NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1 – Organization and Background Nature of Business BranchOut Food Inc., a Nevada corporation, together with its Peruvian subsidiary (collectively, “BranchOut,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), is engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of plant-based, dehydrated fruit and vegetable snacks and powders manufactured at a 50,000 square foot production facility leased by the Company in Pisco, Peru. In April 2024, we formed BranchOut Food Sucursal Peru, our Peruvian wholly-owned subsidiary, to operate our production facility in Pisco Peru, which commenced operations in December 2024. Our products are produced using our advanced dehydration platform licensed exclusively from EnWave Corporation (“EnWave”) to create our private label, branded, and bulk wholesale products. We use proprietary GentleDry™ Technology optimized to preserve taste, texture, color, and nutrients. Our GentleDry™ Technology is protected by over 17 patents. Prior to operating our production facility, we relied on contract manufacturers. Company Realignment Beginning April 2024, the Company initiated an organizational realignment to expand manufacturing operations by opening and operating a factory in Pisco, Peru. This large-scale initiative aligned the Company’s resources, strategies, and goals with our desired outcomes. Through September 30, 2025, we have incurred total aggregate costs of approximately $ 6.4 million related to this initiative, consisting of (i) approximately $ 5.1 million in factory start-up costs including purchasing equipment, build-out, and supplies for the new facility and (ii) approximately $ 1.3 million in factory idle capacity, professional fees, legal fees, and travel costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred approximately $ 1.5 million of realignment costs comprised of: $ 573,991 for capitalized machinery and equipment, $ 848,906 for factory idle capacity, $ 29,652 for travel costs and $ 88,016 for professional and legal fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred approximately $ 2.4 million of realignment costs comprised of: $ 2.1 million for capitalized machinery and equipment, $ 45,601 for travel costs and $ 263,916 for professional and legal fees. 8 Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2025, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from our audited financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which were under common control and ownership at September 30, 2025: Name of Entity Jurisdiction Relationship BranchOut Food Inc. (1) Nevada, U.S. Parent BranchOut Food Sucursal Peru (2) Peru Subsidiary (1) Holding company in the form of a corporation. (2) Peruvian wholly-owned subsidiary of BranchOut Food Inc. established on April 26, 2024 in the form of a branch. The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. The Company’s headquarters are located in Bend, Oregon. Going Concern As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2025, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $ 21,656,147 , with positive working capital of $ 2,118,922 , which may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers and continues to expand the Company’s product mix to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short-term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute to achieving profitability. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities, that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Segment Reporting Under ASC 280, Segment Reporting , operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two components, consisting of its sales operations in the United States, and its production operations in Peru. Therefore, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company’s operations based on these two operating segments for the manufacture and distribution of its products. 9 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820). Under ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include money market accounts which have maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. There were no cash equivalents on hand on September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 , under current regulations. The Company had $ 424,706 and $ 1,555,223 in excess of FDIC insured limits on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Research and Development We operate in a fast-moving category shaped by shifting consumer preferences, requiring continuous innovation and new product development. To support this, we rely on our proprietary GentleDry™ Technology, an advanced dehydration platform licensed exclusively from EnWave Corporation. We expect to continue investing in R&D as we scale our GentleDry™ product portfolio and bring new, innovative offerings to market that align with evolving consumer needs. Research and development costs include salaries, building costs, utilities, administrative expenses and other corporate costs. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, our research and development expenses totaled $ 208,265 , compared to $ 14,348 for the same period in 2024. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy: Schedule of Estimated Useful Lives Office equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Equipment and machinery 5 - 10 years Leasehold Improvements 15 years 10 Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized, and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations. Our indefinite-lived brand names and trademarks acquired and are assigned an indefinite life as we anticipate that these brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by considering events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. The Company expenses internally developed trademarks. Derivatives The Company evaluates convertible notes payable, stock options, stock warrants and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes the direct costs associated with the purchase, production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Production costs are primarily calculated from direct raw materials, labor, and variable manufacturing costs. We determine manufacturing overhead by applying a predetermined rate based on actual machine hours used in production. Overhead costs include factory rent, utilities, depreciation, and other factory-related expenses, allocated to products based on the factory’s capacity and actual machine hours incurred during production. We analyze factory capacity to establish a normal level of production, which serves as the basis for allocating manufacturing overhead costs. This approach ensures that our overhead costs are systematically and consistently allocated to inventory. Advertising and Promotions Costs The Company incurs advertising and promotional expenses related to demos with customers, trade shows, and promotional allowances. Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses were $ 579,507 and $ 223,801 for the nine months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 11 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company incurred stock-based compensation in the amount of $ 177,257 and $ 698,785 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “S egment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure. ” The ASU updated reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 17 “ Segment Reporting ” in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” . The amendments in this ASU add specific requirements for income tax disclosures to improve transparency and decision usefulness. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional qualitative information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that all entities disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The ASU also includes other disclosure amendments related to the disaggregation of income tax expense between federal, state and foreign taxes. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from adoption of this guidance. In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “ Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income -Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ” The guidance requires disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The ASU is effective in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”) which provides a practical expedient for all entities related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 will be adopted prospectively and will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2026, including interim periods in 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. 12 Note 3 – Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer . Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its plant-based snack products in accordance with a five-step model in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as separate performance obligations, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. Revenue is reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on industry-based historical data, historical sales returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time. The Company’s sales are predominantly generated from the sale of finished products to retailers, and to a lesser extent, direct to consumers through third party website platforms. These sales contain a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are received by the retailer or customer, or when the title of goods is exchanged. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. The Company derives these estimates based principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. Payment terms in the Company’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows for the three and nine months ended September 2025 and 2024: Schedule of Revenue For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Revenue $ 3,269,989 $ 2,258,468 $ 9,932,309 $ 5,181,132 Less: slotting, discounts, and allowances 49,962 76,973 219,022 169,635 Net revenue $ 3,220,027 $ 2,181,495 $ 9,713,287 $ 5,011,497 Note 4 – Inventories The Company’s products consist of pre-packaged and bulk-dried fruit and vegetable-based snacks, powders and ingredients developed at its production facility in Peru and purchased products from contract-manufacturers in Chile and/or Peru. Raw materials consist of purchased fruits and vegetables and packaging materials. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. No reserve for obsolete inventories has been recognized. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to work in progress based on the factory’s normal capacity and actual machine hours incurred during production. Overhead costs include indirect labor, factory rent, utilities, depreciation, and other factory-related expenses. Costs such as packaging, tariffs, and inbound freight are included in finished goods inventory as they are necessary to bring products to their final condition and location for sale. Inventory, consisting of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost valuation method, and consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024: Schedule of Inventory September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Raw materials $ 371,481 $ 464,681 Work in progress 827,554 - Finished goods 867,469 1,465,854 Total inventory 2,066,504 1,930,535 The Company secures raw materials with advances of up to 50 %. The Company had prepaid inventory advances on product in the amounts of $ 621,495 and $ 123,792 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. 13 Note 5 – Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables on an ongoing basis and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as needed based on a combination of factors, including historical collection experience, the financial condition of customers, specific account reviews, and current economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover expected credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 25,586 at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had certain customers whose revenue or accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of total net revenue or total accounts receivable, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, three customers accounted for approximately 96% of net revenue and 97% of accounts receivable as of period-end. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 99% of net revenue and 97% of accounts receivable as of period-end.

The Company leases a manufacturing facility located in Pisco, Peru, which is accounted for as an operating lease (see Note 11). The lease includes a purchase option that allows the Company to acquire the facility at the end of the lease term. During 2024, the landlord of this facility entered bankruptcy proceedings. To protect its long-term strategic interests, the Company purchased the first mortgage position on the facility and continues to hold its contractual purchase option under the lease. Management currently intends to acquire ownership of the facility either (i) through the landlord’s bankruptcy settlement process or (ii) by exercising the purchase option at the end of the lease term, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. The Company accounts for the facility as a leased asset. The first mortgage position is included on the balance sheet in other assets of $ 1,267,000 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company capitalizes leasehold improvements related to the buildout of the facility, which expanded the Company’s production capacity. 14 Note 8 – Other Assets and Other Receivable Other Assets The Company has other assets of $ 1,267,000 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consisting of the first mortgage position on the production facility it leases in Pisco, Peru (the “FPM”), which the Company acquired to protect its long-term strategic interests (see Note 11). During 2024, the landlord of the leased facility entered bankruptcy proceedings. On May 10, 2024, the Company made the first payment of $ 275,000 toward the FPM. The FPM is secured by the facility in Peru. Payments were made in various installments totaling $ 355,000 as of December 31, 2024, and $ 912,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Other Receivable The Company’s Peruvian operations are subject to an 18 % value-added tax (“VAT”) or (“Impuesto General a las Ventas” or “IGV”) on substantially all purchases and exports of goods and services. IGV paid on purchases can be offset against IGV collected on exports, with the net amount either remitted to, or recovered from, the Peruvian tax authority (SUNAT), as applicable. This receivable is recoverable through future offsets of IGV payable or, in certain circumstances, through a refund claim. IGV does not represent an expense of the Company when recoverable and is recorded as an asset until applied or refunded. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s Peruvian operations had paid more IGV on purchases than it had collected on sales, resulting in a net IGV receivable of $ 791,797 , of which $ 326,780 is classified in Other Current Assets (see Note 6). The Company has received payments from SUNAT, in the amount of $ 392,173 . Note 9 – Notes Receivable Nanuva Note Receivable On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Manufacturing and Distributorship Agreement (“MDA”) with Natural Nutrition SpA, a Chilean company (“Nanuva”), in which the Company loaned $ 500,000 to Nanuva (“Advance Payment”) to help finance the capital investment needed for Nanuva to purchase two Enwave Rev 10 machines to be used in servicing the Company’s manufacturing needs. The MDA expires on May 31, 2027 , with automatic annual renewals thereafter, unless it is terminated in accordance with the terms of the MDA. The note bears interest at 3 % per annum on the outstanding principal. The Advance Payment is collateralized by a second lien in the equipment. The Company has commenced negotiations with Nanuva to recover the two Enwave Rev 10 Machines and terminate the MDA. On February 4, 2024, the Company and Nanuva entered into an amendment to the MDA which extended the date on which Nanuva is required to make the first minimum contractual annual payment to September 30, 2024. Repayments are based on kilograms produced by Nanuva for the Company, or a minimum of $ 12,000 per contractual year. In April 2024 the Company advanced Nanuva $ 75,600 for inventory orders which were not fulfilled. The Company currently manufactures all of its products at its facility in Pisco, Peru and does not anticipate utilizing Nanuva in the future for third-party manufacturing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the prepaid inventory in the amount of $ 75,600 . As of September 30, 2025, a total of $ 398,800 was outstanding from Nanuva, consisting of $ 359,982 of principal and $ 38,818 of unpaid interest.

As the Company’s lease does not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Peru Facility Lease On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for the 50,000 square-foot Peru Facility, which commenced operations in December of 2024.

The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value. The Company has cash, notes receivable, derivative liabilities and debts that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows: Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. 24 The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024: Schedule of Valuation of Financial Instruments at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash $ 812,007 $ - $ - Right-of-use-asset - - 1,433,625 Notes receivable - 359,982 - Total assets 812,007 359,982 1,433,625 Liabilities Convertible notes payable, related parties net of $ 49,217 of discounts - - 3,350,782 Notes payable - 1,534,500 - Notes payable, related parties - 500,000 - Lease liabilities - - 1,702,250 Total liabilities - 2,034,500 5,053,032 Total assets and liabilities $ 812,007 $ ( 1,674,518 ) $ ( 3,619,407 ) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash $ 2,329,452 $ - $ - Right-of-use-asset - - 1,575,497 Notes receivable - 359,982 - Total assets 2,329,452 359,982 1,575,497 Liabilities Convertible notes payable, related parties net of $ 66,587 of discounts - - 3,333,413 Notes payable - 286,147 - Notes payable, related parties - 2,760,000 - Lease liabilities - - 1,695,039 Total liabilities - 3,046,147 5,028,452 Total assets and liabilities $ 2,329,452 $ ( 2,686,165 ) $ ( 3,452,955 ) There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or the year ended December 31, 2024. Note 17 – Segment Reporting The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, sale, and distribution of plant-based, dehydrated fruit and vegetable snacks and powders. The Company’s products are currently manufactured at its new production facility that commenced production in Pisco Peru in December 2024, and is supported by contract manufacturers in Peru, as necessary. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States. The Company’s sales operations, which represent 100% of the Company’s consolidated sales, are one of its two reportable segments. The sales operations’ segment revenues are predominately earned as consumer products are sold to big box retail customers throughout the United States and via the Company’s online platform. The Company aggregates its operating divisions into two reportable segments due to the operating divisions having similar economic characteristics with similar long-term financial performance, but different geographic locations. The Company’s sales occur entirely from, and within, the United States, while all of the Company’s production processes are conducted in Latin America, which represent its other operating segment. In addition, the Company’s operating divisions offer customers the same products, operate in similar regulatory environments, purchase the majority of the merchandise for retail sale from similar (and in many cases identical) vendors on a coordinated basis from a centralized location, serve of the same customers, and are allocated capital from a centralized location. Operating divisions are organized primarily on a geographical basis so the operating division management team can be responsive to local needs of the operating division and can execute company strategic plans and initiatives throughout the locations in their operating division. This geographical separation is the primary differentiation between these operating divisions. The geographical basis of organization reflects how the business is managed and how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who acts as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses performance internally. 25 The accounting policies of the retail operations segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for the retail operations segment using segment earnings before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest taxes and depreciation. The Company’s CODM also uses segment EBITDA to measure the operational effectiveness of the Company’s financial model, compare the performance of core operating results between periods, against budget and against competitors and evaluate whether to invest capital in the retail operations segment or in other parts of the Company, such as for share repurchases, debt repayments or capital expenditures. The Company’s CODM is not provided asset information by reportable segment as asset information is provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis. The Company’s capital expenditures are predominately used in the Company’s production operations, rather than its retail operations.

On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “SPA”) with Daniel L. Kaufman, as described in Note 12. As of September 30, 2025 the SPA principal outstanding on the Convertible Note was $ 3,400,000 . Kaufman Kapital exercised the $ 1.00 Warrant on June 24, 2025, as described in Note 15. The $ 1.50 Warrant has not been exercised as of September 30, 2025. On August 29, 2024, the Company borrowed $ 1,200,000 from Kaufman Kapital pursuant to the Secured Note, as described in Note 12. On May 7, 2025, and September 30, 2025 the Company repaid $ 325,000 and $ 375,000 of principal on the Secured Note. The principal outstanding is $ 500,000 as of September 30, 2025. Eagle Vision Fund LP, is led by the Company’s CFO, John Dalfonsi. As discussed further in Note 12 above, on various dates from January 9, 2024 through May 22, 2024, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate $ 1,675,000 of Senior Secured Notes and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 518,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, to a group of investors led by Eagle Vision Fund LP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the Company repaid $ 1,560,000 of principal outstanding under the Senior Secured Notes resulting in the payment in full of such notes as of September 30, 2025. During the period ended September 30, 2025, of the 518,750 Warrants issued to purchasers of the Senior Secured Notes, Warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate of 307,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $ 307,500 . 27 Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may be a party to various legal matters, threatened claims, or proceedings in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company assesses the likelihood of outcomes in litigation and makes appropriate accruals and disclosures based on current information and legal counsel’s opinions. There’s no guarantee that these matters won’t significantly impact the Company’s business, financial position, or results of operations. Legal accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss related to a certain matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company is the subject of a lawsuit recently commenced by its former chief financial officer alleging wrongful termination. Based on information currently available to the Company and the advice of legal counsel, management believes that the outcome of this lawsuit is not probable to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit is not possible to predict. At this time given the uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not reasonable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss, and therefore no liability has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements. Other than as set forth above, there are no legal matters pending against the Company. Operating Lease On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for the 50,000 square-foot Peru Facility, which commenced operations in December of 2024. The lease requires monthly lease payments of $ 8,000 in the first two years of the lease, $ 20,000 in the third year of the lease, $ 22,000 in the fourth year of the lease, $ 24,000 in the fourth year of the lease, and $ 25,000 thereafter. The lease also has a 10 -year renewal option, and a buy-out option under which the Company may purchase the Peru Facility for $ 1,865,456 . Finance Lease The Company leases equipment under a non-cancelable finance lease payable in monthly installments of $ 3,657 expiring on May 31, 2028 . NXTDried Manufacturing Agreement On January 19, 2022, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with NXTDried Superfoods SAC to produce products for distribution by the Company. The Company agreed to pre-pay for inventory via an advance to enable the manufacturer to invest in necessary processing facilities that will be reimbursed to the Company on an agreed per kg basis over the period of 2022 to 2026. EnWave License Agreement On May 7, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) with EnWave, pursuant to which EnWave licensed to the Company a collection of patents and intellectual property (the “EnWave Technology”) used to manufacture and operate vacuum microwave dehydration machines purchased by the Company from EnWave (the “EnWave Equipment”). The License Agreement is effective as long as EnWave possesses its EnWave technology. At various dates the License Agreement has been amended to, among other things, modify the exclusivity retention royalty payments required to be paid by the Company. The License Agreement entitles EnWave to a fixed royalty percentage on all of the Company’s revenue from the sale of products produced using the EnWave Technology, net of trade or volume discounts, refunds paid, settled claims for damaged goods, applicable excise, sales and withholding taxes imposed at the time of the sale, and provides the Company with certain exclusivity rights. 28 In order to maintain exclusivity, the Company must make annual royalty minimum payments to EnWave of $ 250,000 per year, commencing in 2025 and continuing through each subsequent year in perpetuity, as long as the Company elects to maintain exclusivity. The Company recognized $ 167,540 of royalty expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In addition to the initial EnWave Equipment we purchased, the Company agreed to purchase additional equipment from EnWave overtime. The additional equipment purchase schedule, as amended, required the Company to purchase a “Second EnWave Machine”, which was purchased in full on December 12, 2024. The Company is also required to execute an Equipment Purchase Agreement for a 120kW, or greater rated power, EnWave Equipment (the “Third EnWave Machine”) on or before December 31, 2025, and satisfy the payment obligations required with respect to the Third EnWave Machine by the License Agreement. On September 16, 2025 the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement for the Third EnWave Machine, a refurbished 120kW REV vacuum microwave for a purchase price of $ 1,500,000 . The purchase price is payable in 24 equal monthly installments, commencing April 1, 2026, pursuant to a secured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) bearing interest at the rate of 8.00 % per annum. The Company is also required to enter an Equipment Purchase Agreement for a 120kW, or greater, rated power EnWave Equipment (the “Fourth EnWave Machine”) on, or before, December 31, 2026, and to satisfy the payment obligations required with respect to the Fourth EnWave Machine by the License Agreement. The license is not discernible from the equipment; therefore, the license costs have been capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the equipment. Note 20 - Income Taxes The Company incurred a net operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. On September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $ 13.7 million of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2041. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, was 21 %. The Company has incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Federal and state deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Additionally, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions. Note 21 – Subsequent Events The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued, noting no reportable event, except as follows: Stock Options Grant On October 15, 2025 the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock having an exercise price of $ 2.09 per share, exercisable over a 10-year term, to an employee for services performed. The options vest in 36 equal monthly installments over the three-year period following the issuance date. The aggregate estimated value using the plain vanilla Black-Scholes Pricing Model, based on a volatility rate of 45 % and a call option value of $ 1.6343 , and an expected term of 6.5 years, was $ 53,238 . Exercise of Warrants On October 17, 2025 warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate of 61,381 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.96 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $ 58,926 . On various dates in October and November 2025 warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate 50,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $ 50,000 . 29 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to historical condensed financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Overview BranchOut Food Inc., is reimagining how the world eats fruits and vegetables. We are engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of plant-based, dehydrated fruit and vegetable snacks and powders manufactured in a 50,000 square foot production facility that we lease in Pisco, Peru (the “Peru Facility”). At the Peru Facility, utilizing proprietary GentleDry™ Technology, we are able to turn fresh fruits and vegetables into clean, crunchy snacks and industrial ingredients within just 10 days. GentleDry™ Technology is an advanced dehydration platform licensed to us exclusively by EnWave Corporation for certain fruits and vegetables. This technology allows us to develop differentiated fruit and vegetable products using optimized GentleDry™ settings that preserve taste, texture, color, and nutrients. We believe GentleDry™ is superior to traditional freeze-dry processing because it retains: ● three times more natural flavor compounds, ● up to 22 times more aromatic compounds, and ● up to 95% of original vitamins and antioxidants. Additionally, our process speed is faster, making us more energy efficient; our food doesn’t oxidize, preserving the flavor and color; and our technology is protected by more than 17 patents. Our Products We plan to continue to grow revenues strategically by penetrating the multi-billion dollar grocery, industrial ingredient and online markets. Our current product line includes: ● BranchOut Snacks: dehydrated fruit and vegetable-based snacks, including Avocado Chips, Chewy Banana Bites, Pineapple Chips, Brussels Sprout Crisps, Strawberry Crisps and Bell Pepper Crisps. ● Private Label: Prunes, Carrots, Brussel Sprouts and Raisins sold to major retailers. ● BranchOut Industrial Ingredients: Banana, Mango, Blueberry, Pineapple, Cherry Tomato, Avocado and many others. We are currently developing many additional products for all sales channels. Going Concern Uncertainty As of September 30, 2025, we had a cash balance of $812,007, a positive working capital of $2,118,922, and had incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $21,656,147. Although we anticipate that our results of operations will improve substantially as a result of the recent launch of our new facility in Peru, there can be no assurance in that regard. If we continue to generate substantial operating losses, we will not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we will need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital. Peru Facility Lease On May 10, 2024, we entered into a ten-year lease for the 50,000 square-foot Peru Facility, which commenced operations in December of 2024. The lease of the Peru Facility requires monthly lease payments of $8,000 in the first two years of the lease, $20,000 in the third year of the lease, $22,000 in the fourth year of the lease, $24,000 in the fourth year of the lease, and $25,000 thereafter. The lease also has a 10-year renewal option, and a buy-out option under which the Company plans to exercise the buy-out option and purchase the Peru Facility for $1,865,456. In connection with the lease of the Peru Facility, we purchased a first position mortgage receivable in the amount of $1,267,000, which is secured by the Peru Facility and was owed by the landlord of the Peru Facility to its former tenant, for a purchase price of $1,267,000, of which payments were made in various installments totaling $355,000 as of December 31, 2024 and $912,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. 30 Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 The following table summarizes selected items from the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Three Months Ended September 30, Increase / 2025 2024 (Decrease) Net revenue $ 3,220,027 $ 2,181,495 $ 1,038,532 Cost of goods sold 2,650,477 1,845,155 805,322 Gross profit 569,550 336,340 233,210 Gross margin 17.7 % 15.4 % Operating expenses: General and administrative 897,512 316,688 580,824 Salaries and benefits 422,069 309,433 112,636 Professional services 248,640 369,525 (120,885 ) Advertising and promotions 271,872 125,597 146,275 Shipping and handling 156,961 118,252 38,709 Total operating expenses 1,997,054 1,239,495 757,559 Operating loss (1,427,504 ) (903,155 ) (524,349 ) Other income (expense): Interest income 3,916 2,882 1,034 Interest expense (148,964 ) (370,532 ) 221,568 Total other income (expense) (145,048 ) (367,650 ) 222,602 Net loss $ (1,572,552 ) $ (1,270,805 ) $ (301,747 ) Net Revenue Our net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $3,220,027, compared to $2,181,495 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1,038,532, or 48%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased sales to our largest customer during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $2,650,477, compared to $1,845,155 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $805,322, or 44%. Cost of goods sold increased primarily due to increased sales during the three months ended September 30, 2025. We had gross profit of $569,550, representing gross margins of 17.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a gross profit of $336,340, or 15.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin increased primarily due to the transition of manufacturing operations from third-party suppliers to our facility located in Pisco, Peru. This insourcing initiative created greater control over production processes, improved product quality, reduced contract manufacturing costs, and improved overall efficiency shortening the production cycle and allowing for faster order fulfillment. As production continues to scale, we expect further margin expansion from manufacturing existing products more efficiently and from our enhanced ability to bring new products to market more quickly. 31 General and Administrative Our general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $897,512, compared to $316,688 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $580,824, or 183%. The largest components of our general and administrative expenses are plant idle capacity, research and development, rent, travel, and commissions, as shown below. Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Difference % Change Idle Capacity $ 368,586 $ - $ 368,586 100 % Research and development $ 190,875 $ - $ 190,875 100 % Rent $ 50,870 $ 160,751 $ (109,881 ) (68 )% Travel $ 39,894 $ 30,502 $ 9,392 31 % Commissions $ 63,928 $ 24,910 $ 39,018 157 % Idle capacity increased due to the opening of the production facility located in Pisco, Peru. In December 2024 operations commenced at the facility. As our factory scales, idle capacity will decrease. Commissions increased due to increased sales. Salaries and Wages Salaries and wages for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $422,069, compared to $309,433 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $112,636, or 36%. This increase was primarily attributable to $55,206 of amortization of stock options issued to employees for services performed and $42,238 in salaries and wages relates to the hiring of employees to support production ramp-up at the Peru facility. Professional Fees Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $248,640, compared to $369,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $120,885, or 33%. The decrease is mostly attributable to a decrease in legal fees related to establishing the Company’s Peru facility in 2024. Shipping and handling Shipping and handling for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $156,961, compared to $118,252 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $38,709 or 33%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes. Advertising and promotions Advertising and promotions for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $271,872, compared to $125,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $146,275, or 116%. Advertising and promotions expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, mostly due to increased in-store product demos with one of our largest customers. Other Income (Expense) In the three months ended September 30, 2025, other expense was $145,048 on a net basis, consisting of $148,964 of interest expense, as partially offset by $3,916 of interest income. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, other expense was $367,650 on a net basis, consisting of $370,532 of interest expense, as partially offset by $2,882 of interest income. Other expense decreased by $222,602, or 61%, primarily due to the 2024 $150,462 write-off of deferred financing costs and $89,949 of additional interest expense related to the modification of warrants. Net loss Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $1,572,552, compared to $1,270,805 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $301,747, or 24%. The increased net loss was due to scaling up production at our in-house manufacturing facility. Our objective is to achieve 100% utilization, which we believe will allow us to leverage fixed costs, improve operating efficiency, and capture additional gross margin benefits as production volumes grow. 32 Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 The following table summarizes selected items from the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit Our cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $7,984,763, compared to $4,242,810 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3,741,953, or 125%. Cost of goods sold increased primarily due to increased sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As a result of the foregoing, we had gross profit of $1,728,524, representing gross margins of 17.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a gross margin of $768,687, of 15.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin increased primarily due to the transition of manufacturing operations from third-party suppliers to our facility located in Pisco, Peru. This insourcing initiative created greater control over production processes, improved product quality, reduced contract manufacturing costs, and improved overall efficiency shortening the production cycle and allowing for faster order fulfillment. As production continues to scale, we expect further margin expansion from manufacturing existing products more efficiently and from our enhanced ability to bring new products to market more quickly. 33 General and Administrative Our general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $2,204,559, compared to $666,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1,537,959, or 231%.

In December 2024 operations commenced at the facility. As our factory scales, idle capacity will decrease. Rent increase is related to the Pisco, Peru production facility. Travel increased due to the opening of the facility in Peru and sales initiatives to expand production distribution. Commissions increased due to increased sales. Salaries and Wages Salaries and wages for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1,172,474, compared to $1,257,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $84,842, or 7%. This decrease was primarily attributable to $408,700 of non-cash, stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $102,289 of non-cash, stock-based compensation related to stock options awarded during the current period. This decrease is mostly offset by increases in salaries and wages related to the hiring of employees to support production ramp-up at the Peru facility. Professional Fees Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $806,736, compared to $1,064,567 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $257,831, or 24%. This decrease was primarily attributable to $290,085 of non-cash, stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Shipping and handling Shipping and handling for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $421,313, compared to $311,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $110,240 or 35%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes. Advertising and promotions Advertising and promotions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $579,507, compared to $223,801 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $355,706, or 159%. Advertising and promotions expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in 2024, mostly due to increased in-store product demos with one of our largest customers. Other Income (Expense) In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other expense was $638,025 on a net basis, consisting of $653,677 of interest expense, as partially offset by $15,652 of interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other expense was $509,656 on a net basis, consisting of $518,233 of interest expense, as partially offset by $8,577 of interest income. Other expense increased by $128,369, or 25%, primarily due to interest on the Kaufman Convertible Note and notes payable with related parties. 34 Net loss Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $4,094,090, compared to $3,264,326 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $829,764, or 25%. The increased net loss was due to scaling up production at our in-house manufacturing facility. Our objective is to achieve 100% utilization, which we believe will allow us to leverage fixed costs, improve operating efficiency, and capture additional gross margin benefits as production volumes grow. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following table summarizes our total current assets, liabilities and working capital as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 Current Assets $ 5,460,580 $ 4,916,614 Current Liabilities $ 3,341,658 $ 8,813,996 Working Capital $ 2,118,922 $ (3,897,382 ) As of September 30, 2025, we had positive working capital of $2,118,922. We have incurred net losses since our inception and we anticipate net losses and negative operating cash flows for the near future, and we may not be profitable or realize growth in the value of our assets. To date, our primary sources of capital have been cash generated from the sales of our products, common stock sales, and debt and equity financing. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $812,007, total liabilities of $9,544,563, and an accumulated deficit of $21,656,147. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of $2,329,452, total liabilities of $10,514,292, and an accumulated deficit of $17,562,057. Cash Flow Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025, and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash for the periods presented below: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Net cash used in operating activities $ (5,064,017 ) $ (3,259,049 ) Net cash used in investing activities (573,991 ) (2,095,691 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 4,093,929 5,767,938 Effect of exchange rate changes on cash 26,634 (1,794 ) Net change in cash $ (1,517,445 ) $ 411,404 Net Cash Used in Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities was $5,064,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,259,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1,804,968, or 55%. The increase was primarily due to a $1,065,942 increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales volumes and a $573,303 increase in prepaid inventory to secure raw materials. 35 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $573,991 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2,095,691 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $1,521,700, or 73%. This decrease was primarily attributable to less equipment purchases and capital expenditures for the build out of the Peru facility. Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,093,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $5,767,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an decrease of $1,674,009, or 29%. Our decreased cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to principal repayments on notes payable to related parties offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock and exercise of warrants. Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the translation impact from fluctuations in the value of the Peruvian sol relative to the U.S. dollar. During the period, the sol experienced modest depreciation against the U.S. dollar, resulting in a gain on foreign currency translation of $26,634 compared to a loss of $1,794 in the comparative period. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. As of April 1, 2025, we changed our manufacturing cost allocation methodology from kilograms produced, to machine hours used in production, to improve costing as we scale product mix and invest in research and development. The change resulted in an immaterial impact to the valuation of inventory and resulting costs of goods sold from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures for our company. Consequently, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2025. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). 37 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is the subject of a lawsuit recently commenced by its former chief financial officer alleging wrongful termination. Based on information currently available to the Company and the advice of legal counsel, management believes that the outcome of this lawsuit is not probable to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit is not possible to predict. At this time given the uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not reasonable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss, and therefore no liability has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements. Other than as set forth above, there are no legal matters pending against the Company. ITEM 1A.
