F-3 Table of Contents Valuation of inventory and inventory reserves As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements, the Company has inventories, net totaled to approximately $3.82 million as of June 30, 2022. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventory for each accounting period and records any potential adjustments needed for the reserves. Auditing management’s estimates of the net realizable value of inventories, including inventory reserves was highly judgmental due to the degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the inventory reserves which are based on prevailing circumstances and judgment for consideration of current events, such as economic conditions, that may affect inventory. To test the estimates for the net realizable value of inventories, including inventory reserves, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the reasonableness of the inputs used in management’s inventory reserve calculation and analyzing the reserve calculations to determine whether management identified any evidence of slow-moving inventory or any obsolescence due to existing and potential changes in marketability which may impact the reserves. /s/ Liggett & Webb, P.A.

F-8 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS Luvu Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or Luvu) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999. References to the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”). All operations of the Company are currently conducted by OneUp Innovations, Inc. The Company is an Atlanta, Georgia based designer, manufacturer and marketer of a portfolio of consumer lifestyle brands including: Liberator ® , a brand category of iconic products for enhancing sexual performance; Avana ® inclined bed therapy products, assistive in relieving medical conditions associated with acid reflux, surgery recovery and chronic pain; and Jaxx ® , a diverse range of casual fashion daybeds, sofas and beanbags made from polyurethane foam and repurposed polyurethane foam trim. These products are sold through the Company’s websites, online mass merchants and retail stores worldwide. Many of our products are offered flat-packed and either roll or vacuum compressed to save on shipping and reduce our carbon footprint. Sales are generated through internet and print advertisements. We have a diversified customer base with only one customer accounting for 10 % or more of consolidated net sales in the current and prior fiscal year and no particular concentration of credit risk in one economic sector. Foreign operations and foreign net sales are not material. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp and Foam Labs. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include estimates of: income taxes; tax valuation reserves; allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation and reserves, share-based compensation; and useful lives for depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Revenue Recognition We record revenue based on the five-step model which includes: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. Substantially all of our revenue is generated by fulfilling orders for the purchase of manufactured products and product purchased for resale to retailers, wholesalers, or direct to consumers via online channels, with each order considered to be a distinct performance obligation. These orders may be formal purchase orders, verbal phone orders, e-mail orders or orders received online. Shipping and handling activities for which we are responsible under the terms and conditions of the order are not accounted for as performance obligations but as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill our promise to transfer the goods and are expensed when revenue is recognized. The impact of this policy election is insignificant as it aligns with our current practice. F-9 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 Revenue is measured as the net amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilling a performance obligation. We have elected to exclude sales, use and similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The impact of this policy election is insignificant, as it aligns with our current practice. The amount of consideration expected to be received and revenue recognized includes estimates of variable consideration, which includes costs for trade promotion programs, coupons, returns and early payment discounts. Such estimates are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. We review and update these estimates at the end of each reporting period and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified. In assessing whether collection of consideration from a customer is probable, we consider the customer's ability and intent to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. Payment of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer agreement, typically 30 days from the invoice date, which occurs on the date of transfer of control of the products to the customer. Revenue is recognized at the point in time that control of the ordered products is transferred to the customer. Generally, this occurs when the product is delivered, or in some cases, picked up from one of our distribution centers by the customer. Deferred revenues Deferred revenues are recorded when the Company has received consideration (i.e. advance payment) before satisfying its performance obligations. Deferred revenues primarily relate to gift cards purchased, but not used, prior to the end of the fiscal period. Our total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $ 18,654 and $ 18,118 , respectively, and was included in “Other accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes raw material, labor, manufacturing overhead, and royalty expense. Shipping and Handling Costs We include fees earned on the shipment of our products to customers in sales and include costs incurred on the shipment of product to customers in costs of goods sold. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specifically identified nonpaying accounts and other currently available evidence. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly with a focus on significant individual past due balances over 90 days. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The following is a summary of Accounts Receivable as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 (in thousands) Accounts receivable $ 1,107 $ 1,114 Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Allowance for discounts and returns ( 55 ) ( 6 ) Total accounts receivable, net $ 1,051 $ 1,107 F-10 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Inventories and Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin. Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation and overhead. The company establishes allowances for excess and obsolete inventory, based on prevailing circumstances and judgment for consideration of current events, such as economic conditions, that may affect inventory. The reserve required to record inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value may be adjusted in response to changing conditions. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash accounts with banks located in Georgia. The total cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 per bank. The Company had cash balances on deposit at June 30, 2023 and 2022 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $ 880,083 and $ 717,316 , respectively. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe. During 2023, we purchased 33 % of total inventory purchases from one vendor. During 2022, we purchased 34 % of total inventory purchases from one vendor. As of June 30, 2023, two of the Company’s customers represent 35 % and 12 % of the total accounts receivables, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, two of the Company’s customers represent 21 % and 13 % of the total accounts receivable, respectively. Sales to (and through) Amazon accounted for 36 % and 31 % of our net sales during each of the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments At June 30, 2023 and 2022, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other long-term debt. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments. The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: · Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; · Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and · Level 3 : Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. F-11 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: A. Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. B. Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method. C. Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period when the advertisements are first aired or distributed to the public. Prepaid advertising (included in prepaid expenses) was $ 0 at June 30, 2023 and $ 1,050 at June 30, 2022. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 790,757 and $ 574,146 , respectively. Which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Research and Development Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development (included in general and administrative expense) totaled $ 134,624 for the year ended June 30, 2023 and $ 117,079 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated service lives for financial reporting purposes of 2 - 10 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently. Operating Leases On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord on a new lease for the current facilities for six years and two months, beginning January 1, 2021. The new lease includes two months of rent abatement totaling $ 103,230 . Under the new lease, the monthly rent on the facility is $ 51,615 with annual escalations of 3 % with the final two months of rent at $ 61,605 . In addition, the Company will pay the landlord a 2 % property management fee. The rent expense for the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $ 652,752 and $ 652,752 respectively. Which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. F-12 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Under ASC 842, which was adopted July 1, 2019, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Most leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company elected not to recognize leases with a term less than one year on its balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and their corresponding lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2016-02, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.) Then the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The lease component results in an operating right-of-use asset being recorded on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis as lease expense. Under prior guidance ASC 840, rent expense and lease incentives from operating leases were recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between rent expense recognized and rental payments was recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in NOTE 13 - Commitments and Contingencies . Sales Channel Information We have identified three reportable sales channels: Direct, Wholesale and Other . Direct includes product sales through our five e-commerce sites. Wholesale includes Liberator, Jaxx, and Avana branded products sold to distributors and retailers, purchased products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business. Other consists principally of shipping and handling fees and costs derived from our Direct business and fulfillment service fees. The following is a summary of sales results for the Direct, Wholesale , and Other channels. Year Ended June 30, 2023 Year Ended June 30, 2022 % Change (in thousands) Net Sales by Channel: Direct $ 8,255 $ 7,136 16 % Wholesale 20,260 18,546 9 % Other 704 661 6 % Total Net Sales $ 29,219 $ 26,343 11 % F-13 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 2.

Net Income Per Share In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The total potential dilutive securities as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: 2023 2022 Convertible Preferred Stock 4,300,000 4,300,000 Stock options – 2015 Plan 1,400,000 1,975,000 Total 5,700,000 6,275,000 Income Taxes We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets we have determined won’t be utilized. At June 30, 2023, we has a deferred tax asset of $ 10 thousands we carried a valuation allowance of $ 1.1 million against our remaining net deferred tax assets. Stock Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and restricted stock award at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS We follow FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, regarding impairment of our other long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment). Our policy is to assess our long-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of a long-lived asset. Assets to be disposed of and related liabilities would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets to be disposed of would be reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and would not be depreciated. There was no impairment as of June 30, 2023 or 2022.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Options At June 30, 2023, the Company had the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which is stockholder-approved and under which 1,700,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan until that Plan terminates on August 31, 2025. Under the 2015 Plan, eligible employees and certain independent consultants may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares issuable under the 2015 Plan will either be shares of the Company’s authorized but previously unissued common stock or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. As of June 30, 2023, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 300,000 . A summary of option activity under the Company’s stock plan for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented below: Option Activity Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at June 30, 2021 2,500,000 $ 0.04 1.9 years $ 974,300 Granted 900,000 $ 0.18 4.8 years Exercised ( 1,175,000 ) $ 0.03 Forfeited or Expired ( 250,000 ) $ 0.03 Outstanding at June 30, 2022 1,975,000 $ 0.10 3 .0 years $ 107,500 Granted - $ - Exercised ( 525,000 ) $ 0.03 Forfeited or Expired ( 50,000 ) $ 0.03 Outstanding at June 30, 2023 1,400,000 $ 0.14 3 .0 years $ 29,000 Exercisable at June 30, 2023 487,500 $ 0.09 2.7 years $ 1,250 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before applicable income taxes and represents the excess amount over the exercise price optionees would have received if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $ 0.10 , $ 0.14 , and $ 0.43 at June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2023 and 900,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2022. During the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 the Company’s proceeds from stock options exercise under 2015 Plan were $ 2,100 and $ 3,000 respectively. The range of fair value assumptions related to options granted during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: 2023 2022 Exercise Price: $ - $ 0.16 - $ 0.30 Volatility: - 500 % - 519 % Risk Free Rate: - 0.65 % - 2.90 % Vesting Period: - 4 years Forfeiture Rate: - 0 % Expected Life: - 4.1 years Dividend Rate: - 0 % F-22 Table of Contents Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2023 and 2022 NOTE 15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued) The following table summarizes the weighted average characteristics of outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2023: Outstanding Options Exercisable Options Exercise Prices Number of Shares Remaining Life (Years) Weighted Average Price Number of Shares Weighted Average Price 0.01 to 0.03 400,000 1.3 $ 0.03 275,000 $ 0.03 0.05 — — $ — — — 0.15 to 0.20 950,000 2.7 $ 0.17 200,000 $ 0.16 0.30 50,000 3.1 $ 0.30 12,500 $ 0.30 Total stock options 1,400,000 2.3 $ 0.14 487,500 $ 0.09 We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period. All stock option grants made under the Plan were at exercise prices no less than the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Options under the Plan were determined by the board of directors in accordance with the provisions of the plan. The terms of each option grant include vesting, exercise, and other conditions are set forth in a Stock Option Agreement evidencing each grant. No option can have a life in excess of ten (10) years. The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model requires various assumptions, including a risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the options, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, and the expected dividend yield. Compensation expense for employee stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting term. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all unvested stock options was $ 117,125 which is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. In determining the grant date fair value of option awards under the equity incentive plans, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Based upon limited option exercise history, the Company has generally used the “simplified” method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 to estimate the expected life of stock option grants. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price on OTCQB best represents the expected volatility over the estimated life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curve rates at the date of grant corresponding to the expected life of the stock option. An assumed dividend yield of zero reflects the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intentions to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the effective U.S. federal income tax rate to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to state income taxes are not material. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company believed it was more likely than not that future tax benefits from all future net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets would not be realizable through generation of future taxable income; therefore, they were partially reserved. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023 and 2022 are approximately as follows: 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Inventory reserves $ 65 46 Allowance for doubtful accounts 5 2 Stock-based compensation 41 106 Net operating loss carry-forwards 1,041 1,233 Total gross deferred tax assets 1,152 1,387 Valuation allowance ( 1,059 ) ( 1,387 ) Book to tax depreciation difference - Liability ( 83 ) — Net deferred tax assets $ 10 $ - The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 25% to pretax (income) loss from operations for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 due to the following: 2023 2022 Tax expense $ 306 $ 156 Permanent differences and change in tax rate estimate 1 — Valuation (allowance) ( 317 ) ( 156 ) Net tax benefit $ ( 10 ) $ — At June 30, 2023, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $ 4.0 million that may be offset against future taxable income. During 2023 and 2022, the total change in the valuation allowance was approximately $ 317,000 and $ 156,000 , respectively. The majority of the Company’s NOL’Sbegin to expire in the year 2030.
