Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Exchange Act "), as of December 31, 2025 was completed. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ ICFR ”) (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
27
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding ICFR. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our CEO and CFO evaluated the effectiveness of our ICFR as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“ COSO ”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Our CEO and CFO excluded the ICFR of Irwin from their evaluation as of December 31, 2025. As discussed in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on August 8, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed minimal liabilities of Irwin. Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of ICFR for a period of up to one year following an acquisition while integrating the acquired company.
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our ICFR was effective.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of FitLife Brands, Inc.
Omaha, NE
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FitLife Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Acquisition of Irwin
As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, on August 8, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Irwin Naturals and its related affiliates (“Irwin”) through an asset purchase transaction under Section 363 of the US Bankruptcy Code for $42.5 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to Irwin’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The acquired intangible assets included $16.5 million of brands and $9 million of customer relationships. The fair value of the brands intangible asset was estimated by management using a relief from royalty method.
The fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was estimated by management using a multi-period excess earnings method. These fair value estimates were based on significant assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and discount rates.
We identified the valuation of the acquired brands and customer relationships as a critical audit matter due to high degree of auditor judgment and increased level of audit effort required to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s forecasts when developing the fair value estimates.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others:
●
We obtained and read the purchase agreement;
●
We evaluated the appropriateness of management’s valuation methodologies;
●
We evaluated the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management;
●
We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in valuation methods; and
●
We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures related to the acquisition.
We have served as the Company’s auditor from 2018 through 2019, and since October 2023.

FITLIFE BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Summary
FitLife Brands, Inc. (the “ Company ”) is a provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements and wellness products for health-conscious consumers marketed under the following brand names: (i) NDS Nutrition, PMD Sports, SirenLabs, Core Active, Nutrology, and Metis Nutrition (together, the “ NDS Products ”); (ii) iSatori, BioGenetic Laboratories, and Energize (together, the " iSatori Products "); (iii) Dr. Tobias, All Natural Advice, and Maritime Naturals (together, the “ MRC Products "); (iv) MusclePharm; and (v) Irwin Naturals, Applied Nutrition, and Nature’s Secret (together, the “ Irwin Products ”), each of which was acquired in August 2025.
The Company distributes the NDS Products principally through franchised General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (“ GNC ”) stores located both domestically and internationally. The iSatori Products are sold through retail locations, which include specialty and mass market retailers, as well as online directly to the end consumer. The Company distributes the MRC Products primarily online through e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, directly to the end consumer. MusclePharm’s products are sold to both wholesale customers as well as online through various e-commerce platforms directly to the end consumer. Irwin Products are sold principally through wholesale channels in mass market and health food store segments.
FitLife Brands is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information on the Company, please go to www.fitlifebrands.com. The Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (“ Common Stock ”), trades under the symbol “FTLF” on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Stock Split
On February 7, 2025, the Company effected a 2 -for-1 stock split of its Common Stock and proportionately increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 120,000 . All share and per share information throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split as of the earliest period presented. The shares of Common Stock retain a par value of $ 0.01 per share. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares issued in the stock split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital in excess of par value to Common Stock.
Acquisition of Irwin Naturals
On August 8, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Irwin Naturals and its related affiliates (“ Irwin ”) through an asset purchase transaction under Section 363 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Total consideration for the acquisition was $ 42,500 . Of this amount, $ 29,750 was funded using proceeds from a new term loan provided by First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (the “ Bank ”), $ 6,000 was funded from a new $ 10,000 revolving line of credit from the Bank, with the remainder funded from the Company’s available cash balances.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) . Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include Irwin’s assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses since acquisition, including Irwin revenue from August 8, 2025 through December 31, 2025, of $ 19,465 .
F-6
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates. Changes in reported amounts of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that occur as a result of changes in exchange rates between foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar are included in foreign currency translation adjustment. Foreign currency translation adjustment is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue and expense transactions use an average rate prevailing during the period of the related transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each subsidiary are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expense recognized during the periods presented.
Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, allowance for inventory obsolescence, product returns, deals and promotions, depreciable lives of property and equipment, allocation of purchase price from business combinations, analyses of impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional supplements and wellness products to consumers.
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) . The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products to our customers based on written sales terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products to a customer.
All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and consist of nutritional supplements and wellness products. The products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.
The Company’s products are also sold on e-commerce platforms including Amazon. For these transactions, the Company evaluated principal versus agent considerations to determine appropriateness of recording distribution and platform fees paid to third-party e-commerce companies as an expense or as a reduction of revenue. The Company records distribution and platform fees to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Distribution and platform fees are not recorded as a reduction of revenue because the Company (1) owns the goods before they are transferred to the customer, (2) can direct Amazon, similar to other third-party logistics providers (“Logistic Providers”) , to return the Company’s inventory to any location specified by the Company, (3) has the responsibility to make customers whole following any returns made by customers directly to Logistic Providers and the Company retains the back-end inventory risk, (4) is subject to credit risk (i.e., credit card chargebacks), (5) establishes prices of its products, (6) can determine who fulfills the goods to the customer (Amazon or the Company) and (7) can limit quantities or stop selling the goods at any time. Based on these considerations, the Company is the principal in this arrangement. Advertising fees paid to Amazon are recorded in advertising and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income
The Company disaggregates revenue into distribution channels, geographical regions, and collections of brands (Legacy FitLife and recently acquired brands). The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Online revenue, which consists of revenue generated from sales on the Company’s own websites as well as third-party e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 51 % of total revenue, compared to roughly 67 % of total revenue during the same twelve-month period in 2024.
Sales to customers in the U.S. were approximately 95 % for both of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, with the balance of sales to customers primarily in Canada.
F-7
The Company provides limited financial performance metrics for three collections of brands—Legacy FitLife (thirteen brands) and Irwin (three brands). These collections of brands do not meet the definition of operating segments and are not managed as such.

Control of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our facilities or delivery to our customers, and the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised goods to the customer. Payments for sales are generally made by check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.
For direct-to-consumer sales, with the exception of Irwin Products, the Company allows for returns within 30 days of purchase. Irwin allows for returns within 60 days of purchase for direct-to-consumer sales. Our wholesale customers may return purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances, which include expired or soon-to-be-expired products located in retail stores or distribution centers, and products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”).
A right of return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Such elements of variable consideration include, but are not limited to, estimated sales allowances, defective products, product returns and sales incentives, such as markdowns and sales promotions. The Company uses the most likely amount method to quantify the variable consideration. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.
Customer and Vendor Concentration
Total net sales to one customer during 2025 and 2024 were 14 % and 23 % of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 there were two vendors who accounted for 40 % and 35 % of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was one vendor who accounted for 59 % of the Company's consolidated accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were three vendors who accounted for 50 %, 14 %, and 13 % of the Company's inventory-related purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were two vendors who accounted for 44 % and 28 % of the Company's inventory-related purchases.
Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Credit Losses and Accounts Receivable Concentration
All of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for credit losses, estimating losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for products. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped into categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is recorded based upon management’s assessment of collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had provided an allowance for credit losses of $ 9 and $ 41 , respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, there were two customers who accounted for 25 % and 13 % of the total accounts receivable balance, respectively. Accounts receivable attributable to one customer as of December 31, 2024 represented 35 % of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, respectively.
Product Returns, Sales Incentives and Other Forms of Variable Consideration
In measuring revenue and determining the consideration the Company is entitled to as part of a contract with a customer, the Company takes into account the related elements of variable consideration. Such elements of variable consideration include, but are not limited to, estimated sales allowances, defective products, product returns and sales incentives, such as markdowns and sales promotions. For these types of arrangements, the adjustments to revenue are recorded at the later of when (i) the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related products to the customers, or (ii) the Company pays, or promises to pay, the consideration.
With the exception of Irwin, we currently have a 30-day product return policy for direct-to-consumer sales, which allows for a 100% sales price refund for the return of unopened and undamaged products purchased from us online through one of our websites or e-commerce platforms. Irwin allows for returns within 60 days of purchase for direct-to-consumer sales. Product sold to certain wholesale customers may be returned from store shelves or the distribution center in the event product is damaged, short dated, expired or recalled.
F-8
GNC maintains a customer satisfaction program which allows customers to return product to the store for credit or refund. Subject to certain terms and restrictions, GNC may require reimbursement from vendors for unsaleable returned product through either direct payment or credit against a future invoice. We also support a product return policy for iSatori Products, whereby customers can return product for credit or refund. Product returns can and do occur from time to time and can be material.
For the sale of goods with a right of return, the Company estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method and recognizes revenue for the consideration it expects to be entitled to when control of the related product is transferred to the customers and records a product returns liability for the amount it expects to credit back its customers. Under this method, certain forms of variable consideration are based on expected sell-through results, which requires subjective estimates. These estimates are supported by historical results as well as specific facts and circumstances related to the current period. The product returns liability includes estimates that directly impact reported revenue. These estimates are calculated based on a history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by customers regarding their inventory levels. Consideration of these factors results in an estimate for anticipated sales returns that reflects increases or decreases related to seasonal fluctuations. In addition, as necessary, product returns liability may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that are considered, and will continue to be considered, include, but are not limited to, changes in the retail environment and the Company's decision to continue to support new and existing products.
Information for product returns is received on a regular basis and adjusted for accordingly. Adjustments for returns are based on factual information and historical trends for Company products and are specific to each distribution channel. We monitor, among other things, remaining shelf life and sell-through data on a weekly basis. If we determine there are any risks or issues with any specific products, we accrue sales return allowances based on management’s assessment of the overall risk and likelihood of returns in light of all information available.
Total allowance for product returns, sales returns and incentive programs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $ 1,039 and $ 564 , respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs of products, in-bound freight charges, shipping and handling costs, purchase and receiving costs, and commissions paid to Amazon and other online selling platforms. Other expense not related to the production and distribution of our products is classified as operating expense.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed up to amounts designated by the regulatory frameworks of the jurisdictions in which the accounts are maintained. The Company may be exposed to risk for the funds held in bank accounts that exceed the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high-quality financial institutions. The Company had cash balances exceeding the guarantee during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists.
Restricted cash consists of cash on deposit with a financial institution in an interest-bearing account pursuant to a credit card agreement. Approximately $ 52 held in short-term interest-bearing accounts was pledged as collateral for financing arrangements during the first several months of 2025. The collateral requirement was terminated during the third quarter of 2025; therefore, no cash was restricted as of December 31, 2025.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with costs determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned and production requirements. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate allowance for expiring, slow moving and excess inventory amounted to $ 247 and $ 100 , respectively.
F-9
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the guidance of ASC 842, Leases . The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments.
Irwin is a lessee under a certain operating lease with a third-party lessor for its main office. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , the lease liability for Irwin was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the acquisition date, and the right-of-use asset is measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. As the lease was renewed in proximity to the date the Irwin Business was acquired by FitLife, the terms of the lease are considered by FitLife to be market terms at the acquisition date. Accordingly, FitLife measured the net present value of the remaining contractual lease payments as of the acquisition date using an incremental borrowing rate consistent with FitLife’s other operating leases.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the estimated life of these assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.
Management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based upon management’s annual assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment and other long-lived assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Intangible and Long-lived Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets and intangible assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist which warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group over the asset’s fair value.
Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Goodwill
The Company has determined that it has a single reporting unit for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment test. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. If the qualitative assessment warrants further analysis, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using the market approach. The Company determines the amount of a potential goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized.
As the Company uses the market approach to determine fair value of the reporting unit, the price of its Common Stock is an important component of the fair value calculation. If the Company’s stock price experiences significant price and volume fluctuations, this will impact the fair value of the reporting unit, which can lead to potential impairment in future periods.
Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
F-10
Acquisitions and Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and separately identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired trademarks and trade names, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is the period needed to gather all information necessary to make the purchase price allocation, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) . Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities of the Company relate primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate.
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.
Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and antidilutive options that were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value , establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the use of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:
●
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
●
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
F-11
●
Level 3 – Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company’s own data.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the term loans approximate their fair value based on the market interest rates of these loans.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues restricted share units (“RSUs”) , stock options and warrants to employees in non-capital raising transactions for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to the terms established at the issuance date.
Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees and consultants for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . Stock-based payments to officers, directors, and employees, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock-based payments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or other applicable valuation model such as the Monte Carlo valuation pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.
Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis. Because the CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment composed of the financial results of FitLife Brands, Inc (See Note 12).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure ( “ ASC 280 ” ) , which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 ‑ 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Specifically, the guidance requires a tabular reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, with consistent categories and further disaggregation of material reconciling items, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in ASU 2023‑09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023‑09 effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but has resulted in additional disclosures within the footnotes of the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ ASU 2024-03 ”). The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.
F-12
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Credit Agreement
On August 8, 2025 (the “ Closing Date ”), the Company entered into a Loan, Security and Guarantee Agreement (the “ Credit Agreement ”) with the Bank. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank provided the Company with a five -year term loan in the amount of $ 40,625 (“ Irwin Term Loan ”) and a three -year revolving line of credit of up to $ 10,000 (the “ Credit Line ”, and collectively with the Irwin Term Loan, the “ Loan ”). The Company used (i) $ 29,750 from the Irwin Term Loan to complete the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Irwin (see Note 8); and (ii) $ 10,875 to pay off, retire and replace the outstanding balance of the Term Loans as of the Closing Date.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement the Loan accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to 2.5 % to 3.0 %, based on leverage, above SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the applicable selected interest period of one, three or six months (SOFR plus the aforementioned margin or the “ Applicable Rate ”). The Company began making quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest on the Irwin Term Loan on December 31, 2025.

All remaining principal and accrued interest on the Irwin Term Loan will be due and payable in full on August 8, 2030.
Outstanding advances under the revolving line of credit will accrue interest at the Applicable Rate, and the Company shall make payments of accrued interest on such advances at the end of each interest period and on the repayment of any advance with all remaining principal and accrued interest on the advances being due and payable in full on August 8, 2028.

The closing price for the Company’s Common Stock on December 31, 2025 was $ 16.27 , resulting in an intrinsic value of outstanding options of $ 9,992 .
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted stock options to purchase 8 shares of Common Stock to employees. The stock options are exercisable at $ 18.73 per share. The stock options expire in five years and vest (i) one fourth immediately on the date of grant, and (ii) in three equal annual installments thereafter. The total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $ 70 , which was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $ 18.73 per share, expected term of 5 years, volatility of 50 %, dividend rate of 0 %, and risk-free interest rate of 3.24 %. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award. The expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 22 shares of Company Common Stock. The stock options are exercisable at an average price of $ 16.63 per share, expire in five years and primarily vest as follows: one -fourth vested immediately upon issuance, and the remainder vest equally in equal annual installments over a period of three years from grant date. The total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $ 161 , which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumption: stock price of $ 16.63 per share, expected term of 5 years, volatility of 45 %, dividend rate of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 3.4 %. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option awards; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
F-16
The Company recognized $ 404 and $ 459 of stock-based compensation related to the vesting of these options during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Warrants
The Company issued no warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. There are no outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
NOTE 8. ACQUISITION OF IRWIN NATURALS
On August 8, 2025 (“ the Closing Date ”), the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Irwin through an asset purchase transaction under Section 363 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Total consideration for the acquisition was $ 42,500 . Of this amount, $ 29,750 was funded using proceeds from a new term loan provided by the Bank and $ 6,000 was funded from a new $ 10,000 revolving line of credit from the Bank, with the remainder funded from the Company’s available cash balances.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $ 2,075 and $ 26 , respectively, of transaction-related costs for the acquisition of Irwin.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) 805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, and is as follows:

F-17
NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (INTEREST RATE SWAP)
On September 5, 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows associated with its variable-rate term loan (Note 6). The swap effectively converts approximately 50 % of the Company’s term loan from variable to fixed.
The agreement had a notional amount of $ 20,000 at inception, amortizes in accordance with the underlying debt, and requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.39 % while receiving a variable rate based on SOFR. The agreement expires on August 8, 2030.
The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and reclassified into interest expense as payments occur under the hedged debt. Any ineffective portion is recognized in current period earnings.
The fair value of the swap was a liability of $ 26 at December 31, 2025, which is presented as a derivative liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest-rate swap decreased OCI by $ 26 . The swap is measured under fair value guidance using Level 2 inputs. No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets by considering the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has the following U.S. federal losses carried forward. U.S. federal losses incurred prior to 2018 have a carry forward of 20 years, subsequent losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The Canadian non-capital loss carry forwards expire between 2038 and 2044.

Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. may be subject to limitations in the event of a change in ownership as defined under U.S. IRC Section 382, and similar state provisions. An "ownership change" is generally defined as a cumulative change in the ownership interest of significant stockholders of more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. In connection with the merger between the Company and one of its subsidiaries in 2015, the Company has evaluated its net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards under the provisions of U.S. IRC Section 382. The acquisition resulted in an ownership change under Section 382, subjecting the Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards generated prior to the acquisition to an annual limitation. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $ 3,716 of federal NOL carryforwards, of which $ 1,416 may be utilized subject to the Section 382 limitation. Based on the annual limitation, management expects that $ 2,300 of these carryforwards may not be fully utilized prior to expiration.
F-19
The deferred tax liability relates primarily to intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes in the jurisdictions to which they relate. Deferred income taxes have not been recorded on the basis differences for investments in consolidated subsidiaries as these basis differences are indefinitely reinvested or will reverse in a non-taxable manner. Quantification of the deferred income tax liability, if any, associated with indefinitely reinvested basis differences is not practicable.
The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these returns. Because the tax matters challenged by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain. The Company recognizes the effects of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements after determining that it is more-likely-than- not the uncertain tax positions will be sustained. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions or any accrued interest and penalties on the consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of interest and penalties in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
