Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in an annual report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among other items, the following: allowance for credit 7 Table of Contents losses, the fair value of stock-based compensation, inventory reserves, allocation of the purchase price of the acquisition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and estimates for unrealized returns, discounts, and other variable considerations that are netted against revenue. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks and the potential risk of business failure. The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at one financial institution, which at October 31, 2025, exceeded insured amounts by approximately $ 16.7 million. The Company believes it mitigates such risk by having this cash and cash equivalents held by a major financial institution. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. Estimated product returns are immaterial. Management assesses the collectability of outstanding customer invoices and maintains an allowance resulting from the expected non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this allowance for credit losses, management considers factors such as historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, specific customer risk, and current and expected general economic conditions. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. The allowance for credit losses was approximately $ 97 thousand as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company did not write off any accounts deemed uncollectible. Inventories The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is defined as estimated selling price less costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The cost of inventory is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The cost of finished goods inventories includes ingredients, direct labor, freight-in for ingredients, and indirect production and overhead costs. The Company monitors its inventory to identify excess or obsolete items on hand. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations, and purchase orders. In addition, and as necessary, specific reserves for future known or anticipated events may be established. As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the reserve for obsolete inventory was approximately $ 264 thousand and $ 95 thousand, respectively. Inventories by major category are as follows (in thousands): October 31, 2025 January 31, 2025 Raw materials and packaging $ 3,404 $ 1,654 Work in process 951 723 Finished goods 6,005 2,440 Total $ 10,360 $ 4,817 8 Table of Contents Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation expense are: Machinery and equipment 2 - 15 years Furniture and fixtures 3 - 10 years Leasehold improvements * (*) Amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever period is shorter. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company reviews the recoverability of property, plant and equipment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset class may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment could include, among other factors, significant changes in the business environment, the planned closure of a facility, or deterioration in operating cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not substantially improve or extend the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately, if conditions indicate that an impairment could exist. The Company evaluates qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value and whether it is necessary to perform goodwill impairment testing. As of October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, there were no impairment losses recognized for goodwill. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets consist of trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible asset lives for financial statement reporting of amortization are: Tradenames and trademarks 3 years Customer relationships 4 – 5 years Fair Value of Financial Instruments 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 at the measurement date. 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. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. The interest rate on the Company’s line of credit and notes payable has a variable component, which is reflective of the market for such instruments at any given date, and as such the carrying value of the debt approximates its fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; 9 Table of Contents Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands): October 31, 2025 January 31, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents $ 17,571 $ — $ — $ 17,571 $ 6,842 $ — $ — $ 6,842 Total $ 17,571 $ — $ — $ 17,571 $ 6,842 $ — $ — $ 6,842 Business Combination The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, " Business Combinations " in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to recognizing identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangible assets of acquired businesses, at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred, and the expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, "Acquisition," for additional information. Research and Development Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $ 80 thousand and $ 208 thousand for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively compared to $ 155 thousand and $ 352 thousand for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company’s sales are primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, and the promised goods have been transferred. Control transfers when the product is shipped or delivered based upon applicable shipping terms. For each contract, the Company considers the transfer of product to be the performance obligation. Although some payment terms may be extended, generally the Company’s payment terms are approximately 15-30 days. Accordingly, there are no significant financing components to consider when determining the transaction price. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company promotes its products with trade incentives and promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. The trade incentives and promotions are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers at the end of the period. The Company derives these estimates based on historical experience. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the trade incentives and promotions. The Company’s contracts are all short-term in nature; therefore, there are no unsatisfied performance obligations requiring disclosure as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025. 10 Table of Contents Reductions in the transaction price attributable to items such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Gross Sales $ 48,273 $ 32,333 Less: Trade Incentives and Promotions 1,004 810 Net Sales $ 47,269 $ 31,523 For the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Gross Sales $ 121,780 $ 91,435 Less: Trade Incentives and Promotions 4,053 1,692 Net Sales $ 117,727 $ 89,743 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The following table disaggregates gross revenue by significant geographic area for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Northeast $ 17,922 $ 8,277 Southeast 10,799 8,763 Midwest 9,874 7,049 West 9,678 8,244 Total gross sales $ 48,273 $ 32,333 For the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Northeast $ 36,518 $ 26,534 Southeast 28,504 24,470 Midwest 29,849 19,201 West 26,909 21,230 Total gross sales $ 121,780 $ 91,435 Costs of Sales Costs of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Advertising Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses were $ 756 thousand and $ 2.3 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $ 663 thousand and $ 1.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 . St ock-Based Compensation The Company provides compensation benefits in the form of performance stock units, restricted stock units, stock options, and warrants. The cost of the stock-based compensation is recorded at fair value on the date of grant and expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the requisite service period. The Company has granted performance awards in the form of Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") to certain employees. Each PSU award entitles the participant to earn shares of common stock upon the attainment of certain market conditions and/or certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. The recognition of the compensation expense for 11 Table of Contents the performance stock awards is based upon the probable outcome of the market condition and/or performance conditions and is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. To determine the value of PSUs with market conditions for stock-based compensation purposes, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The Company's performance against the defined goals is reevaluated on a quarterly basis throughout the performance period and the recognition of the compensation expense is adjusted for subsequent changes in the estimated or actual outcome. The Company values stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of stock-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. The Company has granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") that entitle the participant to earn shares of common stock as long as they continuously provide service to the Company through a given date. The Company values RSUs by multiplying the underlying shares of common stock by the closing stock price on the date of the grant, and the related expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the awards. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Earnings Per Share Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which is increased by the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued. However, if the effect of any additional securities is anti-dilutive (i.e., resulting in a higher net income per share or lower net loss per share), they are excluded from the dilutive net income computation. The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock is calculated using the treasury stock method. 12 Table of Contents The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income per common share (in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Numerator: Net income $ 540 $ 410 Effect of dilutive securities: — — Diluted net income 540 410 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 39,630 37,522 Dilutive securities (a): Restricted stock 204 266 Performance stock units 1,990 1,600 Options 36 54 Weighted average common shares outstanding and assumed conversion – diluted 41,860 39,442 Basic net income per common share $ 0.01 $ 0.01 Diluted net income per common share $ 0.01 $ 0.01 (a) – Anti-dilutive securities excluded — — 13 Table of Contents For the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2025 October 31, 2024 Numerator: Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 3,054 $ 2,111 Effect of dilutive securities: — — Diluted net income 3,054 2,111 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 38,313 37,373 Dilutive securities (a): Restricted stock 214 238 Options 29 50 Performance stock awards 1,990 1,600 Weighted average common shares outstanding and assumed conversion – diluted 40,546 39,261 Basic net income per common share $ 0.08 $ 0.06 Diluted net income per common share $ 0.08 $ 0.05 (a) – Anti-dilutive securities excluded — — Income Taxes Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, “ Accounting for Income Taxes. ” A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $ 625 thousand and $ 258 thousand, respectively, which is included in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Differences from the statutory rate primarily relate to state taxes. As of October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2025, the net deferred tax asset was approximately $ 625 thousand and $ 258 thousand, respectively. In assessing the realization 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 future generation of taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. There was no valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2025 or January 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryforward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, but not limited to, the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, the introduction of new Section 174A, permitting immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, and the expansion of Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA, and an estimate of the impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated financial statements is not yet available. Note 14 - Segment Information For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 the Company was managed as a single operating segment. The Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance, as well as for making strategic operational decisions and managing the organization. As such, the Company has one reportable segment. Additionally, all of the Company’s assets are maintained in the United States.
