F- 4 REED’S, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Reed’s, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2026. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company began an expansion into new geographic markets in the Asia Pacific region. The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary Reed’s (Asia) Limited (BVI). Reed’s (Asia) Limited subsequently formed five additional wholly owned subsidiaries, Reed’s (Hong Kong) Limited, Reed’s (Japan) Limited, Jiangzhi Beverage (Hainan) Co. Limited, Reed’s Beverages (Singapore) PTE Limited, and Shenshen Jiangzi Beverage Co. Limited. These subsidiaries are an early part of the Company’s strategic expansion in the Asia Pacific region. The Company expects continued investment in its Asia Pacific growth initiative. Reed’s (Asia) Limited did not generate material sales in the period ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Liquidity For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $ 6,464 and used cash in operations of $ 5,844 . Cash used in operations was primarily from the Company’s operating losses, working capital, and investment in strategic growth initiatives. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $ 4,580 and no remaining availability under the Company’s Senior Secured Loan. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern , the Company’s management has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying financial statements were issued. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, management expects that the Company’s existing cash of $ 4,580 will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Historically, the Company has financed its operations through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, public and private issuance of common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt instruments, term loans and credit lines from financial institutions. Management expects that the Company’s existing cash of $ 4,580 , cash generated from operations, and access to committed financing will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating plan, which was approved by the board of directors in February 2026, for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements; however, if the Company’s management and board of directors approve additional growth initiatives and related investment in human resources, working capital, new geographic markets, information technology, and other uses of cash, the Company may require additional funding. F- 5 To alleviate any funding considerations, management periodically evaluates various funding alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, strategic transactions, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. As the Company seeks additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, the Company’s performance and investor sentiment with respect to the Company and its industry. The Company is also continuing to take actions to improve the Company’s operating performance and cash generated from operations, including product portfolio optimization, implementing strategies to increase sales, streamlining operations, improving supply chains, negotiating equitable vendor contracts, and managing product price architecture. However, the Company may be unsuccessful in executing these actions in a timely manner or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary or otherwise improve its operating performance or generation of cash from operations, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail certain of its operations until such time as additional capital becomes available. Recent Trends - Market Conditions Inflation, actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation, fluctuations in energy prices, and the potential impacts of tariffs, trade tensions and geopolitical events create uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and may impact the Company’s business in future periods. The Company has experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as inflation of raw materials, logistics and labor costs due to availability constraints and high demand. Although the Company regularly monitors vendors in its supply chain, and uses alternative suppliers when necessary and available, supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in the Company’s ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture its products and adversely affect its operations. Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reed’s Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Reed’s (Asia) Limited (BVI). Reed’s (Asia) Limited subsequently formed five additional wholly owned subsidiaries, Reed’s (Hong Kong) Limited, Reed’s (Japan) Limited, Jiangzhi Beverage (Hainan) Co. Limited, Reed’s Beverages (Singapore) PTE Limited, and Shenshen Jiangzi Beverage Co. Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. F- 6 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for credit loss reserves for accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to the Company’s customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from the Company’s facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. All of the Company’s products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. The Company does not allow for returns, except for damaged products when the damage occurred pre-fulfillment. Damaged product returns have historically been insignificant. Because of this, the stand-alone nature of the Company’s products, and the Company’s assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for its sales contracts, the Company does not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. The Company assesses its contracts and the reasonableness of its conclusions on a quarterly basis. Loss per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an antidilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following: Schedule of Potentially Dilutive Securities March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 Warrants 2,963,215 91,549 Options 25,191 54,034 Common stock equivalent of Series A Convertible Preferred stock 125 125 Total 2,988,531 145,708 Anti-dilutive Securities 2,988,531 145,708 Stock Compensation Expense The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. F- 7 The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expense. Advertising costs aggregated $ 311 and $ 33 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Concentrations Net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for 23 %, 14 %, and 11 % of net sales, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for 21 %, 17 %, and 17 % of net sales, respectively. No other customers exceeded 10% of net sales in either period. Accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accounts receivable from four customers which comprised 23 %, 15 %, 14 %, and 12 % of its net accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accounts receivable from three customers which comprised 35 %, 24 % and 11 % of its net accounts receivable, respectively. No other customers exceeded 10% of gross accounts receivable in either period. The Company utilizes co-packers to produce 100% of its products. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company utilized seven separate co-packers for most of its production and bottling of beverage products in the United States. The Company has established relationships with these co-packers, including a former related party (see Note 10). Although there are other co-packers available to the Company, a change in co-packers may cause a delay in the production process, which could adversely affect operating results. Purchases from vendors. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s two largest vendors accounted for approximately 11 % and 10 % of all purchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s largest vendor accounted for approximately 13 % of all purchases. No other vendors exceeded 10% of all purchases in either period. Accounts payable. As of March 31, 2026, two vendors accounted for 11 % and 10 % of total accounts payable. As of December 31, 2025, no vendor accounted for more than 10 % of total accounts payable. No other vendors exceeded 10 % of accounts payable in either period. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Section 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs: Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The Company believes the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term bank loans, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying values of capital lease obligations and long-term financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. F- 8 Foreign Currency Cash denominated in Japanese Yen (JPY) with an aggregate US Dollar equivalent of $394 and $131 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively , was held by the Company in accounts at a financial institution in Japan. The Company used the exchange rate in the following table to translate amounts denominated in non-USD currencies as of the periods noted: Schedule of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 JPY:USD 159.12 156.81 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on its financial statement disclosures. Other recent accounting pronouncements and guidance issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. 3.

Senior Secured Loan The following sets forth amounts in respect of the Company’s senior secured loan: Schedule of Secured Notes Payable March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Senior secured loan $ 9,250 $ 9,250 Deferred financing costs ( 45 ) ( 68 ) Total $ 9,205 $ 9,182 On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with certain funds affiliated with Whitebox Advisors LLC (“Whitebox”), as lenders, and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Loan Agreement provided a revolving credit commitment in an aggregate amount of $ 10,000 (the “Senior Secured Loan”). On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement (i) reduced the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitment to $ 9,250 from $ 10,000 , (ii) changed interest payments on the revolving loan to be due monthly in arrears from quarterly in arrears, (iii) and extended the maturity date to September 30, 2026 . The Senior Secured Loan accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to 8.00 % on the principal amount outstanding, payable monthly in arrears. The Senior Secured Loan also accrues an unused fee at a rate per annum equal to 3.00% on the excess, if any, of the revolving credit commitment over the average principal amount outstanding from time to time during the preceding fiscal quarter, payable monthly in arrears. The Senior Secured Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including all intellectual property. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Secured Loan was $ 9,250 and $ 9,250 , respectively. There was no availability under the Loan Agreement at March 31, 2026. The Amended Loan Agreement includes customary restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to engage in certain types of transactions. Additionally, the agreement contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to meet a certain minimum cash balance and liquidity threshold as of the end of each month. The Company was in compliance with the Amended Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company incurred $ 410 of direct costs associated with the Senior Secured Loan transaction, consisting primarily of broker, bank and legal fees. These costs have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the agreement. The unamortized debt discount balance was $ 68 at December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the amortization of debt discount was $ 23 and $ 95 , respectively. The unamortized debt discount balance was $ 45 at March 31, 2026. Additionally, in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company incurred $ 40 of direct costs, which were expensed. 7. Lease Liabilities During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, lease costs totaled $ 12 and $ 12 , respectively. As of December 31, 2025, operating lease liabilities totaled $ 843 . During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company made aggregate payments of $ 11 towards its operating lease liability. As of March 31, 2026, operating lease liabilities totaled $ 832 , of which $ 33 was current. The Company’s right of use assets are presented as part of property and equipment (see Note 4). As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease terms for an operating lease are 9.67 years. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average discount rate on the operating lease is 8.0 %.

Transactions with California Custom Beverage, LLC, former related party In December 2018, the Company signed a co-packing agreement with California Custom Beverage, LLC’s (“CCB”), an entity owned by a former related party, pursuant to which CCB agreed to produce certain products for the Company for agreed fees. The co-packing agreement, as amended, includes certain provisions for product inputs, shrinkage, and quality assurance. Also beginning in 2019, CCB agreed to pay the Company a 5 % royalty through 2021 on certain private label sales made by CCB. F- 11 In January 2024, CCB filed an arbitration demand alleging claims against the Company for various disputed amounts outstanding. Also in January 2024, the Company filed an arbitration demand alleging claims against CCB for various disputed amounts outstanding. The two cases were consolidated. In February 2026, the arbitrator issued an interim award in favor of the Company. The interim award is expected to become a final award after a final determination of the costs and prejudgment interest is made by the arbitrator. 11. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management evaluates its exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and provides for potential losses on such litigation if the amount of the loss is estimable and the loss is probable. The Company believes that there are no material litigation matters at the current time. Although the results of such litigation matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such claims and proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. 12. Segment Information The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment as a manufacturer of carbonated beverages under Reed’s and Virgil’s brand names. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss). Net income (loss) is used for evaluating financial performance. Significant segment expenses include research and development, salaries, insurance, and stock-based compensation. Operating expenses include all the remaining costs necessary to operate the Company’s business, which primarily include external professional services and other administrative expenses. The following table presents the significant segment expenses and other segment items regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM. Schedule of Segment Information 2026 2025 Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Operating expenses Salaries 1,757 1,056 Insurance 121 128 Stock-based compensation 5 47 Selling and marketing 1,194 1,001 Freight and delivery 869 1,351 Warehousing 251 277 Other operating expenses 2,715 1,284 Total operating expenses $ ( 6,912 ) $ ( 5,144 ) F- 12 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to our United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) results, the following discussion includes EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We present EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts, and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; making compensation decisions; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. The following discussion also includes the use of gross billing, a key performance indicator and metric. Gross billing represents invoiced amounts to distributors and retailers, excluding sales adjustments. Gross billing may include deductions from MSRP or “list price,” where applicable, and excludes promotional costs of generating such sales. Management utilizes gross billing to monitor operating performance of products and salespersons, which performance can be masked by the effect of promotional or other allowances. Management believes that the presentation of gross billing provides a useful measure of Reed’s operating performance. Amounts presented in the discussion below are in thousands, except share and per share amounts. Results of Operations Overview During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued its focus on profitable sales growth, improving gross margin, reducing freight costs, and optimizing selling, general and administrative expenses. The sales growth initiatives include channel expansion, in-store product placements, new product innovation, and improved sales execution. The gross margin enhancement initiatives include product portfolio optimization, equitable supplier negotiations, streamlining co-packer processes, and efficient inventory management. Underpinning these initiatives is a focus on optimizing delivery and handling and selling, general and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company began an expansion into new geographic markets in the Asia Pacific region. The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary Reed’s (Asia) Limited (BVI). Reed’s (Asia) Limited subsequently formed five additional wholly owned subsidiaries, Reed’s (Hong Kong) Limited, Reed’s (Japan) Limited, Jiangzhi Beverage (Hainan) Co. Limited, Reed’s Beverages (Singapore) PTE Limited, and Shenshen Jiangzi Beverage Co. Limited. These subsidiaries are an early part of the Company’s strategic expansion in the Asia Pacific region. The Company expects continued investment in its Asia Pacific growth initiative. Reed’s (Asia) Limited did not generate material sales in the period ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. Recent Trends – Market Conditions Although the U.S. economy continued to grow in 2025, inflation, actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation, fluctuations in energy prices, and the potential impacts of tariffs, trade tensions and geopolitical events create uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and may impact our business in future periods. We have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as inflation of raw materials, logistics and labor costs due to availability constraints and high demand. Although we regularly monitor vendors in our supply chain, and use alternative suppliers when necessary and available, supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations. 1 During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the average cost of shipping and handling was $2.57 per case, as compared to $3.17 per case for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has experienced increases in freight costs and there remains a volatile pricing environment, including due to the armed conflict in Iran. The Company will continue to monitor pricing and availability in transportation and has implemented plans designed to manage this risk. In the past, the Company has been negatively impacted by supply chain challenges affecting our ability to benefit from strong demand for, and increased sales of our product. Any disruption caused by labor shortages, significant raw material cost inflation, logistics issues, increased freight costs, or port congestion, may adversely impact margins in the future. Through March 31, 2026, we continued to finance our operations through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, public and private issuance of common stock, and credit lines from financial institutions. As we seek additional financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry. Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, as compared to March 31, 2025 The following table sets forth key statistics for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in thousands. Three Months Ended March 31, Pct. 2026 2025 Change Gross billing (A) $ 8,514 $ 11,013 -23 % Less: Promotional and other allowances (B) 1,372 984 39 % Net sales $ 7,142 $ 10,029 -29 % Cost of goods sold 6,445 6,627 -3 % % of Gross billing 76 % 60 % % of Net sales 90 % 66 % Gross profit $ 697 $ 3,402 -80 % % of Net sales 10 % 34 % Expenses Delivery and handling $ 1,120 $ 1,627 -31 % % of Net sales 16 % 16 % Dollar per case ($) $ 2.57 $ 3.17 Selling and marketing 1,747 1,502 16 % % of Net sales 24 % 15 % General and administrative 4,045 2,015 101 % % of Net sales 57 % 20 % Total operating expenses 6,912 5,144 34 % Loss from operations $ (6,215 ) $ (1,742 ) 257 % Interest expense and other expense $ (249 ) $ (289 ) -14 % Net loss $ (6,464 ) $ (2,031 ) 218 % Loss per share – basic and diluted $ (0.55 ) $ (0.27 ) 190 % Weighted average shares outstanding - basic & diluted 11,820,429 7,561,875 10 % 2 (A) We define gross billing as the total sales for the Company unadjusted for costs related to generating those sales. Management utilizes gross billing as an indicator of and to monitor operating performance of products and salespersons before the effect of any promotional or other allowances, which are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and can mask certain performance issues. We believe that the presentation of gross billing provides a useful measure of our operating performance. Additionally, gross billing may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, as gross billing has been defined by our internal reporting practices . (B) We define promotional and other allowances as costs deducted from gross billing that are associated with generating those sales. Management utilizes promotional and other allowances as an indicator of and to monitor operating performance of products, salespersons, and customer agreements. We believe that the presentation of promotional and other allowances provides a useful measure of our operating performance. The presentation of promotional and other allowances facilitates an evaluation of their impact on the determination of net sales and the spending levels incurred or correlated with such sales. The expenditures described in this line item are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and meet U.S. GAAP requirements, however the disclosure thereof does not conform to U.S. GAAP presentation requirements. Additionally, our definition of promotional and other allowances may not be comparable to similar items presented by other companies. Promotional and other allowances primarily include consideration given to the Company’s distributors or retail customers including, but not limited to the following: (i) reimbursements given to the Company’s distributors for agreed portions of their promotional spend with retailers, including slotting, shelf space allowances and other fees for both new and existing products; (ii) the Company’s agreed share of fees given to distributors and/or directly to retailers for in-store marketing and promotional activities; (iii) the Company’s agreed share of slotting, shelf space allowances and other fees given directly to retailers; (iv) incentives given to the Company’s distributors and/or retailers for achieving or exceeding certain predetermined sales goals; and (v) discounted or free products. Promotional and other allowances constitute a material portion of our marketing activities. The Company’s promotional allowance programs with its numerous distributors and/or retailers are executed through separate agreements in the ordinary course of business. These agreements generally provide for one or more of the arrangements described above and are of varying durations, ranging from one week to one year. Sales, Cost of Sales, and Gross Margins The following chart sets forth key statistics for the transition of the Company’s top line activity from the first quarter of 2025 through the first quarter of 2026. 2026 2025 vs PY Q1 Per Case Q1 Q1 Q1 2026 2025 vs PY Cases: Reed’s 320 334 -4 % Virgil’s 115 179 -37 % Total Core 435 513 -15 % Gross Billing: Total $ 8,514 $ 11,013 -23 % 19.57 21.47 -9 % Discounts: Total $ (1,372 ) $ (984 ) 39 % $ (3.15 ) $ (1.92 ) 64 % COGS: Total $ (6,445 ) $ (6,627 ) -3 % $ (14.82 ) $ (12.92 ) 15 % Gross Margin: $ 697 $ 3,402 -80 % $ 1.60 $ 6.63 -76 % as % Net Sales 10 % 34 % 3 Sales, Cost of Sales, and Gross Margins Gross billing decreased by 23% to $8,514 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $11,013 during the prior year, primarily driven by Reed’s volume decline of 4%, and Virgil’s volume decline of 37%. Price on our brands decreased 9% to $19.57 per case, primarily driven by liquidation of select slow-moving product. Discounts as a percentage of gross sales were 16% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 9% in the prior year. Net sales decreased 29% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, to $7,142, compared to $10,029 in the prior year, primarily driven by lower volumes with recurring national customers and higher promotional and other allowances. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold decreased $182 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 90% as compared to 66% for the prior year. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by inventory write-offs related to changes in product portfolio optimization made by new management, in an amount of $738. The total cost of goods per case increased to $14.82 per case in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $12.92 per case for the prior year. Gross Margin Gross margin was 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 34% for the prior year. Operating Expenses Delivery and Handling Expenses Delivery and handling expenses consist of delivery costs to customers and warehousing costs incurred for handling our finished goods after production. Delivery and handling expenses decreased by $507 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, to $1,120 from $1,627 in the prior year, primarily driven by continued improvements in logistics efficiency and freight optimization. Delivery costs in the three months ended March 31, 2026, were 16% of net sales and $2.57 per case, compared to 16% of net sales and $3.17 per case during the prior year. Selling and Marketing Expenses Marketing expenses consist of direct marketing, marketing labor, and marketing support costs. Selling expenses consist of all other selling-related expenses including personnel and contractor support. Total selling and marketing expenses were $1,747 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,502 during the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee related costs and marketing expenditures. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses were 24% of net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 15% of net sales during the prior year. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the cost of executive, administrative, and finance personnel, as well as professional fees. General and administrative expenses were $4,045 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2,030 over the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 57% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 20% during the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by investments in personnel and related services to support our Asia growth initiative, in an amount of $1,441. 4 Loss from Operations The loss from operations was $6,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a loss of $1,742 in the prior year, primarily driven by lower gross profit and higher operating expenses discussed above. Interest and Other Expense Interest and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisted of $204 of interest expense and $45 of other expense. During the prior year, interest and other expense consisted of $289 of interest expense. EBITDA In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we present EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Net loss $ (6,464 ) $ (2,031 ) EBITDA adjustments: Interest expense 204 289 Depreciation and amortization 42 53 Total EBITDA adjustments $ 246 $ 342 EBITDA $ (6,218 ) $ (1,689 ) We present EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; making compensation decisions; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following: ● EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; ● EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; ● EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and ● Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. 5 Liquidity As reflected in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $6,464 and used cash in operations of $5,844. Cash used in operations was primarily from our operating losses, working capital, and investment in strategic growth initiatives. As of March 31, 2026, we had a cash balance of $4,580 and no remaining availability under our Senior Secured Loan. Historically, we have financed our operations through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, public and private issuance of common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt instruments, term loans and credit lines from financial institutions. In September 2025, we entered into a loan agreement with certain funds affiliated with Whitebox Advisors LLC, as lenders, and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The loan agreement provides for a senior secured loan and is further discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management expects that the Company’s existing cash of $4,580, cash generated from operations, and access to committed financing will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating plan, which was approved by the board of directors in February 2026, for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, if the Company’s management and board of directors approve additional growth initiatives and related investment in human resources, working capital, new geographic markets, information technology, and other uses of cash, the Company may require additional funding. To alleviate any funding considerations, management periodically evaluates various funding alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, mezzanine or debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, strategic transactions, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry. We are also continuing to take actions to improve the Company’s operating performance and cash generated from operations, including product portfolio optimization, implementing strategies to increase sales, streamlining operations, improving supply chains, negotiating equitable vendor contracts, and managing product price architecture. However, we may be unsuccessful in executing these actions in a timely manner or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary or otherwise improve its operating performance or generation of cash from operations, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail certain of its operations until such time as additional capital becomes available. Cash Flows Net cash used in operating activities totaled $5,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by operating losses, working capital, and investment in strategic growth initiatives. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $74 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by no purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $93 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by no repayment of advances from a former related party and no payment of cash recorded as a debt discount. 6 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, inventory obsolescence, depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies described in the condensed financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K that impacted our condensed financial statements and related notes included herein. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are party to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, including routine litigation matters tendered to our insurance carriers. Our management evaluates our exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and provides for potential losses on such litigation if the amount of the loss is estimable and the loss is probable. Although the results of such routine litigation matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such routine litigation and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. 7 Item 1A. Risk Factors There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds None. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities Not applicable. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. Item 5. Other Information During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of our directors or executive officers adopted , modified or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as such terms are defined under Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
