NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

**1.** **ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS**

***Historical Information*** - CV Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the name Foreclosure Solutions, Inc. in the State of Texas on December 9, 2010. The Company subsequently changed its name to CannaVest Corp. (Texas) on January 29, 2013. On July 25, 2013, the Company merged with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, CannaVest Corp (Delaware), to effectuate a change in the Company's state of incorporation from Texas to Delaware. On January 4, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation reflecting its corporate name change to "CV Sciences, Inc.", effective on January 5, 2016. In addition, on January 4, 2016, the Company amended its Bylaws to reflect its corporate name change to "CV Sciences, Inc."

***Description of Business*** - The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells herbal supplements, hemp-based cannabidiol ("CBD") and plant-based food products. The Company sells its products under tradenames, such as *+PlusCBD*™, *+PlusCBD*™*Pet, +PlusHLTH*™, *Cultured Foods*™, and *Lunar Fox*™. The Company's products are sold in a variety of market sectors including nutraceutical, beauty care and specialty foods. In addition, subject to available capital, the Company is developing drug candidates which use CBD as a primary active ingredient.

On December 7, 2023, the Company acquired Cultured Foods Sp. z.o.o., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Poland ("Cultured Foods"). Cultured Foods is a European manufacturer and distributor of plant-based protein products. The Company's plant-based food products are sold under the Cultured Foods brand.

On May 13, 2024, the Company acquired Elevated Softgels LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Elevated Softgels"). Elevated Softgels is a manufacturer of encapsulated softgels and tinctures for the supplement and nutrition industry.

***Basis of Presentation*** - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. On December 7, 2023, the Company acquired Cultured Foods and on May 13, 2024, the Company acquired Elevated Softgels, both of which are now wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2025. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

***Liquidity Considerations*** - U.S. GAAP requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the financial statement issuance date and to provide related note disclosure in certain circumstances. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and had an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million as of September 30, 2025. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operations, growth initiatives and will continue to make and implement strategic cost reductions, including reductions in employee headcount, vendor spending, and delaying expenses related to its drug development activities. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets, issuance of debt, and/or securing lines of credit.

In October 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor (the "Investor"), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note and received net proceeds of $300,000. For more information refer to Note 14.

Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that, effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. The Company is assessing the potential implications of this legislation on its operations and product offerings. For more information refer to Note 14.

The Company's financial operating results and accumulated deficit, amongst other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet its future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake, and the failure of the Company to raise additional capital could adversely affect its future operations and viability.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

***Use of Estimates*** - The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, inputs for valuing equity awards, valuation of inventory and assumptions related to revenue recognition.

***Fair Value Measurements*** - Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The carrying values of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and certain accrued expenses as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The Company's debt balance also approximates fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as the interest rates on the debt approximates the rates available to the Company as of such dates. The accounting guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 1 - uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities that are valued using inputs identified under a Level 1 hierarchy as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 2 - uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities that are valued using inputs identified under a Level 2 hierarchy as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Level 3 - uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, and significant management judgment or estimation. Except as described below in *Note 3. Acquisitions*, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that are valued using inputs identified under a Level 3 hierarchy as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

***Revenues -*** The majority of the Company's revenue contracts represent a single performance obligation related to the fulfillment of customer orders for the purchase of its products. Net sales reflect the transaction prices for these contracts based on the Company's selling list price, which is then reduced by estimated costs for trade promotional programs, consumer incentives, and allowances and discounts used to incentivize sales growth and build brand awareness. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that control of the ordered product is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment to the customer or other customer-designated delivery point. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. The computation of the sales return and other allowances require that management makes certain estimates and assumptions that effect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recorded. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in product sales. Taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental agencies are accounted for on a net basis and not included as revenue.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative" ("ASU 2023-06"). ASU 2023-06 incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The amendments in ASU 2023-06 are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of ASC Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC's regulations. ASU 2023-06 has an unusual effective date and transition requirements since it is contingent on future SEC rule setting. If the SEC fails to enact required changes by June 30, 2027, this ASU is not effective for any entities. Early adoption is not permitted.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires additional information to be disclosed with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, "Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements" ("ASU 2024-02"). The amendments in ASU 2024-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early application of the amendments in this update is permitted for all entities, for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). Under ASU 2024-03, a public entity would be required to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. Entities would also have to disclose other specific expenses, gains, or losses that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in this same disclosure, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses, as well as an entity's definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, "Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity" ("ASU 2025-03"), which revises the guidance in ASC 805 on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). ASU 2025-03 is intended to improve comparability between business combinations that involve VIEs and those that do not. Under ASU 2025-03, a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a VIE. More specifically, when considering those factors, the reporting entity can determine that a transaction in which the legal acquiree is a VIE represents a reverse acquisition (in which the legal acquirer is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes). As a result, comparability is increased with business combinations in which the legal acquiree is a VIE. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025 the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, "Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer" ("ASU 2025-04"), which clarifies the guidance on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

its customer, with the intent to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance by revising the definition of a "performance condition" and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that the guidance in Topic 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer "regardless of whether an award's grant date has occurred." ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 with updates to be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

***Recent Adopted Pronouncements***

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires companies to enhance the disclosures about segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires the disclosure of the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), expanded incremental line-item disclosures of significant segment expenses used by the CODM for decision-making, and the inclusion of previous annual only segment disclosure requirements on a quarterly basis. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2024. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but it did require increased disclosure with the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of acquired intangible assets were determined using a forecasted cash flow and a cost approach. Acquired intangible assets consists of trade names and customer relationships. The Company assigned a 5-year useful life to the acquired intangible assets. The Company determined that Cultured Foods carrying costs approximates fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Included in the purchase agreement is an earn-out provision whereby the Company agreed to pay the Cultured Foods' selling equityholder additional consideration contingent on achievement of certain annual revenue results of Cultured Foods in 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adjusted its previously recorded accrual of $88,000 for the earn-out provision, as the revenues of Cultured Foods did not trigger any earn-out payments. The potential earn-out was originally recorded as additional goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the earn-out subsequent to the acquisition date of $88,000 in selling, general and administrative expense. The valuation and purchase price allocation for the Cultured Foods acquisition has been finalized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

*Note Payable*

In February 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor (the "Investor"), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Note"). The Note carries an original issuance discount of $400,000 and the Company agreed to pay $10,000 to the Investor to cover legal fees. The Company incurred additional legal and professional fees of $72,424. The original issuance discount was deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by the Company which resulted in a purchase price received by the Company of $1,200,000.

The Note was due and payable on August 12, 2026 and the Company was required to make monthly repayments to the Investor of $106,667 starting on June 12, 2025.

In September 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with the Investor. The Agreement amended the Note among other things: (a) to provide for a new maturity date of February 12, 2027, (b) to provide that the monthly redemption amount consists of (i) $106,667 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the first 3 monthly redemption dates, (ii) $0 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the next 6 monthly redemption dates, and (iii) $106,667 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the subsequent 12 monthly redemption dates, and (c) to provide the Investor $150,000 in cash.

The Company can pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event the Company repaid the Note in full on or before August 12, 2025, the Company would have received a $100,000 discount from the outstanding balance. The Note is secured by all of the Company's assets pursuant to a security agreement and intellectual property security agreement entered into with the Investor on February 12, 2025. The Company's obligations under the Note are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries.

No interest will accrue on the Note unless and until an occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note. The Note provides for customary events of default (an "Event of Default"), including, among other things, the nonpayment when due of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified cure period, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness and material agreements of the Company, and the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event affecting the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain significant Events of Default as specified in the Note, the Investor may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 20%, and upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, the Investor may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 5%. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Investor may declare all amounts owed under the Note immediately due and payable. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall begin accruing on the outstanding balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default equal to the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum rate allowable under law.

In October 2025, the Company entered into a new note with the Investor. For more information - refer to Note 14.

*Streeterville Note*

In July 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note (the "Streeterville Note") in the original principal amount of $1.2 million. The Streeterville Note carried an original issuance discount of $283,500. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $5,000. As a result, the Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million in connection with the sale and issuance of the Streeterville Note. The Streeterville Note was to mature on July 3, 2025 and the Company was required to make weekly repayments to Streeterville on the note in the amount of $22,856 until the Streeterville Note was paid in full. The Company was able to pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event the Company repaid the Streeterville Note in full on or before December 31, 2024, the Company would have received a $75,000 discount from the outstanding balance.

No interest was to accrue on the Streeterville Note until an occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4 of the Streeterville Note, if ever. The Streeterville Note provided for customary events of default, including, among other things, the event of nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness of the Company, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any significant subsidiary, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount and other defaults resulting in liability of a specified amount. In the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default by the Company, Streeterville could have declared all amounts owed under the Streeterville Note immediately due and payable. Also, a late fee and interest penalty of equal to either 22% per annum or the maximum rate allowable under law, whichever is lesser, could have been applied to any outstanding amount not paid

when due or that remained outstanding while an Event of Default exists. The Streeterville Note was secured by all of the Company's assets as set forth in the Security Agreement dated July 3, 2024.

The Company made principal payments to Streeterville of $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company repaid the outstanding Streeterville Note prior to its maturity date and recognized a gain on extinguishment of note of $37,500. As a result, the Streeterville Note has been fully repaid and satisfied as of September 30, 2025, and the Company's obligations thereunder, were cancelled and terminated.

**<u>Insurance Financing</u>**

In October 2025, the Company entered into a financing agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of its insurance policies for the upcoming policy year. The amount financed was $0.2 million, which incurs interest at a rate of 7.72% per annum. The Company is required to make monthly payments of $18,299 from November 2025 through July 2026.

In October 2024, the Company entered into a financing agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of its insurance policies for its most recent policy year. The amount financed was $0.2 million, which incurred interest at a rate of 8.42% per annum. The Company was required to make monthly payments of $20,396 from November 2024 through July 2025. There was no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2025.

**<u>Cultured Foods Notes Payable</u>**

The Company assumed the outstanding notes payable of Cultured Foods in connection with its acquisition of Cultured Foods in December 2023. The notes payable to the prior owner of Cultured Foods were due within the next 12 months from the date of acquisition. The notes carried an interest of 9% per annum. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repaid the entire outstanding amount of the notes payable including interest.

**7.** **STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY**

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company cancelled 10,750,000 warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $0.0991 per share, as these warrants remained unexercised and the deadline to exercise these warrants lapsed.

**8.** **STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

On June 1, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of a new 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"), and the Company adopted the 2023 Plan. As a result, the CV Sciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") terminated and was replaced by the 2023 Plan; future issuances of incentive instruments will be made under and governed by the 2023 Plan. Outstanding awards issued under the 2013 Plan will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2013 Plan, provided that to

the extent that outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan are forfeited or lapse unexercised, the shares of common stock subject to such awards will no longer be available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan or any other equity incentive plan of the Company.

The 2023 Plan has a term of 10 years. The number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan is initially 34,976,000 shares, which number shall automatically increase on January 1 of each fiscal year (for a period of ten years after adoption of the 2023 Plan) during the term of the 2023 Plan, commencing on January 1, 2024, by the lesser of (a) 4% of the total shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on December 31st of the prior year, and (b) a lesser number of the Company's common stock as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 20,626,000 authorized but unissued shares reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan. On January 1, 2025, the Company added 7,370,547 shares to the 2023 Plan.

As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements was $0.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

The Company has established performance milestones in connection with drug development efforts for its lead drug candidate CVSI-007. As of September 30, 2025, there were 6,750,000 unvested performance-based stock options previously granted to Michael Mona Jr. ("Mona") outside of the 2013 Plan and 2023 Plan which are not included in the above table. These stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $0.375 and vest upon the satisfaction of future performance conditions (refer to Note 12).

The following table presents the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted and the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Nine months ended September 30,** | **Nine months ended September 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Volatility | 146.1% | 138.1% |
| Risk-Free Interest Rate | 4.4% | 4.3% |
| Expected Term (in years) | 5.76 | 5.75 |
| Dividend Rate | —% | —% |
| Weighted Average Fair Value Per Share on Grant Date | $0.03 | $0.05 |

---

The Company did not grant stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The risk-free interest rates are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities with remaining terms equivalent to the respective expected terms of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The Company estimates the expected term for stock options awarded to employees, officers and directors using the simplified method in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, because the Company does not have sufficient relevant historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. In the future, as the Company gains historical data for the actual term over which stock options are held, the expected term may change, which could substantially change the grant-date fair value of future stock option awards, and, consequently, compensation of future grants.

**9.** **NET LOSS PER SHARE**

The Company computes basic net loss per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares plus potential common shares. The Company's stock options, including those with performance conditions, are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method when their effect is dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of net loss per diluted share because their effect were anti-dilutive (in thousands):

**10.** **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

On March 17, 2015, Michael Ruth filed a shareholder derivative suit in Nevada District Court alleging breach of fiduciary duty and gross mismanagement (the "Ruth Complaint"). The claims were premised on the same events that were the subject of a purported class action filed in the Southern District of New York on April 23, 2014 (the "Sallustro Case"). On July 2, 2019, the court in the Sallustro Case entered a final order dismissing the complaint with prejudice. The Company did not make any settlement payment, and at no time was there a finding of wrongdoing by the Company or any of its directors. Regarding the Ruth Complaint, the parties previously agreed to stay the action pending the conclusion of discovery in the Sallustro Case. Once the Sallustro Case was dismissed, the stay was lifted. Plaintiff's counsel later informed the Court that Mr. Ruth sold his shares of CVSI stock and thus he no longer had standing to pursue this claim. However, the Court allowed plaintiff's counsel to substitute CVSI shareholder Otilda Lamont as the named plaintiff. On September 20, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Ruth Complaint and the court issued a ruling denying the motion to dismiss on November 24, 2020. A Third Amended Complaint was filed on December 11, 2020 substituting Otilda Lamont as plaintiff. The Company filed an answer to the Ruth complaint on January 11, 2021. The parties agreed to a settlement in principle in January 2022 whereby the Company agreed to make certain corporate governance reforms in exchange for dismissal of the lawsuit. Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of proposed settlement on June 1, 2022. The court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement on February 7, 2023. A hearing seeking final approval of the proposed settlement was held on May 15, 2023, and the court indicated it would likely approve the proposed settlement and reschedule the hearing with regard to plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees. On June 23, 2023, the Company received notice of a court order dated May 23, 2023 without any hearing, granting plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees and expenses of approximately $250,000. On or about May 1, 2024, the Company and plaintiff executed a stipulation for the payment of the plaintiff's attorney's fees and expenses over the course of approximately eighteen months subject to a confession of judgment.

On December 3, 2019, Michelene Colette and Leticia Shaw filed a putative class action complaint in the Central District of California, alleging the labeling on the Company's products violated the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (the "Colette Complaint"). On February 6, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Colette Complaint. Instead of opposing the Company's motion, plaintiffs elected to file an amended complaint on February 25, 2020. On March 10, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The court issued a ruling on May 22, 2020 that stayed this proceeding in its entirety and dismissed part of the amended complaint. The court's order stated that the portion of the proceeding that is stayed will remain stayed until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") completes its rulemaking regarding the marketing, including labelling, of CBD ingestible products. However, on January 26, 2023, the FDA announced that it does not intend to pursue rulemaking allowing the use of cannabidiol products in dietary supplements or conventional foods. As a result, on February 13, 2023, Plaintiffs filed a status report with the court asking to have the stay lifted. The Company filed a written opposition. The court has taken no action since Plaintiffs filed that status report, and the case remains stayed pursuant to the court's original order.

On February 12, 2025, the Company initiated an arbitration with JAMS asserting claims against its long-time legal counsel, Procopio. The Company's engagement agreement with Procopio requires the resolution of such disputes through arbitration. Procopio provided the Company legal advice and guidance on when Mona would recognize W-2 income and be subject to payroll and income tax withholding resulting from the settlement of RSU's previously awarded to Mona. According to Procopio, because Mona was then an insider within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and he was subject to suit and disgorgement of

------

**CV SCIENCES, INC.**

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

short-swing profits if he sells stock within six months of the settlement date of the RSU's, Mona does not recognize W-2 income on the settlement date and that Mona would recognize W-2 income and be subject to tax withholding upon the expiration of the six month period under Section 16(b). Consequently, the Company issued to Mona a share certificate evidencing his ownership of shares of the Company's stock then valued at more than $13 million that Mona constructively received upon the settlement of his RSU's without withholding taxes. After Mona received the certificate, without acknowledging its prior advice and guidance, Procopio changed its prior advice and advised the Company that tax withholding was required as of the settlement date. Procopio continued to represent the Company to resolve the lack of withholding, address the fallout therefrom, report the same in its periodic reports filed with the SEC and numerous other legal matters. The Company disclosed the lack of withholding in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended, March 31, 2019, and in subsequent quarterly and annual reports. The Company has also disclosed in its prior reports filed with the SEC that the lack of withholding has been the subject of multiple legal proceedings, the most recent of which involved a case brought by Mona against the Company that was resolved in November 2024 in the Company's favor in a binding arbitration. After that case was submitted to the arbitrator for decision, the Company sought to address with Procopio the legal advice and guidance it provided. Procopio responded by terminating the Company as a client on January 10, 2025, ending the Company's 12-year relationship with Procopio as its legal counsel. The Company seeks to recover damages from Procopio resulting from its reliance on Procopio's advice and guidance, including fees and expenses paid to Procopio and other professionals, expenses incurred by the Company and other harm to it. In April 2025, JAMS appointed an arbitrator to the case. The hearing is scheduled to begin on May 18, 2026.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which they may be obligated to indemnify the other party. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these types of agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations, and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

**11.** **INCOME TAXES**

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated taxable losses for which no tax benefit has been recognized due to uncertainties regarding the future realization of the tax benefit. The tax effects of the taxable losses will be recognized when realization of the tax benefit becomes more likely than not or the tax effects of the previous interim losses are utilized.

**12.** **RELATED PARTIES**

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mona, and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company acknowledged that Mona's resignation from the Company on January 22, 2019 was for Good Reason (as defined in Mona's Employment Agreement) and agreed to extend the deadline for Mona's exercise of his stock options for a period of five years. In exchange, Mona agreed that notwithstanding the terms of his Employment Agreement providing for acceleration of vesting of all stock options upon a Good Reason resignation, certain of his unvested stock options would not immediately vest, but rather continue to vest if, and only if, certain Company milestones are achieved related to the Company's drug development efforts. These stock options were issued in July 2016 (6,000,000 options) and March 2017 (5,000,000 options), and 6,750,000 of these stock options have not vested as of June 30, 2025. The Company and Mona also agreed to mutually release all claims arising out of and related to Mona's resignation and separation from the Company. As a result of Mona's Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to (i) the accelerated vesting of the RSU's of $5.1 million and (ii) due to the Settlement Agreement's modification of certain stock options of $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company cancelled 11,300,000 fully vested outstanding stock options of Mona with a weighted average exercise price of $0.42 per share, as these stock options remained unexercised and the deadline to exercise these stock options lapsed.

In addition, 2,950,000 shares of stock were issued to Mona upon the vesting and settlement of the RSU's. The settlement of the RSU's by the payment of shares was treated as taxable compensation to Mona and thus subject to income tax withholdings. No amounts were withheld (either in cash or the equivalent of shares of common stock from the settlement of the RSU's) or included in the original Company's payroll tax filing. The compensation was subject to Federal and State income tax withholding and Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") taxes withholding estimated to be $6.4 million for the employee portions. The employer portion of the FICA taxes was $0.2 million and was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported the taxable compensation associated with the RSU settlement to the taxing authorities and included the amount in Mona's W-2 for 2019. Although the primary tax liability is the responsibility of the employee, the Company is secondarily liable to the taxing authorities and thus has continued to reflect this liability on its balance sheet through December 31, 2022 in an amount of $6.7 million, which was recorded as a component of accrued expenses. The Company initially recorded an offsetting receivable of $6.2 million during the second quarter of

------

**CV SCIENCES, INC.**

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

2019 for the total estimated Federal and State income taxes which should have been withheld in addition to the employee portion of the FICA payroll taxes as the primary liability is ultimately the responsibility of the employee. The receivable was recorded as a component of prepaid expense and other on the condensed balance sheet. The deadline to file and pay personal income taxes for 2019 with extensions was on October 15, 2020. Notwithstanding repeated requests from the Company, Mona has not provided to the Company the appropriate documentation substantiating that he properly filed and paid his taxes for 2019, and Mona has recently confirmed that he has not paid his personal income tax for 2019. As a result, the Company derecognized its previously recorded receivable of $6.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. The associated liability would have been relieved once the tax amount was paid by Mona and the Company had received the required taxing authority documentation from Mona. If the tax amount was not paid by Mona, the Company could have been liable for such tax due.

The Company believes that the statute of limitations for federal payroll tax withholding expired on April 15, 2023. In addition, the statute of limitations for the state tax withholding expired during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a result of the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, the Company believes that neither the IRS nor the State of California have the rights to assess and collect the $6.2 million of income taxes from the Company and the Company has made a change in accounting estimate and no longer expects to incur a loss with respect to this matter. As a result, the Company derecognized the contingent liability of $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company believes that the statute of limitations for employer and employee Medicare portion of FICA taxes expired on April 15, 2025. As a result of the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, the Company believes that the IRS does not have the rights to assess and collect the $0.5 million of employer and employee Medicare portion of FICA taxes from the Company and the Company has made a change in accounting estimate and no longer expects to incur a loss with respect to this matter. As a result, the Company derecognized the contingent liability of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**13.** **SEGMENT DATA**

The Company defines its segments on the basis of the way in which internally reported financial information is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company manages its operations as a single operating and reportable segment, which is the production and sale of nutraceuticals and plant-based foods. As internal reporting is based on the consolidated results, the Company has identified one reporting and reportable segment. The CODM uses net loss and cash flow information in the budget and forecasting process and considers budget-to-actual variances on a regular basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. The measure of the operating segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

The Company's reportable segment product sales, net and net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

**14.** **SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

*Note Payable*

In October 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $600,000 (the "New Note"). The New Note carries an original issuance discount of $150,000 and the Company paid $13,125 to the Investor to cover legal and other fees. The original issuance discount for the New Note and modification fees related to the Note as described in Note 6 were deducted from the proceeds of the New Note received by the Company which resulted in a purchase price received by the Company of $300,000.

The New Note is due and payable on April 6, 2027 and the Company is required to make monthly repayments to the Investor of $46,154 starting on April 6, 2026. The Company can pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event the Company repays the New Note in full on or before April 6, 2026, the Company will receive an 8% discount from the outstanding balance. The New Note is secured by all of the Company's assets pursuant to a security agreement and intellectual property security agreement entered into with the Investor in October 2025. The Company's obligations under the New Note are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. No interest will accrue on the New Note unless and until an occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the New Note.

*Regulatory Update*

In November 2025, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, a government funding bill that includes provisions affecting hemp-derived products. The legislation provides that, effective November 13, 2026, the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") per container will be prohibited under federal law. Products containing less than this amount may continue to be sold, but such products currently represent a small portion of the overall hemp-derived product market.

The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this legislation on its product portfolio, supply chain, and future operating results. The Company has up to one year to assess and, if necessary, modify its product formulations, labeling, and related compliance measures in response to this legislation. While management cannot reasonably estimate the financial effect of this legislation at this time, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations, and cash flows if enacted as currently written.

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

When we use the terms "CV Sciences," "Company," "we," "our" and "us," we mean CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, taken as a whole, as well as any predecessor entities, unless the context otherwise indicates.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

**OVERVIEW**

We are a consumer wellness company specializing in hemp extracts and other proven, science-backed, natural ingredients and products, which are sold through a range of sales channels from B2B to B2C.

Our *+PlusCBD™* branded products are sold at select retail locations throughout the U.S. and are the top-selling brands of hemp extracts in the natural products market, according to SPINS, the leading provider of syndicated data and insights for the natural, organic and specialty products industry. We follow all guidelines for good manufacturing practices ("GMP") and our products are processed, produced, and tested throughout the manufacturing process to confirm strict compliance with company and regulatory standards and specifications. With a commitment to science, *+PlusCBD™* product benefits in healthy people are supported by human clinical research data, in addition to three published clinical case studies available on PubMed.gov. *+PlusCBD™* was the first hemp extract supplement brand to invest in the scientific evidence necessary to receive self-affirmed "generally recognized as safe" ("GRAS") status.

In addition, on December 7, 2023, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in Cultured Foods Sp. z.o.o., resulting in Cultured Foods becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Cultured Foods is a leading European manufacturer and distributor of plant-based protein products.

In May 2024, we acquired all outstanding membership interests of Elevated Softgels, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for a total purchase price of up to $1.0 million. Elevated Softgels is a leading manufacturer of encapsulated softgels and tinctures for the supplement and nutrition industry, based in Colorado.

In August 2024, we engaged Maxim Group LLC ("Maxim") as a non-exclusive financial advisor and investment banker to provide strategic financial advisory and investment banking services. With the help of Maxim, the Company intends to continue to build an efficient and cost effective consumer products platform and continue to evaluate inbound and outbound merger, sale, acquisition or other opportunities for the Company.

Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that, effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. The Company is assessing the potential implications of this legislation on its operations and product offerings. Depending on future regulatory developments or changes to the legislation, this provision could materially affect the Company's ability to continue selling certain of its existing products.

We also have a drug development program focused on developing and commercializing CBD-based novel therapeutics, subject to available capital.

Our primary offices and facilities are located in San Diego, California; Grand Junction, Colorado; and Warsaw, Poland.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC:QB market under the trading symbol CVSI.

We had net product sales of $3.3 million and gross profit of $1.6 million, representing a gross margin of 48.5%, in the third quarter of 2025, compared to net product sales of $3.9 million and gross profit of $1.8 million, representing a gross margin of 46.0%, in the third quarter of 2024. Net product sales decreased in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter 2024 driven by lower sales volume due to out-of-stock issues for some of our key products and restrictive regulation in certain states. The total number of units sold during the third quarter 2025 decreased by 15.8% compared to the third quarter 2024, partially offset by an increase of our average sales price per unit of 1.4% compared to the same period 2024. In addition, our net sales declined due to lower third-party contract manufacturing ("CMO") revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

39.0% of our net revenue for the third quarter 2025 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time, we launched 38 new products. The overall market continues to be fragmented and highly competitive, which we believe is largely due to the lack of a clear regulatory framework and a patchwork of state regulation.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, packaging, manufacturing overhead (including payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, facilities, depreciation, supplies and quality assurance costs), merchant card fees and shipping. We were able to reduce our cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 by $0.4 million, or 19.6%. The reduction is mostly due to the lower number of units sold in the third quarter of 2025. In addition, cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2025 decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the second quarter of 2024, mostly due lower freight, lower inventory losses and product mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period. Our gross profit in the third quarter 2025 declined by $0.2 million, or 11.2% from the third quarter of 2024. Our gross margin improved from 46.0% in the third quarter 2024 to 48.5% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement in our gross margin is primarily due to lower freight, lower inventory losses, and product and channel mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods.

Our net product sales decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 mostly due to lower sales volume. Our sales volume declined due to the impact of restrictive state regulations and most recently due to out-of-stock issues for some of our key products. The total number of units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 11.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, our average sales price per unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 0.2% compared to the same period in 2024.

37.6% of our net revenue for the nine month ended September 30, 2025 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time, we launched 38 new products.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, packaging, manufacturing overhead (including payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, facilities, depreciation, supplies and quality assurance costs), merchant card fees and shipping. We were able to reduce our cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 by $0.9 million, or 14.7%. The reduction is mostly due to the lower number of units sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In addition, cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased as a percentage of revenue compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, mostly due to lower freight, cost savings and product mix, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold for Elevated Softgels and Cultured Foods in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. Our gross profit declined to $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $5.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our gross margin improved from 46.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 48.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, which was primarily a result of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Sales expense decreased due to lower payroll, commission, travel and other expense, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Marketing expense decreased due to lower digital marketing activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•General and administrative ("G&A") expense for the third quarter of 2025 decreased from the prior year period due to lower legal and professional fees, insurance expense, depreciation and other administrative cost reductions, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense. In addition, we also recognized a gain in fair-value of contingent consideration liabilities of $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2024.

------

*<u>First nine months 2025 vs. 2024</u>*

SG&A expense decreased to $5.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $6.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was primarily a result of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Sales expense decreased due to lower commission, payroll, travel and other expense, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Marketing expense decreased due to lower digital advertising spend, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Our reduced digital marketing expense declined due to lower advertising activity during the first nine months of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•G&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased from the prior year period due to lower legal fees and professional fees, insurance expense, depreciation and other administrative cost reductions, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense. In addition, we recognized a gain in fair-value of contingent consideration liabilities of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

***Benefit from reversal of accrued payroll taxes***

We previously recorded a contingent liability for payroll taxes associated with the RSU release to our founder. On April 15, 2025, the statute of limitations for employer and employee Medicare portion of FICA taxes expired. As a result of the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, the IRS does not have the rights to assess and collect the $0.5 million of employer and employee Medicare portion of FICA taxes from the Company and we have made a change in accounting estimate and no longer expect to incur a loss with respect to this matter. As a result, we derecognized the contingent liability of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For more information, please see Note 12, *Related Parties*, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

***Interest expense, net***

Interest expense, net consists of interest expense and interest income. Interest expense, net was $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest expense increased from $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the note payable with an institutional investor.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net loss plus depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments as set forth below. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it also highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in communicating certain aspects of our results and performance, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, can provide investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in making period-to-period comparison of results because the adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

(4)Represents legal and other professional expenses incurred during 2024 associated with the legal dispute with founder.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, our primary sources of capital came from (i) cash generated from our operations, (ii) existing cash, and (iii) proceeds from note payable financings. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $0.4 million of cash and working capital of approximately $0.3 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $0.1 million and had an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million as of September 30, 2025.

We believe that a combination of factors have adversely impacted our business operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to a low barrier entry market with a lack of a clear regulatory framework, we face intense competition from both licensed and illicit market operators that may also sell herbal supplements and hemp-based CBD consumer products. Because we operate in a market that is rapidly evolving and expanding globally, our customers may choose to obtain CBD products from our competitors, and our success depends on our ability to attract and retain our customers from purchasing CBD products elsewhere. To remain competitive, we intend to continue to innovate new products, build brand awareness, and make significant investments in our business strategy by introducing new products into the markets in which we operate, adopt quality assurance protocols and procedures, build our market presence, and undertake further research and development. In addition, we intend to make additional acquisitions to further diversify our product offerings.

In October 2025, we received net proceeds of $0.3 million under a secured promissory note with an institutional investor - please see Note 14, *Subsequent Events*, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that, effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. We are assessing the potential implications of this legislation on our operations and product offerings - please see Note 14, *Subsequent Events*, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Management implemented, and continues to make and implement, strategic cost reductions, including reductions in employee headcount, vendor spending, and the delaying of certain expenses related to our drug development activities. To the extent that we feel

------

it is necessary and in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, we may also take further actions that alter our operations in order to ensure the success of our business.

*Note Payable*

In February 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor (the "Investor"), pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Note"). The Note carries an original issuance discount of $400,000 and we paid $10,000 to the Investor to cover legal fees. We incurred additional legal and professional fees of $72,424. The original issuance discount was deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by us which resulted in a purchase price received by us of $1,200,000.

The Note was due and payable on August 12, 2026 and we were required to make monthly repayments to the Investor of $106,667 starting on June 12, 2025.

In September 2025, we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with the Investor. The Agreement amended the Note among other things: (a) to provide for a new maturity date of February 12, 2027, (b) to provide that the monthly redemption amount consists of (i) $106,667 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the first 3 monthly redemption dates, (ii) $0 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the next 6 monthly redemption dates, and (iii) $106,667 of the outstanding principal amount of the Note on each of the subsequent 12 monthly redemption dates, and (c) to provide the Investor $150,000 in cash.

We can pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event we paid the Note in full on or before August 12, 2025, we would have received a $100,000 discount from the outstanding balance. The Note is secured by all of our assets pursuant to a security agreement and intellectual property security agreement entered into with the Investor on February 12, 2025. Our obligations under the Note are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries. No interest will accrue on the Note unless and until an occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the Note.

In October 2025, we entered into a new note with the Investor. Please see Note 14, *Subsequent Events*, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

*Streeterville Note*

In July 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which we issued and sold to Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note (the "Streeterville Note") in the original principal amount of $1.2 million. The Streeterville Note carried an original issuance discount of $283,500. We incurred additional debt issuance costs of $5,000. As a result, we received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million in connection with the sale and issuance of the Streeterville Note. The Streeterville Note was to mature on July 3, 2025 and we were required to make weekly repayments to Streeterville on the note in the amount of $22,856 until the Streeterville Note was paid in full. We were able to pay all or any portion of the outstanding balance earlier than it is due without penalty. In the event we repaid the Streeterville Note in full on or before December 31, 2024, we would have received a $75,000 discount from the outstanding balance.

No interest was to accrue on the Streeterville Note until an occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 4 of the Streeterville Note, if ever. The Streeterville Note provided for customary events of default, including, among other things, the event of nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness of the Company, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any significant subsidiary, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount and other defaults resulting in liability of a specified amount. In the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default by us, Streeterville could have declaree all amounts owed under the Streeterville Note immediately due and payable. Also, a late fee and interest penalty of equal to either 22% per annum or the maximum rate allowable under law, whichever is lesser, could have been applied to any outstanding amount not paid when due or that remained outstanding while an Event of Default exists. The Streeterville Note was secured by all of our assets as set forth in the Security Agreement dated July 3, 2024.

We made principal payments to Streeterville of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We repaid the outstanding Streeterville Note prior to its maturity date and recognized a gain on extinguishment of $37,500. As a result, the Streeterville Note has been fully repaid and satisfied as of June 30, 2025, and our obligations thereunder, were cancelled and terminated.

*First Insurance Funding Agreements*

------

In October 2025, we entered into a financing agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of our insurance policies for the upcoming policy year. The amount financed was $0.2 million, which incurs interest at a rate of 7.72% per annum. We are required to make monthly payments of $18,299 from November 2025 through July 2026.

In October 2024, we entered into a finance agreement with First Insurance Funding in order to fund a portion of our insurance policies. The amount financed is $0.2 million, which incurred interest at an annual rate of 8.42%. We were required to make monthly payments of $20,396 from November 2024 through July 2025. There was no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2025.

*Going Concern*

U.S. GAAP requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date and to provide related note disclosure in certain circumstances. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. We generated negative cash flows from operations of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and had an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million as of September 30, 2025. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund our operations and growth initiatives. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets, issuance of debt, and/or securing lines of credit in order to continue its operations. However, there can be no assurances that additional working capital will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, which would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue its operations.

The Company's financial operating results and accumulated deficit, amongst other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to meet its future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake, and the failure of the Company to raise additional capital could adversely affect its future operations and viability.

A summary of our changes in cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is provided below:

**Operating Activities**

Net cash used in operating activities includes net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, bad debt expense, stock-based compensation, benefit of reversal of payroll tax liability, interest expense related to our promissory notes, and gain on debt extinguishment. Operating assets and liabilities primarily include balances related to funding of inventory purchases and customer accounts receivable. Operating assets and liabilities that arise from the funding of inventory purchases and customer accounts receivable can fluctuate significantly from day to day and period to period depending on the timing of inventory purchases and customer payment behavior.

Cash flows used in operating activities was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our net loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, adjusted for non-cash items of $0.7 million, resulted in a net loss, adjusted for non-cash items of $0.1 million, compared to a net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $1.0 million in the prior year period, an improvement of $0.9 million. Our non-cash adjustments increased by $0.1 million from $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Non-cash adjustments increased due to higher stock-based compensation and interest expense, partially offset by the benefit for the reversal of accrued payroll tax of $0.5 million related to the RSU's previously issued to Mona during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Recurring non-cash adjustments consists of depreciation, amortization, interest expense and stock-based compensation. Changes in working capital generated $0.3 million during the first nine months of 2024, but did not provide a material amount during the first nine months of 2025. Our net loss declined by $0.9 million, mostly due to the benefit for the reversal of accrued payroll taxes of $0.5 million and our improved operating performance and reduced SG&A expenses.

**Investing Activities**

Cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to improvements to our manufacturing facility at Elevated Softgels. We used cash in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 for the acquisition of Elevated Softgels.

**Financing Activities**

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of proceeds from our note payable financing of $1.1 million, offset by repayments of Streeterville note of $0.6 million, repayments of our note financing of $0.3 million, and repayment of our insurance financing of $0.1 million. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of proceeds from our Streeterville financing of $0.9 million, repayments of assumed debt for Cultured Foods of $0.1 million, repayments to Streeterville of $0.2 million and our insurance financing of $0.2 million.

**Inflation**

We have not been affected materially by inflation during the periods presented. However, recent trends towards rising inflation may adversely impact our business and corresponding financial position and cash flow.

**Known Trends or Uncertainties**

There can be no assurance that the Company's business and corresponding financial performance will not be adversely affected by general economic or consumer trends. In particular, global economic conditions remain constrained, and if such conditions continue, recur or worsen, this may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, inflation has risen and Federal Reserve interest rates remain high, which may also materially adversely our business and corresponding financial position and cash flows.

Furthermore, such economic conditions have produced downward pressure on share prices and on the availability of credit for financial institutions and corporations. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue, the Company might experience reductions in business activity, increased funding costs and funding pressures, as applicable, a decrease in the market price of shares of our common stock, a decrease in asset values, additional write-downs and impairment charges and lower profitability.

------

We have seen some consolidation in our industry during economic downturns. These consolidations have not had a negative effect on our total sales; however, should consolidations and downsizing in the industry continue to occur, those events could adversely impact our revenues and earnings going forward.

There is currently a lack of a clear federal regulatory framework regarding the development, sale and use of CBD products in the United States. As a result, differing state regulations have emerged, which regulations are constantly evolving and differ significantly from state to state in many cases. Several states, including without limitation, California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Utah and Virginia, have recently adopted regulations that may impact our ability to sell certain of our products in these states. In September 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an emergency order into law, effectively banning the sale of hemp products intended for human use that contain detectable amounts of THC or certain other cannabinoids in California, amongst other things. The emergency order was originally in effect through March 25, 2025, and has been extended by one year. We have certain products which fall under this category that we have historically sold in California. It is currently unknown whether the duration of the emergency order will be extended, and/or whether it will be replaced with a permanent law with similar or more stringent prohibitions. This emergency order had a negative impact on our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and we expect that it will continue to have a negative impact on our business going forward for so long as it, or any permanent law with similar or more stringent prohibitions, remains in effect; however, it is currently impossible to quantify the expected impact on our business. There is also substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as to the emerging regulation of cannabinoids. These different opinions include, but are not limited to, the regulation of cannabinoids by the FDA and the extent to which manufacturers of products containing cannabinoids may engage in interstate commerce. These uncertainties have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, restrictive state regulations could adversely impact our revenue and earnings going forward.

Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that, effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container. The Company is assessing the potential implications of this legislation on its operations and product offerings. Depending on future regulatory developments or changes to the legislation, this provision could materially affect the Company's ability to continue selling certain of its existing products.

Changes in U.S. and foreign governments' trade policies have resulted in, and may continue to result in, tariffs on imports into and exports from the U.S., among other restrictions. In February 2025, the U.S. administration announced increased tariff on imports from China, where certain components of our finished products are sourced. We are closely monitoring this evolving situation and evaluating our responses, which may include price adjustments or other cost-mitigation measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate the impact of such tariffs or trade restrictions. If further tariffs are imposed, we could be forced to raise prices on all or certain of our products or make changes to our operations, any of which could materially harm our revenue or operating results. Any additional future tariffs or quotas imposed may impact our sales, gross margin and profitability if we are unable to pass increased prices onto our customers. Currently, we cannot fully determine how these tariffs will affect our business operations. The overall impact on our business will be influenced by several variables, including the duration and potential expansion of current tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope, or enforcement, retaliatory measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects and broader macroeconomic responses, changes to consumer purchasing behavior, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges.

We are currently experiencing certain manufacturing constraints that are expected to result in temporary out-of-stock situations for some of our key products during the fourth quarter of 2025 and potentially in early 2026. We are working closely to resolve these issues and expect supply to normalize in 2026. While we do not currently anticipate a material long-term impact, these temporary shortages may affect our near-term revenue and customer order fulfillment.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

We have disclosed in "Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2024 Annual Report, filed with the SEC March 27, 2025, those accounting policies and estimates that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operation and financial condition. There have been no material changes to those policies and estimates that we consider to be significant since the filing of our 2024 Annual Report. The accounting principles used in preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements conform in all material respects to GAAP.
