Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “Reed’s,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to Reed’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains and incorporates by reference market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements”. Statements that constitute forward-looking statements are generally identified through the inclusion of words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “expressed confidence,” “forecast,” “future,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will” or similar statements or variations of such words and other similar expressions. All statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends. They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The discussion of risks in this report is by no means all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our future performance.

Summary Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making a decision to invest in our securities. These risks include, among others, the following:
| ● | We have incurred and may continue to incur losses, and we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability. |
| ● | Our current indebtedness contains, and any future indebtedness may contain, restrictions on our business. If we are unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow our business or react to market conditions could be impaired and in turn adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. |
| ● | Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly and our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, particularly with new products. Further, we may be subject to a variety of other factors that impact timely production and shipment of our products. Our business and results of operations are impacted by product shortages as well as product surplus. |
| ● | We may experience a reduced demand for some of our products due to health concerns (including obesity) and legislative initiatives against sweetened beverages. |
| ● | Supply chain challenges have impacted our ability to respond effectively or in a timely manner to increases in demand for our products and have adversely impacted our business. Supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations and financial performance. |
| ● | Damage to our reputation or brand image can adversely affect our business. |
| ● | Any inability to compete effectively can adversely affect our business. |
| ● | We are subject to international regulations that could adversely affect our business and results of operations. |
| ● | Our performance significantly depends on the contributions of key personnel. If we lose key personnel, our operations and ability to manage our business may be affected. |
| ● | If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, or if we are found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, our business can be adversely affected. |
| ● | Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can adversely affect our business. |
| ● | Potential liabilities and costs from litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations inherent in our business can have an adverse impact on our business. |
| ● | Significant changes to or failure to comply with various environmental laws may expose our co-packers to liability or cause them to close, relocate or operate at reduced production levels, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
| ● | Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity. |
| ● | Climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto may have a long-term adverse impact on our business and results of operations. |
| ● | The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. |
| ● | Our principal stockholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval. |
| ● | Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall. |
| ● | Our largest stockholder’s preemptive right could dissuade a strategic investor from making an investment in the Company. |
| ● | We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future and, as a result, stockholders’ ability to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock. |
| ● | Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of NYSE American could result in a de-listing of our common stock. |
