Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name
from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”) to pursue
the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business as acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC. Our common stock is traded
on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”. At that time, o ur common stock
started to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”, from the former trading symbol “ANFC”. Prior
to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded company
when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business of acquiring
oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana and /or
managing similar assets for third parties.
On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an
equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $ 5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The
proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
On October 10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored
special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed an IPO raising $ 138,000,000 of gross
proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 18, 2017). In addition, the
Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $ 10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total contribution of $ 4,450,000 in order
to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses
or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region.
Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC and managed BRAC’s operations via a
management services agreement. On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination agreement, which subsequently closed on
August 9, 2019.
On October 1, 2020, the
Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s
freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered into certain employment and registration rights agreements.
On February 5, 2021,
the Company raised over $ 2.5 million of capital from the sale of 631,250 newly issued shares at a share price of $ 4.00 in a private placement.
The proceeds were used to find capital expenditures and working capital investment.
On May 5, 2021, the Company
announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged goods (CPG) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launched with
its first line of non-GMO products including 6 ready-to-make smoothies and 9 snacks.
On July 7, 2021, the
Company raised over $ 3 million of capital from the sale of 714,701 newly issued shares at a share price of $ 4.25 in a private placement.
Investors in the private placement included Sow Good’s Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, and Chief Financial Officer,
in addition to other Sow Good board members and a small group of accredited investors. The proceeds were used to invest in inventory ahead
of pursuing larger business-to-business relationships, as well as funding incremental capital expenditures and general operating expenses.

On July 23, 2021, we
launched six new gluten-free granola products under the Sow Good brand. Sow Good’s granola products are made with health-conscious
ingredients such as freeze-dried fruit, almonds, hemp hearts, and coconut oil. Granola products are initially being sold direct-to-consumer
and will later be targeted to the business-to-business segment.
On December 31, 2021,
we sold an aggregate $ 2,075,000 of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate 311,250 shares of common stock to related parties,
representing 15,000 warrant shares per $ 100,000 of promissory notes. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $ 2.21 per share over a
ten-year term. The proceeds will be used for working capital investment and to ramp up our freeze-dried consumer packaged goods business.
On
April 8, 2022, we sold an aggregate $ 3,700,000 of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate 925,000 shares of common
stock, including $ 3,120,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate 570,000 shares of common stock, to related parties .
The warrants are exercisable at a price of $ 2.35 per share over a ten-year term. These proceeds will also be used for working capital
investment and to ramp up our freeze-dried consumer packaged goods business.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant
Accounting Policies
The interim condensed financial statements included
herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not
make the information presented misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, which
in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed,
all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-05,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying
amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair
value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring
basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company
had $ 1,266,071 of cash in excess of FIDC and SIPC insured limits at March 31, 2022, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

SOW GOOD INC.
Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower
of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method
based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
Schedule of estimated useful lives of assets
Software
3 years, or over the life of the agreement
Website
3 years
Office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 years
Leasehold improvements
Fully extended lease-term
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged
to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated
over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation expense was $ 72,954 and $ 4,996
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company
are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings
before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds
to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows
of future operations.
Our intellectual property
is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these
brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by
taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of raw materials, material
overhead, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the average cost or net realizable value and consists of the following:
Schedule of inventory
March 31,
December 31,
2022

Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis
in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are
not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse
action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The
impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the
fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which
utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in an impairment loss of $ 1,524,030 for the year ended December 31,
2021.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC” 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue
from the sale of its freeze-dried food products, in accordance with a five-step model in which the
Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods or
services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods
or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company
performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in
the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has elected, as a practical
expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Revenue is
reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent
on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments
in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on industry-based historical data, historical sales
returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued
to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant
to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists
of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued
is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance
by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Stock-based
compensation was $ 144,261 and $ 375,891 , consisting entirely of expenses related to common stock and options issued for services for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to
6.5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to
7 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date. In addition, $ 59,724 of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in
consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and
laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new
accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as
of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 , Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
from Contracts with Customers, which creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle for contract assets
and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The new guidance will require companies to
apply the definition of a performance obligation under accounting standard codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 to recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a
business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer in a business combination is generally required to recognize and measure the assets
it acquires and the liabilities it assumes at fair value on the acquisition date. The new guidance will result in the acquirer recording
acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under
ASC Topic 606. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The
adoption of ASU 2021-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04,
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation (Topic
718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting
for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options . ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s
accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption
of ASU 2021-04 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 establishing Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform . ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients
for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance is optional and is
effective between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The guidance may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur.
We are currently evaluating the impact that the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to
as LIBOR, to alternative references rates will have on our financial statements as well as the applicability of the aforementioned expedients
and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04.
In August
2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and
Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) : Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing
the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to
calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if converted method. The new guidance
is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021,
with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or
related disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued
or effective during the period ended March 31, 2022, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements,
as of March 31, 2022, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $ 45,104,556 , and
had cash on hand of $ 1,814,988 . We are too early in our development stage to project revenue with a necessary level of certainty; therefore,
we may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund
our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has
commenced sales and continues to develop its operations, and the Company raised an additional $3.7 million from
the sale of Promissory Notes and Warrants in April, as noted in our subsequent events footnote.
In the event sales do not materialize at the expected
rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising
additional capital.
Note 4 – Related Party
Common Stock Payable Awarded to Officers
On March
25, 2022, the Company issued 5,541 and 6,044 shares of common stock to Claudia and Ira Goldfarb , respectively, in satisfaction
of an outstanding common stock payable for services earned during December 31, 2021. The
aggregate fair value of the shares was $ 12,467 and $ 13,599 for Claudia and Ira, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
Lease Agreement
Upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas,
from IG Union Bower, LLC (“Union Bower”), an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb, under which Union Bower is the landlord.
The lease term is through September 15, 2025 , with two five-year
options to extend, at a monthly lease term of $ 10,036 ,
with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-5,
fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy
in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets
and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at
fair value.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities
are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.),
and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated
inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that
reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

enter into a new lease upon expiration. The operating and office facility lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes,
utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide
implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in
determining the present value of lease payments.

Warrants Exercised or Expired
No warrants were exercised or expired during the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Note 15 – Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
Topic 740, Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed
to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated
for income tax purposes.
Losses incurred during the period from April 9,
2011 (inception) to March 31, 2022 could be used to offset future tax liabilities. Accounting standards require the consideration of a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of
deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2022, net deferred tax assets were $ 7,864,739 , with no deferred tax liability,
primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $ 7,864,739 was applied to the net deferred
tax assets. Therefore, the Company has no tax expense for 2022 to date.
In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has
evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on, or before March 31, 2022.

Note 16 – Commitments
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject from time to time to
various inquiries, administrative proceedings and litigation relating to matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company
is not currently a defendant in any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that could have a material effect
on the Company. Management is not able to estimate the minimum loss to be incurred, if any, as a result of the final outcome of the matters
arising in the normal course of business but believes they are not likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial
position or results of operations and, accordingly, no provision for loss has been recorded.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
The Company periodically maintains cash balances
at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The extent of loss, if any, to be sustained as a result of any future failure of a bank
or other financial institution is not subject to estimation at this time.
Lease Commitments
Upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, under
which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two five-year options
to extend, at a monthly lease term of $ 10,036 , with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
The future minimum lease payments due under operating leases as of
March 31, 2022 was as follows:

Note 17 – Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred
after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued.
Debt Financing
On April
8, 2022 , the Company closed a private placement and concurrently entered into a Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell an aggregate $3,700,000
of Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase an aggregate 925,000 shares of common stock, representing 25,000 warrant shares per
$100,000 of promissory notes. Accrued interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually beginning June 30, 2022 at the rate of 6%
per annum, and the principal amount of the Notes matures and becomes due and payable on April 8, 2025. The Warrants are exercisable immediately
and for a period of 10 years at a price of $2.35 per share. Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities were $3,700,000. The
Company may redeem outstanding warrants prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per share, provided that the volume weighted average
sale price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $9.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the third business
day prior to the mailing of notice of such redemption. Assuming full exercise thereof, further proceeds to the Company from the exercise
of the Warrant Shares is calculated as $2,173,750. The Offering closed simultaneously with execution of the Purchase Agreement. Of the
aggregate $3,700,000 of Notes, a total of $3,120,000 of Notes were sold to officers or directors.
21
Common Stock Issued to Advisory Board Members
On April 20,
2022, the Company issued 4,000 shares to each of two advisory board members for their services.
The total aggregate fair value of the shares was $20,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant.

common stock on the date of grant.
Departure of CFO
On April
30, 2022, Mr. Brad Burke resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Claudia

which entitles Mr. Burke to receive an amount equal to the base salary that he would have received for a three-month period (“Severance
Pay”), and the accelerated vesting of options to purchase an aggregate 75,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise
price of $4.09 per share, along with an extension of the time period to exercise such stock option agreements to the fifth anniversary
of the separation.
Options Granted
On April 1, 2022, a total of twenty employees
and consultants were granted options to purchase an aggregate 63,477 shares of the Company’s common stock, having an exercise price
of $2.75 per share, exercisable over a 10-year term, including options to purchase 27,500 shares issued to Mr. Burke. The options will
vest 60% on the third anniversary, and 20% each anniversary thereafter until fully vested.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Cautionary Statements
We are including the following
discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our
company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities
law affords.
From time to time, our management
or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company.
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy,
plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report,
forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,”
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,”
“seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions
that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market
size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:
· volatility or decline of our stock price;
· low trading volume and illiquidity of our common stock;
· potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
· inability to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our financial obligations;
· failure to obtain sufficient sales and distributions for our freeze-dried product offerings;
· supply chain disruption and delay;
· transportation, labor, and raw material cost increases;
· litigation, disputes and legal claims involving outside parties; and
· risks related to our ability to be traded on the OTCQB and meeting trading requirements
We have based these forward-looking
statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions
to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties,
most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially
from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are urged not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect
any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our
business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if
the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
23
Overview and Outlook
We continue to sell our products
online via our direct-to-consumer channels, in addition to our growing pipeline of business-to-business customers. In March of 2021, we
completed the construction of our first freeze drier and, in antiparticipation of the increased production demands for our products and
freeze-drying expertise, we are in the development process of our second and third freeze driers.
During the first quarter of
2022, we expanded our ‘Sustain Us’ brand, which offers a line of granolas, snacks, and soups that are marketed toward outdoor
adventure activities, everyday snacking and meal prep needs, and long-term food storage. During 2021, we completed build-out of our production
facility and launched our direct-to-consumer freeze dried consumer packaged goods (CPG) food brand, under our Sow Good brand. Sow Good
launched eleven ready-to-blend smoothies, nine fruit snacks, and six vegetable snacks. The smoothie lineup offers a mix of both new and
familiar flavors: Açaí of Relief (açaí, blueberry); Mint to Be (banana, coconut, mint); and Berry Apeeling
(banana, strawberry). Sow Good’s packaged snack lineup includes fruits and vegetables such as Mon Cherry (cherries) and What’s
the Dill (sweet potato chips with dill). We also launched four new gluten-free granola products under the Sow Good brand. Sow Good’s
granola products are made with health-conscious ingredients such as freeze dried fruits, almonds, and hemp hearts. Our unique food products
are targeting the large, and growing, freeze dried food market.
With the extensive freeze
dried manufacturing and business development experience of our senior management team, we are confident that we are well positioned to
lead the Company's growth and development in the freeze dried food industry.
Going Concern Uncertainty
As of March 31, 2022, the
Company had incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $45,104,556, and had cash on hand of $1,814,988.
We are too early in our development stage to project revenue with a necessary level of certainty; therefore, we may not have sufficient
funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has commenced sales and continues
to develop its operations. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or
would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these
objectives.
The Company has incurred recurring
losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, experienced net negative cash flows from operations, and, as set forth above,
the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. We continue to pursue sources of additional capital through
various financing transactions or arrangements, including equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable
financing transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not
succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our business. Our ability to scale production and distribution
capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited financial statements do not include
any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenues
Revenues consist primarily
of online freeze-dried foods product sales. The revenues were $48,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as we continued
to launch our product lines. The Company did not earn any revenues during the comparative three months ended March 31, 2021. We anticipate
increased revenues over the remainder of the year, although there can be no assurance.
25
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 were $47,491, primarily consisting of material costs and labor on the sales of freeze-dried food products,
resulting in a gross profit of approximately 2% during the quarter. The Company did not have any cost of goods sold during the comparative
three months ended March 31, 2021.
General and administrative expenses
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $916,155, compared to $757,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase
of $159,011, or 21%, Salaries and benefits included stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $144,261,
compared to $375,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $231,630, or 62%. Stock-based compensation consists
of $134,261 and $121,221 of stock options expense incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $10,000
and $254,670 of expense related to shares of common stock issued to officers and consultants for services rendered in the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to increased operations as we developed
our freeze-dried food operations, as partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation, as management accepted stock-based compensation
in lieu of cash in the comparative period.
Professional services
Professional services were
$62,693 for the 2022 period, compared to $101,899 for the 2021 period, a decrease of $39,206, or 38%. The decrease was primarily due to
legal fees incurred in connection with creating our brand in the comparative period that were not necessary in the current period.
Other general and administrative expenses
Other general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $405,076, compared to $286,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2021,
an increase of $118,255, or 41%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased administrative infrastructure as we seek to scale
the production and sales of our freeze-dried products.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $65,226, compared to $4,996 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase
of $60,230, or 1,206%. The increase is attributable to the addition of new equipment placed in service throughout 2021.
Other income (expense)
In the three months ended
March 31, 2022, other expense was $103,793, consisting of $44,069 of interest expense on our EIDL loan with the SBA and loans from our
officers and directors, and $59,724 related to the amortization of warrants issued as a debt discount on the loans from our officers and
directors. During the comparative three months ended March 31, 2021, other income, on a net basis, was $342,983, consisting of a
$113,772 gain on early extinguishment of debt and a net gain on investments in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities of $230,723,
as offset by $1,512 of interest expense derived from the operating loans the Company received from the PPP and EIDL programs.
26
Net loss
Net loss for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 was $1,552,062, compared to $807,877 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increased net loss of
$744,185, or 92%. The increased net loss was due primarily to $297,409 of increased operating losses over the prior year, as we ramped
up our operations, and prior years gains of $113,772 and $230,723 on the forgiveness of our PPP loan and gains on the sale of our investments
in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities in the comparative period.

of $287,727. The increase was primarily due to our increased net loss.
Net cash used in investing
activities were $48,342 and $696,745 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a period over period decrease
of $648,403. Cash used in investing activities were comprised of $44,726 of fixed asset purchases, as we built out our freeze-dried foods
warehouse and equipment, and $3,616 of purchases on trademarks during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $38,208 of fixed
asset purchases, along with $658,537 of construction in progress costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
27
There were no financing activities
during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,525,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. All of the 2021 activity was the result of the $2,525,000 we raised from the sale
of an aggregate 631,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.00 per share, and another $3,037,511 raised from the sale of
an aggregate 714,701 shares sold at $4.25 per share .
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for
the next 12 months
As of March 31, 2022, our
balance of cash was $1,814,988 and we had total working capital of $3,168,852. B ased on projections
of cash expenditures in the Company’s current business plan, the cash on hand as of March 31, 2022 would be insufficient to
sustain operations over the next year. We expect to incur significant costs related to the development and operation of our freeze-dried
foods business which will put a strain on our cash resources. Should the Company be successful in launching its products, we may pursue
the expansion of our production capabilities through the construction of a third freeze drier. Adding a third freeze drier would require
approximately $1 million of incremental capital and would likely require the Company to identify additional sources of funding .
O ur plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on hand
and additional financing in the form of equity or debt as needed. On April 8, 2022, we raised $3.7 million from the sale of Promissory
Notes and Warrants, including $3,120,000 received from related parties, resulting in approximately $4.4 million of cash on hand as
of May 1, 2022. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely
dependent on our success in raising additional capital .
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion
and analysis of financial conditions 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, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate
these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these
estimates.
Our critical accounting policies
are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the
footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our management, under the
direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, who is one and the same, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2022. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal
control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has concluded
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022 to ensure that the information required
to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
There have been no changes
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected
or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
