Note
1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh
Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February
25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend
beverages, particularly, smoothies, shakes and frappes.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and
applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for
a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and
Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
Vendor
Concentrations
The
Company is exposed to supply risk as a result of concentrations in its vendor base resulting from the use of a limited number of contract
manufacturers. Purchases from the Company’s significant contract manufacturers as a percentage of all finished goods purchased
were as follows:

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
There
have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes.
Fair
Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities permitted to be either recorded or
disclosed at fair value based on a hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level
1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
Level
2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
and
Level
3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable (i.e., supported
by little or no market activity).
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value
of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Restricted
Cash
At
December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 211,000 in restricted cash related to a co-packing agreement. The restrictions were
released in June 2023.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowances
Accounts
receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances for credits and for any potential uncollectible amounts
due to credit losses. We make estimates of the expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on
our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our
customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Expected credit
losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2023
and December 31, 2022, there was no allowance for expected credit losses.
Other
Receivables
Other
receivables consist of the Company’s 2021 Employer Retention Tax Credit claim, amounts due from vendors for materials acquired
on their behalf for use in manufacturing the Company’s products, vendor rebates and freight claims.
7
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods.
The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these
goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
1)
Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (I) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s
rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration
for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also
be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
2)
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. For the
Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
3)
Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes rebates or discounts, are estimated
utilizing the most likely amount method. Provisions for refunds are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded,
based on management’s assessment of historical and projected trends.
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since
the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated
to that single performance obligation.
5)
Recognize
revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods,
which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based rebates or
discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfilment
costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
Payments
that are received before performance obligations are recorded are shown as current liabilities.
The
Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a single
product, frozen beverages.
8
Storage
and Shipping Costs
Storage
and outbound freight costs are included in selling, marketing and distribution expense. For the three months ending June 30, 2023 and
2022, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $ 251,000 and $ 319,000 , respectively. For the six months ending June 30, 2023
and 2022, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $ 562,000 and $ 768,000 , respectively.
Research
and Development
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. The Company incurred approximately
$ 35,000 and $ 96,000 , in research and development expense for the three months ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the six
months ending June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $ 56,000 and $ 126,000 , respectively.
Loss
Per Share
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 common stock equivalents have not been included in the calculation of net loss
per share as their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of losses incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2022 financial statements to conform to the 2023 presentation, namely the presentation of
selling, marketing and distribution expense apart from general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
operations, the reclassification of materials shipping from selling, marketing and distribution to cost of revenue, and the
presentation of the components of cash used in operations.
Recent
Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the
impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Note
2. Restatement of Prior Financial Information
This
Company’s previously filed unaudited statement of operations and cash flow statement and audited balance sheets have been restated
to correct errors in calculating depreciation. From a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the Company determined that correcting
the previously filed financial statements would not require amendment to its previously filed reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K. The effect
of the correction of previously issued financial statements is summarized below:

Note
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease
Commitments
The
Company leases office space under a non-cancellable operating lease which expired on March 31, 2023 , and was extended through September
30, 2023 . The Company’s periodic lease cost was approximately $ 20,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
and $ 40,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Legal
Proceedings
Schreiber
Dispute
The
Company’s products are produced to its specifications through several contract manufacturers. One of the Company’s contract
manufacturers (the “Manufacturer”) provided approximately 52 % and 42 % of the Company’s products in the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under a Supply Agreement with an initial term through September 2025.
Over
the course of 2022, the Company experienced numerous quality issues with the case packaging utilized by the Manufacturer. In addition,
in July of 2022, the Company began receiving customer complaints about the texture of the Company’s smoothie products produced
by the Manufacturer. In response, the Company withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory, withholding $ 499,000
in payments due to the Manufacturer.
The
Company attempted to resolve the issues based on the contractual procedures described in the Supply Agreement. However, on November
4, 2022, in response to a formal proposal of alternate resolutions, the Company received notification from the Manufacturer that it
was denying any responsibility for the defective manufacture of the product. In response, on November 10, 2022, the Company filed a
complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division (the
“Complaint”), claiming that the Manufacturer had not met its obligations under the Supply Agreement, and seeking
economic damages. In response, the Manufacturer terminated the Supply Agreement. On January 20, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary
dismissal of the Complaint which allows the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, if the
parties are once again unable to come to an agreement, the Company has informed the Manufacturer that it intends to re-file the
Complaint in California State Court by the end of August , 2023.
Due
to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, the Company is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible
recoveries that could result from its actions against the Manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The disruption
in its supply resulting from the dispute has and will continue to adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and
cash flow until a suitable resolution is reached or new sources of reliable supply at sufficient volume can be identified and
developed, the timing of which is uncertain. The Company has partially mitigated the impact of the supply disruption with the introduction of its single-serve
smoothie cartons.

Other
legal matters
From
time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to
inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are
currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe the probability
of a material unfavorable outcome is remote.

Equity
Incentive Plan
Through
2022, the Company issued equity awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and outside the Plan. In June
2023, the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), reserving 650,000 shares
for future issuance. The Board of Directors discontinued further grants under the 2015 Plan.
As
of June 30, 2023, the Company has $ 194,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense relative to unvested options, stock
awards and stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.7 years.

In
February 2023, the unvested awards issued for individual performance and outstanding at January 1, 2023 were modified to cash-settle
the original grant-date fair value of approximately $ 80,000 , resulting in incremental compensation of $ 56,000 after considering the $ 24,000
fair value of the vested shares at the date of the modification. Additionally, the Company performance targets were modified to allow
approximately 71,000 PSU to vest, with an additional time-based vesting requirement for approximately 26,000 of the PSU. Because the
awards did not vest based on the original terms, the modification was considered a new grant, resulting in $ 64,000 in compensation expense
in the six-months ended June 30, 2023.
The
Company adopted a 2023 PSU program in April 2023, granting approximately 211,000 PSUs at target performance. The results for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2023 include the reversal of $ 67,000 in stock-based compensation expense recorded in the three months ended March
31, 2023, as management does not anticipate at this time that 2023 performance will be achieved. The results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2023 includes no expense for the 2023 PSU program. Estimates of expense associated with 2023 performance will be
reassessed each quarter through the performance period.
Note
7. Income Taxes
ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely
than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a
valuation allowance on all tax assets. As of June 30, 2023, the estimated effective tax rate for 2023 was zero .
There
are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2018 through
the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of
operations.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Note
8. Subsequent Event
In
August 2023, the Company received subscriptions of approximately $ 1,130,000 of a $ 2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering.
The debt may be drawn in 25% increments, matures on the anniversary of the draw, bears interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless
of earlier payment or conversion, and is mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common
stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten
trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If the Company has not
exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt has the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all
or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price.
Note
9. Liquidity
During
the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company used cash for operations of $ 2,067,000 . The Company has a history of operating losses
and negative cash flow, which were expected to improve with growth, offset by working capital required to achieve such growth. As described
more fully in Note 5, the dispute and subsequent contract termination with the Manufacturer has resulted in uncertainty around our ability
to procure product, which in turn may inhibit our ability to achieve positive cash flow. Additionally, management has considered that
dispute resolution, including litigation, is costly and will require the outlay of cash.
However,
as of June 30, 2023, the Company has $ 952,000
of cash and in August 2023, obtained a funding commitment of approximately $ 1,130,000
as more fully described in Note 8. As such, even though management has identified certain indicators, these indicators do not raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot predict, with
certainty, the outcome of its potential actions to generate liquidity, including the availability of additional financing, or
whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as planned.

Results
of Operations
Results
of Operation for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenue
and cost of revenue
Revenue
decreased $1,288,000, or 46%, from $2,799,000 in 2022 to $1,511,000 in 2023. The decline in revenue was due to limited supply caused
by our product withdrawal resulting from the quality complaints with product purchased from the Manufacturer. We anticipate that our
revenues will be adversely impacted as a result of the dispute unless and until new sources of reliable supply at sufficient volume can
be identified and developed, the timing of which is uncertain.
Cost
of revenue for 2023 was $1,037,000 as compared to $1,916,000 in 2022. Our gross profit was $474,000 (31%) and $883,000 (32%) for 2023
and 2022, respectively. Cost of revenue declined as a result of the 46% decrease in revenue as well as a shift in product mix resulting
from the limited supply of smoothie bottles, partially offset by additional inventory reserves, resulting from the quality complaints.

Personnel
cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be our largest
cost. Personnel cost decreased by approximately $118,000 (33%) from approximately $362,000 to $244,000 and stock-based compensation decreased
by approximately $129,000 (113%) from $114,000 to ($15,000). The decrease in personnel cost and stock-based compensation resulted primarily
from the confirmation and recognition of our 2021 COVID-related tax credit, reduction in headcount, and reversal of previously recognized
compensation under our 2023 performance stock unit program, as management does not currently expect that performance criteria will be
achieved.
Research
and development expense decreased approximately $61,000 (64%) from approximately $96,000 in 2022 to $35,000 in 2023 as activities were
minimized to conserve working capital.

Net
loss
We
had net losses of approximately $742,000 and $716,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase
of approximately $26,000, was the result of the aforementioned changes in revenue, partially offset by reductions in cost and expenses.

Revenue
decreased $1,723,000, or 32%, from $5,325,000 in 2022 to $3,602,000 in 2023. The decline in revenue was due to limited supply caused

Personnel
cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be our largest
cost. Personnel cost increased by approximately $63,000 (9%) from approximately $670,000 to $733,000. The increase in personnel cost
resulted primarily from an increase in headcount during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the confirmation and recognition
of our 2021 COVID-related tax credit, and a reduction in headcount in the second quarter of 2023.
Research
and development expense decreased approximately $70,000 (56%) from approximately $126,000 in 2022 to $56,000 in 2023 as activities were
minimized to conserve working capital.
Other general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $82,000
(22%) from approximately $366,000 in 2022 to $284,000 in 2023 primarily as a result of non-recurring costs related to our uplisting to
the NASDAQ stock exchange in 2022, partially offset by costs related by our dispute with the Manufacturer.
Net
loss
We
had net losses of approximately $1,647,000 and $1,589,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase
of approximately $58,000, was the result of the aforementioned changes in revenue, partially offset by reductions in cost and expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2023, we had working capital of $554,000 compared with $1,801,000 at December 31, 2022. The decrease in working capital is
primarily due to the operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $2,067,000 in operations.
The
impact of COVID-19 on the Company is constantly evolving. The direct impact to our operations had begun to take effect at the close of
the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Specifically, our business was impacted by dining bans targeted at restaurants to reduce the
size of public gatherings. Such bans precluded our single serve products from being served at those establishments for a number of weeks,
and in some instances, resulted in abandoned product launches. Furthermore, many school districts closed regular attendance for a period
of time thereby disrupting sales of product into that channel. More recently, we have experienced a disruption in the supply chain for
manufacturing our products due to COVID-19. While further developments surrounding COVID-19 may arise, the business climate appears to
have stabilized in 2023.
On
June 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of 1,282,051 shares of its common stock at $4.68 per share, resulting in gross
proceeds of $6,000,000. In addition, holders of debt converted a total of $399,000 in principal and $234,000 in interest into 133,991
shares of common stock and debt in the amount of $840,000 was retired, leaving the Company with no debt.
18
In
August 2023, the Company received subscriptions of approximately $1,130,000 of a $2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering.
The debt may be drawn in 25% increments, matures on the anniversary of the draw, bears interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless
of earlier payment or conversion, and is mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common
stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten
trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If the Company has not
exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt has the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all
or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price.
Our
liquidity needs will depend on how quickly we are able to profitably ramp up sales, as well as our ability to control and reduce variable
operating expenses, and to continue to control and reduce fixed overhead expense. Our recent business developments with the Manufacturer
impact our supply chain and will result in increased legal cost and are expected to have a negative impact on our financial position,
results of operations and cash flow.
Our
operations to date have been financed by the sale of securities, the issuance of convertible debt and the issuance of short-term debt,
including related party advances. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations with the capital raised we will be
required to raise additional funds either in the form of equity or in the form of debt. There are no assurances that we will be able
to generate the necessary capital to carry out our current plan of operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
are material to stockholders.

4 . Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
Rule 13(a)-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported
on a timely basis and are effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Management
has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
Management
has concluded that there is a material weakness due to the control environment which led to a restatement in the current quarter. The control environment is impacted due to the
company’s inadequate segregation of duties, including information technology control activities.
19
Since
the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers
its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.
In
an effort to remediate the identified material weakness and enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we have hired additional
personnel to help ensure that we are able to properly implement internal control procedures.
Management
believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

As
described in Note 5, the Company has an on-going dispute with the Manufacturer, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time.
From
time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to
inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are
currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe a material
