Critical Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Results of Operations Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenue and cost of revenue Revenue increased $3,082,000, or 190%, to $4,707,000 in 2026 as compared to $1,625,000 in 2025. Arps Dairy contributed $3,193,000 to revenue, including $2,943,000 in raw and processed milk sales. Revenue in the frozen beverages and food segment increased 9%. 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 $3,738,000, or 334%, to $4,857,000 in 2026 as compared to $1,119,000 in 2025. Cost of revenue increased at a significantly 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 76% due to start-up costs and lower than anticipated productivity at the Existing Facility. Our gross loss was $150,000 (-3%) for 2026 and our gross profit was $506,000 (31%) for 2025. Gross loss from frozen beverages and food was $209,000 (-12%) in 2026 compared to a gross profit of $506,000 (31%) in 2025. The decrease is due to high start-up costs and lower than anticipated productivity at the Existing Facility. Gross profit from raw and processed milk was $59,000 (2%) in 2026. 17 Selling, marketing and distribution expense Three months ended June 30, 2026 Three months ended June 30, 2025 Change Percent Sales and marketing $ 256,000 $ 358,000 $ (102,000 ) -28 % Storage and outbound freight 305,000 276,000 29,000 11 % $ 561,000 $ 634,000 $ (73,000 ) -12 % Selling, marketing and distribution expense decreased approximately $73,000 (12%) from approximately $634,000 in 2025 to $561,000 in 2026. Sales and marketing expense decreased approximately $102,000 (28%) from approximately $358,000 in 2025 to $256,000 in 2026. The decrease is a result of lower personnel costs as we rely more heavily on our broker network. 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 $29,000 (11%) from approximately $276,000 in 2025 to $305,000 in 2026, primarily due to costs associated with the delivery of processed milk at Arps Dairy, partially offset by lower revenue and finished goods inventory of legacy Barfresh products. General and administrative expense Three months ended June 30, 2026 Three months ended June 30, 2025 Change Percent Personnel costs $ 335,000 $ 292,000 $ 43,000 15 % Stock-based compensation 154,000 139,000 15,000 11 % Legal, professional and consulting fees 67,000 30,000 37,000 123 % Research and development 37,000 31,000 6,000 19 % Other general and administrative expenses 161,000 127,000 34,000 27 % Business acquisition expense 40,000 54,000 (14,000 ) -26 % $ 794,000 $ 673,000 $ 121,000 18 % General and administrative expenses increased approximately $121,000 (18%) from approximately $673,000 in 2025 to $794,000 in 2026. Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes. Personnel cost increased by approximately $43,000 (15%) from approximately $292,000 in 2025 to $335,000 in 2026 due to the addition of headcount associated with Arps Dairy. Legal, professional and consulting fees increased by approximately $37,000 (123%) from $30,000 in 2025 to $67,000 in 2026 primarily due to timing of audit fees associated with the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K. Other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $34,000 (27%) due to increased recruiting, information technology and insurance expense associated with Arps Dairy. 18 Interest Expense Interest expense was $344,000 in 2026 compared to $12,000 in 2025. The increase of $332,000 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 $1,861,000 and $880,000 for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in net loss of approximately $981,000 was primarily due to an increase in loss from operations of $649,000, and an increase of $332,000 in interest expense incurred related to the acquisition of Arps Dairy and the build out of the New Facility. Results of Operation for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenue and cost of revenue Revenue increased $5,784,000, or 127%, to $10,339,000 in 2026 as compared to $4,555,000 in 2025. Arps Dairy contributed $6,021,000 to revenue, including $5,508,000 in raw and processed milk sales. Cost of revenue increased $6,307,000, or 200%, to $9,456,000 in 2026 as compared to $3,149,000 in 2025. Cost of revenue increased at a higher rate compared to revenue as low margin milk processing revenue made up 53% of the revenue mix. Additionally, start-up costs and low productivity significantly impacted the cost of legacy Barfresh products that were produced at the Existing Facility. Our gross profit was $883,000 (9%) and $1,406,000 (31%) for 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gross profit from frozen beverages and food was $696,000 (14%) and $1,406,000 in 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is due to high start-up costs and lower than anticipated productivity at the Existing Facility. Selling, marketing and distribution expense Six months ended June 30, 2026 Six months ended June 30, 2025 Change Percent Sales and marketing $ 510,000 $ 791,000 $ (281,000 ) -36 % Storage and outbound freight 748,000 667,000 81,000 12 % $ 1,258,000 $ 1,458,000 $ (200,000 ) -14 % Selling, marketing and distribution expense decreased approximately $200,000 (14%) from approximately $1,458,000 in 2025 to $1,258,000 in 2026. Sales and marketing expense decreased approximately $281,000 (36%) from approximately $791,000 in 2025 to $510,000 in 2026. The decrease is a result of lower personnel costs as we rely more heavily on our broker network. 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. Finally, sample expense decreased due to non-recurring sample costs associated with the 2025 launch of our Pop & Go product. Storage and outbound freight expense increased approximately $81,000 (12%) from approximately $667,000 in 2025 to $748,000 in 2026, primarily due to costs associated with the delivery of processed milk at Arps Dairy, partially offset by lower revenue and finished goods inventory of legacy Barfresh products. 19 General and administrative expense Six months ended June 30, 2026 Six months ended June 30, 2025 Change Percent Personnel costs $ 694,000 $ 665,000 $ 29,000 4 % Stock based compensation 256,000 297,000 (41,000 ) -14 % Legal, professional and consulting fees 174,000 111,000 63,000 57 % Research and development 61,000 49,000 12,000 24 % Other general and administrative expenses 302,000 244,000 58,000 24 % Business acquisition expense 62,000 54,000 8,000 nm $ 1,549,000 $ 1,420,000 $ 129,000 9 % General and administrative expenses increased approximately $129,000 (9%) from approximately $1,420,000 in 2025 to $1,549,000 in 2026. Personnel cost increased by approximately $29,000 (4%) from approximately $665,000 in 2025 to $694,000 in 2026 due to the addition of headcount associated with Arps Dairy. Stock-based compensation decreased by approximately $41,000 from $297,000 in 2025 to $256,000 in 2026 as a result of lower expected attainment under our performance stock unit program. Legal, professional and consulting fees increased by approximately $63,000 (57%) from $111,000 in 2025 to $174,000 in 2026 due to audit costs associated with the expanded scope of work resulting from the Acquisition, and temporary consultants associated with the integration of Arps Dairy. Other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $58,000 (24%) due to increased information technology and insurance expense associated with Arps Dairy. Interest Expense Interest expense was $569,000 in 2026 compared to $35,000 in 2025. The increase of $534,000 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 $2,522,000 and $1,641,000 for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in net loss of approximately $881,000 was primarily due to an increase in loss from operations of $347,000, and an increase of $534,000 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. 20 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 $888,000 of equipment through leasing transactions in 2025 and the first six 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 certain construction payables. During the six months ending June 30, 2026, we used $3,051,000 in operations. Our net loss adjusted for non-cash operating expenses used $2,002,000, while changes in current assets and liabilities used $1,049,000 primarily because of settlements of amounts due to co-manufacturers who discontinued providing product in December 2025 and January 2026, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable due to seasonality. As of June 30, 2026, we had net current liabilities of $1,041,000, including $1,818,000 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 June 30, 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. The proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes in March 2026 are not sufficient to carry out our current plan of operations, which includes the investment of $6,662,000 in Construction Obligations described in Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited financial statements. The $2,400,000 grant received in December 2025 is subject to uncertainty associated with the requirement to complete all funded phases of the project by December 31, 2026. This uncertainty could increase the Construction Obligation to $9,062,000. We anticipate that we will have additional sources of liquidity 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.
