Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary
course of our business. Market Risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial
market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Concentration Risk
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers
in the ordinary course of business. Payment terms are generally net 30 days with discounts amounting up to 10% for early payments. Accounts
receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible based on the financial stability of its customers and existing
economic conditions.
Sales to four customers accounted for approximately 60% and sales to
two customers accounted for approximately 58% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts
receivable from two and three customers amounted to approximately 35% and 37% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 occurred in
the United States, Canada, Central America, South America, and Europe.
Purchases from 10 vendors accounted for approximately
46% and 57% of purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts payable to these vendors totaled
approximately $2,678,000 and $1,880,000 as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk
Our customers are primarily located in the United States, Central America,
South America, Europe, and Canada; therefore, foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in currencies other
than our functional and reporting currency (U.S. dollars). To date, a majority of our sales have been denominated in U.S. dollars and
a significant portion of our operating expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. We also purchase certain of our key manufacturing
inputs in Euros. As we expand our presence in international markets, our results of operations and cash flows may increasingly be subject
to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements to minimize the impact of these fluctuations in the
exchange rates. We will periodically reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.
We do not believe that foreign currency risk had
a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations during the periods presented.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation had a
significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully
offset such higher costs with product price increases, and our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Matching Revenues with Costs
Certain Selling, General and Administrative costs
have been expensed in the period incurred. These costs, include business development costs, transaction costs and research and development
costs, consist primarily of personnel and related expenses including salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, scale-up expenses,
depreciation and amortization expenses, and facility lease costs. Scale-up expenses includes material waste costs, production personnel
costs and various related expenses. These costs are focused on enhancements to our existing product formulations and production processes,
as well as the scientific development of new products and economic verticals. We believe continued innovation and these new verticals
are expected to capture a larger share of consumers. Monetization of future opportunities created by the above investment are expected
to be realized in future quarters.
