REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Directors of Jones Soda Co.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Jones Soda Co. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2025 and the
related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December
31, 2025, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jones Soda Co. as of December 31,
2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 misstatements 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements
and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We
determined that there are no critical audit matters.
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Jones Soda Co.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jones Soda Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated 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 audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 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.
Promotional
Allowances:
As
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenue is recorded net of promotional allowances.
The recognition of these promotional allowances requires the Company to make estimates regarding the volume of sales, cost of the promotional
allowances, and amount of the promotional allowances that are expected to be redeemed. These estimates are made using various information
including historical and forecasted data. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining the promotional allowances
accrual and includes the following:
●
Determination
of the completeness of the various promotional allowances with customers and the forecasted sales volume for the period.
●
Assessing
the estimate of promotional allowances that are expected to be redeemed subsequent to period end.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:
●
We
selected a sample of promotional allowance claims and performed the following procedures:
○
Obtained
and tested the source documents for each selection, including promotional campaign and other documents that were part of the agreement
to identify significant terms.
○
Traced
a sample of promotional allowance claims to a listing of promotional campaigns during the period for completeness. Assessed the terms
in the promotional campaign and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies, along
with their use of estimates, in the determination of promotional allowance conclusions.
●
We
analyzed the customer base and historical promotional allowances offered to customers.
●
We
evaluated the reasonableness and accuracy of management’s judgements and estimates used in accounting for promotional allowances.
This included testing management’s estimate of calculating expected claims based on historical data, comparing the estimate
to revenue in the current period, comparing current promotional offer redemptions to historical estimates, and comparing actual promotional
allowances applied subsequent to December 31, 2024 to the promotional allowance accrual as of December 31, 2024.

Jones
Soda Co. develop, produce, market and distribute premium beverages that we sell and distribute primarily in the United States and Canada
through our network of independent distributors and directly to our national and regional retail accounts. We also sell products in select
international markets. Our products are sold in grocery stores, convenience and gas stores, on fountain in restaurants, “up and
down the street” in independent accounts such as delicatessens, sandwich shops and burger restaurants, as well as through our national
accounts with several large retailers. We refer to our network of independent distributors as our direct store delivery (“DSD”)
channel, and we refer to our national and regional accounts who receive shipments directly from us as our direct to retail (“DTR”)
channel. We do not directly manufacture our products, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third-party contract manufacturers.
We also sell various products online, including soda with customized labels, wearables, candy and other items, and we license our trademarks
for use on products sold by other manufacturers. In addition, during 2022, we developed and began to license THC infused cannabis products
under the “Mary Jones” brand name in various U.S. states that permitted the sale of THC infused products. We also have a
royalty-free license in perpetuity to intellectual property related to Mary Jones for us to license Mary Jones products for use only
in Canada.

are a Washington corporation and have the following subsidiaries: Jones Soda Co. (USA) Inc., Jones Soda (Canada) Inc., Pinestar Gold
Inc., and Mary Jones Holdco 2, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
On
June 19, 2025, the Company consummated a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), as amended, with MJ Reg Disrupters LLC (“MJ
Reg”) pursuant to which it sold all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in its wholly owned subsidiaries that operate
the cannabis (THC) beverage business (the “Cannabis Subsidiaries”) (Note 2).
Basis
of presentation and consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations applicable to financial reporting.
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions
between us and our subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had cash and cash-equivalents of approximately $ 3.6 million and $ 1.3 million, respectively, and working
capital of approximately ($ 0.5 ) million and $ 2.0 million, respectively. Net cash used in continuing operations during fiscal years 2025
and 2024 totaled approximately $ 1.3 million and $ 6.2 million, respectively which is an improvement of $ 4.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2025.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $ 4.9 million compared to the prior year.
This change was primarily driven by an improvement in net loss after adjusting for non-cash items, which decreased by approximately $ 4.7
million relative to 2024. Cash generated from changes in non-cash working capital compared to the prior year was improved by $ 0.2 million.
We incurred a net loss of approximately $ 1.7 million from continuing operations in 2025, compared to a net loss of approximately $ 9.7
million in 2024, reflecting the lower operating loss as well as the impact of the gain on the disposition of subsidiaries. Our accumulated
deficit increased to $ 94.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $ 92.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

Financing
activities provided net cash inflows of approximately $ 2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash inflows
of $ 3.7 million in 2024. The 2025 inflows were primarily attributable to proceeds from new loan financing and the issuance of promissory
notes, partially offset by repayments on existing debt and insurance financing arrangements. In contrast, the 2024 inflows were driven
largely by the completion of a private placement offering, which generated net proceeds of $ 3.6 million, along with net borrowings under
the revolving credit facility and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options. These inflows were offset by repayments on
the insurance financing agreement and withholding taxes related to restricted share units.
Investing
activities provided net cash of approximately $ 0.4 million in 2025, compared to cash used of $ 27 thousand in 2024. The increase was primarily
due to proceeds received from the disposal of a subsidiary, net of cash disposed, along with the proceeds from the sale of property,
plant and equipment.
We
have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To address this issue, in the first quarter of fiscal year
2025, the Company changed its senior leadership and is focusing on reducing its operating expenses while bringing products to market
with higher margins and potentially higher customer demand. Additionally, on February 19, 2025, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary
(the “Subsidiary”), entered into loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Two Shores Capital Corp (“Two
Shores”), pursuant to which the Subsidiary may borrow a maximum aggregate amount of up to $ 5 million, subject to satisfaction of
certain conditions. All advances drawn under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 13.75 % per annum and all present and
future obligations of the Subsidiary arising under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the
assets of the Company, the Subsidiary and the Company’s other United States subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement replaces the $ 2 million
revolving credit facility entered into by the Company in March 2024 (the “2024 Credit Facility”). The borrowing base under
the Loan Agreement expands the assets that can be financed against from only accounts receivable under the 2024 Credit Facility to accounts
receivable, inventory and customer purchase orders. The Loan Agreement was amended on December 1, 2025 to increase the facility to $ 10
million.
Based
on management’s current operating plan, the Company believes its cash on hand, projected cash generated from product sales and
funds received from under the Loan Agreement are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for a period of at least 12 months
subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. There is no assurance that management’s current
operating plan will be successful.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates
and assumptions include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives and valuation of capital assets, accounts receivable
credit loss reserve, trade promotion liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets,
contingencies, and forecasts supporting the going concern assumption and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid short-term investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase
to be cash equivalents.
Fair
value measurements
Applicable
accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from
the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date, Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and
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, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market
data by correlation or other means, and Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions about what factors market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available, including our own data.
The
carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
- 11 -
Accounts
receivable
Our
accounts receivable balance primarily includes balances from trade sales to distributors and retail customers. The allowance for credit
losses is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance for
credit losses based primarily on current trends and estimates. The Company reserves a percentage of trade receivable balance based on
collection history and current economic trends that the Company expects will impact the level of credit losses over the life of the receivables.
These reserves are re-evaluated on a regular basis and adjusted as needed. Once a receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, such balance
is charged against the reserve. Allowances for credit losses of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, are netted against accounts receivable. Changes in accounts receivable are primarily due to the timing and magnitude
of orders of products, the timing of when control of products is transferred to distributors and the timing of cash collections.
Activity
in the allowance for credit losses consists of the following for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

As
of December 31, 2025, one customer accounted for approximately 44 % of our accounts receivable, whereas as of December 31, 2024, no individual
customer represented a material concentration of our accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated
obsolete or excess inventory. Cost is based on actual cost on a first-in first-out basis. Raw materials that will be used in production
in the next twelve months are recorded in inventory. The provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are based on estimated forecasted
usage of inventories. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional
provisions for obsolete inventory. Provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are recorded as cost of goods sold and totaled $ 1.2 million
and $ 1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Fixed
assets
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on the declining balance basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:

Impairment
of long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets, which include fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows when evaluating for impairment. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded no impairment loss related to these assets.
Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency of our Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. We translate assets and liabilities related to these operations
to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the consolidated balance sheet; we convert revenues and expenses into
U.S. dollars using the average monthly exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported as a separate component of accumulated
other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses arising from the transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are included in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
(“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company
will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five
steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step
5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
See
Note 16, Segment information, for information on revenue disaggregated by geographic area.
Because
the Company’s agreements have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC
606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
Our
contracts have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at the point in time when the customer has title and the significant
risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Title and the significant risk and rewards of ownership are deemed to transfer when products
are loaded onto a truck for shipment or Free on Board (“FOB”) shipping point. The Company primarily receives fixed consideration
for sales of product, subject to adjustment as described below. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online
orders, and are included in revenue, and totaled approximately $ 0.4 million and $ 0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
- 13 -
Revenue
is recorded net of provisions for discounts, slotting fees payable by us to retailers to stock our products and promotion allowances.
Discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products
to distributors. The Company estimates these discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue
is recognized for product sales to customers. These estimates are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar
programs and require management judgement with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels. Differences between
estimated expense and actual costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined.
The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The liability
for promotional allowances is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts paid for slotting fees are recorded
as prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the corresponding term. For the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, our revenue was reduced by approximately $ 2.7 million and $ 4.3 million, respectively, for slotting fees and promotion allowances.
All
sales to distributors and customers are generally final. In limited instances we may accept returned product due to quality issues or
distributor terminations, and in such situations we would have variable consideration. The Company’s customers generally pay within
30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice. The Company offers prompt pay discounts of up to 2 % to certain customers typically for payments
made within 15 days. Prompt pay discounts are recorded as a deduction to revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, prompt pay discounts to these certain customers were considered immaterial to the related accounts
receivable balances presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising
costs
Advertising
costs, including promotions and sponsorships, are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred
advertising costs of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation Expense
The
Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense within the operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related
to the fair value of employee stock-based awards ratably over the vesting period and only for awards expected to vest. Estimated forfeiture
rates are based on historical data and are periodically reassessed.
Compensation
cost is based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of units granted and the grant date
price of common stock.
Income
taxes
We
account for income taxes by recognizing the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We perform periodic evaluations of recorded
tax assets and liabilities and maintain a valuation allowance, if considered necessary based on whether they are more likely than not
to be realized. The determination of taxes payable for the current year includes estimates. We believe that we have appropriate support
for the income tax positions taken, and to be taken, on our tax returns and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all
open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each
matter. No reserves for an uncertain income tax position have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. The Company’s
tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2021 through 2025 remain subject to examination by their major tax jurisdictions.
- 14 -
Net
loss per share
Basic
net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares by the effective net exercise or conversion of all dilutive
securities. Due to the net loss in 2025 and 2024, outstanding stock options amounting to 15,373,243 and 8,647,984 , respectively, outstanding
warrants of 6,945,400 and 5,945,400 , respectively, and outstanding restricted share units of 553,439 and nil , respectively, were anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive
loss
Comprehensive
loss is comprised of net loss and translation adjustments. We do not provide income taxes on currency translation adjustments, as the
historical earnings from our Canadian subsidiary is considered to be indefinitely reinvested.
Seasonality
Our
sales are seasonal and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. We historically have generated a
greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Sales may fluctuate materially on a quarter
to quarter basis or an annual basis when we launch a new product or fill the “pipeline” of a new distribution partner or
a large retail partner. Sales results may also fluctuate based on the number of SKUs selected or removed by our distributors and retail
partners through the normal course of serving consumers in the dynamic, trend-oriented beverage industry. As a result, management believes
that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication
of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09:
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance requires entities to provide more detailed disclosures
about income tax expenses (or benefits), including components of the expense (or benefit) and the nature of significant reconciling items.
Entities must also disclose information about unrecognized tax benefits, including a tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances
of unrecognized tax benefits, and details about valuation allowances, including the nature and amount of valuation allowances recorded
and released during the period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s

Discontinued Operations
As
disclosed in Note 1, on June 19, 2025 (the “Date of Disposition”), the Company entered into the SPA to sell of all issued
and outstanding equity interests in its cannabis beverage subsidiaries (the “Cannabis Subsidiaries”) pursuant to a share
purchase agreement, as amended, with MJ Reg and discontinued the Cannabis-Derived (THC) Beverage. Subsequent to the transaction, the
Company’s former VP of Operations was appointed as the CEO of MJ Reg.
As
disclosed in Note 1, on June 19, 2025 (the “Date of Disposition”), the Company entered into the SPA with its cannabis beverage
subsidiaries (the “Cannabis Subsidiaries”) and the MJ Reg pursuant to which, on the Date of Disposition, the MJ Reg purchased
all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Cannabis Subsidiaries from the Company for the Share Purchase Price of $ 3.0 million promissory
notes and inventory for approximately $ 0.06 million as set forth in the SPA (the “Sale Transaction”). The Share Purchase
Price was paid as follows:
●
A
$ 3.0 million promissory note, payable as follows:
◌
$ 0.5 million at the Date of Disposition
(received);
◌
$ 0.5 million due on June 27, 2025 (received);

◌
$ 0.75 million due on June 19, 2027; and
◌
$ 0.75 million due on June 19, 2028.
The
promissory note accrues interest at the lower of 3 % per annum and the lowest amount permitted by law; provided, however, if MJ Reg satisfies
its obligations under the promissory note, in full, pursuant to the terms thereof, any interest accrued pursuant to the promissory note
shall be waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the promissory note), the outstanding
principal amount of the promissory note together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall accrue interest at a rate of 10 %
per annum. The promissory note shall mature upon the earlier of (i) June 19, 2028 and (ii) in the event of prepayment of the promissory
note, the date that the principal amount of the promissory note together with the interest accrued thereon is paid in full by MJ Reg.
On
June 19, 2025 (the “License Effective Date”), in connection with the SPA, the Company entered into a trademark license agreement
(the “License Agreement”) with MJ Holdings pursuant to which the Company granted MJ Holdings an exclusive, freely-usable
and non-transferable, fully sublicensable license to use the Licensed IP (as defined in the License Agreement) during the term of such
agreement in connection with the manufacture, sale, distribution, advertising, and promotion of all current and future products (the
“Licensed Products”) each consisting of a mutually agreed upon composition, formula, recipe, flavor necessary for the Licensed
Products and labeling, container size, and packaging, as applicable, to be made available by MJ Holdings for sale on-site at MJ Holdings’
places of business and/or by means of other distributors of MJ Holdings globally, including in any country or jurisdiction where the
sale, marketing, and distribution of the Licensed Products is lawful. Pursuant to the License Agreement, MJ Holdings shall retain the
exclusive right to any consumable product containing an emulsion derived from the cannabis plant with a THC concentration greater than
0.3 % by dry weight and any Licensed IP in connection therewith. Furthermore, MJ Holdings shall own all Licensee Modified Formulas (as
defined in the License Agreement) and such Licensee Modified Formulas may be incorporated and/or otherwise used in connection with a
Licensed Product during the term of such agreement and at any time thereafter; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled to license
the Licensee Modified Formulas on mutually agreeable terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall maintain
exclusive rights to products containing Hemp (as defined in the SPA). Pursuant to the License Agreement, MJ Holdings shall pay the Company
$ 0.15 million on the one year anniversary of the License Effective Date and $ 0.255 million on each subsequent anniversary of the License
Effective Date (the “Licensing Fee”). The Licensing Fee shall be fixed and non-adjustable during the term of the License.
Pursuant
to ASC 820, the Company utilized its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11.6 % to discount future cash flows and determined the
fair values as follows:
●
Promissory Note: $ 2.59 million
●

Note receivable
As
disclosed in Note 2, in connection with the Sale Transaction, the Company issued a promissory note with an aggregate principal amount
of $ 3.0 million. The note is payable in five installments as follows:
●
$ 0.5 million at the Date
of Disposition (received);
●
$ 0.5 million due on June
27, 2025 (received);
●
$ 0.5 million due on June

●
$ 0.75 million due on June
19, 2028.
The
promissory note accrues interest at the lower of 3 % per annum and the lowest amount permitted by law; provided, however, if MJ Reg satisfies
its obligations under the promissory note, in full, pursuant to the terms thereof, any interest accrued pursuant to the promissory note
shall be waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the promissory note), the outstanding
principal amount of the promissory note together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall accrue interest at a rate of 10 %
per annum. The promissory note shall mature upon the earlier of (i) June 19, 2028 and (ii) in the event of prepayment of the promissory
note, the date that the principal amount of the promissory note together with the interest accrued thereon is paid in full by MJ Reg.
In
accordance with ASC 820, the Company applied its weighted average cost of capital of 11.6 % to discount the future cash flows associated
with the note and determined the initial fair value to be $ 2.59 million. The resulting discount is being amortized over the term of the
note using the effective interest method.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 0.09 million in finance income related to the amortization of the discount.
As
of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the promissory note was $ 1.68 million, of which $ 0.50 million was classified as current.
On
January 16, 2026, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Debt Agreement with Two Shores Capital Corp. (“Two Shores”)
and MJ Reg. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company assigned to Two Shores all of its rights, title, and interest in the promissory note
with an outstanding principal balance of $ 2.0 million.
As
consideration for the assignment, the Company received cash proceeds of $ 1.4 million. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company transferred
to Two Shores all rights and obligations associated with the promissory note, including the right to receive all future payments. MJ
Reg. consented to the assignment and confirmed that the outstanding principal amount of the promissory note was $ 2.0 million as of January
16, 2026.
In
connection with the transaction, the Company issued to Two Shores 550,000 common stock warrants. Each warrant is exercisable for 1 one
share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.40 per share and expires on January 16, 2029 .
As
a result of the assignment, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the note receivable to $ 1.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and
recognized a loss on sale of receivables of $ 0.28 million.

Licensing fees receivable
As
disclosed in Note 2, in connection with the Sale Transaction, the Company entered into the License Agreement with MJ Holdings pursuant
to which the Company granted MJ Holdings an exclusive, freely-usable and non-transferable, fully sublicensable license to use the Licensed
IP (as defined in the License Agreement) during the term of such agreement in connection with the manufacture, sale, distribution, advertising,
and promotion of all current and future products (the “Licensed Products”) each consisting of a mutually agreed upon composition,
formula, recipe, flavor necessary for the Licensed Products and labeling, container size, and packaging, as applicable, to be made available
by MJ Holdings for sale on-site at MJ Holdings’ places of business and/or by means of other distributors of MJ Holdings globally,
including in any country or jurisdiction where the sale, marketing, and distribution of the Licensed Products is lawful. Pursuant to
the License Agreement, MJ Holdings shall retain the exclusive right to any consumable product containing an emulsion derived from the
cannabis plant with a THC concentration greater than 0.3 % by dry weight and any Licensed IP in connection therewith. Furthermore, MJ
Holdings shall own all Licensee Modified Formulas (as defined in the License Agreement) and such Licensee Modified Formulas may be incorporated
and/or otherwise used in connection with a Licensed Product during the term of such agreement and at any time thereafter; provided, however,
the Company shall be entitled to license the Licensee Modified Formulas on mutually agreeable terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall maintain exclusive rights to products containing Hemp (as defined in the SPA). Pursuant to the License Agreement,
MJ Holdings shall pay the Company $ 0.15 million on the one-year anniversary of the License Effective Date and $ 0.255 million on each
subsequent anniversary of the License Effective Date (the “Licensing Fee”). The Licensing Fee shall be fixed and non-adjustable
during the term of the License.
In
accordance with ASC 820, the Company utilized its weighted average cost of capital of 11.6 % to discount the expected future cash flows
associated with the Licensing Fee and determined the initial fair value of the License Agreement to be $ 1.70 million. The resulting discount
is being amortized over the term of the License Agreement using the effective interest method.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 0.08 million in licensing revenue and $ 0.01 million in finance income related
to the amortization of the discount.
As
of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the License Agreement receivable was $ 1.8 million, of which $ 0.15 million was classified
as current.

Revolving Credit Facility and Loans
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Revolving Financing and Assignment Agreement (the “RFAA”) which
provides a revolving credit facility up to an amount of $ 2,000,000 (the “Total Credit Facility”) with an interest rate equal
to the prime rate plus 3.50 % per annum, with a floor rate of 6.00 %. This facility is intended to meet the working capital needs and general
corporate purposes of the Company.
Under
the RFAA, the Company may draw up to 80 % of the face amount of eligible accounts receivable. The Company is required to pay a commitment
fee of 1.00 % of the Total Credit Facility annually, and a collateral management fee of 0.15 % is assessed monthly on the Total Credit
Facility.
The
RFAA will expire under the following conditions: (a) 36 months from the initial funding date, or (b) 30 days following the execution
of legal documents if the initial funding has not occurred, or (c) May 31, 2024, if neither condition (a) nor (b) applies. The agreement
will automatically renew for additional 36-month periods unless terminated by either party with a minimum of 60 days’ prior written
notice.
The
RFAA includes financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain net assets, excluding intangible assets and amounts outstanding under
the RFAA, in excess of $ 3.5 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with this financial covenant.
The
revolving credit facility is secured by a continuing security interest in the Company’s personal property and fixtures, including
accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and intellectual property.
- 20 -
On
February 24, 2025, the Company made a payment of $ 0.1 million to fully repay the Total Credit Facility and formally terminated the RFAA.
Following this payment, the Company was released from any further liabilities under the terms of the RFAA.
As
of December 31, 2025, the balance of the RFAA was $ nil (December 31, 2024 – $ 0.3 million).
On
February 5, 2025, the Company, through its Subsidiary, entered into a Loan Agreement with Two Shores (the “2Shores Loan Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Subsidiary may borrow up to an aggregate maximum amount of $ 5.0 million which was amended to $ 10.0 million, subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On December 1, 2025, the Loan Agreement was amended to increase the maximum borrowing capacity
to $ 10.0 million. Advances under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate of 13.75 % per annum. All present and future obligations of
the Subsidiary under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all assets of the Company, the Subsidiary,
and the Company’s other U.S. subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement, including
accrued interest, was approximately $ 3.02 million. The Company is obligated to provide periodic financial reporting, reporting of its
inventory and accounts receivable listings, maintenance of its subsidiaries in good legal standing, maintenance of its insurance policies
and payments of its tax obligations.
In
connection with the Loan Agreement with Two Shores Capital Corp., the Company issued total 1,000,000 warrants to Two Shores Capital Corp.,
exercisable at a price of $ 0.45 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value
of the warrants at $ 65,215 on the issuance date. This amount was recognized as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
The valuation of the warrants was performed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying the following weighted-average assumptions:

11.
Membership Agreement Obligation
On
September 1, 2022, the Company entered into a membership and licensing agreement with Saltbox Inc. that provides the Company with access
to a shared office (“Suite”) and warehouse facility located in Seattle, Washington. The agreement is structured as a revocable
license granting access to the Suite and warehouse space. The relationship between Saltbox Inc. and the Company is that of licensor and
licensee only, and not landlord-tenant or lessor-lessee. The agreement does not convey any right, title, interest, easement, or lien
in Saltbox Inc.’s business, the Suite, the premises, or any related assets, and is not considered a lease for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, no lease liability or right-of-use asset has been recognized in connection with this arrangement.
The
initial term of the agreement was 1 one year and required 12 monthly payments of $ 8,000 . Upon expiration of the initial term, the Company
elected to renew the arrangement on a month-to-month basis at a monthly fee of $ 9,000 . On February 28, 2025, the Company provided notice
of its intent to terminate the month-to-month arrangement after identifying lower-cost facilities.

Shareholders’ Equity
Private
Placement
The
Company issued 7,535,000
units (“Units”) on July 26, 2024, 1,600,000
Units on July 31, 2024, and 1,875,000
Units on August 21, 2024, for total net proceeds of $ 3.6
million. Each Unit is composed of: (i) one
common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common
Share”); and (ii) 0.5 one-half
of one
detachable share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”).
Each whole Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $ 0.50
per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of
issuance. The Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following delivery of a
notice of acceleration to holders of Warrants if, at any time, the closing price of the Common Shares exceeds $ 0.80
for five consecutive trading days. The Warrants were classified
as equity, and the Company recorded their fair value of $ 1
million as part of common shares.
In
connection with the offering, the Company paid Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari”) an aggregate of $ 166,158 in cash commission,
representing 4.0 % of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the offering, and issued Dominari an aggregate of 440,400 warrants as compensation
for Dominari’s services (the “Broker’s Warrants”). For accounting purposes, the Company estimated the fair value
of the Broker’s Warrants at the grant date to be $ 0.1 million, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions
used in the model included a risk-free interest rate of 3.81 %, an expected life of 2 years, an expected volatility of 76 %, and an expected
dividend yield of 0 %. The amount was recognized as share issuance costs.

Omnibus
Equity Incentive Plan
On
March 15, 2022, our Board adopted the 2022 Plan, which became effective upon approval by our shareholders on May 16, 2022. Under the
2022 Plan, the sum of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus (ii) the number of shares of common stock reserved,
but unissued under the 2011 Plan, plus (iii) the number of shares of common stock underlying forfeited awards under the 2011 Plan are
initially available for issuance of awards under the 2022 Plan. Additionally, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
available reserved under the 2022 Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning with the first
January 1 following the effective date of the 2022 Plan and ending with the last January 1 during the initial ten-year term of the 2022
Plan, equal to the lesser of (A) 4% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding (which shall include shares issuable
upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding securities or rights convertible into or exercisable for shares, including without
limitation, preferred stock, warrants and employee options to purchase any shares) on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar
year and (B) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by our Board. The Company may grant incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to participants to acquire
shares of Company common stock under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan will be administered by the plan administrator (as defined in the 2022
Plan).

Restricted stock awards:
Beginning
May 13, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that restricted stock units (RSUs) would be awarded as equity compensation
for non-employee directors, replacing stock options, based on the recommendation of the Compensation and Governance Committee. RSUs vest
incrementally per the award agreement, with certain awards vesting immediately upon a “Change in Control” as defined in the
2022 Plan.
Previously,
from January 1, 2020, through February 15, 2022, non-employee directors received annual non-qualified stock option grants, which vested
on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service. Grants were determined by dividing $ 25,000 by the closing share
price on the grant date. New directors joining the Board before February 15, 2022, received prorated stock option awards under similar
terms. Stock option and RSU awards were governed by the 2011 Plan (prior to the 2022 Plan) and respective grant agreements.
On
December 30, 2022, the Company entered into rescission agreements with certain non-employee directors and its Chief Executive Officer
and President, rescinding and canceling all RSUs granted during 2022, including shares issued upon RSU vesting in August 2022, without
consideration.
On
July 16, 2025, the Company granted 2,213,765 RSUs to members of its Board of Directors. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs
was $ 0.4 million, determined in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under the terms of the award, 50 % of
the RSUs vested immediately upon grant. The remaining 50 % are scheduled to vest in equal installments on September 30, 2025 and December
31, 2025, subject to continued service.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 2,359,819 common shares to settle the vested RSUs.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 553,439 and 699,493 vested RSUs outstanding, respectively. No RSUs remained unvested as
of either December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

c.
Stock-based compensation expense:
Stock-based
compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line attribution method over the employees’ requisite service period. We
recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock options or restricted stock expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated
forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those
estimated by management, additional adjustments to stock-based compensation expense may be required in future periods.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options of $ 1.2 million and $ 0.5 million,
respectively, and related to RSUs of $nil and $nil, respectively. These amounts are expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting
periods.

As
of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $ 0.8 million and $ 0.01 million,
respectively. For stock options exercisable, the aggregate intrinsic value as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was also $ 0.24
million and $ 0.01 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of both outstanding and exercisable stock options is determined as the difference
between the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the balance sheet date and the exercise price of the option.
The
total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $ nil and $ 0.02 million,
respectively. During these periods, the number of options exercised totalled nil and 136,250 , respectively. The Company maintains a policy
of issuing new shares upon the exercise of stock options.

Warrants
Closing
of the Pinestar Gold Inc. - Plan of Arrangement:
On
February 15, 2022, Jones issued an aggregate of 20,000,048 Jones Shares in connection with the completion of the Plan of Arrangement
whereby the outstanding Pinestar Shares were exchanged for newly issued Jones Shares on a one-for-one basis. The Plan of Arrangement
had previously been approved by both Pinestar’s shareholders as well as by the Supreme Court of British Columbia after such court
held a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Plan of Arrangement at which all Pinestar shareholders had the right
to appear.
In
connection with the Plan of Arrangement, Pinestar completed the Pinestar Subscription Receipt Offering for aggregate net proceeds of
$ 7,152,000 , at a price per subscription receipt equal to $ 0.50 . As part of the closing of the Plan of Arrangement, each such subscription
receipt automatically converted into one Pinestar Share and one new common share purchase warrant of Pinestar, which were then immediately
exchanged for Jones Shares and Jones Special Warrants, respectively, in accordance with a 1:1 exchange ratio.
The
issuance of Jones Shares to the holders of Pinestar Shares (including Pinestar Shares received upon the conversion of the subscription
receipts issued in the Pinestar Subscription Receipt Offering) in the Plan of Arrangement was exempt from the registration requirements
under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities
Act, which exempts from the registration requirements under the Securities Act any securities that are issued in exchange for one or
more bona fide outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon
the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have
the right to appear, by any court expressly authorized by law to grant such approval.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024 , Pinestar Warrants in the amount of 974,808 were exercised at the exercise price of $ 0.06 CAD,
for total proceeds of $ 44,000 . As of December 31, 2024, there were no warrants outstanding.

discussed in Note 8, during the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the Loan Agreement with Two Shores Capital Corp., the
Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to Two Shores Capital Corp., exercisable at a price of $ 0.45 per share for a period of three years

for a period of 24 months from the issuance date. Additionally, 440,400 broker’s warrants were issued in connection with private
placements completed during the year ended December 31, 2024.
As
discussed in Note 3, on January 16, 2026, in connection with the Assignment and Assumption of Debt Agreement, the Company issued to Two
Shores 550,000
common stock warrants, each exercisable for 1 one
share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.40

Legal
proceedings
The
California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) issued a cease-and-desist letter to the sale and distribution of Mary Jones
hemp infused sodas in California through Jones Soda’s wholly owned subsidiary Mary Jones Michigan, LLC. The state alleged that
the Company’s products violated California law by failing to properly label the products and that the products contained hemp-derived
THC isolate, which they did not. The Company disputed the CDPH position, however, it voluntarily agreed to cease distribution of its
hemp infused soda in California. While CDPH requested additional information from the Company regarding the status of the recall for
distributed products, the action appeared to be resolved by September 2024. In April 2025, shortly before the statute of limitations
expired for any further action by CDPH relating to Mary Jones sodas, CDPH filed a Complaint, and on June 27, 2025, the CDPH filed an
amended complaint, in Los Angeles Superior Court naming Jones Soda and other businesses who were involved in the sale of infused soda
in California in the spring of 2024. On December 17, 2025, the California Department of Public Health filed a “Notice of Entry
of Dismissal and Proof of Service” and we are waiting for the Judge to grant the dismissal.
The
Company has been served with a lawsuit by a supplier on August 11, 2025 concerning an alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment
in the amount of $ 342,373 . The Company intends to file a counterclaim against the plaintiff for an amount in excess of the damages alleged
in the complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss and on October 27, 2025, the United States Central District Court of California,
the Court dismissed the action without prejudice.
We
are or may be involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings
involving employee claims, contract disputes, product liability, other general liability claims and government and regulatory actions,
as well as trademark, copyright, and related claims and legal actions. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate disposition of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We
continue to experience significant losses in our U.S. operations that are material to our decision to maintain a full valuation allowance
against our net U.S. deferred tax assets. This is due to the fact that the relevant accounting guidance puts more weight on the negative
objective evidence of cumulative losses in recent years than the positive subjective evidence of future projections of pretax income.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance increased by $ 0.7 , and $ 0.5 , respectively.
We
continually analyze the realizability of our deferred tax assets, but we reasonably expect to continue to record a full valuation allowance
on future U.S tax benefits until we sustain an appropriate level of taxable income through improved U.S. operations and tax planning
strategies.

At
December 31, 2025, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $ 54,865,311 and $ 21,438,990 respectively,
which expire at various times commencing 2026. We also had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes
of $ 28,433,173 , and $ 3,094,477 respectively, that may be carried forward indefinitely. Net operating loss carryforwards may be subject
to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue code.
There
are no uncertain tax positions to recognize as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
We
are no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination for tax years ending before 2021, to state examinations before 2020, or to foreign
examinations before 2020.
However,
to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses or tax credits
were generated and carried forward and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating losses or credit carryforward. As of December
31, 2025, we were not under examination by a tax authority. The net operating losses for prior years are subject to adjustment under
examination to the extent they remain unutilized in an open year.

Segment Information
Subsequent
to the disposition of the Cannabis-Derived (THC) Beverages segment, the Company’s only operating and reportable segment is beverages.
This segment includes both Jones Soda’s traditional craft sodas, known for their unique flavors, pure cane sugar formulation, and
consumer-driven branding as well as our modern soda’s such as Pop Jones, Fiesta Jones and hemp derived products such as HD9. The
