced manufacturing of certain of its own products at Arps’ existing facility and expects to expand production during the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026, thereby eliminating fees previously paid to third-party manufacturers, reducing freight costs, enabling the more efficient procurement of ingredients, and lowering cold storage costs.
To obtain the forbearance from Arps’ existing mortgage lender, WesBanco Bank, Inc., until January 1, 2026, the Company provided its guaranty of the Mortgage loan. The outstanding balance of the Mortgage was $2,198,000 as of October 3, 2025.
Concurrently with the Company’s acquisition of Arps, certain advances to Arps from its former shareholders were formalized with the Company assuming joint and several responsibility for the obligations. The Company and Arps issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 to the Arps Shareholders, which consisted of $400,000 of debt previously owed by Arps (the “Existing Loans”) and $400,000 representing the recent advances used to reduce the outstanding balance of the revolving facility (the “New Advances”). The Existing Loans are to be repaid by April 3, 2026 and may be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the Company, using the 15-day volume-weighted average trading price to determine the value of the shares. If the New Advances are not paid by January 3, 2026, interest shall accrue at the rate of 7% per annum from October 3, 2025.
Note 9. Liquidity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company used $2,173,000 in operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1,626,000 in working capital, including $1,891,000 in cash. As a result of the Arps acquisition (Note 8), the Company has assumed a $2,198,000 Mortgage that must be refinanced by January 1, 2026. Additionally, the Company has obligations outstanding under finance agreements of $841,000, including $245,000 borrowed in October 2025.
The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flow, which are expected to improve with growth. As described more fully in Note 4, the dispute and subsequent contract termination with the Manufacturer has resulted in limitations in the Company’s ability to procure certain products necessary to achieve our growth projections and in elevated legal costs.
To mitigate the impact of procurement constraints, the Company builds inventory in anticipation of third quarter seasonal requirements, and has invested in materials necessary to carry out trials and initial production runs at new co-manufacturers and acquired Arps in October 2025. The Company has an available receivables-based line of credit of $2,500,000, with $1,759,000 in outstanding borrowing as of September 30, 2025. Management expects that the cash cycle will shorten as additional contracted and owned capacity improves production volume and efficiency in the fourth quarter of 2025 and beyond. Additionally, in May 2024, the Company obtained non-recourse litigation financing to allow vigorous pursuit of the complaint against the Manufacturer without further expense to the Company. Finally, as described in Note 6, the Company raised $3,000,000 through the sale of the Company’s common stock in February 2025.
The financial position at September 30, 2025, historical results and obligations incurred in association with the Arps acquisition raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As described, the Company has completed steps to mitigate dispute related issues and raise capital. The Company is undertaking steps to refinance the Mortgage on a long-term basis and complete construction of the New Facility. The actions taken have resulted in the alleviation of the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
