RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
+Added: Risks Related to our Financial Condition
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph
in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities
−Removed: will have little or no value.
−Removed: Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP,
−Removed: our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, has included an explanatory paragraph in
−Removed: their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, indicating
−Removed: that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: If we are unable to improve
−Removed: our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: We have sustained recurring
−Removed: losses and we have had working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits.
−Removed: These prior losses and expected future losses have
−Removed: had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition.
−Removed: In addition, continued operations and our ability to
−Removed: continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and
−Removed: there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on
−Removed: reasonable terms.
−Removed: Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financing or from other sources or
−Removed: transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations.
−Removed: If we cannot continue as a going concern, our
−Removed: shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.
−Removed: Management recognizes that it may
−Removed: be required to obtain additional resources via issuances of indebtedness or equity to successfully execute its business plans.
−Removed: No assurances
−Removed: can be given that management will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms.
−Removed: These conditions raise
−Removed: substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
−Removed: These financial statements
−Removed: do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities
−Removed: that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: Material weaknesses in our internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting may cause us to fail to timely and accurately report our financial results or result in
−Removed: a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: A significant deficiency
−Removed: and material weakness exists over our financial reporting.
−Removed: We continue to implement and evaluate the
−Removed: effectiveness of additional policies and procedures to address identified control deficiencies in the design and operation of
−Removed: our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of this Annual Report
−Removed: (“Controls and Procedures”).
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
−Removed: in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
−Removed: our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Management identified a material weakness
−Removed: in the Company’s internal controls related to dedicated services billing and revenue recognition, and has taken actions in
−Removed: 2025 to have the material weakness remediated.
−Removed: To note, the significant deficiency and material weakness over our financial
−Removed: reporting or the discovery of additional significant deficiencies or a material weakness and their possible effect on our results,
−Removed: could have material and adverse effect on our stock price.
+Added: If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders
+Added: will lose all or some of their investments.
+Added: Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, our independent registered
+Added: public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies
+Added: our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, indicating that our current liquidity position
+Added: raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may
+Added: not be able to continue as a going concern.
+Added: This has continued as of the date of this Report.
+Added: We have sustained recurring losses and we have had
+Added: working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits.
+Added: These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to
+Added: have, an adverse effect on our financial condition.
+Added: In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may
+Added: be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing
+Added: will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms.
+Added: Our financial statements do not include
+Added: any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
+Added: If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through
+Added: sales of our products, financing or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations.
+Added: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
+Added: In order to continue and fund its operations, the
+Added: Company will be required to obtain additional resources through sales and issuances of equity to successfully execute its business plans
+Added: and keep the Common Stock listed on the NYSE American.
+Added: No assurances can be given the Company will be successful in raising additional
+Added: capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms.
+Added: Sales of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents would have the effect of diluting existing
+Added: stockholders.
+Added: If we are unable to raise the necessary capital on favorable terms, within the timeframes needed or at all, we could be
+Added: forced to cease operations, and you could lose all or some of your investment.
+Added: Because we lack the required $6 million of minimum
+Added: stockholders’ equity currently as well at December 31, 2025, our Common Stock may be delisted by the NYSE American .
+Added: On April 7, 2025, the NYSE American notified the Company
+Added: that as a result of its failure to comply with the applicable continued listing rules including maintaining the required minimum stockholders’
+Added: equity, it determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Common Stock from the exchange.
+Added: The Company appealed the determination.
+Added: On June 25, 2025, we acquired our Water Assets by
+Added: issuing the Seller shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
+Added: The Series C contains a stated value of $20 million.
+Added: Under Generally
+Added: Accepted Accounting Principles, we accounted for this issuance by including $20 million of non-current assets on our balance sheet.
+Added: April 14, 2026, the Company rescinded the transaction and canceled the Series C in accordance with the provisions of the Asset Purchase
+Added: Agreement, effective December 31, 2025.
+Added: If we can complete the acquisition of Medterra, we expect we will have stockholders’ equity
+Added: substantially above the $6 million minimum requirement.
+Added: We cannot assure you that we will complete the acquisition of Medterra or that
+Added: the NYSE American will permit our Common Stock to remain listed both prior to the planned closing and after the closing of the Medterra
+Added: Because we lack the capital to acquire inventory
+Added: and market our products, we have generated no revenue in 2025 after the three months ended March 31, 2025, making our ability to remain
+Added: in operation more difficult, and there are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: As reflected in this the consolidated financial statements
+Added: contained in this Report, we had only $442,732 in net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.
+Added: did not generate any revenue in fiscal year 2025 after the three months ended March of 2025 due to a lack of operating capital
+Added: which has hindered the Company’s ability to generate sales since that time.
+Added: In order to generate material revenue, we estimate requiring
+Added: at least $2,000,000 of working capital in order to acquire inventory and re-commence minimal operations.
+Added: This does not include our plans
+Added: for the Chispo tequila business which will require substantial additional capital.
+Added: Specifically, management estimates needing approximately
+Added: $500,000 to achieve its full year goals.
+Added: In addition, we need approximately $3 million in working capital to grow our business, pay our
+Added: current management, including benefits, an accounting consultant and the public company costs we are required to pay.
+Added: We have also entered into the Letter of Intent with Medterra contemplating
+Added: a potential business combination with that entity.
+Added: Assuming we enter into a definitive Agreement with Medterra and close the acquisition,
+Added: we expect we will need approximately $10,000,000 to pay its indebtedness and the income taxes of Medterra’s investors and are working
+Added: with capital partners and investors to attempt to raise an additional $25,000,000 at or subsequent to the closing of the proposed transaction
+Added: to expand Medterra’s existing operations and sales inclusive of their participation in the recently launched federal CMS pilot program,
+Added: additional working capital, and reserves.
+Added: See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to.
+Added: Our Business.”
+Added: Our lack of cash resources has prevented us from carrying
+Added: on our commercialization activities.
+Added: In addition, our lack of working capital has prevented us from marketing our products.
+Added: Further, even
+Added: if we can access the necessary capital, the Company must determine whether and what extent to invest such capital into various aspects
+Added: of our business, including recommencing sales of beverage products, and we may be unsuccessful in developing and executing a business
+Added: plan in this regard.
+Added: Unless we raise enough money to not only pay our ongoing general and administrative expenses but also market our
+Added: products and purchase inventory, we will not be able to remain operational.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations

−Removed: We incurred a net loss
−Removed: of $23.8 million
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2 024 .
−Removed: Our accumulated deficit increased to $ 155.8

−Removed: Our prior losses and
−Removed: expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition.
−Removed: If our products do not achieve

−Removed: Even if we achieve profitability
−Removed: in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

+Added: Even if we achieve profitability in the future,
+Added: for which we can provide no assurance, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.
+Added: Our failure to become and remain
+Added: profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product
+Added: offerings or continue our operations.
A decline in the value of our Company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
−Removed: If we are not able to successfully execute on
−Removed: our future operating plans and objectives, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and
−Removed: we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: It is important that we meet our
−Removed: sales goals and increase sales going forward as our operating plan already reflects prior significant cost containment measures and may
−Removed: make it difficult to achieve top-line growth if further significant reductions become necessary.
−Removed: If we do not meet our sales goals, our
−Removed: available cash and working capital will decrease and our financial condition will be negatively impacted.
−Removed: In order to be successful, we believe
−Removed: that we must, among other things:
−Removed: increase the sales volume and gross margins for our products and those that we will acquire;
−Removed: maintain efficiencies in operations;
−Removed: manage our operating expenses to sufficiently support operating activities;
−Removed: maintain fixed costs at or near current levels;
−Removed: avoid significant increases in variable costs relating to production, marketing and distribution.
−Removed: We may not be able to meet
−Removed: these objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
−Removed: We have incurred significant operating
−Removed: expenses in the past and may do so again in the future and, as a result, will need to increase revenues in order to improve our
−Removed: results of operations.
−Removed: Our ability to increase sales will depend primarily on success in expanding our current markets, improving
−Removed: our distribution base, entering into Direct-To-Retail (DTR) arrangements with national accounts, and introducing new brands,
−Removed: products or product extensions to the market.
−Removed: Our ability to successfully enter new distribution areas and obtain national accounts
−Removed: will, in turn, depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the continued demand
−Removed: for our brands and products in target markets, the ability to price our products at competitive levels, available positions within
−Removed: the retailer’s planograms, the ability to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in each geographic area of
−Removed: distribution and the ability in the future to create, develop and successfully introduce one or more new brands, products, and
−Removed: product extensions.
−Removed: strategic initiatives including acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful and may divert our management’s attention away
−Removed: from operations and could create general customer uncertainty.
−Removed: growth strategy is based in part on growth through strategic initiatives including both acquisitions and divestitures, which poses a number
−Removed: We may not be successful in identifying appropriate acquisition candidates, achieving targeted values as part of a disposition,
−Removed: consummating an acquisition or divestiture on satisfactory terms, integrating any newly acquired or expanded business with our current
−Removed: operations, or separating a divested business or commingled operation effectively.
−Removed: We may issue additional equity, incur long-term or
−Removed: short-term indebtedness, spend cash or use a combination of these for all or part of the consideration paid in future acquisitions or
−Removed: expansion of our operations, which may not be available to us on terms we find advantageous or acceptable, if at all.
−Removed: In addition, subject
−Removed: to any requirements in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness, we may have significant discretion in how we employ the
−Removed: consideration received in a divestiture and our management may not apply such consideration in a way that is ultimately accretive to our
+Added: We may become subject to litigation in connection
+Added: with our cancellation of the Series C that we had previously issued under the Asset Purchase Agreement related to certain water assets.
+Added: Following the cancellation of
+Added: the Series C that we had previously issued to the Seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement related to certain water assets located in
+Added: Costa Rica, the Seller may determine to sue us challenging our position with respect to such cancellation.
+Added: Specifically, Section 1.04
+Added: of the Asset Purchase Agreement required the Seller to deliver the water assets by December 31, 2025 or pay the Company $20 million
+Added: in cash, and further stated that failure to deliver either the water assets or the $20 million by December 31, 2025 rendered the
+Added: Series C to be “null, void, and of no further force or effect.” As a result, the Company cancelled the Series C effective
+Added: December 31, 2025.
+Added: While the Company believes that it has adequate evidence demonstrating that the Seller failed to comply with either
+Added: requirement, the Seller may nonetheless seek to sue the Company claiming that the Company was not entitled to cancel the Series C.
+Added: resulting litigation which may arise from the foregoing could require us to incur significant costs and expenses, subject us to uncertainty
+Added: with respect to our outstanding capital stock and any potential future transactions (including the potential business combination with
+Added: Medterra), and divert our limited personnel and resources away from operational matters and strategic initiatives.
+Added: Risks Related to our
+Added: If we are unable to enter
+Added: into a definitive agreement and close an acquisition of Medterra following our entry into a non-binding Letter of Intent on March 4, 2026
+Added: as described elsewhere in this Report, the Company and its stockholders will not receive the anticipated and intended benefits of such
+Added: acquisition, and the Company would be forced to pursue alternative acquisitions or strategic transactions.
+Added: As disclosed elsewhere in this Report, we recently
+Added: entered into a Letter of Intent with Medterra, a leading manufacturer and multi-brand operator of cannabinoid wellness products.
+Added: to the Letter, the parties agreed in principal on the terms of a potential business combination between Medterra and the Company, subject
+Added: to due diligence and execution of a definitive written agreement and other applicable agreements, receipt of the 2025, audited financial
+Added: statements of Medterra and customary closing conditions.
+Added: In addition, the Company needs approximately $10.4 million of cash to close the
+Added: The proposed terms for the transaction represent an enterprise value of Medterra of $37.6 million or the issuance of approximately
+Added: 54,400,000 shares of Common Stock, which assumes repayment of its outstanding debt.
+Added: This would represent substantial dilution to the Company’s
+Added: existing stockholders.
+Added: While the closing of the
+Added: acquisition would result in us becoming the parent holding company of a leading manufacturer and seller of cannabinoid products, the closing
+Added: may not occur, including due to regulatory challenges arising from cannabis laws and the NYSE American requirements, our ability to raise
+Added: the necessary cash and negotiate the definitive agreement, due diligence, the appearance of a competitive bid from another prospective
+Added: purchaser, or the seller’s inability to maintain its operations for a sufficient time to allow the transaction to close, and other
+Added: events and requirements that may not occur on favorable terms or at all and subject any potential transaction to substantial uncertainty.
+Added: The Letter is non-exclusive and does not provide us with any recourse if Medterra were to decline to move forward with a transaction with
+Added: The Letter also envisions us being required to raise a substantial amount of additional capital shortly following the closing of the
+Added: business combination, which would further dilute our existing stockholders and could subject us to onerous terms that harm our ability
+Added: to operate or pursue strategic transactions and alternatives.
+Added: Even if we do acquire Medterra and raise the necessary capital to fund post-transaction
+Added: operations in the future, there can be no assurance that such a development will yield the intended or expected benefits, result in sustained
+Added: increases in prices and or volume of trading in our Common Stock, or otherwise create a meaningful return on investment or value to our
+Added: stockholders.
+Added: Further, if we fail to enter
+Added: into a definitive written agreement or a business combination does not close, all of the time and capital resources expended by the Company
+Added: in such pursuit of such a transaction may be lost and unrecoverable by the Company or its stockholders.
+Added: Unanticipated issues which may
+Added: be beyond our control or that of the seller may arise that force us to suspend our pursuit of the target, including those referred to
+Added: elsewhere herein.
+Added: Such risks are inherent in any search for a new business and investors should be aware of them before investing in an
+Added: enterprise such as ours.
+Added: Our strategic initiatives
+Added: including acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful and may divert our management’s attention away from operations, and
+Added: could create general customer uncertainty.
+Added: We have begun to explore
+Added: strategic alternatives to our beverage business.
+Added: Our growth strategy is based in part on growth through strategic initiatives including
+Added: both acquisitions and divestitures of brands and assets, which poses a number of risks.
+Added: We may not be successful in identifying appropriate
+Added: acquisition candidates, achieving targeted values as part of a disposition, consummating an acquisition or divestiture on satisfactory
+Added: terms, integrating any newly acquired or expanded business with our current operations, or separating a divested business or commingled
+Added: operation effectively.
+Added: We may issue additional equity, incur long-term or short-term indebtedness, spend cash or use a combination of
+Added: these for all or part of the consideration paid in future acquisitions or expansion of our operations, which may not be available to us
+Added: on terms we find advantageous or acceptable, if at all.
+Added: In addition, subject to any requirements in the agreements governing our outstanding
+Added: indebtedness, we may have significant discretion in how we employ the consideration received in a divestiture and our management may not
+Added: apply such consideration in a way that is ultimately accretive to our business.
The execution of our strategic
−Removed: initiatives could entail repositioning or similar actions that in turn require us to record impairments, restructuring and other charges.
−Removed: Any such charges would reduce our earnings.
−Removed: We cannot guarantee that any future business acquisitions or divestitures will be pursued
−Removed: or that any acquisitions or divestitures that are pursued will be consummated.
+Added: initiatives will likely entail incurring goodwill assets or repositioning or similar actions that in turn require us to record impairments,
+Added: restructuring and other charges.
+Added: Any such charges would result in additional expense.
+Added: We cannot guarantee that any future business acquisitions
+Added: or divestitures will be pursued or that any acquisitions or divestitures that are pursued will be consummated.
Additionally, any acquisition

−Removed: Moreover, our customers may, in response to the announcement
−Removed: or consummation of a transaction, delay or defer purchasing decisions.
−Removed: If our customers delay or defer purchasing decisions, our revenues
−Removed: could materially decline or any anticipated increases in revenue could be lower than expected.
−Removed: Failure to Successfully Integrate Acquired
−Removed: Businesses, Its Products and Other Assets into the Company, or If Integrated, Failure to Further the Company’s Business
−Removed: Strategy, May Result in the Company’s Inability to Realize Any Benefit from Such Acquisition.
−Removed: The consummation and integration of any acquired
−Removed: business, product or other assets into the Company may be complex and time-consuming and, if such businesses and assets are not
−Removed: successfully integrated, the Company may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities.
−Removed: these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further the Company’s business strategy
−Removed: as anticipated, expose the Company to increased competition or other challenges with respect to the Company’s products
−Removed: or geographic markets, and expose the Company to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business, technology
−Removed: or other asset or arrangement.
−Removed: When the Company acquires cannabis businesses, it may obtain the rights to applications for licenses
−Removed: as well as licenses;
−Removed: however, the procurement of such applications for licenses and licenses generally will be subject to governmental
−Removed: and regulatory approval.
−Removed: There are no guarantees that the Company will successfully consummate such acquisitions, and even if the Company
−Removed: consummates such acquisitions, the procurement of applications for licenses may never result in the grant of a license by any state or
−Removed: local governmental or regulatory agency and the transfer of any rights to licenses may never be approved by the applicable state and/or
−Removed: local governmental or regulatory agency.
+Added: If we fail to successfully integrate acquired assets
+Added: or businesses, or if integrated, failure to further the Company’s business strategy, may result in the Company’s inability
+Added: to realize any benefit from such acquisition or other adverse consequences.
+Added: As disclosed above under “Business-Letter of Intent”, we are in
+Added: discussions concerning a potential acquisition of Medterra contemplated by the Letter of Intent with that entity.

+Added: In addition, even if we can access the necessary capital,

+Added: Even if we can access the necessary capital to further

−Removed: 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas commenced in October 2023, and related economic
−Removed: sanctions imposed or that may in the future be imposed by certain governments, our financial position and operations may be materially

−Removed: As our ability to continue to operate will be dependent on raising debt and equity finance, any adverse impact
−Removed: to those markets as a result of these conflicts, including due to increased market volatility, decreased availability in third-party financing
−Removed: and/or a deterioration in the terms on which it is available (if at all), could negatively impact our business, results of operations,
−Removed: cash flows, financial condition, and/or prospects.
−Removed: The extent of any potential impact is not yet determinable, however.
−Removed: Changes in government regulation or failure
−Removed: to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

−Removed: and distribution of beverage products.
−Removed: In addition, various governmental agencies have enacted or are considering additional taxes on

+Added: The principal raw materials we use include glass bottles,
+Added: aluminum cans, polyethylene terephthalate, fiber-board, labels and cardboard cartons, flavorings and sweeteners.
+Added: These component and ingredient
+Added: costs are subject to fluctuation and environmental regulation.
+Added: If there were to be substantial increases in the prices of these products,
+Added: to the extent that they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, it would increase our operating
+Added: If our supply of these raw materials is impaired or if prices increase significantly due to tariffs or any other reason, it could

+Added: needed or in general, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.
+Added: International trade developments, including tariffs
+Added: and geopolitical conflicts, could adversely impact our business.
+Added: International trade developments, including heightened
+Added: tariffs imposed by the United States under the Trump Administration on goods imported from various countries, tariffs imposed by foreign
+Added: countries in retaliation, and litigation and uncertainties surrounding these developments, could adversely impact our business.
+Added: geopolitical conflicts such as the conflict with Iran and its proxies have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact
+Added: on supply chains and the costs of purchasing and transporting goods.
+Added: We and third parties on which we depend source various supplies used
+Added: in our products from foreign countries, and tariffs and other international trade developments could therefore result in inflationary
+Added: pressures that directly impact our costs for manufacturing and marketing products.
+Added: These developments could also adversely impact global
+Added: supply chains which could further increase costs for us and/or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies.
+Added: Significant new or increased tariffs, import and excise
+Added: duties, or other taxes on or impacting beverage products, including raw and packaging materials, such as on imports from Mexico and exports
+Added: to countries in which we plan to sell our products such as the United Arab Emirates from which we source many of our supplies for our
+Added: products, and any additional retaliatory tariffs imposed by those governments on products imported into the U.S., could have a material
+Added: adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: These developments continue to pose a significant
+Added: risk to our business as well as the U.S.
+Added: and global economies, including by shifting consumer behaviors, inhibiting sales, increasing
+Added: costs, causing further economic and supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, and reducing economic activity.
+Added: if the costs of our products increase, we and our collaborators may be forced to increase the prices at which such products are sold,
+Added: which could in turn reduce demand for and sales of those products, thereby negatively impacting our operating results.
+Added: Alternatively,
+Added: the heightened production costs would also have a negative impact on operating results even absent a decline in sales.
+Added: Further, increases
+Added: in the cost of oil and other resources used in the production and transportation of products could have a material adverse effect on the
+Added: acquisition and use of such resources and gross margins.
+Added: The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting
+Added: impact on our business and general economic conditions are uncertain and depend on various factors, including negotiations between the
+Added: United States and affected countries, the outcome of the United States tariff litigation, the responses of other countries or regions,
+Added: exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected
+Added: To the extent we need to locate new sources of raw materials and products as a result of tariffs, we may be unable to locate
+Added: alternative sources on favorable terms or in the timeframes needed, and actions we may take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions
+Added: may force us to modify our operations or forgo business opportunities.
+Added: Likewise, tariffs and import and export regulations could also
+Added: limit the availability of our products, prompt consumers to seek alternative products, and provide an opportunity for competitors not
+Added: subject to such tariffs to more effectively compete with us in markets where we conduct our business.
+Added: Our business, operations, financial position and
+Added: timelines, could be materially adversely affected by government action and geopolitical conflicts.
+Added: Following President Trump’s inauguration in
+Added: January 2025, certain trends and events have unfolded and continue to evolve and develop which are affecting and have the potential to
+Added: further affect the global and United States capital markets and economies, including the inflation caused by the conflict with Iran, the
+Added: continued high central bank interest rates, the imposition and threat of tariffs as well as subsequent developments and uncertainties
+Added: surrounding tariffs, trade wars among nations and ongoing wars and geopolitical conflicts, and uncertain capital markets with significant
+Added: volatility and declines in leading market indexes thus far 2026.
+Added: The duration and scope of these events and their impact are at best uncertain,
+Added: and their continuation may result in negative consequences on the U.S.
+Added: or global economies.
+Added: The impositions of tariffs by the U.S.
+Added: and any retaliatory
+Added: actions by foreign countries, as well as refunds on tariffs following the U.S.
+Added: Supreme Court’s ruling to strike down certain tariffs,
+Added: could contribute to higher inflation and reduced economic activity for a prolonged period of time, thereby delaying any rate reductions
+Added: or potentially resulting in rate increases in the future, as well as reduced demand for mortgages.
+Added: Similarly, the wars in the Middle East
+Added: and the Ukraine could also contribute to increased and prolonged inflation including by increasing the price of oil and causing adverse
+Added: impacts on supply chains.
+Added: These uncertainties and developments could result in supply chain issues, higher prices for goods and services
+Added: or other adverse consequences on us and our vendors.
+Added: In addition, these events come with an increased probability for an economic downturn
+Added: or recession by making it more difficult for businesses to borrow money and individuals to maintain employment.
+Added: These developments follow the increase in interest
+Added: rates that began in 2022 as the Federal Reserve in U.S.
+Added: and central banks in other jurisdictions have sought to combat inflation.
+Added: inflation has declined, the conflict with Iran seems likely to having another inflationary impact.
+Added: Further many economists
+Added: view additional increases in inflation as a likely or possible consequence of these developments.
+Added: Uncertainty surrounding rising or elevated
+Added: prices and concerning the state and prospects for the U.S.
+Added: and global economies and capital markets in the near term remains and has amplified
+Added: due to the factors described above.
+Added: If inflation does not fall low enough and/or the Federal Reserve declines to reduce interest rates
+Added: in the near term, or tariffs and related developments adversely impact the economy, the result could be tipping the U.S.
+Added: In the wake of these events, the U.S.
+Added: and global capital markets have demonstrated substantial volatility in the first quarter
+Added: of 2026, as many investors consider economic outlooks to be uncertain and consider the risk of a recession and a decline in the marketplace
+Added: to be increasingly probable or imminent.
+Added: Ultimately the economy may turn into a recession with uncertain and potentially severe impacts
+Added: upon the public capital markets and us.
+Added: Among the potential consequences could be a substantial decline in stock prices including ours,
+Added: a reduction in demand for securities of public companies (which may be more prevalent for smaller companies such as us) and more difficulty
+Added: for us to raise capital we need and accessing capital on favorable terms or at all as a result.
+Added: As our ability to continue to operate will be dependent
+Added: on raising capital, any adverse impact to markets as a result of these developments, including due to increased market volatility, decreased
+Added: availability in third-party financing and/or a deterioration in the terms on which it is available (if at all), could negatively impact
+Added: our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and/or prospects.
+Added: The extent of any potential impact is not yet
+Added: determinable, however.

−Removed: with complex foreign and U.S.
−Removed: laws and regulations.
−Removed: If we are unable to effectively operate or manage the risks associated with operating
−Removed: in international markets, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
−Removed: Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs
−Removed: and capacity.
−Removed: Water is a main ingredient in substantially
−Removed: all of our products, is vital to the production of the agricultural ingredients on which our business relies and is needed in our manufacturing
−Removed: It also is critical to the prosperity of the communities we serve.
−Removed: Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing
−Removed: unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing
−Removed: processes require water, increasing pollution and emerging awareness of potential contaminants, poor management, lack of physical or financial
−Removed: access to water, sociopolitical tensions due to lack of public infrastructure in certain areas of the world and the effects of climate
−Removed: As the demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as water becomes scarcer and the quality of available water
−Removed: deteriorates, we may incur higher costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely
−Removed: affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.
−Removed: Fluctuations in quantity and quality of grape
−Removed: supply could adversely affect our business.
−Removed: A shortage in the supply of quality
−Removed: grapes may result from a variety of factors that determine the quality and quantity of our grape supply, including weather conditions,
−Removed: pruning methods, diseases and pests, the ability to buy grapes on long and short-term contracts and the number of vines producing grapes.
−Removed: Any shortage in grape production could cause a reduction in the amount of wine we are able to produce, which could reduce sales and adversely
−Removed: impact our results from operations.
−Removed: Factors that reduce the quantity of our grapes may also reduce their quality, which in turn could
−Removed: reduce the quality or amount of wine we produce.
−Removed: Deterioration in the quality of our wines could harm our brand name, reduce sales and
−Removed: adversely impact our business and results of operations.
−Removed: Contamination of our wines could harm our business.
−Removed: We are subject to certain hazards
−Removed: and product liability risks, such as potential contamination, through tampering or otherwise, of ingredients or products.
−Removed: Contamination
−Removed: of any of our wines could force us to destroy wine held in inventory and could cause the need for a product recall, which could significantly
−Removed: damage our reputation for product quality.
−Removed: We maintain insurance against certain of these kinds of risks, and others, under various insurance
−Removed: However, the insurance may not be adequate or may not continue to be available at a price or on terms that are satisfactory
−Removed: to us and this insurance may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

Our business and operations would be adversely
impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.
−Removed: The proper functioning of our own
−Removed: information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business.
−Removed: We may not have the
−Removed: necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely
−Removed: impact our operations.
−Removed: In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs,
−Removed: physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems.

+Added: We may not have the necessary
+Added: financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact
+Added: our operations.
+Added: In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical
+Added: and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems.
+Added: For example, in early 2026 we experienced a hacking
+Added: incident wherein a malicious third party attempted to impersonate our President to divert funds.
+Added: While the Company ultimately avoided
+Added: losses from this incident, this event or similar events in the future could cause substantial financial, reputational and/or operational
+Added: harm on us or third parties with whom we conduct business.
+Added: It also delayed us several days from receiving funds we were owed under ELOC
+Added: Agreement at a time when we had a need for the funds.
+Added: This incident reminded us of the need to adopt and
+Added: maintain appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and
+Added: other potential disruptions.
However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions,
−Removed: we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts
−Removed: on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction

−Removed: actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
−Removed: our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.
−Removed: If we fail to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws,
−Removed: we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively affect our
−Removed: business and operating results.
−Removed: In the ordinary course of our business,
−Removed: we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal data”), primarily employees,
−Removed: former employees and consumers with whom we interact.
−Removed: As a result, we are subject to various U.S.
−Removed: federal and state and foreign laws and
−Removed: regulations relating to personal data.
−Removed: These laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted
−Removed: in other jurisdictions at any time.
−Removed: These laws impose operational requirements for companies receiving or processing personal data, and
−Removed: many provide for significant penalties for noncompliance.
−Removed: These requirements with respect to personal data have subjected and may continue
−Removed: in the future to subject the Company to, among other things, additional costs and expenses and have required and may in the future require
−Removed: costly changes to our business practices and information security systems, policies, procedures and practices.
−Removed: Our security controls over
−Removed: personal data, the training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data security, and the policies, procedures and practices we
−Removed: implemented or may implement in the future may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal data by us or the third-party service providers
+Added: as well as our limited resources and personnel, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies,
+Added: operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential

+Added: If we fail to comply with personal data protection
+Added: and privacy laws, we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively

+Added: In the ordinary course of our business when we
+Added: generate sales, we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal
+Added: data”), primarily employees, former employees and consumers with whom we interact.
+Added: For example, when we operated Qplash we
+Added: collected and processed personal data concerning consumers who access and purchase products on the platform.
+Added: As a result, we are
+Added: subject to various U.S.
+Added: federal and state and foreign laws and regulations relating to personal data.
+Added: These laws have been subject
+Added: to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted in other jurisdictions at any time.
+Added: These laws impose

+Added: or may implement in the future may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal data by us or the third-party service providers
and vendors whose technology, systems and services we use in connection with the receipt, storage and transmission of personal data.
−Removed: access or improper disclosure of personal data in violation of personal data protection or privacy laws could harm our reputation, cause
−Removed: loss of consumer confidence, subject us to regulatory enforcement actions (including fines), and result in private litigation against
−Removed: us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, all of
−Removed: which could negatively affect our business and operating results.
−Removed: If our third-party service providers and business
−Removed: partners do not satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.
−Removed: In the conduct of our business,
−Removed: we rely on relationships with third parties, including cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers,
−Removed: distributors, contractors, joint venture partners and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support
−Removed: of key portions of our operations.
−Removed: These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to similar risks as we are relating
−Removed: to cybersecurity, privacy violations, business interruption, and systems and employee failures, and are subject to legal, regulatory and
−Removed: market risks of their own.
−Removed: Our third-party service providers and business partners may not fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities
−Removed: in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.
−Removed: In addition, while we have procedures in place for selecting and managing
−Removed: our relationships with third-party service providers and other business partners, we do not have control over their business operations
−Removed: or governance and compliance systems, practices and procedures, which increases our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk.
−Removed: If we are unable to effectively manage our third-party relationships, or for any reason our third-party service providers or business
−Removed: partners fail to satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.
−Removed: Our results of operations may fluctuate from
−Removed: quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.
−Removed: Our sales are seasonal, and we
−Removed: experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors.
−Removed: Companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater
−Removed: percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September.
−Removed: Timing of customer purchases will vary each year
−Removed: and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another.
−Removed: As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of
−Removed: results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results
−Removed: expected for the fiscal year.
−Removed: Changes in accounting standards and subjective
−Removed: assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.
−Removed: GAAP and related pronouncements,
−Removed: implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but
−Removed: not limited to, stock-based compensation, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective
−Removed: assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management.
−Removed: Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions,
−Removed: estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.
−Removed: If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our stock price and investor confidence could be materially and
−Removed: adversely affected.
−Removed: We are required to maintain both
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that are effective.
−Removed: Because of their inherent limitations,
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
−Removed: that the controls will prevent or detect misstatements.
−Removed: Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only
−Removed: the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: The failure of
−Removed: controls by design deficiencies or absence of adequate controls could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial
−Removed: results, which could also negatively impact our stock price and investor confidence.
−Removed: We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico to
−Removed: provide us with our finished SALT tequila product.
−Removed: Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could
−Removed: cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.
−Removed: We depend on a distiller in Mexico,
−Removed: a company in Jalisco, for the production, bottling, labeling, capping and packaging of our finished tequila product.
−Removed: We do not have a
−Removed: written agreement with our distiller in Mexico obligating it to produce our product.
−Removed: The termination of our relationship with our distiller
−Removed: in Mexico distiller or an adverse change in the terms of its services could have a negative impact on our business.
−Removed: If our distiller in
−Removed: Mexico increases its prices, we may not have alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and may not be able to raise the prices
−Removed: of our products to cover all, or even a portion, of the increased costs.
−Removed: In addition, if our distiller in Mexico fails to perform satisfactorily,
−Removed: fails to handle increased orders, or the loss of the services of our distiller in Mexico, along with delays in shipments of products,
−Removed: could cause us to fail to meet orders, lose sales, incur additional costs, and/or expose us to product quality issues.
−Removed: In turn, this could
−Removed: cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with our customers and consumers, ultimately leading to a
−Removed: decline in our business and results of operations.
−Removed: Regulatory decisions and changes in the legal,
−Removed: regulatory and tax environment where our tequila is produced and where we operate could limit our business activities or increase our
−Removed: operating costs and reduce our margins.
−Removed: Our business is subject to extensive
−Removed: regulation regarding production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labeling of beverage alcohol products in the U.S.
−Removed: and in Mexico,
−Removed: where our tequila is produced.
−Removed: We are required to comply with these regulations and maintain various permits and licenses.
−Removed: required to conduct business only with holders of licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute, and sell spirits.
−Removed: We cannot assure
−Removed: you that these and other governmental regulations, applicable to our industry, will not change or become more stringent.
−Removed: Moreover, because
−Removed: these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when, and to what extent, liability may arise.
−Removed: Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems,
−Removed: including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking,
−Removed: alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions
−Removed: or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products.
−Removed: Failure to comply with any of the current
−Removed: or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products, could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation
−Removed: of our licenses and permits.
−Removed: Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we may
−Removed: find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our
−Removed: sales and profit potential.
−Removed: In addition, the distribution of
−Removed: beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation both in the United States and internationally (and, in the United States, at
−Removed: both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise
−Removed: duties in most countries around the world.
−Removed: An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our sales
−Removed: revenue and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories
−Removed: of beverage alcohol.
−Removed: We face substantial competition in the alcoholic
−Removed: and non-alcoholic beverage industry, and we may not be able to effectively compete.
−Removed: Consolidation among spirits producers,
−Removed: distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our products.
−Removed: Consolidation at any level
−Removed: could hinder the distribution and sale of our products as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our brands, both during
−Removed: and after transition periods, because our brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio.
−Removed: Expansion into new product
−Removed: categories by other suppliers, or innovation by new entrants into the market, could increase competition in our product categories.
−Removed: to our route-to-consumer models or partners in important markets could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruption, higher implementation-related
−Removed: or fixed costs, and could negatively affect other business relationships we might have with that partner.
−Removed: Distribution network disruption
−Removed: or fluctuations in our product inventory levels with distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could negatively affect our results for a
−Removed: particular period.
−Removed: Our competitors may respond to
−Removed: industry and economic conditions more rapidly or effectively than we do.
−Removed: Our competitors offer products that compete directly with ours
−Removed: for shelf space, promotional displays, and consumer purchases.
−Removed: Pricing, (including price promotions, discounting, couponing, and free
−Removed: goods), marketing, new product introductions, entry into our distribution networks, and other competitive behavior by our competitors
−Removed: could adversely affect our sales margins, and profitability.
−Removed: Our business operations may be adversely affected
−Removed: by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our products.
−Removed: These risks include:
−Removed: Unfavorable economic conditions and related low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, sovereign debt defaults, sequestrations, austerity measures, higher interest rates, political instability, higher inflation, deflation, lower returns on pension assets, or lower discount rates for pension obligations;
−Removed: Changes in laws, regulations, or policies - especially those that affect the production, importation, marketing, sale, or consumption of our beverage alcohol products;
−Removed: ● Tax rate changes (including excise, sales, tariffs, duties, corporate, individual income, dividends, capital gains), or changes in
−Removed: related reserves, changes in tax rules or accounting standards, and the unpredictability and suddenness with which they can occur;
−Removed: ● Dependence upon the continued growth of brand names;
−Removed: ● Changes in consumer preferences, consumption, or purchase patterns - particularly away from tequila, and our ability to anticipate
−Removed: and react to them;
−Removed: bar, restaurant, travel, or other on-premise declines;
−Removed: ● Unfavorable consumer reaction to our products, package changes, product reformulations, or other product innovation;
−Removed: ● Decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products in our markets;
−Removed: ● Production facility or supply chain disruption;
−Removed: ● Imprecision in supply/demand forecasting;
−Removed: ● Higher costs, lower quality, or unavailability of energy, input materials, labor, or finished goods;
−Removed: ● Route-to-consumer changes that affect the timing of our sales, temporarily disrupt the marketing or sale of our products, or result
−Removed: in higher implementation related or fixed costs;
−Removed: ● Inventory fluctuations in our products by distributors, wholesalers, or retailers;
−Removed: Competitors’ consolidation or other competitive
−Removed: activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category
−Removed: expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;
−Removed: ● Insufficient protection of our intellectual property rights;
−Removed: ● Product recalls or other product liability claims;
−Removed: product counterfeiting, tampering, or product quality issues;
−Removed: ● Significant legal disputes and proceedings;
−Removed: government investigations (particularly of industry or company business, trade or marketing
−Removed: ● Failure or breach of key information technology systems;
−Removed: ● Negative publicity related to our company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance or prospects;
−Removed: ● Business disruption, decline, or costs related to organizational changes, reductions in workforce, or other cost-cutting measures,
−Removed: or our failure to attract or retain key executive or employee talent.
−Removed: Uncertainty in the financial markets and other
−Removed: adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major countries in which we do business could adversely affect
−Removed: our industry, business and results of operations.
−Removed: Global economic uncertainties,
−Removed: including foreign currency exchange rates, affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast
−Removed: and plan our future business activities.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that economic improvements will occur, or that they would be sustainable,
−Removed: or that they would enhance conditions in markets relevant to us.
−Removed: Our limited operating history makes it difficult
−Removed: to forecast our future results, making any investment in us highly speculative.
−Removed: We have a limited operating history,
−Removed: and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results.
−Removed: We may not accurately
−Removed: forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore,
−Removed: we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts.
−Removed: Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and
−Removed: estimates of future revenue.
−Removed: As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected
−Removed: revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
−Removed: Risks Related to Our Securities
−Removed: An investment in our common stock is speculative
−Removed: and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
−Removed: An investment in our common stock
−Removed: is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment.
−Removed: Investors will be subject to substantial
−Removed: risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.
−Removed: Future sales of common stock, or the perception
−Removed: of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
+Added: Unauthorized access or improper disclosure of personal data in violation of personal data protection or privacy laws could harm our
+Added: reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence, subject us to regulatory enforcement actions (including fines), and result in private
+Added: litigation against us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal
+Added: prosecution, all of which could negatively affect our business and operating results.
+Added: Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter
+Added: to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.
+Added: In the past, our sales were seasonal, and we may experience
+Added: seasonality if we resume generating revenue.
+Added: Companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater percentage of their revenues
+Added: during the warm weather months of April through September.
+Added: The timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected
+Added: to shift from one quarter to another.
+Added: As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are
+Added: not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.
+Added: Material weaknesses in our internal control over
+Added: financial reporting may cause us to fail to timely and accurately report our financial results or result in a material misstatement of
+Added: our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: A material weakness exists over our financial reporting.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is
+Added: a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
+Added: timely basis.
+Added: As disclosed in this Report under “Item 9A-Controls and Procedures”, we have identified material weaknesses
+Added: in the Company’s internal controls related to a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and insufficient accounting
+Added: employees, resulting in a lack of controls to ensure maintenance of documentation supporting transactions recorded in the Company’s
+Added: accounting records.
+Added: Management has determined that these material weaknesses which result in material misstatements of significant accounts
+Added: and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented
+Added: In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.
+Added: Once we obtain
+Added: sufficient working capital, we intend to remediate the material weaknesses.
+Added: It is possible that the material weaknesses over our financial
+Added: reporting or the discovery of additional material weaknesses and their possible effect on our financial and operating results, could have
+Added: material and adverse effect on our stock price and investor confidence.
+Added: Risks Related to our Securities and Other Risks
+Added: Future sales of Common
+Added: Stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

−Removed: Series A Preferred Stock
−Removed: Pursuant to a certificate of designation filed with
−Removed: the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on June 10, 2025 (the “Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock”),
−Removed: one thousand (1,000) shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
−Removed: (“Series A Preferred Stock”).
−Removed: The Certificate of Designation provides that each Series A Preferred Share will have twenty-five

−Removed: The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares has granted an irrevocable proxy to certain officers of the Company to vote the Series A Preferred
−Removed: Shares in accordance with the terms of the Issuance Documents, in connection with the Special Meeting.
−Removed: Per the terms of the Issuance Documents,

−Removed: The Series A Preferred will vote as described above
−Removed: to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, which could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders if
−Removed: additional shares are issued.
−Removed: The increase in authorized shares provides us with greater flexibility to issue additional equity securities
−Removed: for various corporate purposes, including financings, equity compensation, or other strategic transactions.
−Removed: However, any such issuances
−Removed: may dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
−Removed: the issuance of additional shares may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company, which could discourage

−Removed: There can be no assurance as to when or if any additional shares will be issued
−Removed: or the terms on which such issuances may occur.
−Removed: We have issued multiple classes of preferred

−Removed: The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the

−Removed: Although holders may not receive shares of common stock exceeding 4.99%
−Removed: of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately after affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent holders from

+Added: Company may sell and issue to C/M shares of Common Stock for total gross proceeds of up to $35 million.
+Added: The Company recently registered
+Added: up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC Agreement.
+Added: Since then, the Company has sold a total of 4,840,254 shares under
+Added: the ELOC Agreement for total gross proceeds of $1,917,709 as of April 14, 2026.
+Added: In addition, pursuant to Registration Rights Agreements
+Added: entered into in connection with our sale of Series A-1 and accompanying Warrants, Series B, as well as subsequent convertible promissory
+Added: notes, we recently registered the resale of an additional up to 7,765,238 shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of those securities.
+Added: See also the Risk Factor titled “We have issued multiple classes of preferred stock and other securities of the Company that will
+Added: result in dilution to existing stockholders upon their conversion and exercise.”
+Added: Due to the passage of time
+Added: many shares of our Common Stock outstanding or issuable upon conversion or exercise of derivative securities, including securities that
+Added: were issued in 2025, are or may become sellable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
+Added: general, from time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary
+Added: brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations.
+Added: In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate
+Added: stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement.
+Added: Affiliates may sell after six
+Added: months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.
+Added: Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in
+Added: the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
+Added: predict if and when selling stockholders may sell such shares in the public market.
+Added: We have issued multiple
+Added: classes of preferred stock and other securities of the Company that will result in dilution to existing stockholders upon their conversion
+Added: and exercise.
+Added: The issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of our
+Added: outstanding convertible preferred stock will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders.
+Added: series of preferred stock are convertible into a total of up to 7,635,998 shares of Common
+Added: Stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations and certain adjustments.
+Added: Further, the Series A-1 and Series B each allow the holders
+Added: to convert at a reduced conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five trading day volume weighted average price calculated
+Added: as of the date an applicable conversion notice, subject to a floor price of $1.25.
+Added: The Series A-1 and Series B each entitle the holders
+Added: thereof to quarterly dividends which may be paid in Common Stock in lieu of cash.
+Added: Although conversions are subject to stockholder approval
+Added: and thereafter holders may not receive shares of Common Stock exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after
+Added: affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent holders from receiving shares up to the 4.99% limit, selling those shares,
+Added: and then receiving the rest of the shares it is due, in one or more tranches, while still staying below the 4.99% limit.
+Added: outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the sales of Series A-1 since June 2025 entitle the holders thereof to receive additional
+Added: shares of Common Stock upon exercises thereof.
+Added: If holders choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of
+Added: our Common Stock.
Additionally, the continued sale of shares issuable upon successive conversions will likely create significant downward
−Removed: pressure on the price of our common stock as holders sells material amounts of our common stock over time and/or in a short period of
+Added: pressure on the price of our Common Stock as holders sell material amounts of our Common Stock over time and/or in a short period of time.
This could place further downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock and in turn result in holders receiving an ever-increasing

which could lead to our Common Stock becoming devalued or worthless.
−Removed: The market price of our common stock
−Removed: has been volatile over the year and may continue to be volatile.
+Added: Further, these series of
+Added: preferred stock contain dividend rights and liquidation preferences in favor of the holders thereof that may operate to limit or reduce
+Added: the rights of holders of our Common Stock, including with respect to dividends or liquidation events that may occur in the future.
+Added: example, the dividend rights of the preferred stock would reduce the Company’s ability to declare dividends while the preferred
+Added: stock is outstanding.
+Added: Further, the senior ranking in liquidation preference for the preferred stockholders would operate to reduce or
+Added: eliminate any amounts which may otherwise have been available to Common Stockholders upon a dissolution or winding up of the Company.
+Added: These terms could have a material adverse effect on the holders of our Common Stock.
+Added: The market price
+Added: of our Common Stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile.
The market price and
−Removed: trading volume of our common stock has been volatile over the past year, and it may continue to be volatile.
−Removed: Over fiscal year 2024 and the date of this annual report, our common stock has traded as low as $0.96 and as high as $29.20
−Removed: We cannot predict the price at which our common stock will trade in the future, and the price of
−Removed: our common stock may decline.
−Removed: The price at which our common stock trades may fluctuate significantly and
−Removed: may be influenced by many factors, including our financial results, developments generally affecting the coffee industry, general economic,
−Removed: industry and market conditions, the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock, fluctuations in coffee prices,
−Removed: investor perceptions of our business, reports by industry analysts, negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers
−Removed: regarding their own performances, and the impact of other “Risk Factors” discussed in the Annual Report.
−Removed: Because certain principal stockholders own a
−Removed: large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2024, our ten
−Removed: (10) largest shareholders own or controlled approximately 57% of our outstanding common stock .
−Removed: If those stockholders act together,
−Removed: they would have the ability to have a substantial influence on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election
−Removed: and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
−Removed: our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval.
−Removed: In addition, the ownership of
−Removed: such stockholders could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us, and consequently, adversely affect the price of our common stock.
−Removed: These stockholders may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.
−Removed: We do not expect to pay dividends and investors
−Removed: should not buy our Common Stock expecting to receive dividends.
−Removed: We do not anticipate that we will
−Removed: declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our
−Removed: common stock if the price appreciates.
−Removed: You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends.
−Removed: Therefore, our failure
−Removed: to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that our common stock
−Removed: will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the NYSE American.
−Removed: Since June 11, 2021, our common
−Removed: stock has been listed on the NYSE American, under the symbol “SBEV”.
−Removed: The NYSE American has rules for continued listing, including,
−Removed: without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements.
−Removed: Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from
−Removed: the NYSE American), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price
−Removed: quotations on our common stock.
−Removed: This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
−Removed: Our ability to issue additional securities
−Removed: for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely
−Removed: affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
−Removed: On October 6, 2023, the NYSE American
−Removed: notified the Company that we were not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the continued listing standards set forth in the NYSE American
−Removed: Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of (i) at least $2.0 million
−Removed: if it has reported losses from continuing operations or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years.
−Removed: The notice had no immediate
−Removed: impact on the listing of our common stock, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements.
−Removed: In accordance with
−Removed: applicable NYSE American procedures, we submitted a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) advising of the definitive action(s) the
−Removed: Company has taken, is taking, or would take, that would bring us into compliance with the continued listing standards within the 18 months
−Removed: of receipt of the notice.
−Removed: The NYSE American reviewed and accepted the Plan as a reasonable demonstration of an ability to conform to the
−Removed: relevant standards in the 18-month period.
−Removed: On December 20, 2023, we received a notification (the “Plan Letter”), with NYSE
−Removed: American acceptance of the proposed plan and further deficiency notice.
−Removed: In the Plan Letter the NYSE American indicated that in addition
−Removed: to Section 1003(a)(i), the Company was also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, requiring a listed company
−Removed: to have stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations or net losses in three
−Removed: of its four most recent fiscal years.
−Removed: On June 5, 2024, the Company received
−Removed: notification from the NYSE American indicating that it is not in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards
−Removed: under Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million
−Removed: or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.
−Removed: On April 7, 2025, Company, NYSE
−Removed: American publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist
−Removed: the Company’s Common Stock and publicly trading Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock, from NYSE American.
−Removed: NYSE Regulation
−Removed: has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1009(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide as the
−Removed: Company was unable to demonstrate that it had regained compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the Company Guide by the
−Removed: end of the maximum 18-month compliance plan period, which expired on April 6, 2025.
−Removed: April 16, 2025, the Company, received an official notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is
−Removed: not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards due to the failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the
−Removed: year ended December 31, 2024 by the filing due date of April 15, 2025.
−Removed: Our common stock will continue
−Removed: to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the 18-month period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued
−Removed: listing standards of the NYSE American and continued periodic review by the NYSE American of the Company’s progress with respect
−Removed: There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its goals set forth in the Plan.
−Removed: If we are unable to satisfy
−Removed: the NYSE American rules and listing standards, or are unable to make progress on our Plan, our securities could be subject to delisting.
−Removed: If the NYSE American were to delist
−Removed: our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:
−Removed: ● a limited availability
−Removed: for market quotations for our securities;
−Removed: ● reduced liquidity with
−Removed: respect to our securities;
−Removed: ● a determination that
−Removed: our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules
−Removed: and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;
−Removed: ● limited amount of news
−Removed: and analyst coverage;
−Removed: ● a decreased ability
−Removed: to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
−Removed: Our common stock could be further diluted as
−Removed: the result of the issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.
−Removed: Our issuance of additional common
−Removed: stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall
−Removed: percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments
−Removed: to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional common stock to certain
−Removed: of our stockholders.
+Added: trading volume of our Common Stock has been volatile in recent periods, and it may continue to be volatile.
+Added: example, thus far in 2026 through April 10, 2026, our Common Stock has traded as low as $0.34 and as high as $0.98 per share.
+Added: We cannot predict the price at which our Common Stock will trade in the future, and the price of our Common
+Added: Stock may decline.
+Added: The price at which our Common Stock trades may fluctuate significantly and may be influenced
+Added: by many factors, including our financial results, developments generally affecting the beverage industry, general economic, industry and market conditions,
+Added: the depth and liquidity of the market for our Common Stock, fluctuations in prices and costs, investor perceptions of our business,
+Added: reports by industry analysts, negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performances, and
+Added: the impact of other Risk Factors discussed herein.
+Added: Our Common Stock could
+Added: be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional Common Stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.
+Added: We expect to need to issue
+Added: additional shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock equivalents in the near term in order to meet our capital requirements and to close
+Added: the Medterra acquisition or strategic transaction.
+Added: Our issuance of additional Common Stock, convertible securities, options and warrants
+Added: could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward
+Added: pressure on the market price of our Common Stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and
+Added: warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional Common Stock to certain of our stockholders.
+Added: We incur significant additional
+Added: costs as a result of being a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company
+Added: responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
+Added: We incur increased costs
+Added: associated with corporate governance requirements that are become applicable to us as a public company, including rules and regulations
+Added: of the SEC, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Customer Protection Act of 2010, and the Exchange
+Added: Act, as well as the rules of the NYSE American.
+Added: These rules and regulations significantly increase our accounting, legal and financial
+Added: compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming, including due to increased training of our current employees, additional
+Added: hiring of new employees, and increased assistance from consultants.
+Added: These rules and regulations also make it more expensive for us to
+Added: maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
+Added: As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain
+Added: qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers.
+Added: Furthermore, these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial
+Added: compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
+Added: In addition, our management team must devote substantial
+Added: attention to interacting with the investment community and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies,
+Added: which may divert attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, including operational, research and development and
+Added: sales and marketing activities.
+Added: Increases in costs incurred or diversion of management’s attention as a result of becoming a publicly
+Added: traded company may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
+Added: Our Board of Directors
+Added: may issue and fix the terms of shares of our preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power
+Added: of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.
+Added: Our Articles of Incorporation
+Added: authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with par value $0.001 per share, with such
+Added: designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time-to-time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”).
+Added: is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other
+Added: rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.
+Added: In the event of such issuances,
+Added: the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control
+Added: of our company.
+Added: Any such issuance would be subject to terms and conditions of any current offering that may disallow any such issuance.
