Borealis Foods Inc.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the substantial amount of debt coming due within the next 12 months and negative cash flow position along with other conditions as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Reverse Recapitalization Transaction

As described further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 7, 2024, Borealis Foods Inc. (“Borealis”) consummated a merger transaction with Oxus Acquisition Corp. (“Oxus”). The merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), in which Borealis was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Oxus the legal acquirer based upon the terms of merger transaction.

We identified the accounting for the reverse recapitalization as a critical audit matter because of the complexity in the determination of the proper treatment of the transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including judgments made by management to arrive at the proper conclusion. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased level of effort when performing audit procedures.

Our audit procedures performed to address the critical matter included, among others:

•Review key documents of the transaction.

•Review Management’s analysis for the accounting treatment of the transaction and related impact.

•Review the Opening Balance Adjustments Workbook and accounting treatment and application of audit areas impacted.

•Verify mathematical accuracy of supporting schedules utilized for opening balance sheet adjustments.

•Ensure accounting treatment and application to impacted areas done in accordance with underlying agreements and US GAAP.
