CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:

our ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive industry in which we operate;
our ability to maintain and enhance our brand;
our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies related to launching new products;
the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing programs;
our ability to manage current operations and to manage future growth effectively;
our future operating performance;
our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers;
our ability to protect and maintain our intellectual property;
the government regulations to which we are subject;
failure to obtain sufficient sales and distributions for our freeze dried product offerings;
the potential for supply chain disruption and delay;
the potential for transportation, labor, and raw material cost increases; and
other risks and uncertainties included in our “Risk Factors.”

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. We have based these forward-looking statements and statements of belief on our current expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this report. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should consider carefully the statements in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections of this report, which describe factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Organization and Nature of Business

Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (business acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC) to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”) to pursue the production of freeze dried fruits and vegetables, a business we later expanded to include freeze dried candy. At that time, our 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 was known as Ante5, Inc., a publicly traded company since July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, Ante5, Inc. and Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. participated in the acquisition and development of oil and gas leases.

On May 5, 2021, the Company announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze dried consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launched its first line of non-GMO products including six ready-to-make smoothies and nine snacks. On July 23, 2021, we launched six new gluten-free granola products under the Sow Good brand.

 

Effective February 15, 2024, Sow Good Inc. reincorporated to the State of Delaware from the State of Nevada under the name Sow Good Inc. pursuant to a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), dated February 15, 2024 (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was effected by the Company filing (i) articles of conversion (the “Articles of Conversion”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, (ii) a certificate of conversion (the “Certificate of Conversion”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (iii) a certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with the Reincorporation the Company also adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

Upon effectiveness of the Reincorporation:

‎the affairs of the Company ceased to be governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, the Company’s existing articles of incorporation and the Company’s existing bylaws, and the affairs of the Company became subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws;
the shares of Sow Good’s issued and outstanding common stock, with a par value $0.001 per share, converted into shares of the equivalent class of the Company’s Common Stock, each with a par value $0.001 per share, on a 1 share of common stock to 1 share of common stock basis;
each director and officer of Sow Good will continue to hold his or her respective position with the Company;
each employee benefit, stock option or other similar plan of Sow Good will continue to be an employee benefit, stock option or other similar plan of the Company; and
the Company will continue to file periodic reports and other documents with the SEC.

After launching a freeze dried candy product line in the first quarter of 2023, the Company now has fifteen SKU offerings of candy, and four crunch ice cream SKU as of March 31, 2024, that are projected to continue being a major driver of growth. After launching our freeze dried candy product line we discontinued our smoothie, snack and granola products. During the second quarter of 2023, we completed the construction of our second and third freeze driers and to facilitate the increased production demands for our recently launched candy products. The significant and rising demand for our freeze dried candy products has led us to add a fourth freeze drier in the first quarter of 2024 and begin construction of our fifth, and sixth freeze driers, which we expect to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

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

8


SOW GOOD INC.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

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 $6,239,739 at March 31, 2024. The Company had cash in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits of $1,837,840 at December 31, 2023. 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 no allowance for doubtful accounts for either of the periods presented, as all accounts receivable had been subsequently collected.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory has been determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

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

 

Fully extended lease-term

 

Construction in progress is stated at cost, which predominately relates to the cost of freezers 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 of property and equipment was $166,995 and $76,218, of which $157,457 and $0 was allocated to cost of goods sold, for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its freeze dried food products, 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 which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are 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. The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation. For the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, shipping and handling costs of $172,295 and $8,636, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold. Revenue is reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on industry-based historical data, historical sales returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.

Customer Concentration

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, one retail customer accounted for 55% of our revenues and one food distributor accounted for 18% of our revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023 one large retail customers accounted for 78% of our revenues. Our top five customers accounted for 84% and 94% of our revenues during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Supplier Concentration

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, two large candy suppliers accounted for 18% each of our purchases from vendors. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 10% of our purchases from vendors. The Company considers these vendors to be critical suppliers of candy for our freeze dried candy production.

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 2018-07”). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Stock-based compensation related to the issuance of shares of common stock for services consisted of $286,171 and $0 for the or the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation related to amortization of stock option grants consisted of $1,085,595 and $126,836 for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation to value its performance-based and market-based stock options. The fair values of service based stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 2.3 to 7.3 years based on either the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants or as calculated under the options valuation model, the discount rate on 5 to 7 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date, and are being amortized over the related implied service term, or vesting period.

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 (“ASC 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 various 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

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued five Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) related to financial instruments – credit losses. The ASUs issued were: (1) in June 2016, ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (2) in November 2018, ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” (3) in April 2019, ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” (4) in May 2019, ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” and (5) in November 2019, ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” Additionally, in February and March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (“ASC 842”): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) and ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments,” respectively, which include amendments to ASC 326.

ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leasing standard. ASU 2019-04 clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on financial instruments – credit losses, derivatives and hedging, and financial instruments. ASU 2019-05 provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825- 10, Financial Instruments—Overall. ASU 2019-11 clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries among other narrow-scope and technical improvements. ASU 2020-02 adds a SEC paragraph pursuant to the 7 Table of Contents issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 on loan losses to FASB Codification ASC 326 and updates the SEC section of the Codification for the change in the effective date of ASC 842. ASU 2020-03 makes narrow-scope improvements to various aspects of the financial instrument guidance as part of the FASB’s ongoing Codification improvement project aimed at clarifying specific areas of accounting guidance to help avoid unintended application. The Company adopted the applicable guidance in ASU 2016-13, ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 on January 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(Unaudited)

Our financial assets are limited to trade receivables. We estimate our reserve based on historical loss information. We believe 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.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, to require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The ASU’s amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial statements and related disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Accrued interest on the notes was payable semi-annually beginning September 30, 2022 at the rate of 6% per annum, but on August 23, 2022, the notes were amended to update the terms of the interest payment to be payable at the earlier of the maturity date or January 1, 2025, rather than being paid semi-annually. The principal amount of the notes mature and become due and payable on April 8, 2025. The warrants are exercisable immediately and for a period of 10 years at a price of $2.35 per share. Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the securities were $3,700,000. The Company may redeem outstanding warrants prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per share, provided that the volume weighted average sale price per share of common

stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the third business day prior to the mailing of notice of such redemption. Assuming full exercise thereof, further proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the warrant shares is calculated as $2,173,750. The offering closed simultaneously with execution of the purchase agreement. Of the aggregate $3,700,000 of notes, a total of $3,120,000 of notes were sold to officers or directors, along with 780,000 of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was allocated to debt discount and amortized as interest over the term of the notes.

Leases

The Company leases a 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two five-year options to extend, with a current monthly lease rate of $10,967, with approximately 3% annual escalation of lease payments.

Note 4 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 our notes payable met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and qualified for treatment as permanent equity. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at the fair market value determined at issuance date, and are not remeasured after that. 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 judgement 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.

Depreciation of property and equipment was $166,995 and $76,218 of which, $157,457 and $0 was allocated to cost of goods sold, for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 8 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 leases its 20,945 square foot facility under a non-cancelable real property lease agreement that expires on August 31, 2025, with two five-year options to extend, at a monthly lease rate of $10,036, with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021, under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb, the Company's Executive Chairman, is the landlord. The facility lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for the lease at the time of commencement was 5.75%.

On July 1, 2023, the Company leased additional warehouse space in Irving, Texas, of approximately 9,000 feet under a 37-month lease at a rate of $8,456 per month, with approximately a 4% annual escalation of lease payments. The facility lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for the lease at the time of commencement was 8%.

On October 26, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Prologis, Inc., a Maryland corporation, which the Company intends to use as production space. The Company leased approximately 51,264 square feet in Dallas, Texas for an initial term of approximately five years and two months. The lease commenced on November 1, 2023. The base rent payments started at approximately $42,500 per month in the first year, and increase each year, up to approximately $51,700 per month during the last year

of the initial term. The Company is also responsible for operating expenses of the premises, which start at $7,835 per month, with an annual escalation of 4.3%. As a deposit on the lease, the Company is required to provide a letter of credit to the Landlord in the amount of $300,000. The lease may be extended for a period of five years, at the option of the Company, at a rate to be based on a fair market rent rate determined at the time of the extension. The incremental borrowing rate for the lease at the time of commencement was 9.38%.

On January 19, 2024, Sow Good Inc., the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Papsa Merx S. de R.S. de C.V., a corporation registered in Mexico City, Mexico. Pursuant to the terms of the Sublease Agreement, the Company will sublease approximately 141 rentable square meters at Av. Roble 660, Valle del Campestre, 66265 San Pedro Garza García Municipality, Nuevo León, 66269 for a term of approximately seventeen months, which the Company intends to use as office space. The Term of the Lease Agreement commenced on February 1, 2024. The Sublease Agreement provides for rent payments at fixed price of $5,250 USD per month plus the corresponding Value Added Tax for the duration of the Term. The Company is also responsible for operating expenses of the Premises, which includes a maintenance fee, electricity and internet services. The Company is required to provide a deposit of guarantee in the amount of $5,250 USD in connection with the Sublease Agreement. The Sublease Agreement does not have a renewal period.

Note 15 Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

 

We had no provision for income taxes for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $42,686,953. Under existing Federal law, a portion of the net operating loss may be utilized to offset taxable income through the year ended December 31, 2037. A portion of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryover begins to expire in 2031. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, pursuant to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) net operating losses now carry forward indefinitely but are limited to offsetting 80%

of taxable income in a tax year. Of the total estimated net operating loss as of March 31, 2024 , approximately $18,966,124 of the Company’s NOL is subject to the TCJA net operating loss provisions.

 

ASC Topic 740 provides that a valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In 2023 the Company decreased its valuation allowance from $15,517,441 to $12,984,109to adjust for a decrease in the net estimated deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is decreasing its valuation allowance from $12,984,109 to $12,870,248 due to a decrease in the net estimated deferred tax assets. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of the remaining net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company filed annual US Federal income tax returns and annual income tax returns for the state of Minnesota through 2020. Following the 2020 tax year, the Company has filed annual state franchise tax returns for the state of Texas. We are not subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 for all returns. Income taxing authorities have conducted no formal examinations of our past federal or state income tax returns and supporting records.

Note 16 Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date of this report (the day the financial statements were available to be issued) for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has not identified any items requiring recognition or disclosure, except as follows:

Public offering

On May 2, 2024, the Company priced its registered underwritten public offering of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 at a price of $10.00 per share. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day overallotment option to purchase up to 180,000 additional shares of common stock (the "Additional Shares") and issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock. On May 1, 2024, the Company received approval to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market stock exchange ("Nasdaq”). Trading on Nasdaq commenced on May 2, 2024. On May 9, 2024, the underwriters

28


SOW GOOD INC.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

purchased all of the Additional Shares pursuant to the full exercise of their overallotment option. Including proceeds from the Additional Shares, the aggregate gross proceeds from the public offering were approximately $13.8 million before offering expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions.

Warrant Exercise Transaction

On April 15, 2024, the Company issued 2,186,250 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants that were issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (the “Warrants”), with exercise prices varying from $2.21 to $2.60 (the “Warrant Exercise”). None of the Warrants were amended prior to or in connection with the Warrant Exercise. Each of the exercising holders of warrants (collectively, the “Holders”), received its warrants in connection with the incurrence by the Company of indebtedness pursuant to various tranches of promissory notes issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Warrants were classified as permanent equity at inception. Due to a redemption feature in the Warrants allowing the Company to redeem the Warrants for $0.001 per Warrant if the daily volume weighted average price per share over thirty consecutive trading days is above $9.00, the Company received indications of intent to exercise Warrants from various Holders given the recent increase in trading price of the Company's common stock. With authorization from the Company's Board of Directors, each of the Holders was provided an opportunity to, and agreed to, amend certain of such Holder’s Notes (the “Notes Amendment”) to allow for the partial prepayment of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the exercise price of such Holder’s Warrants. In addition to the Notes Amendment, certain of the Holders elected use a portion of the accrued but unpaid interest under such Holder’s Notes to pay the exercise price of the Warrants. Certain of the Notes were repaid in full as a result of the Warrant Exercise and thereby did not need to be amended pursuant to the Notes Amendment (the Warrant Exercise, whether by partial or full repayment of principal, or by election to use a portion of accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes, together with the Notes Amendment, the “Warrant Exercise Transaction”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise Transaction, excluding the impact of deferred debt costs, the Company’s debt was reduced by $5,200,362.50, accrued interest payable was reduced by $98,750.00, common equity was increased by $5,299,112.50 and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,186,250 shares of common stock.

 

Certain of the Notes totaling $3,620,000 were fully repaid and the related debt discounts of $696,502 will be fully expensed as a loss on the extinguishment of debt in the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company for the second quarter of 2024. The Notes subject to the Notes Amendment were partially repaid, this payment totaled $1,580,363, and the ratable portion of the related debt discounts totaling $215,773 will be included as amortized interest in the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company for the second quarter of 2024. The remaining debt discounts will continue to be amortized as interest over the remaining term of the Notes. The Notes Amendment only allowed for the partial prepayment of principal and did not change any other terms of the Notes, and the present value of expected cash flows over the remaining life of the Notes remains substantially unchanged by the modification of these Notes.

 

Employment Agreement with Interim Chief Financial Officer

On April 15, 2024, the authorized members of the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and entered into an Employment Agreement dated April 15, 2024 with Brendon Fischer, the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer ("Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement supersedes Mr. Fischer’s offer letter and includes the approved compensation terms as well as restrictive covenants, a release and the severance terms described in more detail below. The Employment Agreement provides for Mr. Fischer’s entitlement to receive an annual base salary of $225,000. Additionally, the Employment Agreement provides for Mr. Fischer’s entitlement to a grant of 22,500 stock options, representing the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to Mr. Fischer’s continuous service to the Company through each vesting date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated historical financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in the discussion contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.

Overview and Outlook

Sow Good is a trailblazing U.S.-based freeze dried candy and snack manufacturer dedicated to providing consumers with innovative and explosively flavorful freeze dried treats. Sow Good has harnessed the power of our proprietary freeze drying technology and product-specialized manufacturing facility to transform traditional candy into a novel and exciting everyday confectionaries subcategory that we call freeze dried candy. We began commercializing our freeze dried candy products in the first quarter of 2023, and as of March 31, 2024, we have fifteen stock keeping units (“SKUs”) in our Sow Good Candy line of treats and four SKUs in our Sow Good Crunch Cream line. We sell our treats using an omnichannel strategy primarily focused on the wholesale and retail channels with less than 2% of sales coming from e-commerce as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, our treats are offered for sale in over 5,850 brick-and-mortar retail outlets in the United States. The rapid demand growth for our delectable treats since their retail debut in March 2023 highlights our consumers’ excitement for our novel and explosively flavorful treats that “satisfy your sweet tooth in fewer bites.”

We have custom-built a 20,945 square foot freeze drying facility in Irving, Texas, and have entered into additional co-manufacturing arrangements in China and Colombia, that together allow us to freeze dry up to fourteen million units per year to our demanding quality and safety specifications. Freeze drying removes up to 99% of moisture from a product in its frozen state by applying a small amount of heat in an extremely low air pressure, near outer space-like environment, through the use of massive vacuum chambers, resulting in moisture being removed from the product at the speed of sound. This process of removing moisture from the product, which can take up to twenty-four hours, concentrates its flavor, creating a “hyper dried, hyper crunchy, and hyper flavorful” snackable treat. Our commitment to providing the most flavorful and crunchy treats extends into the product packaging process, where our employees are dedicated to hand-packaging put our treats through our hand-packed precision packaging process in vigilantly managed low humidity conditions to protect our treats from reintroduction to moisture.

We have built five bespoke freeze driers using proprietary technology tailored specifically to our products, creating a truly state-of-the-art facility in Irving, Texas. We are in the process of fabricating and operationalizing our sixth freeze drier, which we anticipate will come online in our Irving, Texas facility in the third quarter of 2024. We have placed deposits on three additional freeze driers, which we aim to have operational within the next nine months. In addition, due to strong customer demand, we have entered into co-manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers whose freeze drying facilities meet our exacting production, sanitation and allergen control requirements, as well as our food quality and safety standards. Currently, all of our products manufactured by third parties are shipped to our facilities in Texas for packaging. However, we are actively searching for additional packaging facilities and additional internal freeze driers for further increased capacity.

Sow Good is led by co-founders Claudia and Ira Goldfarb, who have over a decade of manufacturing experience with an extensive freeze drying background, dedication to job creation, and proven track record of identifying and growing niche trends into everyday categories. Under their leadership, our revenues have grown from $198.9 thousand thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to approximately $11.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

We believe the candy category is stagnant, repetitive, and in need of revitalization to reengage and captivate consumers seeking innovative ways to satisfy their sweet cravings. We see our market opportunity as existing at the intersection of two burgeoning categories: freeze dried candy and non-chocolate confections. According to the NCA, the non-chocolate confections market grew 13.8% in sales in 2022, exceeding $10 billion, and according to Grand View Research is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. We believe the nascent freeze dried candy market is poised for exponential growth given increasing consumer preferences for novel and distinctive candy products. According to the NCA, approximately 61% of shoppers occasionally or frequently seek out products they have never purchased before. Given our exceptional performance in retail launches, surging customer demand, and increasing production capacity, we are confident that we can catapult freeze dried candy from a trendy spark on social media to a stable, top-performing consumer confectionary category in retail.

Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers, such as Five Below, Target, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Big Lots, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, and Circle K. In addition, we sell a substantial portion of our products through distributors such as Redstone Foods, CB Distributors and Alpine Foods. We believe there is a significant growth opportunity in increasing our shelf presence, SKU portfolio, and number of stores with our existing customers. For

30


many of these customers, we launched with a limited number of SKUs and are now significantly outpacing initial sales projections. As we scale production, we will have the ability to increase the availability of our products to these customers in current locations and distribution to more of their stores, while also broadening our SKU portfolio offerings. Bolstering our distribution will be a key growth driver for Sow Good so more of our products are available wherever our consumers choose to shop, whether it be a retail store, convenience store, or directly online. To further support our retail launches with existing customers and strengthen our brand name, we are also introducing our product displays with distinctive designs and product highlights to enhance our visibility in current stores and educate new consumers on the advantages of freeze dried treats. We believe this strategy will capture the attention of new consumers, further educate and attract current consumers, and ultimately, increase sales for our retailers.

Our highly differentiated omnichannel distribution strategy has three key components: retailers, e-commerce, and distributors. In aggregate, this omnichannel strategy provides us with a diverse set of consumers and customer partners, leading to a larger TAM opportunity than is normally available to products sold only in grocery stores, along with an opportunity to develop a direct relationship with our customers at our website, www.thisissowgood.com. This platform is already set up but with some items set as out of stock until we have additional production capacity.

Key Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe the growth of our business and our future success is dependent upon many factors. While the factors and trends described below present significant opportunities for us, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address to enable us to sustain the growth of our business and improve our results of operations. These factors and trends in our business have driven fluctuations in revenues over the periods presented and are expected to be key drivers of our results of operations and liquidity position for the foreseeable future.

Ability to Meet Customer Demand through Production Capacity Expansion

Our customers consistently seek higher quantities of our treats than we can supply. In order for us to meet existing demand, we are actively expanding our internal production capacity and co-manufacturing arrangements. The speed and efficiency at which we are able to expand our production capacity, either internally or through co-manufacturing arrangements, will impact our results of operations. Our ability to grow and meet future demand will be affected by our ability to properly plan for additional production capacity and co-manufacturing arrangements.

Consumer Trends

We compete in the freeze dried candy and non-chocolate confections segments of the greater food industry. According to the NCA, the non-chocolate confections market grew 13.8% in sales in 2022, exceeding $10 billion, and according to Grand View Research is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. We believe the nascent freeze dried candy market is poised for exponential growth given increasing consumer preferences for novel and distinctive candy products. According to the NCA, approximately 61% of shoppers occasionally or frequently seek out products they have never purchased before. While we believe our products are designed to provide alternatives for consumers looking for innovative treats, we also believe our candy products have broad appeal due to our uncompromising approach to developing a product line suited to a wide base of consumer tastes. We believe our ability to attract the robust and growing consumer base seeking the novel, crunchy and hyper flavorful experience our products provide will allow us to add distribution points with our retail customers and increase our revenues, which we believe will help us scale and increase our gross margin from sales of our products.

Ability to Grow Our Customer Base in Retail and Traditional Wholesale Distribution Channels

We are currently growing our customer base in a variety of physical retail and traditional wholesale distribution channels. Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers, such as Five Below, Target, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Big Lots, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, and Circle K. In addition, we sell a substantial portion of our products through distributors such as Redstone, CB Distributors and Alpine Foods. We continue to increase our shelf presence, SKU portfolio and number of stores with existing customers. In addition, given the nascent state of the freeze dried candy segment and the number of potential retailer and wholesaler customers, we also believe there is a significant growth opportunity with customer acquisition in both the retail and wholesale channels. Customer acquisition in these channels depends on, among other things, our go-to-market function and our ability to meet the demand of customers who require large volumes of products.

31


Ability to Optimize Our Liquidity Position While Scaling

Our primary focus is developing our production capacity, which requires significant working capital for inventory and supply chain management, and capital expenditures for additional freeze driers domestically and our expansion outside the United States. Our ability to effectively manage our liquidity position while increasing production capabilities will impact our cash flow and capitalization, including the need for additional working capital through future equity offerings or debt arrangements.

Growth of Our Team

As of March 31, 2024 , we had 201 full-time personnel who work across various functional areas within our business, including manufacturing, sales, marketing, and administration.

We have significantly expanded our manufacturing and accounting functions, as well as our executive team, to support our rapid growth, particularly since March 2023. Growing our production capacity has accounted for a majority of the increase in employee headcount over that period as we scale our self-manufacturing capacity at our Irving, Texas facility, and we anticipate that commencing operations at additional facilities will continue to accelerate this growth. As we expand our manufacturing capacity and corporate functions, our headcount will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we have increased, and will continue to increase our accounting headcount as a result of the ever increasing demands as a public reporting company.

We also expect to continue to increase our headcount across various functional areas as we expand our business operations, which could substantially increase our selling and distribution expense, marketing expense, and administrative expense. The anticipated increase in the size of our workforce may also require us to expand our current facilities or obtain new facilities, which will in turn necessitate additional capital expenditures and further increase our operational expense. However, while we expect to grow our headcount over time, we may experience challenges hiring and retaining a sufficient number of employees.

Ability to Expand Our Product Line

Our goal is to substantially expand our product line over time to increase our growth opportunity and reduce product-specific risks through SKU diversification into multiple products. Our pace of growth will be partially affected by the cadence and magnitude of new product launches over time. We believe the commercialization of these new products will require us to hire additional employees within our product design and commercialization team, thereby increasing our marketing expense, as well as research and development costs within our administrative expense.

Impact of inflation on operations.

We expect supplies and prices of the ingredients that we are going to use to be affected by a variety of factors, such as weather, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the producing countries. These factors subject us to shortages or interruptions in product supplies, which could adversely affect our revenue and profits. In addition, we may face limits on the ability to source some of the candy for our freeze dried candy products.

Seasonality

Because we are early in our lifecycle of growth, it is difficult to discern the exact magnitude of seasonality affecting our business. While any evidence of seasonality is currently not discernable because of our growth, we anticipate certain holiday cycles such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day contributing to revenue fluctuations within a given year.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive revenues from the sales of our freeze dried treats.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of facilities costs, material costs, and labor on the production of freeze dried treats.

32


Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, which includes salaries and benefits expenses, professional services expenses and other general and administrative expenses, intangible asset impairment losses and goodwill impairment losses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase as our business grows.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of the cash interest expense on outstanding debt and the amortization of the debt discount created upon the issuance of warrants in connection with debt.

Provision for Income Taxes

Due to our history of operating losses and expectation of future operating losses, we do not expect any significant income tax expenses and benefits for the foreseeable future.

Segment Overview

Our chief operating decision makers, who are our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Chairman, review financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization. For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we have determined that we have one operating segment and one reportable segment.

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were $6.8 million, compared to $84.0 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $6.7 million, or 7,967%. Cost of goods sold, primarily consisted of material costs and labor on the sales of freeze dried candy products. Cost of goods sold increased as we began to realize economies of scale pursuant to our increased sales.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $4.6 million, compared to approximately $114.9 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of approximately $4.5 million, or 3,928%. Our gross profit increased primarily due to significantly increased revenues. Our gross profit margin was 41% during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Gross profit margin decreased over the comparative period due to higher labor and production costs associated with the increase in sales and production scale.

Operating Expenses

 

Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and benefits for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were $2.4 million, compared to $511.6 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.8 million, or 360%. Salaries and benefits included stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $15.1 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.1 million. Stock-based compensation consists of stock options expense for employees and officers of the Company. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to the amortization of stock options granted in December 2023.

Professional Services

General and administrative expenses related to professional services were $467.8 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $46.2 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $421.6 thousand, or 912%. The increase was primarily due to increased professional service expenses as the Company scaled up the business and invested in system and process improvements in anticipation of being listed on Nasdaq, and legal and accounting fees in connection with our underwritten public offering.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

Other general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were $872.3 thousand, compared to $384.1 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $488.2 thousand, or 127%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $282.0 thousand, or 855%, of share compensation to members of the Board of Directors which totaled $314.8 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $33.0 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in addition to increases in costs related to administrative infrastructure as we seek to scale the production and sales of our freeze dried products.

Depreciation

Depreciation of property and equipment for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $166,995 and $76,218 of which, $157,457 and $0 was allocated to cost of goods sold, for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which resulted in net depreciation expense of $9.5 thousand and $76.2 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreased expense was due to the increased allocation of depreciation to cost of goods sold as production and sales increased over the prior year comparative period.

Other Income (Expense)

In the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, other expense consisting of interest expense derived from operating loans and the amortization of warrants issued as a debt discount of $418.7 thousand and $498.3 thousand respectively, the decrease is related to a $100.4 thousand decrease in amortization of debt discounts, partially offset by an increase in interest on notes payable of $20.1 thousand.

34


Net Loss

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $510.6 thousand, compared to net loss of $1.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase in earnings of $1.9 million, or 136%. The transition to net income from net loss was primarily due the increase in gross profit of $4.5 million, or 3,928% and increased operating expenses of only $2.7 million or 263%, mainly as a result of the conversion to freeze dried candy products after the first quarter of 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company had no income tax expense in the 2024 or 2023 periods, as we maintain a full valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax assets, primarily due to our historical net loss position. Due to our history of operating losses and expectation of future operating losses, we do not expect any significant income tax expenses or benefits for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2024, we had working capital of $9.7 million, compared to working capital of $4.5 million as of March 31, 2023. The increased working capital is mainly attributable to increases in cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, partially offset by increased accounts payable. As of March 31, 2024, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $6.8 million, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2023. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures related to the development and operation of our freeze dried candy business. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on hand and additional financing in the form of equity or debt as needed. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

 

On May 2, 2024 we priced a registered underwritten public offering of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. On May 9, the underwriters exercised an overallotment option for the purchase of an additional 180,000 shares of our common stock. Together with the sale of the additional shares sold pursuant to the overallotment option, the offering yielded approximately $13.8 million in gross proceeds.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.

37


Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Commodity Price Risk

We do not expect any significant effects from commodity price risk outside of inherent inflationary risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We are not a party to agreements that subject us to floating rates of interest and do not anticipate entering into any transactions that would expose us to any direct interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

We did not hold any cash in foreign jurisdictions as of March 31, 2024. However, we anticipate that as our foreign operations grow, we will hold more cash in foreign jurisdictions, particularly Mexico, Colombia and China, and thereby expose ourselves to greater currency fluctuation risk than we currently experience.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on her evaluation as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer, Claudia Goldfarb, and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Brendon Fischer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives and to ensure the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
