RYTHM, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Overview, Basis of Presentation
and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
RYTHM, Inc. (formerly Agrify
Corporation) (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “RYTHM”) delivers well-being to consumers through
its portfolio of hemp-derived THC products and iconic licensed brands. The Company’s portfolio of consumer-packaged goods brands
includes RYTHM, incredibles, Dogwalkers, Beboe, &Shine, Doctor Solomon’s, Good Green and Señorita. The Señorita
brand offers consumers hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages that mirror well-known cocktails like a margarita
– in four flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita, Paloma and Ranch Water. Known for its clean,
fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita offers a low-sugar, low-calorie alternative to alcoholic
beverages and is available in seventeen U.S. states and Canada including at top retailers such as Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits,
and Binny’s. The RYTHM branded beverage comes in two fruit-driven flavors with effect-based ingredients. Both Señorita and
RYTHM hemp-derived beverages are available at Chicago’s iconic United Center, based on a partnership announced in January 2026,
establishing the Company as the venue’s official THC sponsor. Other hemp-derived products including incredibles and Beboe edible
products are primarily sold online and through direct-to-retail partnerships. In addition to the sale of hemp-derived products (“Non-licensing
Revenue”), the Company licenses its brands to be manufactured and distributed in exchange for a licensing fee (“Licensing
Revenue”). Throughout these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the terms “intellectual property”,
“intellectual property rights”, “brands”, “trademarks”, “tradenames”, “brand rights”
and “Prepaid License Rights” are used interchangeably.
The Company has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions
for the cannabis industry. Prior to the exit of the extraction business on March 30, 2025, the Company’s comprehensive extraction
product line (“the Extraction Business”), which included hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing, and lab equipment,
empowered cannabis producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally, prior to
its sale on December 31, 2024, the Company’s proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”)
enabled cultivators to produce high quality products.
The Company was formed in
the State of Nevada on June 6, 2016 as Agrinamics, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Agrify Corporation. On August 27, 2025,
the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of Nevada, to
effect a change in the Company’s name from Agrify Corporation to RYTHM, Inc., effective as of September 2, 2025. In connection
with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol on the Nasdaq Capital Market changed from “AGFY” to “RYM”
effective as of the open of trading on September 2, 2025. The Company is sometimes referred to herein by the words “we,”
“us,” “our,” and similar terminology.
The Company has thirteen wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, which
are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries” and seven out of thirteen subsidiaries are related to discontinued operations.
On December 12, 2024, the
Company acquired certain assets from Double or Nothing, LLC (“Double or Nothing”), the owner and creator of the Señorita
brand of hemp-derived drinks as part of the Company’s strategic plan to reposition itself as a distributor of hemp-derived THC
beverages and similar products.
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with Raymond Chang, the Company’s
former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating to the Company’s
VFUs, including the related Agrify total-turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify Insights TM software solutions
(collectively the “Cultivation Business”). The sale of the Cultivation Business occurred following signing on December 31,
2024. The results of the Cultivation Business are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Cultivation
Business associated with discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
For further discussion on the discontinued operations, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
5
On March 30, 2025, the Company approved the winding down of the Extraction
Business by March 31, 2025, including but not limited to, the sale or other disposal of all remaining assets constituting the Extraction
Business, the cessation of all business operations related to the Extraction Business, the termination of any outstanding contracts related
to the Extraction Business, and termination of any employees primarily involved in the Extraction Business. The results of the Extraction
Business are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded
from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Extraction Business associated with discontinued
operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. For further discussion on the discontinued
operations, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On May 20, 2025, the Company acquired from VCP IP Holdings, LLC (“VCP”)
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries Inc., a related party (“Green Thumb”), 100 % of the equity interests
of MC Brands, LLC pursuant to which the Company obtained rights relating to MC Brands, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Core Growth
LLC (together referred to as “MC Brands”). The assets of MC Brands consist primarily of intellectual property rights associated
with the Incredibles brand. Concurrent with the transaction, the Company entered into a license agreement with GTI Core, LLC (“GTI
Core”), an indirect subsidiary of Green Thumb, pursuant to which GTI Core was granted the right to use the incredibles brand in
connection with its existing businesses. Consideration payable by GTI Core under the license agreement consists of a monthly license fee
payable in cash. The Company began recognizing licensing revenue under this agreement in May 2025.
On August 27, 2025, the Company acquired from VCP23, LLC an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb (“VCP23”), 100 % of the equity interests of VCP pursuant to which the Company obtained
rights relating to VCP. The assets of VCP, consist primarily of intellectual property rights to the RYTHM, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon’s,
& Shine, and Good Green brands (these rights, together with the incredibles brand rights, referred to as “Brand Rights”).
Concurrent with the transaction, the Company entered into a license agreement with GTI Core pursuant to which GTI Core was granted the
right to use the Brand Rights in connection with its existing businesses. Consideration payable by GTI Core under the license agreement
consists of a monthly license fee payable in cash. The Company began recognizing licensing revenue under this agreement in November 2025.
On March 31, 2026, the Company amended the license agreements with
GTI Core described above to replace sales-based royalty consideration with fixed annual fees, effective April 1, 2026. Under the amended
terms, the Company is entitled to aggregate fixed payments of $ 70 million per year, subject to annual escalation based on a 2x multiple
of changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) beginning January 1, 2027, subject to a maximum year-over-year increase of
10 %. The Company recognizes this revenue on a ratable basis over the license term as the customer receives continuous access
to the intellectual property.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for
a fair presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported
for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes
necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“GAAP”).
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.
6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, which include estimates
related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, reported amounts of revenues during the reported period, fair value of warrant
liabilities, sales tax liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets, net realizable value of inventory and collectability of trade accounts,
intangible assets, other assets (Prepaid License Rights), goodwill, and litigation. Management bases their estimates on historical experience
and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
The Company regularly evaluates
its assets, including asset groups or reporting units, for impairment in accordance with GAAP. The Company is aware of the impact that
prolonged net losses can have on the fair value of underlying assets and the overall company. The Company is committed to ensuring that
the carrying amounts of its assets are appropriately assessed and adjusted for any impairment, reflecting a true and fair view of its
financial position.
Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2024, the
Company entered into and closed the Purchase Agreement with CP. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating
to the Cultivation Business. On March 30, 2025, the Company discontinued the Extraction Business (together with the Cultivation Business,
the “Discontinued Operations”).
As the sale of the
Cultivation Business and the exit of the Extraction Business represented strategic shifts that will have a major effect on the
Company’s operations and financial results, they have been presented in discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements , separate from continuing operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and applicable footnotes
and as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, as applicable. For further
discussion, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of amounts for goods and
services that are billed and currently due from customers. In accordance with the current expect credited loss (“CECL”) impairment
model under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , accounts
receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which are an estimate of billed or borrowed amounts that may
not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general economic
conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific risks identified in customer or borrower collection matters, including the
aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer or borrower financial conditions. Accounts receivable balances are written
off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance
for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant
Customer
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily
with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions generally exceed federally insured limits. Management believes
minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had one related
party customer that accounted for 75 % of the total revenue from continuing operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company had four third-party customers that accounted for 10 % or more of the total revenue from continuing operations. These customers
represented between 10 % and 26 % of total revenue from continuing operations for the period.
As of March 31, 2026, the
Company’s related party customer accounted for 79 % of accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2025, a related party
accounted for 75 % of the Company’s total accounts receivable.
7
Inventories
The Company values all its
inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials, at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally
determined by the weighted-average cost method. Write-offs of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific
identification of obsolete or damaged material. The Company takes a physical inventory count at least once annually at all significant
inventory locations.
Goodwill
Goodwill is defined as the
excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment
annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. A goodwill impairment charge is
recorded if the amount by which the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Factors that could lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in projected revenues,
a deterioration of projected financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and/or a decline in the Company’s market
value as a result of a significant sustained decline in the Company’s stock price.
Goodwill is not subject
to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate there might
be an impairment. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Examples include
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which we use the asset, or an unexpected change in financial performance. When evaluating
long-lived assets for impairment, we compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated undiscounted future
cash flows. An impairment is indicated if the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. The impairment is
the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluates all
its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC
480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified
or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance
in ASC 480 and ASC 815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant
to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements
for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock among other
conditions for equity classification.
Issued or modified warrants
that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
Issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the
date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be
recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those
contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance
with ASC 815. ASC 815 requires that the Company identify and record certain embedded conversion options, certain variable-share settlement
features, and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as
of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as an unrealized non-operating, non-cash income or expense
for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each
balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date
of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded conversion options, variable-share settlement features, and any related
freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument which is amortized to interest expense over the life of the
respective note using the effective interest method.
8
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, operating lease liabilities, long-term debt, related-party debt, and warrant liabilities. Refer to Note
4 - Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details of the
Company’s financial instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures restricted stock units and stock options awards
granted to employees, directors and consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense of
those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are recognized
as incurred. Historically, the Company has issued restricted stock units and stock options to employees, directors and consultants with
only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method.
The Company classifies stock-based
compensation expense in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s
payroll costs are classified.
The Company estimates the
fair value of each stock option grant on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected term of the
Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla”
options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the
award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the
Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”), for determining the appropriate accounting treatment for asset acquisitions. ASU 2017-01, Clarifying
the Definition of a Business , provides an initial fair value screen to determine if substantially all of the
fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the initial screening
test is not met, the set is considered a business based on whether there are inputs and substantive processes in place.
Based on the results of this analysis and conclusion on an acquisition’s classification of a business combination or
an asset acquisition, the accounting treatment is derived.
If the acquisition is deemed to
be a business, the purchase method of accounting is applied. The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the
allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, is determined using established valuation techniques.
A fair value measurement is determined as the price received to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the context of purchase accounting, the determination of fair value
often involves significant judgments and estimates by management, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates
of future revenues, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The estimated fair values
reflected in the purchase accounting rely on management’s judgment and the expertise of a third-party valuation firm
engaged to assist in concluding on the fair value measurements. In determining the fair value of all identifiable
assets and liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to intangible assets. For the intangible assets identified,
depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, the fair value is developed using
appropriate valuation techniques, taking into account assumptions such as the expected future revenue, expected use of the asset, market
conditions, uncertainty factors, the estimated useful life, and discount rate, among other factors. These assumptions may vary based
on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such
variations may be significant to estimated values.
If the transaction is deemed to
be an asset acquisition, the cost accumulation and allocation model is used whereby the assets and liabilities are recorded based
on the purchase price and allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on relative fair values. For the allocation
of intangible assets identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its relative fair
value, an independent valuation expert or management may allocate the relative fair value, using appropriate valuation
techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows and takes into consideration other
significant assumptions such as the expected use, market uncertainty, marketing or sales support requirements and the intangible
asset useful lives.

Prepaid License Rights
If a sale arrangement includes terms—such as repurchase features
or other provisions—that prevent the buyer from obtaining control of the business or assets, the Company concludes that control
has not transferred. In those circumstances, the arrangement is accounted for based on its substance under other applicable GAAP. In connection
with such arrangements, amounts paid for licensing rights are deferred and recorded as prepaid licensing rights on the Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. These amounts are recognized in expense over the period in which the related rights are
utilized or otherwise as the underlying economic benefit is consumed.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
The Company generates revenue from continuing operations through the
sale of hemp-derived THC products (non-licensing) and Licensing Revenue. The Company licenses intellectual property to a related party
under arrangements that, prior to April 1, 2026, provided for sales-based royalties. Licensing revenue associated with these arrangements
was recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), specifically, the sales-based royalty
exception, through March 31, 2026.
Through March 31, 2026, in
accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65 through 55-65B, Licensing Revenue is recognized only when the underlying sale by
the licensee occurs, and the performance obligation has otherwise been satisfied. This approach ensures that revenue is recognized in
the period in which it is earned and determinable, consistent with the transfer of control of the intellectual property to the licensee.
Effective April 1, 2026,
the Company amended certain licensing agreements with subsidiaries of Green Thumb to replace sales-based royalty consideration with fixed
annual fees. Under the amended terms, the Company is entitled to aggregate fixed payments of $ 70 million per year, subject to annual escalation
based on a two times multiple of changes in the CPI beginning January 1, 2027 , subject to a maximum year-over-year increase of 10 %. The
Company recognizes this revenue on a ratable basis over the license term as the licensees receive continuous access to the intellectual
property.
For the purposes of ASC 606, the transaction price for these arrangements includes fixed consideration and
variable consideration related to CPI-based adjustments. Per ASC 606, variable consideration is included in the transaction price only
to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur. As of March 31, 2026, CPI-based adjustments
are considered constrained and are therefore excluded from the transaction price and will be recognized as revenue in the period in which
the uncertainty is resolved.
Effective April 1, 2026,
in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the
end of the current reporting period. The Company excluded variable consideration related to CPI-based fee escalators from the total remaining
performance obligations, as such amounts are not included in the transaction price due to the application of the constraint. The Company
expects to recognize such variable consideration in the period in which the related uncertainty is resolved. Actual amounts and timing
of revenue recognition may differ from these estimates due to contract modifications, CPI-based price increases, or the exercise of contractual
repurchase rights by Green Thumb.
In accordance with ASC
606, revenue for hemp-derived THC products (non-licensing) is recognized through a five-step model, as outlined below:
●
Identify the customer
contract : A customer contract is identified when there is mutual approval and commitment between the Company
and its customer, the rights and obligations are clear, payment terms are set, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability
is probable. Written or electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders are obtained if such orders are issued in the normal
course of business by the customer.
●
Identify performance
obligations that are distinct : The Company identifies distinct performance obligations in each contract. A performance
obligation is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with readily available
resources, and if it is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company’s revenue-generating activities
typically have a single performance obligation.
●
Determine the transaction
price : The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the sale of the product.
This amount is determined excluding sales taxes collected on behalf of government agencies and net of any sales discounts,
incentives, and returns.
10
●
Allocate the transaction
price to distinct performance obligations : The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation
based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services provided. If a contract involves multiple
performance obligations, each is accounted for separately if distinct, and the SSP reflects the price the Company would
charge if the good or service were sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.
●
Recognize revenue as
the performance obligations are satisfied :
-
Revenue from the sale of
hemp-derived THC products (non-licensing) is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon
delivery or shipment, as the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Payment terms vary by customer, but the time between
revenue recognition and payment due is generally not significant. For products sold under consignment arrangements, revenue
is recognized only when control is transferred to the end customer. The Company does not maintain a specific
reserve for returns due to the limited circumstances under which returns are permitted in customer agreements. Payments
for slotting, listing fees, or other marketing or promotional activities, where legally permitted, are recorded as a reduction
in revenue unless a distinct good or service is received in exchange.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for
income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires, among other things,
an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes
it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions
taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position
taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax
position is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that
meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely
of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken
that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying
balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The
Company has recorded liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits related to research and development tax credits.
The Company recognizes the
benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. ASC 740, provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax
position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740 clarifies that a tax position
can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions considered effectively settled,
the Company recognizes the full amount of the tax benefit.
The Company’s provision
for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine
the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions
in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income
(loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in
which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.
11
The provision for income
taxes represents federal, state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the Company’s release
of valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that was previously offsetting deferred tax assets. Our effective
tax rate may change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring factors including, but not limited to, the geographical
mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new
information resulting in the recognition, derecognition or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized
separately in the quarter of the change.
Tax contingencies are recorded,
if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged by tax authorities. These
potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Any estimates of tax
contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax
positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations
and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Net Income (Loss)
Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted net income (loss) per share
in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the two-class
method, under which net income is allocated to common stockholders and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive
dividends. The Company’s participating securities consist of pre-funded warrants. Accordingly, net income attributable to its Common
Stockholders may differ from reported net income in periods of net income.
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised
or converted into common stock. The Company determines diluted income (loss) per share by applying the most dilutive method for each class
of potentially dilutive securities. The treasury stock method is applied to stock options and restricted stock units, the if-converted
method is applied to convertible notes, and the two-class method is applied to participating securities. For instruments subject to the
two-class method, the Company applies a hybrid approach in which income is allocated after giving effect to adjustments from other dilutive
securities.
In periods of net income, a portion of income is allocated to participating
securities and deducted in determining income attributable to Common Stockholders. In periods of net loss, losses are not allocated to
participating securities, as they do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. In such periods, basic and diluted net loss
per share are the same, as potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. See Note 14 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share for details.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2024-04”),
which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as
an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within
those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06, Debt
- Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity . The Company adopted
this new standard on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and the effect of this guidance is reflected in the financial statements beginning
in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense
captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective
basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting
(Topic 270) (“ASU 2025-11”), Narrow-Scope Improvements, to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate
whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures
that are required by GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events
since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective
for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments
in ASU 2025-11 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact that ASU 2025-11 may have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.
12
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12 Codification Improvements
(“ASU 2025-12”), which includes various amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification intended to clarify, correct,
and improve existing guidance. ASU 2025-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting
periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-12
may have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed
by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The Company is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in aggregate,
indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that
the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company has a history
of recurring net losses and negative cash flow in operating activities. However, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company
generated positive cash flow from operating activities and reported net income primarily as a result of non-cash income tax benefit. Management
believes that the Company’s $ 33.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, anticipated contractual Licensing Revenue and ability to
address outstanding Convertible Notes will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through at least the 12-month period following
the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Convertible Notes maturities of $ 80 million exist through February
2027, with $ 72.0 million held by Green Thumb, a related party. The ability for the holders of these notes to elect to be repaid in cash
upon maturity could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, while these contractual
maturities require management attention, management believes it is probable that the obligations will be addressed through extension or
conversion consistent with historical practice. As such, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis.
Note 2 — Revenue
Revenue
The Company generates revenue
from continuing operations from Non-licensing Revenue and Licensing Revenue.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated revenue
from continuing operations from hemp-derived product sales (Non-licensing Revenue) and sales-based Licensing Revenue. Hemp-derived product
sales revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control transfers to the customer. Licensing Revenue is recognized over time as the
underlying sales occur in accordance with the terms of the related party license agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2025,
all of the Company’s revenue from continuing operations is transferred at a point-in-time and relates to hemp-derived beverages.

amount of contractual Licensing Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations is approximately $ 308.4 million. This represents
fixed fees through August 27, 2030, reflecting the period prior to which neither party may terminate unilaterally; mutual termination
remains available throughout the term. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue ratably over that period. The Company excluded
variable consideration related to CPI-based fee escalators from the total remaining performance obligations.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measures
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
In accordance with ASC Topic
820, Fair Value Measurement , the Company measures fair value at 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. In determining fair value, the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting
of three levels, as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs
such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Other inputs that
are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are
not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would
price the asset or liability.
15
The Company has certain financial instruments which consist of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, operating lease liabilities, long-term debt, related party
debt, and warrant liabilities. Fair value information for each of these instruments as well as other balances of the Company are as follows:
●
Cash and cash equivalents,
accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
●
Accounts receivable are
presented net of an allowance for estimated credit losses, which approximates fair value.
●
The carrying value of lease
liabilities approximates fair value due to the implicit discount rates used in the determination of the lease liabilities being consistent
with the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time of lease inception and accounting for the duration of the leases.
●
Long-term debt and related
party debt, including the debt that has undergone troubled debt restructuring, is carried at amortized cost, dictated by the prevailing
market interest rates at the time of each transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).
●
The Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market for each
reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of the warrant liabilities are estimated
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
At March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Warrant Liabilities
The estimated fair
value of the warrant liabilities on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent the Company’s
best estimate. The volatility rate is determined utilizing the Company’s own share price and the share price of competitors
over time. However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be
materially different.
The following table summarizes

the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method. Such costs include the
acquisition cost for raw materials and operating supplies. The Company’s standard payment terms with suppliers may require making
payments in advance of delivery of the Company’s products.

Inventory Reserves
The Company establishes
an inventory reserve for obsolete, slow moving, and defective inventory. The Company calculates inventory reserves for obsolete, slow
moving, or defective items as the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. The reserves are based
upon management’s expected method of disposition.
Note 6 — Discontinued Operations
Cultivation Business Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with Raymond Chang, the Company’s
former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating to the Company’s
vertical farming unit business, including the related Agrify total-turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify Insights TM
software solutions (collectively, the “Cultivation Business”). The consideration for the sale included the assumption by CP
of certain secured indebtedness and other liabilities related to the Cultivation Business. The disposition resulted in a loss on sale
of $ 11.9 million, which was recorded in net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2026,
the Company has no material remaining assets or liabilities, nor any ongoing involvement related to the Cultivation Business. For the
three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has no material results of operations related to the Cultivation Business.
Extraction Business Discontinued Operations
On March 30, 2025, the Company
approved the discontinuation and wind down of its extraction product line, which included hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing,
and lab equipment (the “Extraction Business”). The wind down was completed during 2025 and included the cessation of operations,
termination of contracts, and disposal of related assets. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $ 3.5 million in income from discontinued
operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The operating results of the Extraction Business were reported as discontinued operations
in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all prior periods presented.
In connection with the discontinuation of its legacy Extraction Business, the Company continues to carry certain liabilities, including
accounts payable and other current liabilities of $ 0.6 million and $ 1.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. These balances represent
historical obligations for which there has been limited collection activity. The Company believes the amounts may be owed and therefore
has classified them as current liabilities; however, the timing and likelihood of settlement remain uncertain. The Company evaluates these
balances periodically and will derecognize such obligations when it determines that settlement is no longer probable, including consideration
of applicable statutes of limitations, which may extend for several years.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2026, the Company has no material results of operations related to the Extraction Business.
As of December 31, 2025, assets associated with Discontinued Operations
consisted of operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 14 thousand. Liabilities associated with Discontinued Operations totaled $ 2.1 million,
consisting of accounts payable of $ 0.6 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $ 1.5 million, and current operating
lease liabilities of $ 38 thousand.

Note 7 — Prepaid License Rights
The Company evaluates transactions involving the acquisition of intellectual
property and other assets to determine the appropriate accounting treatment based on applicable GAAP, including ASC 805, and ASC Topic
340 – Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”). Certain transactions may not meet the criteria for either
a business combination or an asset acquisition and are accounted for under other applicable GAAP.
19
Prepaid License Rights relate to arrangements entered into in 2025
with affiliates of Green Thumb, as further described in Note 8 below.

Note 8 —Acquisitions
Prepaid License Rights
VCP Transaction
On August 27, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
VCP23, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb, a related party, pursuant to which the Company obtained access to and use of
certain intellectual property rights (the “VCP Transaction”) in exchange for cash consideration of $ 50.0 million.
An affiliate of Green Thumb holds a call option to repurchase some
or all of the VCP Transaction intellectual property rights for up to five years from the transaction date upon the occurrence of certain
specified eligibility conditions, which are outside of the control of both parties but with likelihood of eligibility greater than remote.
Due to changes in legislation around hemp-derived products enacted in November 2025, which are currently expected to become effective
in November 2026, one of the eligibility conditions that would permit the repurchase right to become exercisable is likely to be satisfied
within the next twelve months. However, satisfaction of such conditions does not obligate Green Thumb or its affiliates to exercise the
repurchase option, which remains within their discretion.
Because this call option represents a substantive repurchase right,
the arrangement includes terms that preclude the transfer of control and therefore does not meet the criteria for a completed sale and
is not accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805. Instead, the Company accounts for the arrangement under other applicable U.S.
GAAP, including ASC 340. The related Prepaid License Rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.
20
MC Brands Transaction
On May 20, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
VCP, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb, a related party, pursuant to which the Company obtained access to and use of
certain intellectual property rights associated with the incredibles brand (the “MC Brands Transaction”) in exchange for cash
consideration of $ 5.1 million.
An affiliate of Green Thumb holds a call option
to repurchase some or all of the MC Brands intellectual property rights for up to five years from the transaction date upon the occurrence
of certain specified eligibility conditions. Due to changes in legislation around hemp-derived products enacted in November 2025, which
are currently expected to become effective in November 2026, one of the eligibility conditions that would permit the repurchase right
to become exercisable is likely to be satisfied within the next twelve months. However, satisfaction of such conditions does not obligate
Green Thumb or its affiliates to exercise the repurchase option, which remains within their discretion.
Consistent with the VCP Transaction, this arrangement
is not accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805 and is instead accounted for as a prepaid executory contract under ASC 340.
The Company continues to evaluate the impact
of regulatory developments related to hemp-derived products on this arrangement. As of March 31, 2026, no additional impairment or changes
in accounting conclusions have been recognized.

Convertible Notes
On May 22, 2025,
the Company issued secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $ 30.0 million (collectively the “May
2025 Notes”) to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The May 2025 Notes are secured obligations of the
Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company except for the August 2025 Notes, which ranks on parity with the May 2025
Notes. The May 2025 Notes will mature on November 22, 2026 and accrue interest at a 10.0 % annualized rate, with interest to be paid on
the first calendar day of each September and March while the May 2025 Notes are outstanding, in pre-funded warrants, beginning September
1, 2025. The principal amount of the May 2025 Notes will be payable on the maturity date. The May 2025 Notes may be converted into Common
Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99 % and a beneficial
ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99 %, in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert
the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion price per share will be $ 23.53 , equal to the most recent closing price of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the time the May 2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate
events. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments payable in the form of pre-funded
warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded warrant will be equal to the $ 23.53 conversion price less than $ 0.001 exercise price of
the warrant. The conversion of the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions
and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules.
On August 25, 2025, the Company issued secured convertible notes with
an aggregate original principal amount of $ 50.0 million (collectively the “August 2025 Notes”) to RSLGH and to certain other
third-party accredited investors. The August 2025 Notes are secured obligations of the Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of
the Company except for the May 2025, which rank on parity with the August 2025 Notes. The August 2025 Notes will mature on February 25,
2027 and accrue interest at a 10.0 % annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March, while
the August 2025 Notes are outstanding beginning March 1, 2026. The principal amount of the August 2025 Notes will be payable on the maturity
date. The August 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, with a beneficial
ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99 % and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99 %, in each case subject to applicable
Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion price per share will be $ 29.475 ,
equal to the Minimum Price as such term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 at the time the August 2025 Notes were issued, subject
to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes into pre-funded warrants, and
for interest payments elected to be paid in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded warrant will be equal
to the $ 29.475 conversion price less than $ 0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the August 2025 Notes into Common Stock
and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder approval
under Nasdaq listing rules.
The May 2025 Notes and August 2025 Notes (together referred to as the
“Convertible Notes”) impose certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, including covenants relating
to ranking and reservation of shares. If an event of default under one or more of the Convertible Notes occurs and is not waived, the
holder can elect to accelerate all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 14 % from the date of a default or event of default. The
Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2026.
22
The Company determined the Convertible Notes do not contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Borrowings under the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2026 totaled $ 80.0
million recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as Long-term debt, current, $ 72.0 million of which are considered
related party with Green Thumb.
Related party interest expense incurred on the Convertible Notes was
approximately $ 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Related party interest expense was approximately $ 250 thousand for
the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily related to a note that was entered into in November 2024 and was settled in November
2025.
Interest expense incurred on the Convertible Notes related to unaffiliated
third parties amounted to approximately $ 200 thousand and an immaterial amount for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, future

Note 10 — Stockholders’ Equity
Related Party Warrant Issuance
On May 21, 2024, in connection
with the amendment of previously outstanding notes, the Company issued 492,204 and 525,114 Pre-Funded Warrants to GIC Acquisitions and
CP (the “Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants”), respectively, in exchange of notes payable amounting approximately to $ 2.29
million and $ 11.5 million, respectively. The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants can be used to purchase Company’s Common Stock with
par value of $ 0.001 at an exercise price of $ 0.015 . The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants have been identified as freestanding financial
instruments and were determined not to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants
are precluded from being classified within equity and classified as a liability with subsequent changes in fair value recognized each
reporting period in earnings. The fair value of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants on the issuance date was $ 5,600,334 determined
as the intrinsic value.
On June 30, 2024, the Company
executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to which the Company revised certain provisions of the Related
Party Pre-Funded Warrants to (i) remove the adjustment to the exercise price of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants when there is a
bona fide equity financing with the primary purpose of raising capital (the “Adjustment Provisions”) and (ii) increase the
threshold for a change of control from 50 % to greater than 50 %. The classification of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants was reassessed
upon the modification and the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants were determined to meet all of the additional requirements for equity
classification. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the Company remeasured the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to its fair value immediately
prior to the modification and recognized the change in fair value of approximately $ 1.2 million in earnings. The Company then reclassified
the Pre-Funded Warrant liability to stockholders’ equity at its post-modification fair value of $ 6.8 million.
23
On August 12, 2024, the
stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to add the Adjustment Provisions at a
future date. Pursuant to that approval, on August 28, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants
to insert the Adjustment Provisions. This resulted in a reassessment of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants such that they no longer
met the requirements for equity classification and became classified as liabilities. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification,
resulting in a reduction in value of approximately $ 3.1 million. The fair value, as of August 28, 2024, of $ 3,723,383 was reclassified
to a warrant liability. As a result of the warrant amendments and the subsequent issuance of 189,645 shares of Common Stock to Ionic
at an effective purchase price of $ 2.109 per share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Related Party
Pre-Funded Warrant held by CP Acquisitions was adjusted to 5,452,288 and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Related
Party Pre-Funded Warrant held by GIC Acquisition was adjusted to 1,085,122 . On August 30, 2024, CP Acquisitions partially exercised its
Pre-Funded Warrant and entities affiliated with Raymond Chang and I-Tseng Jenny Chan received an aggregate of 383,127 shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise.
On September 27, 2024, the
Company executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to remove the Adjustment Provisions. Accordingly, the Related
Party Pre-Funded Warrants met the requirements for equity classification. The amendment also included a provision preventing the holders
from any additional exercise of either of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants at any time between September 27, 2024 and October 9,
2024. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification resulting in an increase to the fair value of $ 18,392,143 . The fair
value as of September 27, 2024 of $ 20,770,707 was reclassified to equity.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, 142,213 pre-funded warrants were issued in lieu of cash interest payments of $ 3.8 million, of
which 135,836 warrants were issued to RSLGH.
Note 11 — Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans
2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On April 29, 2022, the Company’s
Board of Directors, and on June 8, 2022, the Company’s stockholders, adopted and approved the 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
(the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation right awards, performance share awards,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. As of March 31, 2026, there were
135,065 shares of Common Stock available to be granted under the Company’s 2022 Plan.
The Company’s stock
compensation expense from continuing operations was $ 570 thousand and $ 587 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
respectively.
The Company’s stock compensation expense from discontinued operations
was nil and $ 2 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Stock Options
For three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no options granted,
exercised, or expired under the Company’s stock option plans. There were 75 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise
price of $ 27 thousand as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There were no unvested options as of March 31, 2026.
As of March 31,
2026, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options.

Restricted Stock Units
Under the 2022 Plan, the
Company may grant restricted stock units to employees, directors and officers. The restricted stock units granted generally vest equally
over periods ranging from one to three years , subject to certain exceptions for directors. The fair value of restricted stock units is
determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to
the restricted stock units is recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the vesting period.

Note 13 — Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 451.3 % and 0.0 %
for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The benefit from income taxes was $25.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Changes in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2025 are a result of the Company releasing the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company released its valuation allowance of $ 25.6 million following the execution of
an amendment to its license agreement with GTI Core on March 31, 2026, which transitioned the Company’s licensing fees to a fixed annual
structure. This amendment significantly reduces uncertainty around the Company’s future taxable income projections. Based on sustained
projected book and taxable income over the near term, management concluded that sufficient positive evidence exists to determine that
its deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not realizable, and accordingly released the valuation allowance in full during the three
months ended March 31, 2026, with the exception of certain state deferred tax assets for which apportionment factors do not support realization
in the foreseeable future; the aggregate amount of such state deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance is maintained is not
material. As a result, the income tax benefit recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is attributable to the release of the
valuation allowance. Prior to this release, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to uncertainty
surrounding future income projections.
The utilization of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”)
carryforwards is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar provisions in various
state jurisdictions due to historical change in ownership provisions (“Ownership Changes”). These limitations may reduce the
amount of NOLs available in future periods and may result in the expiration of certain NOLs before they can be utilized. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed an analysis of Ownership Changes, which had not previously been performed. The analysis identified
multiple historical ownership changes that significantly limit the utilization of federal and state NOLs through the date of the most
recent change on November 5, 2024, subjecting them to a minimal annual limitation. NOLs generated after November 5, 2024 are not currently
subject to this limitation and may be available to offset future taxable income, although any future ownership changes could impose additional
limitations.
On July 4, 2025, the One
Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBA”) was enacted, introducing significant and wide-ranging changes to the U.S. tax system. The bill
includes restoration of 100 % accelerated tax depreciation on qualifying property including expansion to cover qualified production property.
Another key point is the return to immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures (“R&E”)
and accelerated tax deductions of R&E that were previously capitalized for large businesses. The legislation also reinstates
EBITDA-based interest deduction for tax purposes. The impacts of the OBBA are reflected in our results for the quarter ended March 31,
2026, and there was no material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate.

Note 14 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The holders of the Company’s pre-funded warrants are entitled
to receive pro rata distributions if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets to holders of shares
of Common Stock, without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation contained in the pre-funded warrants. As a result, the pre-funded
warrants are considered participating securities in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In periods in which the Company reports
net income, the Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per share. Under this method, earnings are
allocated to Common Stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends, as if all undistributed
earnings for the period were distributed. The portion of earnings allocated to participating securities is deducted from net income in
determining net income attributable to common stockholders for purposes of computing earnings per share. In periods in which the Company
reports a net loss, losses are allocated to participating securities only if the security has a contractual obligation to share in losses.
As the pre-funded warrants do not contain a contractual obligation to share in losses, no loss was allocated to the pre-funded warrants
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, or for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026,
the Company’s net income was allocated in accordance with the two-class method.
The Company computes diluted earnings per share by considering the
impact of all potentially dilutive securities and applying the combination of methods that results in the most dilutive outcome in accordance
with ASC 260. The Company evaluates the dilutive effect of each class of potential common shares using the treasury stock method, if-converted
method, or the two-class method, as applicable. For instruments subject to the two-class method, the Company applies a hybrid approach
under which the two-class earnings allocation is applied to the earnings pool adjusted for if-converted and treasury stock method adjustments
applicable to other dilutive instruments. The treasury stock method is applied to unvested restricted stock units, the if-converted method
is applied to convertible notes, and the two-class method is applied to participating pre-funded warrants. The convertible notes are not
considered participating securities, as they do not provide the holder with a current right to participate in dividends or undistributed
earnings prior to conversion.
The components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were

The Company excluded the
following potential common stock equivalents, based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted earnings
(loss) per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In
addition, the Company’s pre-funded warrants are considered participating securities and are reflected through the application of
the two-class method; accordingly, they are not included in the diluted earnings per share denominator in periods in which the two-class
method results in the most dilutive outcome.

Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company
may become involved in material legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. However, litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
Bud & Mary’s Litigation
On September 15, 2022, the
Company provided a notice of default to Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. (“Bud & Mary’s) and certain related
parties notifying such parties that Bud & Mary’s was in default of its obligations under the TTK solution between the Company
and Bud & Mary (the “Bud & Mary TTK Agreement”). On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s filed a complaint in
the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Suffolk County, naming the Company as the defendant (the “Bud & Mary Complaint”).
Bud & Mary’s is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices,
breach of contract and conversion arising from the Bud & Mary TTK Agreement. While the Company believes the claim is without merit
and will continue to vigorously defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations, litigation is inherently unpredictable and
there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company deemed it necessary
to fully reserve for the outstanding $ 14.7 million note receivable balance due to the current litigation and the uncertainty of the customer’s
ability to repay the balance. As of December 31, 2024, the allowance related to Bud & Mary’s was reduced to $ 14.4 million,
reflecting a recovery of allowance for credit losses resulting from a loan repayment of $ 330 thousand that was previously included in
the allowance. The $ 14.4 million represents the amount of the contingent loss that the Company has determined to be reasonably possible
and estimable. The actual cost of resolving this matter may be higher or lower than the amount the Company has reserved. If the Company
is unable to realize revenue from its TTK Solution offerings on a timely basis or at all, or if it incurs an additional loss as a result
of the Bud & Mary’s claim, the Company’s business and financial performance will be adversely affected. On November 14,
2022, the Company filed its answers and affirmative defenses to the Bud & Mary Complaint and counterclaims. The Company is seeking,
among other relief, monetary damages in connection with the breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, unjust enrichment, and enforcement of the guarantees. This matter is still actively ongoing. This matter is subject to the Cultivation
sale escrow litigation reserve agreement where the Company funded $ 1.5 million in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling
this and other claims.
Bowdoin Construction Corp. Litigation
On February 22, 2023, Bowdoin Construction Corp. (“Bowdoin”)
filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Norfolk County, Massachusetts (the “Bowdoin Complaint”), naming
the Company, Bud & Mary’s and certain related parties as defendants, captioned Bowdoin Construction Corp. v. Agrify Corporation,
Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. and BMLC2, LLC, case no. 2382CV00173. The Bowdoin Complaint relates to a construction contract
between Bowdoin and the Company relating to the property that is the subject of the Bud & Mary’s Complaint, and alleges breach
of contract by Bud & Mary’s and by the Company due to nonpayment of approximately $ 7.0 million due under the contract and related
indemnification claims and mechanics’ liens. Two of Bowdoin’s subcontractors, Hannon Electric, Inc. and Electric Supply Center
Corp, have filed separate suits against the Company in the amount of $ 1.498 million and $ 93 thousand, respectively. These amounts are
part of the $ 7.0 million claimed in Bowdoin’s Complaint. The Bowdoin suit and the subcontractor suits have been consolidated. The
Company has denied liability in all such suits. This matter is subject to the sale of the Cultivation Business escrow litigation reserve
agreement where the Company funded $ 1.5 million in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.
28
McCutchan, Inc.
In December 2021, the Company
entered into a standard form of agreement between owner and contractor whereby Valiant Group LLC (“Valiant”) is the general
contractor for tenant improvements on certain real property located in Bellevue, Washington (the “Project”). McCutchan, Inc.
(“McCutchan”) agreed to be a subcontractor on the Project and engaged various other subcontractors (the “Valiant Agreement”).
The Company terminated Valiant as the general contractor for, among other allegations, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Following
the termination of Valiant, in October 2022, the Valiant Agreement was assigned and accepted (the “Assignment”) to Agxion,
LLC, a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company. The Assignment contemplates that, as a subcontractor to the Valiant Agreement, McCutchan
is still bound to the subcontract agreement and will continue construction operations on the Project. The Company is pursuing Valiant
in a separate litigation to collect no less than approximately $ 1.4 million alleging overbilling, breach of the Valiant Agreement, and
violation of Chapter 18.27 and 19.86 of the Revised Code of Washington. On March 5, 2024, McCutchan filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of Washington for King County naming the Company, Valiant, and certain related parties as defendants. In the complaint, McCutchan
asserts two causes of action against the Company: (1) breach of contract, (2) voidable contract, (3) interference with business or economic
expectancy, (4) unjust enrichment, and (5) defamation. McCutchan’s claims are based on allegations of misrepresentations made by
the Company to pay McCutchan for work completed on the Project as well as a failure to pay under the Valiant Agreement. In the alternative,
McCutchan is alleging the Assignment is void and not a valid contract. McCutchan is seeking to collect no less than $ 3 million against
the Company and all other named defendants. This matter is subject to the Cultivation sale escrow litigation reserve agreement where
the Company funded $ 1.5 million in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.
Assets Subject to Contingent Repurchase
Rights
Under the purchase agreements for MC Brands Transaction and VCP Transaction,
Green Thumb or its affiliates may repurchase some or all of the MC Brands and/or VCP assets within five years of the respective transaction
dates upon the occurrence of specified eligibility conditions, all of which are outside the control of both the Company and Green Thumb.
The 2026 Appropriations Act includes an amendment to the definition of hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill that, if implemented as enacted,
could materially restrict the commercialization of certain hemp-derived THC products beginning 365 days after enactment. If the amendment
becomes effective in its current form and is not repealed, replaced, or otherwise modified prior to its effective date, one of the eligibility
conditions under the MC Brands and VCP purchase agreements that could permit the repurchase right to become exercisable would be satisfied.
However, the exercise of the repurchase option would remain solely within the discretion of Green Thumb or its affiliates. The full eligibility
conditions are set forth in the purchase agreements for MC Brands Transaction and VCP Transaction filed on May 22, 2025 and August 27,
2025, respectively.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is potentially
subject to claims related to various non-income taxes (such as sales, value-added, consumption, and similar taxes) from various tax authorities,
including in jurisdictions in which the Company already collects and remits such taxes. If the relevant taxing authorities successfully
pursue these claims, the Company could be subject to additional tax liabilities.

Note 16 — Related Parties
Some of the current and former
officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business
opportunities that become available. Ben Kovler, RYTHM’s Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer also serves as Green Thumb’s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. RYTHM’s Chief Financial Officer is a Green Thumb employee and provides services under a shared
services agreement. Including Mr. Kovler, two of RYTHM’s seven directors are affiliated with Green Thumb. Green Thumb, through its
subsidiaries, currently holds approximately 33 % of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and beneficially owns 49.99 % of our Common Stock,
taking into account beneficial ownership limitations contained in the warrants and convertible notes held by subsidiaries of Green Thumb.
Of the approximately 11.0 million warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026, approximately 9.9 million are held by subsidiaries of Green
Thumb, subject to 49.99 % beneficial ownership limitations. Of the approximately 3.0 million shares or pre-funded warrants that would be
issuable upon the conversion (excluding interest) of the Convertible Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2026, approximately 2.7 million
are held by subsidiaries of Green Thumb, subject to 49.99 % beneficial ownership limitations. The outstanding warrants are entitled to
pro rata participation in dividends and other distributions to holders of Common Stock without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation.
Additional details regarding the shared services arrangement, convertible notes, and intellectual property and licensing agreements are
provided in the sections below.

for the Convertible Notes, and $ 1.4 million non-licensing chargeback expense, offset by $ 10.0 million Licensing Revenue from Green Thumb.
The $ 1.4 million of non-licensing chargeback expense represents a net amount and includes a $ 202 thousand inventory purchase from Green
Thumb.
Related Party Licensing Revenue
On May 20, 2025, and August 27, 2025, the Company acquired intellectual
property rights to the Brand Rights, as part of the related party acquisition of MC Brands and VCP, respectively. In connection with the
acquisitions, the Company also licensed the Brand Rights back to a Green Thumb affiliate under license arrangements and recognized related
party Licensing Revenue. On March 31, 2026, the Company amended these licensing agreements to replace sales-based royalty consideration
with fixed annual fees, effective April 1, 2026. For further discussion on the acquisition and Licensing Revenue, refer to Note 8 and
Note 2 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Convertible Notes
On May 22, 2025, the Company issued a May 2025 Note with an original
principal amount of $ 27.0 million to RSLGH. On August 25, 2025, the Company issued an August 2025 Note with an original principal amount
of $ 45.0 million to RSLGH. For further discussion on these notes, refer to Note 9 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Support Services Agreements
On May 20, 2025, the Company
entered into an Amended and Restated Shared Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Vision Management Services,
LLC (“VMS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb, a related party. Under the Services Agreement, VMS will
provide certain administrative, supply chain, operations management, sales and marketing, and technical services to the Company and its
subsidiaries. As consideration for those services, the Company pays VMS service fees equal to (i) 125 % of the costs incurred by VMS in
connection with any services provided by non-dedicated personnel and (ii) 100 % of such costs incurred by VMS in connection with services
provided by dedicated personnel and any third-party costs incurred in connection with the services. The service fees are payable in cash
or, upon mutual agreement of the Company and VMS and to the extent permitted under applicable Nasdaq listing rules, in Common Stock or
in pre-funded warrants, with the value per share of Common Stock or pre-funded warrant being equal to $ 26.68 , the most recent closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of the time the Services Agreement was executed. The maximum
cost for services provided by non-dedicated personnel during the one-year term of the Services Agreement may not exceed $ 3.0 million
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.
On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement
(the “CFO Services Agreement”) with VMS, pursuant to which Brad Asher provides his services as Chief Financial Officer. As
consideration for those services, we pay VMS a monthly fee based on its direct costs in providing such services, with a maximum of $ 72,552
per month. The CFO Services Agreement has a term of one year, is terminable by either party on 90 days’ notice for any or no reason,
and will automatically renew for successive one year terms unless terminated by either party at least thirty days prior to the end of
the applicable term. As a result of the services provided under the Services Agreement and the CFO Services Agreement, we do not have
any direct employees other than our Interim Chief Executive Officer.
Note 17 — Segment Reporting
The Company has determined
that it operates as a single operating and reporting segment in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. This is due to the key decisions
and allocation of resources happening in a centralized manner based on the review of the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker
(“CODM”), Benjamin Kovler, the Company’s Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer , of Operating income from continuing
operations of the Company. This profit measure is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the disaggregation
of sales from hemp-derived THC products (non-licensing) and Licensing Revenue is presented in Note 2 – Revenue. There are no significant
expenses associated with the Licensing Revenue and the CODM does not review expense allocations, amortization expense or specific assets
when reviewing Licensing Revenue.
Note 18 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent
events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements were issued and concluded that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The information contained
in this Quarterly Report is intended to update the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2025 filed with the Securities And Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”) and
presumes that readers have access to, and will have read, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” and other information contained in the Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis also should
be read together with our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The following discussion
contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements appear in a number of places in this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation,
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements are not guarantees
of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and requirements that are difficult to predict or are beyond our control. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We
strongly encourage investors to carefully read the risk factors described in the Form 10-K in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements.
We assume no responsibility to update the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. The following should also be
read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Unless otherwise stated
or the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “RYTHM”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,”
“our,” or similar references mean RYTHM, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Overview
RYTHM, Inc. delivers well-being to consumers through its portfolio
of hemp-derived THC products and iconic licensed brands. The Company’s portfolio of consumer-packaged goods brands includes RYTHM,
incredibles, Dogwalkers, Beboe, &Shine, Doctor Solomon’s, Good Green and Señorita. Our Señorita brand offers consumers
hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages and are sold at top retailers, online and through direct-to-retail partnerships.
The Señorita brand mirrors well-known cocktails like a margarita – in four flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita,
Mango Margarita, Paloma and Ranch Water. Known for its clean, fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita
offers a low-sugar, low-calorie alternative to alcoholic beverages and is available in seventeen U.S. states and Canada including at top
retailers such as Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s. The RYTHM branded beverage comes in two fruit-driven flavors
with effect-based ingredients. Both Señorita and RYTHM hemp-derived beverages are available at Chicago’s iconic United Center,
based on a partnership announced in January 2026, establishing RYTHM as the venue’s official THC sponsor. Other hemp-derived products
including incredibles and Beboe edible products are primarily sold online and through direct-to-retail partnerships. In addition to the
sale of hemp-derived products (“Non-licensing Revenue”), we license our brands to be manufactured and distributed in exchange
for a licensing fee (“Licensing Revenue”).
RYTHM has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation
and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry. Prior to the exit of the extraction business on March 30, 2025, the Company’s
comprehensive extraction product line (“the Extraction Business”), which included hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing,
and lab equipment, empowered cannabis producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally,
prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, the Company’s proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”)
enabled cultivators to produce high quality products for the cannabis industry (the “Cultivation Business”). As the discontinuation
of the Extraction Business and the sale of the Cultivation Business represented strategic shifts that had a major effect on our operations
and financial results, they have been presented in discontinued operations separate from continuing operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025 in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 in our condensed
consolidated balance sheets and applicable footnotes in accordance with ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements . Please refer
to Item 1 and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details on recent developments and significant
transactions during the period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position
and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, recoverability of goodwill, intangible
assets, and other assets (prepaid licensing rights), and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. We base
our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions. Refer to Note 1 included elsewhere in the
notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for further information.
32
Results of Operations
We have a history of recurring
net losses and have incurred losses to date, except for the three months ended March 31, 2026, during which we recognized net income primarily
as a result of a non-cash income tax benefit. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Refer to information provided
under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further details.

Revenue increased by $12.7

driven by the commencement of Licensing Revenue in May and August 2025 as well as the $2.8 million increase in Non-Licensing Revenue.
Of the revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026, $10.0 million was attributable to related parties, as compared to
$80 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold represents costs associated with the hemp-derived
THC product sales (Non-licensing Revenue).
The following table presents our cost of goods sold from continuing
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, all of which relates to non-licensing revenue:

as well as stock-based compensation and travel expenses associated with executive and other administrative functions. Other SG&A expenses
include, but are not limited to, professional fees for legal and accounting services and amortization costs.
SG&A expense increased
by $10.6 million, or 281%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The comparative change is primarily
attributable to marketing and consulting costs to support the growth of the hemp-derived THC products sales in addition to the presentation
of SG&A expense from the Cultivation Business and Extraction Business for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as part of discontinued
operations.

Interest expense, net was $1.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2026, compared to interest income, net of $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change is attributable mainly
to the increase of $80.0 million new borrowings under the Convertible Notes (as that term is defined under “—Indebtedness”
below). Included in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is $1.8 million of interest expense incurred with
a related party and $0.3 million of interest income.
The fair value gain on warrant liabilities decreased by $302 thousand,
or 74%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease reflects a smaller reduction in the
fair value of warrant liabilities during the current period compared to the prior year period.
Other income, net was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to $19 thousand for the same period in 2025.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit was $25.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to nil for the three
months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a $25.6 million non-cash income tax benefit resulting from the release of
the Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was released following the execution
of an amendment to the Company’s license agreement with GTI Core on March 31, 2026, which transitioned licensing fees to a fixed
annual structure and reduced uncertainty in projected future taxable income. Based on this change and sustained projected profitability,
management concluded that sufficient positive evidence exists to support the realizability of its deferred tax assets.
Non-GAAP Measures
“EBITDA” and “Adjusted
EBITDA” are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. The following information provides reconciliations
of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented
in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance
with GAAP, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including
and excluding the adjusted items and believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective
and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not
be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial
measures presented. EBITDA is calculated as Income (loss) from continuing operations before: net interest (expense) income, provision
for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before stock-based compensation and change
in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, our
principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents totaling $33.3 million. Our current working capital needs are to support
revenue growth and manage inventory to meet demand forecasts and support operational growth. Our long-term financial needs primarily
include working capital requirements. There are many factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds in the future,
including the ability to generate cash from operations, raise debt capital and raise cash from the issuance of our securities. The amount
of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business strategy and general economic
conditions.
We may opportunistically
raise debt capital, subject to market and other conditions. Additionally, as part of our growth strategies, we may also raise debt capital
for strategic alternatives and general corporate purposes. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able
to raise such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating
results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We are required to evaluate
whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events,
considered in aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within
one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
We have a history of recurring net losses and negative cash flow in
operating activities. However, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities
and reported net income which was mainly impacted by a non-cash income tax benefit. We believe our $33.3 million of cash and cash equivalents,
anticipated contractual Licensing Revenue and ability to address our Convertible Notes will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements
through at least the 12-month period following the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Convertible Notes maturities
of $80.0 million exist through February 2027, with $72.0 million held by a subsidiary of Green Thumb, a related party. If the holders
of these notes elect to be paid in cash upon maturity could raise substantial doubt about the our ability to continue as a going concern.
However, while these contractual maturities require management attention, management believes it is probable that the obligations will
be addressed through extension or conversion consistent with historical practice. As such, our financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis.
Indebtedness
Convertible Notes
On May 22, 2025, we issued
secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $30.0 million (collectively the “May 2025 Notes”)
to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The May 2025 Notes are secured obligations and rank senior to all of our
indebtedness except for the August 2025 Notes, which ranks on parity with the May 2025 Notes. The May 2025 Notes will mature on November
22, 2026 and accrue interest at a 10.0% annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March
while the May 2025 Notes are outstanding, in pre-funded warrants, beginning September 1, 2025. The principal amount of the May 2025 Notes
will be payable on the maturity date. The May 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded
warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99% and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99%,
in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion
price per share will be $23.53, equal to the most recent closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the time the
May 2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025
Notes into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments payable in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded
warrant will be equal to the $23.53 conversion price less than $0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the May 2025 Notes
into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder
approval under Nasdaq listing rules.
On August 25, 2025, we issued
secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $50.0 million (collectively the “August 2025 Notes”)
to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The August 2025 Notes are secured obligations and rank senior to all of
our indebtedness except for the May 2025 Notes, which rank on parity with the August 2025 Notes. The August 2025 Notes will mature on
February 25, 2027 and accrue interest at a 10.0% annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September
and March, while the August 2025 Notes are outstanding beginning March 1, 2026. The principal amount of the August 2025 Notes will be
payable on the maturity date. The August 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded
warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99% and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99%,
in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion
price per share will be $29.475, equal to the Minimum Price as such term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 at the time the August
2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes
into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments elected to be paid in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded
warrant will be equal to the $29.475 conversion price less than $0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the August 2025
Notes into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt
of stockholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules.
36
The May 2025 Notes and August 2025 Notes (together referred to as “the
Convertible Notes”) impose certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon us, including covenants relating to ranking
and reservation of shares. If an event of default under one or more of the Convertible Notes occurs and is not waived, the holder can
elect to accelerate all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 14% from the date of a default or event of default. We were in
compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2026.

The following discussion
explains the major components contributing to the net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as summarized in the table above. Each section below provides details on the key drivers of the cash inflows
and outflows for the respective periods.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended
March 31, 2026, our operating cash flows included a net income of $19.9 million, which included $3.4 million related to depreciation and
amortization, $25.6 million non-cash deferred income tax benefit, $750 thousand non-cash interest expenses, $570 thousand of stock-based
compensation expense, and $105 thousand gain related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Net cash was increased by changes
in operating assets and liabilities of $1.9 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our operating cash flows
included a net loss of $1.6 million, which included $336 thousand related to depreciation and amortization, $589 thousand of stock-based
compensation expense, $407 thousand gain related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and $3.6 million gain on disposal
of the Extraction Business. Net cash was decreased by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.3 million.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no cash flows from investing activities.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the three months ended
March 31, 2026, there were no cash flows from financing activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing
activities was due to immaterial repayments of notes payable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented,
we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are therefore not exposed to the financing, liquidity,
market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Part I, Item, 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
37
These estimates are based
on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions that we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will
occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant
impact on our financial condition and results of operations and are recorded in the period in which they become known. We have identified
the following estimates that, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis:
the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, net realizable value of inventory, goodwill impairment assessment, intangible assets
and revenue recognition.
The significant accounting
policies and estimates that have been adopted and followed in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are
detailed in Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included in the Form 10-K and Note 1 - Overview,
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item
1 of this Quarterly Report. Other than the addition of the accounting policies related to business combinations and asset acquisitions
described in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, there have been no changes in these
policies and estimates that had a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered in
this Quarterly Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
For more information on
recently issued accounting pronouncements are included within Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,
included elsewhere in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
For more information on
new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are included within Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting
Policies, included elsewhere in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 in this
Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting
company” as defined by 17 C.F.R. § 229.10, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, Management, with the participation
of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies
its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during
the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

conversion price of $29.475. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The offers, sales and issuances of the
securities described in this Item 2 were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving
a public offering. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with
a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these
transactions.
