**Item 1. Business.**

**Company Overview** 

Splash is a portfolio company managing multiple brands across several growth segments within the consumer beverage industry. Splash has built organizational capabilities and an infrastructure enabling it to incubate and/or acquire brands with the intention of efficiently accelerating them to higher volumes. The management team has proven capabilities in building consumer franchises and marketing and distributing multiple brands of beverages within the non-alcoholic and alcoholic segments. Manufacturing is typically outsourced to third party co-packers and distillers, or in select cases for a brand such as Copa Di Vino wines, performed within our own facility in Oregon.

We believe the distribution landscape in the beverage industry is changing rapidly as tech-enabled e-commerce business models are thriving. Direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction in the future. To address this opportunity Splash continues to shape its operating model to be vertically integrated building an e-commerce platform, Qplash, which purchases local and regional brands for developing a direct line of sales to small retail stores.

Splash's wholly owned subsidiary, Splash Beverage Group II, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name TapouT Beverages, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring the rights under a license agreement with TapouT, LLC (Authentic Brands Group). Splash has license rights to the TapouT Performance brand in North America (Including US Territories and Military Bases), United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, Scandinavia, Peru, Colombia, Chile and Guatemala.

In addition, Splash has a joint venture with SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila, Copa Di Vino wines and Pulpoloco, sangrias that comes in a biodegradable can.

The Company leadership understand the importance of infusing beverage brands with strong pop culture and lifestyle elements which drives trial, belief and, most importantly, repeat purchases.

The management team led by Robert Nistico has over 28 years of experience in all levels of the three-tier distribution system used in the beverage industry working on brands such as Red Bull and companies such as Gallo Winery and RNCC Texas. The President & CMO, Bill Meissner, has led major beverage brands as Sparkling Ice, Fuze, Sweet Leaf Tea and Jones Soda. The CFO, Ron Wall, has over 25 years of experience in the alcohol beverage industry with Diageo and William Grant & Sons. The Senior Vice President of Sales, James Allred, has 25+ years' experience in the beverage industry predominately with Anheuser-Busch.

**Our Strategy**

Our strategy is to combine the traditional approach of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of beverages, with early-stage brands that have a reasonable level of pre-existing brand awareness and market presence, or have attributes that we believe to be purely innovative. We believe this allows us to break through the clutter of numerous brand introductions and dilute risk. This philosophy is applied regardless of whether the brand is 100% owned or a joint venture.

For acquisition or joint venture consideration, we prefer to work with brands that already have one or more of the following in place:

● Some level of preexisting brand awareness

● Regional presence that can be expanded

● Licensing an existing brand name (TapouT for example)

● Add to an underdeveloped and/or growing category capitalizing on consumer trends

● Innovation to an existing attractive category (such as flavored tequila)

● A near term clear path to profitability

We believe this model provides us with two paths to success: one, developing our wholly owned core brands and two, the ability to tap into high growth, early-stage brands ready to scale. This platform allows us to significantly reduce development expense while simultaneously increasing efficiencies for all brands in our portfolio.

Our management team has over 120 years of combined experience in the beverage industry, including decades of successful brand introductions by our management team (Gallo, Red Bull, Bacardi, Diageo, Sparkling Ice, Jones Soda, FUZE Beverage, NOS Energy, SoBe Beverages, Muscle Milk, Marley Beverages), we believe our ability to break through the distribution and retail bottlenecks makes us an attractive joint venture partner to many new brand owners.

Splash has the ability to fully own a brand or be flexible to engage in business ventures structured with a revenue split, or an equity position.

The benefit to Splash in these shared brand ownerships is the ability to avoid the development costs for new products. This model spreads our risk over several brands, contributes to our economies of scale, and improves our relationship with distributors and reduces the overall cost of infrastructure.

The Company also believe the distribution landscape in the beverage category is changing rapidly. Tech-enabled business models are thriving and direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction as beverage alcohol regulations evolve. A core strategy for us is to build onto the early success we're seeing with the Qplash online platform, our consumer-packaged goods retail division and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel.

**Products**

We currently produce, distribute and market SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila ("SALT"), a 100% agave 80 proof line of flavored tequilas, "TapouT Performance," a line of performance beverages that complete in the hydration and energy categories, Copa Di Vino single serve wine by the glass and import Pulpoloco Sangria in 3 flavors.

**E-commerce**

"Qplash" is a wholly owned division of Splash. It is our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel. The division sells beverages online through *www.qplash.com*, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com. Inside of the division, there are two primary customer groups: business to business retailers, which in turn offer the products to their customers, and business to consumer, selling direct to end users. This program allows businesses to control inventory, order with payment terms, and offer the convenience of delivery directly to each store.

Currently Qplash offers over 1,500 listings and have warehouses that ship from both California and Pennsylvania.

**Discontinued Business - Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.**

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. ("CMS") is a provider of home medical equipment, supplies and services (which relate to the equipment sales) in Ohio's Mahoning Valley, Western Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia, with an emphasis on providing for patients with mobility-related limitations who have had strokes, hip or knee replacements, and other surgeries after they are discharged from a hospital or rehab center. CMS is a legacy segment of the business and in December 2020, management discontinued operations and the business was sold in the second Quarter of 2022.

**Our Competitive Strengths**

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to Company's success and differentiate us from our competitors:

● An established distribution network through global sales channels;

● A hybrid distribution model that leverages multiple routes to market, including national chains, independent local markets and regional chains, and specialty food and C-Stores

● Long-term relationships with retailers and the establishment of chains;

● Premium customer service;

● Dynamic and sustainable product offerings of natural quality and freshness with health benefits;

● A highly experienced management team;

● Strategically selected, dedicated sales professionals;

● Qplash, our e-commerce platform, which provides us an integrated distribution platform for our non-alcoholic brands;

● Ability to execute and distribute across many geographies, on behalf of our licensed brand portfolio;

● Strong brand awareness through partnerships and acquisitions of brands with pre-existing brand awareness or viewed as truly innovative; and

● Celebrity and professional athlete endorsement of our brands.

**Manufacturing and Co-packing**

We are responsible for the manufacturing of Copa di Vino, TapouT Performance and SALT. The Copa di Vino product line is bottled at our manufacturing facility in The Dalles, Oregon. Pulpoloco is imported from Spain as a finished product.

Although we are responsible for manufacturing TapouT Performance and SALT, we do not directly manufacture these products, but instead outsource such manufacturing to third party bottlers and contract packers.

Our TapouT Performance and Salt products are manufactured in the United States and Mexico under separate arrangements with each party. Our co-packaging arrangements are terminable upon request and do not obligate us to produce any minimum quantities of products within specified periods.

We purchase concentrates, flavors, dietary ingredients, cans, bottles, caps, labels, and other components and ingredients for our beverage products from our suppliers, which are delivered to our manufacturing operations and various third-party bottlers and co-packers. In some cases, certain common supplies may be purchased by our various third-party bottlers and co-packers. Depending on the product, the third-party bottlers or packers add filtered water and/or other ingredients (including dietary ingredients) for the manufacture and packaging of the finished products into our approved containers in accordance with our formulas.

**Distribution**

We operate within what is referred to as a "Three Tier Distribution System" where manufacturers do not typically sell directly to retailers, but instead contract for local and regional distribution with independent distributors. These distributors typically have geographic rights to distribute major beverage brands and call on every store in a given area such as major cities or regions. Our management team has extensive experience working within this channel and believes that we will be successful in building a strong network of these distributors.

In addition to working with these independent distributors, we also have distribution arrangements with national retail accounts to distribute some of our products directly through their warehouse operations. Most notably, SBG executed a distribution agreement with AB-InBev, for distribution with their owned operations, AB ONE. This provides SBG very effective distribution capabilities.

**Employees**

We have 40 full-time employees, including non-officer employees and our executive officers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

**Listing on the NYSE American**

Our common stock and warrants are listed on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbols "SBEV" and "SBEV WT," respectively.

**Corporate Information**

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS**

**Risks Related to our Business**

***Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the lingering impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic or other epidemics and outbreaks.***

 ****

The COVID-19 pandemic had disrupted and affected our business operations, which has led to business and supply chain disruptions. The lingering effects of the pandemic are likely to continue to disrupt our business and supply chain in the future. For example, our ability to gain new retail authorizations could be impacted by restrictions in retail outlets and our ability to generate sales and brand awareness in bars and restaurants could be impacted if restrictions are place on these establishments. However, given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and its variants, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict, whether any government-imposed restrictions will be reimposed at previous levels or enhanced in one or more ways impacting our business operations or those of third parties upon which we rely. The COVID-19 pandemic, including associated business interruptions and recovery, as well as other possible epidemics or outbreaks of other contagions could result in a material adverse impact on our or our current or anticipated customers' or suppliers' business operations, including reduction or suspension of operations in the U.S. or other parts of the world. Our design and engineering operations, among others, cannot all be conducted remotely and often require on-site access to materials and equipment. We have customers, suppliers, and partners with international operations, and our customers, suppliers, and partners also depend on suppliers and manufacturers worldwide, which means that our business and prospects could be affected by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic anywhere in the world. Depending upon the duration of the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated business interruptions, our customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and partners may suspend or delay their engagements with us. We and our customers' and suppliers' response to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may prove to be inadequate and they may be unable to continue their respective operations in the manner they had prior to the outbreak or the worsening of the outbreak, and we may consequently endure interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our product development, and shipments, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, we cannot assure you as to the timing of the economic recovery given the lingering effects of the pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our target markets and our business.

***If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.***

We have sustained recurring losses and we have had a working capital and stockholders' equity deficits. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financings or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

***We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.***

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations and generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The size of our losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures and our ability to generate revenues. We incurred a net loss of $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our accumulated deficit increased to $112.3 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to the prior year's deficit of $90.6 million.

We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our financial condition. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance and our revenues do not increase significantly, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

***If we are not able to successfully execute on our future operating plans and objectives, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.***

It is important that we meet our sales goals and increase sales going forward as our operating plan already reflects prior significant cost containment measures and may make it difficult to achieve top-line growth if further significant reductions become necessary. If we do not meet our sales goals, our available cash and working capital will decrease and our financial condition will be negatively impacted.

In order to be successful, we believe that we must, among other things:

● increase the sales volume and gross margins for our products;

● maintain efficiencies in operations;

● manage our operating expenses to sufficiently support operating activities;

● maintain fixed costs at or near current levels; and

● avoid significant increases in variable costs relating to production, marketing and distribution.

We may not be able to meet these objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have incurred significant operating expenses in the past and may do so again in the future and, as a result, will need to increase revenues in order to improve our results of operations. Our ability to increase sales will depend primarily on success in expanding our current markets, improving our distribution base, entering into Direct-To-Retail (DTR) arrangements with national accounts, and introducing new brands, products or product extensions to the market. Our ability to successfully enter new distribution areas and obtain national accounts will, in turn, depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the continued demand for our brands and products in target markets, the ability to price our products at competitive levels, the ability to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in each geographic area of distribution and the ability in the future to create, develop and successfully introduce one or more new brands, products, and product extensions.

***Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.***

Our beverage portfolio is comprised of a number of unique brands with reputations and consumer imagery that have been built over time. Our investments in marketing as well as our strong commitment to product quality are intended to have a favorable impact on brand image and consumer preferences. If we do not adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics, consumer and economic trends, health concerns and product preferences, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Additionally, failure to introduce new brands, products or product extensions into the marketplace as current ones mature and to meet the changing preferences of consumers could prevent us from gaining market share and achieving long-term profitability. Product lifecycles can vary and consumer preferences and loyalties change over time. Although we try to anticipate these shifts and innovate new products to introduce to our consumers, we may not succeed. Consumer preferences also are affected by factors other than taste, such as health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns, shifting consumer needs, changes in consumer lifestyles, increased consumer information and competitive product and pricing pressures. Sales of our products may be adversely affected by the negative publicity associated with these issues... If we do not adequately anticipate or adjust to respond to these and other changes in consumer preferences, we may not be able to maintain and grow our brand image and our sales may be adversely affected.

 ***Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.***

The principal raw materials we use include glass bottles, aluminum cans, labels and cardboard cartons, flavorings and sweeteners. These ingredient costs are subject to fluctuation. Substantial increases in the prices of our ingredients, raw materials and packaging materials, to the extent that they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, would increase our operating costs and could reduce our profitability. If our supply of these raw materials is impaired or if prices increase significantly, it could affect the affordability of our products and reduce sales.

If we are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including glass, sugar, and other key supplies, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.

***Changes in government regulation or failure to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our business and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those governing the production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution of beverage products. In addition, various governmental agencies have enacted or are considering additional taxes on soft drinks and other sweetened beverages. Changes in existing laws or regulations could require material expenses and negatively affect our financial results through lower sales or higher costs.

***We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.***

Our business is dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our target market, trendy, young consumers looking for a distinctive tonality in their beverage choices. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and retailers of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the revitalization and growth of our brand and product offerings, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Any failure of our brand to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results.

***Our brands and brand images are keys to our business and any inability to maintain a positive brand image could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.***

Our success depends on our ability to maintain brand image for our existing products and effectively build up brand image for new products and brand extensions. We cannot predict whether our advertising, marketing and promotional programs will have the desired impact on our products' branding and on consumer preferences. In addition, negative public relations and product quality issues, whether real or imagined, could tarnish our reputation and image of the affected brands and could cause consumers to choose other products. Our brand image can also be adversely affected by unfavorable reports, studies and articles, litigation, or regulatory or other governmental action, whether involving our products or those of our competitors.

***Competition from traditional and large, well-financed non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.***

The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products compete with all non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, most of which are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial resources than ours. Some of these competitors are placing severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry competitive brands such as ours. We also compete with regional beverage producers and "private label" hydration suppliers.

Increased competitor consolidations, market-place competition, particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If, due to such pressure or other competitive threats, we are unable to sufficiently maintain or develop our distribution channels, we may be unable to achieve our current revenue and financial targets. Competition, particularly from companies with greater financial and marketing resources than ours, could have a material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as on our ability to expand the market for our products.

***We may experience a reduced demand for some of our products due to health concerns (including obesity) and legislative initiatives against sweetened beverages.***

Consumers are concerned about health and wellness; public health officials and government officials are increasingly vocal about obesity and its consequences. There has been a trend among some public health advocates and dietary guidelines to recommend a reduction in sweetened beverages, as well as increased public scrutiny, new taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (as described below), and additional governmental regulations concerning the marketing and labeling/packing of the beverage industry. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, increasing public concern with respect to sweetened beverages could reduce demand for our beverages and increase desire for more low-calorie soft drinks, water, enhanced water, coffee-flavored beverages, tea, and beverages with natural sweeteners. We are continuously working to reduce calories and sugar in our TapouT products while launching new products, to pair with existing brand extensions that round out our diversified portfolio.

***Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.***

Taxes imposed on the sale of certain of our products by federal, state and local governments in the United States, or other countries in which we operate could cause consumers to shift away from purchasing our beverages. Several municipalities in the United States have implemented or are considering implementing taxes on the sale of certain "sugared" beverages, including non-diet soft drinks, fruit drinks, teas and flavored waters to help fund various initiatives. These taxes could materially affect our business and financial results.

***Our reliance on distributors, retailers and brokers could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.***

Our ability to maintain and expand our existing markets for our products, and to establish markets in new geographic distribution areas, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with reliable distributors, retailers and brokers strategically positioned to serve those areas. Most of our distributors, retailers and brokers sell and distribute competing products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may represent a small portion of their businesses. The success of this network will depend on the performance of the distributors, retailers and brokers of this network. There is a risk that the mentioned entities may not adequately perform their functions within the network by, without limitation, failing to distribute to sufficient retailers or positioning our products in localities that may not be receptive to our product. Our ability to incentivize and motivate distributors to manage and sell our products is affected by competition from other beverage companies who have greater resources than we do. To the extent that our distributors, retailers and brokers are distracted from selling our products or do not employ sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, including re-stocking the retail shelves with our products, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, such third-parties' financial position or market share may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our distribution, marketing and sales activities.

Our ability to maintain and expand our distribution network and attract additional distributors, retailers and brokers will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include:

● the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular distribution area;

● our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those of competing products; and

● our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors, retailers and brokers.

We may not be able to successfully manage all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Our inability to achieve success with regards to any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain or expand our market, which will likely adversely affect our revenues and financial results.

***It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.***

Our independent distributors and national accounts are not required to place minimum monthly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, independent distributors typically order products from us on a "just in time" basis in quantities and at such times based on the demand for the products in a particular distribution area. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or whether any of our distributors will continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Additionally, our larger distributors and national partners may make orders that are larger than we have historically been required to fill. Shortages in inventory levels, supply of raw materials or other key supplies could negatively affect us.

***If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.***

We need to maintain adequate inventory levels to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply depends on our ability to correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

***If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.***

We do not manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). We do not own the plants or the majority of the equipment required to manufacture and package our beverage products, and we do not anticipate bringing the manufacturing process in-house in the future. Our ability to maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers and other third parties for the production and delivery of our beverage products in a particular geographic distribution area is important to the success of our operations within each distribution area. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with current contract manufacturers or establish satisfactory relationships with new or replacement contract manufacturers, whether in existing or new geographic distribution areas. The failure to establish and maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers for a distribution area could increase our manufacturing costs and thereby materially reduce gross profits from the sale of our products in that area. Poor relations with any of our contract manufacturers could adversely affect the amount and timing of product delivered to our distributors for resale, which would in turn adversely affect our revenues and financial condition. In addition, our agreements with our contract manufacturers are terminable at any time, and any such termination could disrupt our ability to deliver products to our customers.

***The volatility of energy and increased regulations may have an adverse impact on our gross margin.***

Over the past few years, volatility in the global oil markets has resulted in variable fuel prices, which many shipping companies have passed on to their customers by way of higher base pricing and increased fuel surcharges. If fuel prices increase, we expect to experience higher shipping rates and fuel surcharges, as well as energy surcharges on our raw materials. It is hard to predict what will happen in the fuel markets in 2021 and beyond. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we may not be able to pass such increases on to our customers.

***Disruption within our supply chain, contract manufacturing or distribution channels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our ability, through our suppliers, business partners, contract manufacturers, independent distributors and retailers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our suppliers or to manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics such as influenza COVID-19, labor strikes or other reasons, could impair the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. Many of these events are outside of our control. Failure to take adequate steps to protect against or mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We rely upon our ongoing relationships with our key flavor suppliers. If we are unable to source our flavors on acceptable terms from our key suppliers, we could suffer disruptions in our business.***

We currently purchase our flavor concentrate from various flavor concentrate suppliers, and continually develop other sources of flavor concentrate for each of our products. Generally, flavor suppliers hold the proprietary rights to their flavor specific ingredients. Although we have the exclusive rights to flavor concentrates developed with our current flavor concentrate suppliers, and while we have the rights to the ingredients for our products, we do not have the list of ingredients for our flavor extracts and concentrates. Consequently, we may be unable to obtain these exact flavors or concentrates from alternative suppliers on short notice. If we have to replace a flavor supplier, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

***If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.***

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in such areas as finance, sales, marketing and product development. We compete to hire new employees, and, in some cases, must train them and develop their skills and competencies. We may not be able to provide our employees with competitive salaries, and our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

Changes to operations, policies and procedures, which can often occur with the appointment of new personnel, can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods are often difficult as the new employees gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution.

Further, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, our operations, financial condition and employee morale could be negatively impacted. In addition, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer.

***If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade secrets, we may be unable to successfully market our products and compete effectively.***

We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, copyrights, licenses and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success, and we actively pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and internationally. However, the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights may not be adequate and may not prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our trademarks, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may seek to assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably exploit our products or recoup our associated research and development costs.

As part of the licensing strategy of our brands, we enter into licensing agreements under which we grant our licensing partners certain rights to use our trademarks and other designs. Although our agreements require that the use of our trademarks and designs is subject to our control and approval, any breach of these provisions, or any other action by any of our licensing partners that is harmful to our brands, goodwill and overall image, could have a material adverse impact on our business.

***We may be required in the future to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired.***

Under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we are required to review our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable include, declining or slower than anticipated growth rates for certain of our existing products, a decline in stock price and market capitalization, and slower growth rates in our industry.

We may be required in the future to record a significant charge to earnings during the period in which we determine that our intangible assets have been impaired. Any such charge would adversely impact our results of operations. As of December 31, 2022, our intangible assets totaled approximately $5.81million.

***If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.***

Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect brand image.

***Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.***

The production, marketing and sale of our beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production batch or "run" is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we cannot anticipate whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

***Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products.***

Various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of our products. These types of requirements, if they become applicable to one or more of our products under current or future environmental or health laws or regulations, may inhibit sales of such products. In California, a law requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a component listed by the state as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. This law recognizes no generally applicable quantitative thresholds below which a warning is not required. If a component found in one of our products is added to the list, or if the increasing sensitivity of detection methodology that may become available under this law and related regulations as they currently exist, or as they may be amended, results in the detection of an infinitesimal quantity of a listed substance in one of our beverages produced for sale in California, the resulting warning requirements or adverse publicity could affect our sales.

***Litigation or legal could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.***

We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.

Additionally, there has been public attention directed at the beverage alcohol industry, which we believe is due to concern over problems related to harmful use of alcohol, including drinking and driving, underage drinking and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol. We could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product liability or marketing or sales practices with respect to our alcoholic products. Adverse developments in lawsuits concerning these types of matters or a significant decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products that may result from lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

***We are subject to risks inherent in sales of products in international markets.***

Our operations outside of the United States, contribute to our revenue and profitability, and we believe that developing and emerging markets could present future growth opportunities for us. However, there can be no assurance that existing or new products that we manufacture, distribute or sell will be accepted or be successful in any particular foreign market, due to local or global competition, product price, cultural differences, and consumer preferences or otherwise. There are many factors that could adversely affect demand for our products in foreign markets, including our inability to attract and maintain key distributors in these markets; volatility in the economic growth of certain of these markets; changes in economic, political or social conditions, the status and renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement, imposition of new or increased labeling, product or production requirements, or other legal restrictions; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; inflationary currency, devaluation or fluctuation; increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations. If we are unable to effectively operate or manage the risks associated with operating in international markets, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.

 ***Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity.***

Water is a main ingredient in substantially all of our products, is vital to the production of the agricultural ingredients on which our business relies and is needed in our manufacturing process. It also is critical to the prosperity of the communities we serve. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water, increasing pollution and emerging awareness of potential contaminants, poor management, lack of physical or financial access to water, sociopolitical tensions due to lack of public infrastructure in certain areas of the world and the effects of climate change. As the demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as water becomes scarcer and the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur higher costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.

***Fluctuations in quantity and quality of grape supply could adversely affect our business.***

A shortage in the supply of quality grapes may result from a variety of factors that determine the quality and quantity of our grape supply, including weather conditions, pruning methods, diseases and pests, the ability to buy grapes on long and short-term contracts and the number of vines producing grapes. Any shortage in grape production could cause a reduction in the amount of wine we are able to produce, which could reduce sales and adversely impact our results from operations. Factors that reduce the quantity of our grapes may also reduce their quality, which in turn could reduce the quality or amount of wine we produce. Deterioration in the quality of our wines could harm our brand name, reduce sales and adversely impact our business and results of operations.

***Contamination of our wines could harm our business.***

We are subject to certain hazards and product liability risks, such as potential contamination, through tampering or otherwise, of ingredients or products. Contamination of any of our wines could force us to destroy wine held in inventory and could cause the need for a product recall, which could significantly damage our reputation for product quality. We maintain insurance against certain of these kinds of risks, and others, under various insurance policies. However, the insurance may not be adequate or may not continue to be available at a price or on terms that are satisfactory to us and this insurance may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

***Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.***

The proper functioning of our own information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

***If we fail to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws, we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively affect our business and operating results.***

In the ordinary course of our business, we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals ("personal data"), primarily employees, former employees and consumers with whom we interact. As a result, we are subject to various U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations relating to personal data. These laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted in other jurisdictions at any time. These laws impose operational requirements for companies receiving or processing personal data, and many provide for significant penalties for noncompliance. These requirements with respect to personal data have subjected and may continue in the future to subject the Company to, among other things, additional costs and expenses and have required and may in the future require costly changes to our business practices and information security systems, policies, procedures and practices. Our security controls over personal data, the training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data security, and the policies, procedures and practices we implemented or may implement in the future may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal data by us or the third-party service providers and vendors whose technology, systems and services we use in connection with the receipt, storage and transmission of personal data. Unauthorized access or improper disclosure of personal data in violation of personal data protection or privacy laws could harm our reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence, subject us to regulatory enforcement actions (including fines), and result in private litigation against us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, all of which could negatively affect our business and operating results.

***If our third-party service providers and business partners do not satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.***

In the conduct of our business, we rely on relationships with third parties, including cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, joint venture partners and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support of key portions of our operations. These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to similar risks as we are relating to cybersecurity, privacy violations, business interruption, and systems and employee failures, and are subject to legal, regulatory and market risks of their own. Our third-party service providers and business partners may not fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. In addition, while we have procedures in place for selecting and managing our relationships with third-party service providers and other business partners, we do not have control over their business operations or governance and compliance systems, practices and procedures, which increases our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk. If we are unable to effectively manage our third-party relationships, or for any reason our third-party service providers or business partners fail to satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.

***Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.***

Our sales are seasonal, and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. Companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.

***Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.***

The U.S. GAAP and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

***If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our stock price and investor confidence could be materially and adversely affected.***

We are required to maintain both disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that are effective. Because of their inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the controls will prevent or detect misstatements. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions. The failure of controls by design deficiencies or absence of adequate controls could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial results, which could also negatively impact our stock price and investor confidence.

***We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico, to provide us with our finished SALT tequila product. Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.***

We depend on a distiller in Mexico, a company in Jalisco, for the production, bottling, labeling, capping and packaging of our finished tequila product. We do not have a written agreement with our distiller in Mexico obligating it to produce our product. The termination of our relationship with our distiller in Mexico distiller or an adverse change in the terms of its services could have a negative impact on our business. If our distiller in Mexico increases its prices, we may not have alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and may not be able to raise the prices of our products to cover all, or even a portion, of the increased costs. In addition, if our distiller in Mexico fails to perform satisfactorily, fails to handle increased orders, or the loss of the services of our distiller in Mexico, along with delays in shipments of products, could cause us to fail to meet orders, lose sales, incur additional costs, and/or expose us to product quality issues. In turn, this could cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with our customers and consumers, ultimately leading to a decline in our business and results of operations.

***Regulatory decisions and changes in the legal, regulatory and tax environment where our tequila is produced and where we operate could limit our business activities or increase our operating costs and reduce our margins.***

Our business is subject to extensive regulation regarding production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labeling of beverage alcohol products in the U.S. and in Mexico, where our tequila is produced. We are required to comply with these regulations and maintain various permits and licenses. We are also required to conduct business only with holders of licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute, and sell spirits. We cannot assure you that these and other governmental regulations, applicable to our industry, will not change or become more stringent. Moreover, because these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when, and to what extent, liability may arise. Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems, including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products. Failure to comply with any of the current or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products, could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation of our licenses and permits. Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we may find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our sales and profit potential.

In addition, the distribution of beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation both in the United States and internationally (and, in the United States, at both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise duties in most countries around the world. An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our sales revenue and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories of beverage alcohol.

***We face substantial competition in the alcoholic beverage industry, and we may not be able to effectively compete.***

Consolidation among spirits producers, distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our products. Consolidation at any level could hinder the distribution and sale of our products as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our brands, both during and after transition periods, because our brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio. Expansion into new product categories by other suppliers, or innovation by new entrants into the market, could increase competition in our product categories. Changes to our route-to-consumer models or partners in important markets could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruption, higher implementation-related or fixed costs, and could negatively affect other business relationships we might have with that partner. Distribution network disruption or fluctuations in our product inventory levels with distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could negatively affect our results for a particular period.

Our competitors may respond to industry and economic conditions more rapidly or effectively than we do. Our competitors offer products that compete directly with ours for shelf space, promotional displays, and consumer purchases. Pricing, (including price promotions, discounting, couponing, and free goods), marketing, new product introductions, entry into our distribution networks, and other competitive behavior by our competitors could adversely affect our sales margins, and profitability.

***Our business operations may be adversely affected by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our tequila products. These risks include:***

● Unfavorable economic conditions and related low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, sovereign debt defaults, sequestrations, austerity measures, higher interest rates, political instability, higher inflation, deflation, lower returns on pension assets, or lower discount rates for pension obligations;

● Changes in laws, regulations, or policies – especially those that affect the production, importation, marketing, sale, or consumption of our beverage alcohol products;

● Tax rate changes (including excise, sales, tariffs, duties, corporate, individual income, dividends, capital gains), or changes in related reserves, changes in tax rules or accounting standards, and the unpredictability and suddenness with which they can occur;

● Dependence upon the continued growth of brand names;

● Changes in consumer preferences, consumption, or purchase patterns – particularly away from tequila, and our ability to anticipate and react to them; bar, restaurant, travel, or other on premise declines;

● Unfavorable consumer reaction to our products, package changes, product reformulations, or other product innovation;

● Decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products in our markets;

● Production facility or supply chain disruption;

● Imprecision in supply/demand forecasting;

● Higher costs, lower quality, or unavailability of energy, input materials, labor, or finished goods;

● Route-to-consumer changes that affect the timing of our sales, temporarily disrupt the marketing or sale of our products, or result in higher implementation related or fixed costs;

● Inventory fluctuations in our products by distributors, wholesalers, or retailers; Competitors' consolidation or other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;

● Insufficient protection of our intellectual property rights;

● Product recalls or other product liability claims; product counterfeiting, tampering, or product quality issues;

● Significant legal disputes and proceedings; government investigations (particularly of industry or company business, trade or marketing practices);

● Failure or breach of key information technology systems;

● Negative publicity related to our company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance or prospects; and

● Business disruption, decline, or costs related to organizational changes, reductions in workforce, or other cost-cutting measures, or our failure to attract or retain key executive or employee talent.

***Uncertainty in the financial markets and other adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major countries in which we do business could adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.***

Global economic uncertainties, including foreign currency exchange rates, affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. There can be no assurance that economic improvements will occur, or that they would be sustainable, or that they would enhance conditions in markets relevant to us.

***Our limited operating history makes it difficult to forecast our future results, making any investment in us highly speculative.***

We have a limited operating history, and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

**Risks Related to our Securities**

***An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.***

An investment in tour common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

***Future sales of common stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.***

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.

 ***Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.***

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, with par value $0.001 per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. Any such issuance would be subject to terms and conditions of any current offering that may disallow any such issuance.

***Because certain principal stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders' voting power may be limited.***

As of December 31, 2022, our ten (10) largest shareholders own or controlled approximately 35.5% of our outstanding common stock. If those stockholders act together, they would have the ability to have a substantial influence on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval. In addition, the ownership of such stockholders could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us, and consequently, adversely affect the price of our common stock. These stockholders may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.

***We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our Common Stock expecting to receive dividends.***

We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations.

***There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the NYSE American.***

Since June 11, 2021, our common stock has been listed on the NYSE American, under the symbol "SBEV". The NYSE American has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from the NYSE American), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

***Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.***

Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional common stock to certain of our stockholders.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements filed herewith.

**Business Overview** 

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. a company's whose common stock was quoted on the OTCQB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with SBG Acquisition Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by Canfield, and Splash Beverage Group, II Inc. a Nevada corporation ("Splash") pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the "Merger") with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canfield. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

As the owners and management of Splash had voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

On July 31, 2020, CMS changed its name to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. ("SBG"). On June 11, 2021, SBG's common stock and warrant to purchase common stock began trading on the NYSE American under the symbols "SBEV" and SBEV WT," respectively

On November 8, 2021, SBG reincorporated into the State of Nevada and became a Nevada corporation.

**Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2022, compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021.** 

Revenue

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $18.1m compared to revenues of $11.3m for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $6.8m increase in sales was mainly due to the increase in our ecommerce division distribution platform, Qplash of $6.4m.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for year ended December 31, 2022 were $12.1m compared to cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $8.3m. The $4.7m increase in cost of goods sold was due to our increased sales and inflation.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $27.3m compared to $33m for the year ended December 31, 2021. Non cash operating expenses related to share issuance was $7.4m as of December 31, 2022 compared $18.4m in December 31, 2021. The cash expense increase of $5.3m is mainly driven by an increase in sales and marketing cost of $2.0m to drive sales and promote the brands, delivery fees of $2.0m and an increase in Amazon selling fees of $0.6m associated with higher sales of Qplash division.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $245,429 compared to $262,450 for the year ended December 31, 2021. These cost are mainly interest expense.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES** 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company has an active registration statement on Form S-3 to facilitate raising additional funds.

As of December 31, 2022, we had total cash of $4,431,745, as compared with $4,181,383 at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to issuances of notes payable and stock subscription agreements offset by expenses relating to the operating the business.

Net cash used for continuing operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, was $14,061,116 as compared to the net cash used by continuing operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, of $14,697,179. The primary reason for the change in net cash used due to an increase of $0.4m in operating loss operating losses of the business, offset by a decrease of $1.2m in working capital Net cash used for discontinued operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, was $32,774 as compared to $515,952 for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to discontinuing the business on June 30, 2022.

Net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, was $102,698 as compared to the net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021, of $0. The net cash used in the year 2022 was for a capital expenditure for out of home used for advertising and building improvements.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, was $14,446,951 compared to $19,014,524 provided from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received $11,428,591 from the issuance of common stock compared to $19,630,565 during the year ending December 31, 2021. We received $4,045,420 and $928,000 proceeds from the issuance of debt in years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. In the year ending December 31, 2022 $390,500 shareholder advance was repaid and in year ending December 31, 2021 $390,500 cash advance from shareholder was received. Principal repayment of debt $636,560 and $1,673,296 were made in years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. In year ending December 31, 2021 a cash advance repayment of $261,245 was made.

In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

**<u>Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm</u>**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These 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 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 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 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 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 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 financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the 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 they relate.

**Intangible Assets Impairment Assessments**

As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has intangible assets of approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 2022. In most cases, no directly observable market inputs are available to measure the fair value to determine if the asset is impaired. Therefore, an estimate is derived indirectly and is based on valuation techniques utilizing undiscounted and discounted after-tax cash flows and discount rates. The estimates that management used in calculating the net present values depend on assumptions specific to the nature of the management service activities with regard to the amount and timing of projected future cash flows; long-term forecasts; actions of competitors (competing services), future tax and discount rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the intangible assets impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the net present value of the intangible assets. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions related to the amount and timing of projected future cash flows and the discount rate. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements These procedures included testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the net present value techniques; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, including the amount and timing of projected future cash flows and the discount rate. Evaluating management's assumptions related to the amount and timing of projected future cash flows and the discount rate involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management reasonable considering the current and past performance of the intangible assets, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

**Splash Beverage Group, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations</u>**

Splash Beverage Group ("SBG" or "Splash"), formally Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. ("CMS") was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS was in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with SBG Acquisition Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Nevada Corporation wholly owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation ("Splash") pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the "Merger") with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.

Splash specializes in the manufacturing process, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C E-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.

In July 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation of CMS with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, pursuant to which the Company changed its name from CMS. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company's name from CMS to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. Our new ticker symbol is SBEV.

On December 24, 2020, SBG consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Copa APA") with Copa di Vino Corporation ("CdV"), to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities that comprise the Copa di Vino business for a total purchase price of $5,980,000, payable in the combination of $2,000,000 in cash ("Cash Consideration"), $2,000,000 convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note") to Seller and a variable number of shares of the Company's common stock based on a attainment of revenue hurdles. CdV is one of the leading producers of premium wine by the glass in the United States with its primary offices and facilities in The Dalles, Oregon.

On February 2021, Management initiated a plan to divest its CMS business. As a result, the assets and operations of CMS have been retrospectively reflected as discontinued operations. On November 12, 2021 the Company changed its state of Domicile from Colorado to Nevada.

In coordination with up listing to the NYSE on June 11, 2021 the Company consummated a 1.0 for 3.0 reverse stock split. All common stock shares stated herein have been adjusted to reflect the split.

**Splash Beverage Group, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies</u>**

***<u>Basis of Presentation and Consolidation</u>***

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Holdings and Splash Mex, CMS (as discontinued operations), and CdV. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss.

***<u>Use of Estimates</u>***

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

***<u>Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance</u>***

We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Our cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. At December 31, 2022 we had approximately $3.8m over the federally insured limits. Our cash in uninsured foreign bank accounts was $1,941 at December 31, 2022.

***<u>Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts</u>***

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $13,683 and $45,203, respectively.

**Splash Beverage Group, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued</u>**

***<u>Inventory</u>***

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration are based on management's estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $66,146 and $223,223 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

***<u>Property and Equipment</u>***

We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-20 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

Depreciation expense totaled $182,886 and $156,766 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. Property and equipment consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Schedule of Property and equipment |  |  |
|  | 2022 | 2021 |
| Auto | 45420 |  |
| Machinery & equipment | 1108870 | 1108870 |
| Buildings & Tanks | 282988 | 279543 |
| Leasehold improvements | 713068 | 662537 |
| Office furniture & equipment | 13636 | 70960 |
| Total cost | 2163983 | 2121911 |
| Accumulated depreciation | (1674385) | (1552125) |
| Property, plant & equipment, net | 489597 | 569785 |

---

***<u>Excise taxes</u>***

The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company's warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.

***<u>Employee Retention Credit ("ERC")</u>***

The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit ("CARES Employee Retention credit"), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extend and slightly expand the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company qualified for the tax credit under the CARES Act. Copa Di Vino received $211,300 which represents refunds for the quarters ended March, June and September 2021 Form 941 Employer Quarterly Federal Tax Returns.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued</u>**

***<u>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</u>***

Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). |

---

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.

***<u>Revenue Recognition</u>***

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Distribution expenses to transport our products, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.

**Splash Beverage Group, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued</u>**

***<u>Cost of Goods Sold</u>***

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The cost of transportation from production site to other 3<sup>rd</sup> party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative cost.

***<u>Other General and Administrative Expenses</u>***

 ****

Other General and Administrative expenses includes Amazon selling fees, royalty cost for selling TapouT, cost of transportation from production site to other 3<sup>rd</sup> party warehouses or customers, Insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, Investor Relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.

***<u>Stock-Based Compensation</u>***

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,"*Compensation - Stock Compensation"*. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. We early adopted ASU 2018-07, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", which aligns accounting treatment for such awards to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.

We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management's best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the "simplified method," which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company's current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

***<u>Income Taxes</u>***

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740,"*Income Taxes"*. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See not 13.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued</u>**

***<u>Net income (loss) per share</u>***

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase shares of common stock and warrants granted by our Board but have not been exercised totaling 14,343,896.

***<u>Advertising</u>***

***<u>Goodwill and other intangibles</u>***

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results.

**<u>Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued</u>**

***<u>Long-lived assets</u>***

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, when relocating or closing a facility, or when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group's fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.

<u>***Foreign Currency Gain/Losses***</u>

Foreign Currency Gain/Losses — foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gain or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in Other Comprehensive Losses. The Company incurred foreign currency translation net loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 of $20,472.

***<u>Recent Accounting Pronouncements</u>***

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

**<u>Note 3 – Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations</u>**

During 2022, the Company received approximately $12.8 million and $4.0 million from the proceeds from the issuance common stock and debt, respectively. These events served to mitigate the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt about

the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that Company's ability to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $21.7 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.

Management believes that its current available resources will be sufficient to fund the Company's planned expenditures over the next 12 months. However, management recognizes that it may be required to obtain additional resources via issuances of indebtedness or equity to successfully execute its business plans. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company determine it shall be unable to continue as a going concern.

**<u>Note 13 – Tax Provision</u>**

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to determine which deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. Due to uncertainty to the Company's ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2022, the Company's net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes was $89,794,180, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, these carry forwards will begin to expire in 2032, except for the net operating losses generated January 1, 2018 and after, which can be carried forward indefinitely.

There was no income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the full valuation allowance recorded.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

On March 9, 2023, the Company was advised by Daszkal Bolton, LLP ("Daszkal"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, that Daszkal completed a business combination agreement with CohnReznick LLP ("CohnReznick"). As a result of this transaction, Daszkal will resign as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm upon the Company filing its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company's current Daszkal audit team is now part of CohnReznick and the Company expects it will likely engage CohnReznick to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, but has not engaged CohnReznick at this time.

Daszkal's reports on the Company's financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through November 14, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Daszkal on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Daszkal's satisfaction, would have caused Daszkal to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years; and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that Daszkal advised the Company of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

**(1) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to our limited resources our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in providing material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting discussed below Following the 2021 evaluation by management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures we implemented new controls and process in 2022.

**(2) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses related to a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.

**(3) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting other than items highlighted above, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 9B. Other Information.**

None.

**ITEM 9C. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS.**

Not applicable.

**Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.**

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2023, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock in this offering, for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● each of our current directors
 and executive officers;

● all of our current directors
 and executive officers as a group; and

● each person, or group of
 affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock.

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise specified, the address for each of the persons named in the table is 1314 E Las Olas Blvd. Suite 221, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership prior to this offering is based on 25,655,515 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.
