Business Overview
Splash Beverage Group (“SBG” or “Splash”),
f/k/a Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the “CMS”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed
domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012.
On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation
wholly-owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged
with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The
Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.
Prior to the Merger, CMS was in the business
of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes,
hospitals and other end users and the Company continues to operate the home health supply business as a separate division.
As the owners and management of Splash have
voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that
is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

30, 2021 were $2,827,393 compared to revenues of $692,974 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. A significant portion
of the $2,134,419 increase in sales is due to an increase within our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution
platform called Qplash. This platform sells goods on both Amazon and Shopify. In addition, we had increased sales from Copa di
Vino Wine Group, Inc., our single-serve wine and Pulpoloco Sangria businesses. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September

increase in cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to our increased sales, and
as our sales increased, our cost of sales for those sales correspondingly increased.

expenses was primarily a result of recording the warrants issued pursuant to certain private placements conducted by the Company, and
options and stock approved by the Board ($3,010,013), increased headcount from the Copa acquisition and the addition of new sales reps,
professional fees ($6,391,514) and shipping costs ($521,315). The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $12,169,894
as compared to a net loss of $2,351,814 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss is due to our increase
in operating expenses offset by our increase in revenues.

Revenues for the nine months ended September

was primarily a result of recording a finance charge of $1,821,426 associated with warrants issued to one of our note holders in Q1 2020
offset by interest expense recorded in the period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate
funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors
in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 2021, we had total cash and cash
equivalents of $8,144,171, as compared with $380,000 at December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to cash received from private
placements conducted by us and our S1/A registration statement where we raised $15,000,000.

Net cash used for operating activities during
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $11,615,297 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020 of $4,311,170. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used is due to losses sustained and
increases in inventory, offset by non-cash expenses relating to warrant expense ($5,665,464) and share-based compensation ($8,212,864).
Net cash used for investing activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September
