Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Splash
Beverage Group, Inc. at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit
of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Evaluation of Intangible Assets for Impairment
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, intangible
assets are tested for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate the fair value of the asset may be below its
carrying value. This analysis involves comparing events and circumstances such as general macroeconomic conditions, conditions specific
to the industry and company specific factors. These fair value estimates are sensitive to significant assumptions and judgments, such
as projections of operating expenditures, discount rates, and future levels of revenue.
The Company has experienced a decline in its reported amounts of Beverage
revenue and the Beverage operating segment has experienced losses from operations for the past several years. These factors were considered
a triggering event indicative of impairment, which resulted in an impairment assessment by management. Pursuant to current accounting
guidance, management performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that its intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded
impairment charges of approximately $4.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s intangible
asset balance was $0.
Auditing management’s annual impairment tests was complex because
of the significant judgment required to evaluate management’s assumptions used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets.
How We Addressed the Matter
in our Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of intangible assets for
impairment included the following, among others:
1. We
evaluated managements significant accounting policies related to the impairment of intangible
assets for reasonableness.
2. We
evaluated management’s assessment of the grouping of long-lived assets for which separately
identifiable cash flows can be determined.
3. With
respect to the Company’s valuation of its intangible assets:
a. We
assessed the qualifications and competence of management
b. We
evaluated the methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s intangible
assets
c. We
reperformed management’s quantitative analysis to assess the impact of intangible asset
impairment
4. We
assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures regarding impairment assessments
included in Note 2.

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Splash Beverage Group (“SBG” or “Splash”),
formally Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (“CMS”) was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed
domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. 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.
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.
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.
As part of the recapitalization, previously issued
shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have
been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.
Splash specializes in the manufacturing process, distribution,
and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage
segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C E-commerce distribution platform called Qplash,
further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.
In July 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment
of Articles of Incorporation of CMS with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, pursuant to which the Company changed its name
from CMS. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from CMS
to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. Our new ticker symbol is SBEV.
On December 24, 2020, SBG consummated an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the “Copa APA”) with Copa DI Vino ® Corporation (“CdV”), to purchase certain assets and
assume certain liabilities that comprise the Copa DI Vino ® business for a total purchase price of $ 5,980,000 , payable in
the combination of $ 2,000,000 in cash (“Cash Consideration”), $ 2,000,000 convertible promissory note (the “Convertible
Note”) to Seller and a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on a attainment of revenue hurdles. CdV
is one of the leading producers of premium wine by the glass in the United States with its primary offices and facilities in The Dalles,
Oregon.
On February 2021, Management initiated a plan to divest its CMS business.
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 up listing to the NYSE on
June 11, 2021 the Company consummated a 1.0 for 3.0 reverse stock split. All common stock shares stated herein have been adjusted to reflect
the split.

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, continued
Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted
for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash
Balance
We consider all highly liquid securities with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Our cash in uninsured foreign bank accounts was $ 4,817
and $ 0 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated
collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We
establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance,
and current economic conditions. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances
of $ 300,827 and $ 183,089 , respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted
of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products,
transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates
of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products
as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions
for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We
manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The
amount of our reserve was $ 621,178 and $ 290,524 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Property and Equipment
We record property and equipment at cost when purchased.
Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives
of assets, which range from 3-20 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related
useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

Excise taxes
The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product
sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
(TTB). The Company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable
for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by
a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity
sold.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”)
guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
Level 2 -
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the
consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, consistent with recent negotiations
of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations
under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery
to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is
presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies
with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from
revenue.
Distribution expenses to transport our products, and
warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold include the costs of products,
packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The
cost of transportation from production site to other 3 rd party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative
cost.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other General and Administrative expenses include Amazon selling fees, cost of
transportation from production site to other 3 rd party warehouses or customers, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and
audit fees, investor relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance
with ASC 718,” Compensation - Stock Compensation” . Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at
the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally
the option vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. We early adopted
ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which aligns accounting treatment for such awards
to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.
We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair
value for employees, directors and consultants and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of
the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair
value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility
and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application
of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense
could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified
method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity,
we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based
on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies
as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes
with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment,
and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as
an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accounting for income
taxes as set forth in ASC 740,” Income Taxes” . Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the
temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect
during the years in which the basis differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the
deferred tax assets will be realized.
Company management assesses its income tax positions
and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available
at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax
benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon
ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
For those income tax positions where there is less
than 50 % likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management
has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 . See note 13.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect
would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes
anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase shares of common stock and warrants granted by our Board that have
not been exercised totaling 3,424,996 .
Advertising
We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products.
In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We recorded advertising expense of $ 486,942
and $ 1,721,547 for the years ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Goodwill and other intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost
over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth
quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting
unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative
analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based
on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics
to be applied to historical and expected future operating results.
At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates
the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon the facts and circumstances related to the particular intangible
asset. Inherent in such estimates are judgments and estimates of future revenue, profitability, cash flows and appropriate discount rates
for any present value calculations. The Company preliminarily estimates the value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and then
finalizes the estimated fair values during the purchase allocation period, which does not extend beyond 12 months from the date of acquisition.
The Company’s amortization expense for acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives was $ 392,068 for fiscal
years 2024 and 2023.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill
and Other, the Company performed an impairment test for its Brand Name, Customer Relationships and license. Based on this assessment,
the Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeded its fair value, resulting in an impairment loss of $ 4.3
million.
The impairment loss of $ 4.3 million was recorded in the statement of operations
within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. This impairment was primarily driven by the decline in the Company’s
sales and was calculated using the present value of future cash flows.

Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment
on an annual basis, when relocating or closing a facility, or when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount
of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses
to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is
not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying
value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value
is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals
from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.
Foreign Currency Gain/Losses
Foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is
the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.
Gain or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive (loss)
income as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from
functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in Other Comprehensive
Income. The Company incurred a foreign currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $ 97,763 and a foreign
currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $ 3,889 .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of FASB ASU 2020-06
In
August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06
simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts by removing certain models
that were previously required to be applied. The amendments are effective for the fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted
ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024 and has removed the effects of any embedded conversion
features from certain of our convertible instruments as of that date.

Note 3 – Liquidity, Capital Resources
and Going Concern Considerations
During 2024, the Company received $ 9.5 million from
issuance of debt.
The Company’s consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that the Company is able to meet its
obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $ 22.9
million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $ 0.37
million for the year ended December 31, 2024. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and
indebtedness.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of July 11, 202 5, the Company
has incurred significant losses from operations and has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the Company’s
current liabilities exceed its current assets, and it has a working capital deficit.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters
include actions to sustain the Company’s operations, such as seeking additional funding to meet its obligations and implement its
business plan. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its plans or in raising additional funds.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would be
necessary to the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses could be materially affected.

basis over the lease term and is included in operating expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and

Note 11 – Commitment and Contingencies
The Company is a party to asserted claims and are
subject to regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty,
but the Company does not anticipate that the outcome, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition or results of operations.
On June 5, 2024, the Company received notification
from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that it is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued
listing standards under Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), requiring a listed
company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations
and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009
of the Company Guide. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by April 6, 2025 or if the Company does
not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the NYSE American may commence delisting procedures.
The licensing agreement between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated
in Q1 2024. The parties are engaged in active and constructive settlement discussions pursuant to the terms of the agreement’s termination
provisions. Based on the settlement discussions, the Company anticipates that any final settlement will not exceed the amounts already
recorded in its legal reserve and accrued accounts payable.
Note 12 – Tax Provision
The Company has evaluated the positive and negative
evidence in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of
deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to determine which deferred tax assets
are more likely than not to be realized in the future. Due to uncertainty about the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax
assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2024, the Company’s net operating
loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes was $ 99,567,157 , which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used,
these carry forwards will begin to expire in 2032, except for the net operating losses generated January 1, 2018 and after, which amounted
to $ 76,541,071 , which can be carried forward indefinitely.
There was no income tax expense or benefit for the
years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the full valuation allowance recorded.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On
March 27, 2025, the Company implemented a 1.0 for 40.0 reverse stock split. All common stock shares, warrants, and conversion prices
stated herein have been adjusted to reflect the split. The purpose of this reverse split was to maintain the Company’s listing
on the NYSE American.
In April 2025, the Company
issued a 5-year promissory note in the amount of 200,000, it accrues interest at 15%, and is convertible into shares of common stock
at $1.25. The note also received 125,000 5-year warrants exercisable at $2.00, and 83,334 5-year warrants exercisable at $3.00.
In
May 2025, the Company issued 650 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in exchange for approximately $650,000. Series A-1 shares are convertible
into common stock, subject to shareholder approval, and further discussed in Note 6. Investors of A-1 Shares also received 162,500 1-year
A Warrants exercisable into common stock at 80% of 5-day VWAP, and 162,500 5-year B Warrants exercisable into common stock at $4.00.

and further discussed in Note 6.

Costa Rica. The Company issued 20,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as consideration, at an initial stated value of $1000 per share.
Management determined that the transaction is an asset acquisition under ASC 805, as substantially all of the fair value is concentrated
in a single identifiable asset—the water rights—and no substantive processes were acquired. The preliminary fair value of
the acquired assets has been estimated at approximately $20 million and is subject to revision. The Series C shares are convertible into
common stock, subject to shareholder approval, and further discussed in Note 6
