Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
discussion includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations
that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events

expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.
We
caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks
and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon

of Operation for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenue
and cost of revenue
Revenue
increased $2,702,000, or 92%, to $5,632,000 in 2026 as compared to $2,930,000 in 2025. Arps Dairy contributed $2,837,000 to revenue,
including $2,566,000 in raw and processed milk sales.
The
acquisition of Arps Dairy gives us the expanded capacity we have sought over the past three years, necessary to service our customer
base and expand our sales reach.
Cost
of revenue increased $2,569,000, or 127%, to $4,599,000 in 2026 as compared to $2,030,000 in 2025. Cost of revenue increased at a higher
rate compared to revenue due to the inclusion of the raw and processed milk operations after the Acquisition. Products in this segment
are generally commodities with commensurate margins, but provide a strategic milk supply to the business and contribute to fixed overhead
costs. Cost of revenue in the frozen beverages and food segment, which consisted primarily of Barfresh legacy products in 2026, increased
at the same rate as revenue.
15
Our
gross profit was $1,033,000 (18%) and $900,000 (31%) for 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Gross
profit from frozen beverages and food was $905,000 in 2026 (30%) compared to $900,000 in 2025 (31%). The slight decrease is due to product
mix.
Gross
profit from raw and processed milk was $128,000 in 2026 (5%).

Selling,
marketing and distribution expense decreased approximately $127,000 (15%) from approximately $824,000 in 2025 to $697,000 in 2026.
Sales
and marketing expense decreased approximately $179,000 (41%) from approximately $433,000 in 2025 to $254,000 in 2026. The decrease is
a result of lower personnel costs as we rely more heavily on our broker network, as well as a decrease in sample expense, which was elevated
in 2025 due to the introduction of our Pop & Go freeze pops. Additionally, equipment maintenance expense for machines provided to
our customers for use with our bulk products decreased, as single serve products have become more prominent in the school setting.
Storage
and outbound freight expense increased approximately $52,000 (13%) from approximately $391,000 in 2025 to $443,000 in 2026, primarily
due to costs associated with the delivery of processed milk at Arps Dairy.

General
and administrative expenses increased approximately $8,000 (1%) from approximately $747,000 in 2025 to $755,000 in 2026.
Personnel
cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes. Personnel cost decreased by
approximately $14,000 (4%) from approximately $372,000 in 2025 to $358,000 in 2026. The decrease in personnel cost resulted from decreased
head count, and lower employer payroll taxes due to timing of vesting of stock-based compensation.
Stock-based
compensation decreased by approximately $56,000 (35%) from $158,000 in 2025 to $102,000 in 2026 as a result of lower expected attainment
under our performance stock unit program.
Legal,
professional and consulting fees increased by approximately $26,000 (32%) from $81,000 in 2025 to $107,000 in 2026 due to costs of temporary
personnel associated with integration of Arps Dairy.
Other
general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $25,000 (21%) due to travel costs associated with the integration of Arps
Dairy.

Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $225,000 in 2026 compared to $23,000 in 2025. The increase of $202,000 is a result of mortgage debt, notes and lease financing
related to the Acquisition and the purchase of equipment required for the New Facility, as well as the issuance of $7,528,000 of convertible
notes in March 2026.
Net
loss
We
had net losses of approximately $661,000 and $761,000 for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease
in net loss of approximately $100,000 was primarily due to a decrease in the loss from operations of $302,000, offset by an increase of
$202,000 in interest expense incurred related to the acquisition of Arps Dairy and the build out of the New Facility.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
February 5, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with several investors, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate
of 1,052,793 shares of common stock at a price of $2.85 per share in a registered direct offering, raising $2,974,000.
Our continuing dispute with the Manufacturer and the resulting loss of product
supply in 2022 negatively impacted our financial position, results of operations and cash flow. Subsequently, we contracted with a co-manufacturer
for additional smoothie bottle manufacturing capacity. While expanded capacity became available from manufacturer C in the fourth quarter
of 2024, we were notified in 2025 that manufacturers A and B elected to discontinue production of smoothie bottles and smoothie cartons
in January 2026 and December 2025, respectively. The Acquisition was undertaken to resolve constrained capacity experienced since
2022 under the co-manufacturing business model.
In
order to consummate the Acquisition, we paid $1,223,000, net of cash acquired, to purchase 100% of Arps Dairy stock. Additionally, we
incurred $518,000 in acquisition costs in 2025. In order to finance the Acquisition, we increased our receivables-based line of credit
in September 2025 to $2,500,000. As a result of the Acquisition, $5,251,000 of mortgage debt, construction related payables and advances
from former shareholders payable by Arps Dairy became short-term financial commitments of the Company. The Acquisition was structured
to allow us to take control of Arps Dairy manufacturing operations ahead of completing all necessary long-term financing activities.
Following
the Acquisition, Arps Dairy secured a receivables-based line of credit of $1,250,000.
We
acquired $823,000 of equipment through leasing transactions in 2025 and the first three months of 2026. In December 2025, we were granted
$2,400,000 to fund up to 50% of the cost of new equipment purchases and installation for the New Facility.
In
February 2026, $400,000 of Arps selling shareholder advances were converted into shares of our common stock.
In
March 2026, we raised $7,528,000 through the sale of convertible promissory notes. The proceeds were used to retire $2,541,000 in mortgage
debt and construction payables, and are expected to be used to repay remaining construction related payables as well as complete construction
of the New Facility in 2026.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we used $2,382,000 in operations. Our net loss adjusted for non-cash operating expenses was a loss
of $455,000, while changes in current assets and liabilities used $1,927,000 primarily because of settlements of amounts due to co-manufacturers
who discontinued providing product in December 2025 and January 2026.
17
As
of March 31, 2026, we had net current assets of $903,000, including $1,861,000 of construction payables, compared with net current liabilities
of $6,303,000 on December 31, 2025. Disputed accounts payable due to the Manufacturer of $499,000 are excluded from both March 31, 2026
and December 31, 2025 amounts.
Our
operations to date have been financed by the sale of securities, the issuance of convertible and short-term debt and equipment leasing.
Our liquidity needs will depend on careful management of the construction of the New Facility, as well as how quickly we are able to
profitably ramp up sales, achieve manufacturing cost synergies anticipated as a result of the Acquisition, control and reduce variable
operating expenses, and control fixed overhead expense. There are no assurances that the grant received in December 2025 and the proceeds
from the sale of convertible promissory notes in March 2026 will be sufficient to carry out our current plan of operations. We anticipate
that we will have additional sources of liquidity, if required, through mortgage financing supported by the guarantee of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and equipment lease financing, among other options. However, there are no assurances that these funds will
be available. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, control construction costs, or raise additional capital
through debt issuances, we may be required to raise additional funds in the form of equity.
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.
