Business
Overview
Splash
seeks to identify, acquire, and build early stage or under-valued beverage brands that have strong growth potential within its distribution
system. Splash’s distribution system is comprehensive in the US and is now expanding to select attractive international markets.
The Splash brand portfolio is growing and diverse, covering multiple categories that are exhibiting strong growth in both the non-alcohol
and alcohol sectors. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Qplash, Splash’s distribution reach includes e-commerce access to both
B-to-B and B-to-C customers. Q-plash markets well known beverage brands to customers throughout the US that prefer delivery direct to
their office, facilities and or homes.
On June 30, 2022, Management completed its plan to
divest its CMS business. CMS was the entity used to execute the reverse merger for Splash to uplist its common stock to NYSE American.
As a result, the assets and operations of CMS have been retrospectively reflected as discontinued operations. On November 12, 2021 the
Company changed its state of Domicile from Colorado to Nevada.
In
coordination with uplisting to the NYSE American on June 11, 2021 the Company consummated a 1.0 for 3.0 reverse stock split.
The 2020 Plan has an “EVERGREEN” feature,
which provides for the annual increase in the number of shares issuable under the plan by an amount equal to 5% of the number of issued
and outstanding common shares at year end, unless otherwise adjusted by the board.

Results of Operations
for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021.
Net Revenue
Net revenues for the three and six months ended June
30, 2022 were higher compared to revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 due to an increase from our vertically integrated
B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash (Qplash sells goods on both Amazon and Shopify), increased distribution on
the beverage portfolio and a price increase on CdV.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 were higher compared to cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of goods
sold is primarily due to higher sales at Qplash, incremental volumes in the beverage portfolio and higher supply chain costs on both ingredients
and freight.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2022 were lower compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to a decrease in share based compensation partially offset by
increases in marketing spend. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were higher compared to the six months ended June
30, 2021 driven by an increase in sales and marketing cost partially offset by lower non-cash compensation for services cost
Interest Expense
Interest expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 were lower compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the paydown of notes payable.
Net Loss
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022
was lower compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the net loss is due to our lower operating expenses and an
increase in revenues. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was higher compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
increase in the net loss is due to our higher cost of goods sold and operating expenses against the increase in revenues.
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 June 30, 2022, we had total cash and cash equivalents
of $4,206,208 as compared with $4,181,383 at December 31, 2021.
Net cash used for operating activities during the
six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7,107,851 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June
30, 2021 of $7,673,122. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used is due to losses sustained, increases in inventory and costs
incurred in connection with the company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
For the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did
not use or receive cash relating to investing activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the
six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7,132,676 compared to $19,477,363 provided from financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received $9,203,074 from investors from the Company Shelf Registration Statement
on Form S-3, which was offset by repayments to debt holders of $942,398 and financing fees associated with the Shelf Registration Statement
$1,128,000.
