IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
As
a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging
growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act,”)
as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we may take
advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other exemptions from requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies that
are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:
●
Reduced disclosure about
our executive compensation arrangements;
●
Exemptions from non-binding
shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute; and
●
Exemption from auditor
attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.
We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue
of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of the common equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible
debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
In
addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with
new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards
until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying
with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the
date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period
provided in the JOBS Act.

LQR HOUSE INC.
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
LQR House Inc. (“LQR”
or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 11, 2021, in the state of Delaware. On February 3, 2023, the Company changed
its state of incorporation to the State of Nevada by merging into LQR House Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Company operates primarily
in the beverage alcohol industry, owning specialty brands, providing marketing and distribution services.
Country Wine & Spirits
(“CWS”) Platform
On November 1, 2023, LQR
House Acquisition Corp. (the “Buyer”), a subsidiary of the Company, and SSquared Spirits LLC (the “Seller”) entered
into a Domain Name Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller irrevocably sold, assigned, transferred,
and conveyed to the Buyer (a) all right, title, and interest in and to the domain name www.cwspirits.com (the “Domain Name”,
or “CWS Platform”), including its current registration and (b) any other rights (including, but not limited to, trademark
rights associated with the Domain Name in any jurisdiction, all Internet traffic through the Domain Name and all Website Content (as
defined in the Agreement) the Seller may have in the Domain Name, together with any goodwill associated therewith in exchange for the
payment by the Buyer of the purchase price of $ 10,000 . See Note 4.
The Company’s Chief
Executive Officer, Sean Dollinger, owns 50 % of the equity of the Seller, and the other 50 % is owned by a minority shareholder
of the Company, who is considered a related party. A Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consisting of all independent
directors approved the terms of the Agreement on November 1, 2023. See Note 9.
Reverse Stock Split
On April 16, 2025, the Company
filed a Certificate of Change to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-35 reverse
stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share. The Reverse Split became effective
on April 21, 2025. In connection with Reverse Split, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized
shares of common stock to 10,000,000 . Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying
financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split
Amendment to Articles
of Incorporation
On June 2, 2025, the Company
filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 350,000,000 shares, par value $ 0.0001 per share. The increase was approved by the Company’s
stockholders at the Annual Meeting held on May 30, 2025.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company has not generated
profits since inception and has sustained net losses of $ 4,592,032 and $ 4,636,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company also incurred negative cash flows from operations for the same periods. The Company expects to continue to generate operating
losses for the foreseeable future. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments as a result
of this uncertainty.
Through the date the financial
statements were available to be issued, the Company has been primarily financed through the issuance of capital stock. In the event that
the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses, or obtain financing
through the sale of debt and/or equity securities, which it has done. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing
shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable
to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would
have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Company has several potential
sources of cash including the ability to initiate an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering under its current shelf registration statement,
no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Management’s Plans
In January, 2025, the Company
raised $ 4,051,415 through exercise of warrants, which were converted into shares of common stock.
As of August 12, 2025, the
date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 4,566,936
as of June 30, 2025. In addition, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 26,000,000 from its ATM offering in July 2025. Management
believes these funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months
from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Throughout the next twelve
months, the Company intends to fund its operations from the funds raised through the July 2025 offering. To further support its operations
and growth, the Company may also pursue additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financing, or other strategic
funding sources, including continued use of ATM equity offerings.
5
Based on the current state
of operations, the July 2025 ATM offering, the additional capital sources available to the Company, and the cash on hand at August 12,
2025, the Company believes that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months as of the date
of these financial statements.
There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which
such financing and capital might be available in the future. If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be forced to
curtail or suspend its business plans.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting
policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The
Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The Company is an emerging
growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company
reporting requirements, however, the Company may adopt accounting standards based on the effective dates for public entities when early
adoption is permitted.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LQR House Acquisition Corp. All inter-company transactions
and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information,
within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information
and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the
audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and of the financial condition as of the date of
the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements
related to the six-month periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s
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 financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements
include, but are not limited to the cost method investments and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates
are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its
cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy. Balances
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 . At times, the Company maintains balances in excess
of the federally insured limits.
Concentrations
The Company’s ability
to derive revenue is reliant on its relationship with KBROS, LLC (“KBROS”) who currently handles product for the CWS Platform
and fulfills the products sold by clientele using our marketing services. The discontinuance of such relationship or termination of the
CWS Platform agreements would have a material negative impact on the Company’s operations.

Furthermore, the Company
relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors. The loss of one of these vendors may have a negative short-term
impact on the Company’s operations. However, the Company believes there are acceptable substitute vendors that can be utilized
longer term.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all
highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Investment at cost
In accordance with FASB
ASC Subtopic 321-10-35-2, Investments – Others – Cost Method Investments , investments where the Company does
not have a significant influence are accounted for at cost. The Company reviews all material investments on an annual basis to determine
whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.
In the event the fair value of the investment declines below the cost basis, the Company records an impairment.
As of June 30, 2025, the
Company’s investment in DRNK Beverage Corp continues to be recorded at its impaired carrying value of $ 300,000 , after reflecting
an impairment expense of $ 4,500,000 recognized as of December 31, 2024. That impairment was triggered by company-specific information
and the investee’s performance relative to expectations, as well as general market challenges and reduced prospects for recovery
of the carrying value of the investment. No additional impairments were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company
continues to monitor the situation and will assess the need for any further adjustments in future periods.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities
of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified
and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and
the last is considered unobservable:
●
Level
1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level
2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities,
quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data.
●
Level
3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value
of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
7
There were no transfers
between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 fair value classifications during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The carrying values of the
Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short maturity
of these instruments.
The Company’s investments
are accounted at cost, less impairment. See above and Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are
derived from services and products delivered to customers and are stated at their net realizable value. Each month, the Company reviews
its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known
or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all
means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized
over the respective estimated lives on a straight-line basis, unless the lives are determined to be indefinite and reviewed for impairment
whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company owns domain names
indefinitely. Costs to renew domains are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
The Company continually
monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such
events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the
carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount
over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs
to sell.
Related Parties
Related parties are any
entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements,
such as salaries. The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures , for the identification of related parties and disclosure
of related party transactions.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with FASB
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ¸ the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
●
Identification
of a contract with a customer;
●
Identification
of the performance obligations in the contract;
●
Determination
of the transaction price;
●
Allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
●
Recognition
of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognized when
performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers
once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the
transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
The Company derives its
revenue from marketing services, sales via the CWS Platform, distribution of its SWOL Tequila product and subscription-based membership
revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts.
Marketing Services
The Company contracts with
third-party alcoholic beverage brands to utilize access to the CWS Platform. The Company and the brands enter into a commercial relationship.
The Company performs services such as creating a marketing campaign strategy, developing promotional materials and advertising promotional
materials through the CWS Platform. Revenue is recognized over a period time, as the marketing services are being continually provided
on a daily and monthly basis over the life of an agreed upon campaign. Marketing campaigns generally range from one to three months.
CWS Platform
Cwsspirits.com is an e-commerce
platform that sells wine and spirits. The Company is responsible for contracting with CWS and customers to fulfill orders through the
website. The Company, though not legally able to own alcohol inventory, does take on financial inventory risk. The Company is solely
responsible for any risk of loss of the end customer and paying to replenish the loss order. Additionally, the Company enters into minimum
guaranteed purchase commitments with its vendor that require the Company to pay for shortfalls in minimum purchases. The Company establishes
the price and selection of products to be sold on the CWS Platform, and directs all marketing activities pertaining to the Platform.
As such, the Company is the primary obligor for transactions with customers on the CWS Platform and records gross revenue. Revenue is
recognized at the point in time when products are delivered to the end customer, when LQR has fulfilled its performance obligation, net
of returns.
Product Sales
The Company wholly owns
SWOL Tequila, a tequila produced in limited batches by a third-party manufacturer in Mexico. The Company handles all logistics to
deliver the product to CWS for retail distribution in the United States, including advancing production, shipping, and other
import-related expenses. Under historical agreements, the Company is entitled to receive payment for these costs, plus an
additional fixed premium for each bottle of SWOL Tequila sold via wholesale channels. Revenue is recognized when the product is
delivered, fulfilling the Company’s performance obligation. Due to regulatory restrictions surrounding the delivery and
custodianship of alcoholic beverages, CWS assumes ownership at the time of delivery, with no recourse or right of return.
Vault
Vault is the exclusive membership
program for CWS Platform customers. Through the CWS Platform, users can sign up for membership where they will have access to all products
available through the CWS combined with special membership benefits including discounted products, free shipping and promotional offers. Prior
to the acquisition of the CWS Platform, the Company marketed this membership program on the CWS Platform and was entitled to 50 %
of the revenue from the subscriptions as the agent of the transaction. Upon the acquisition of the CWS Platform, the Company records
gross revenue as it is the principal in the transaction. The Company records a reserve for chargebacks and cancellations at the time
of the transaction based on historical experience.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists
of all direct costs attributable to sales and performing marketing services. Cost of revenue includes product costs, packaging, shipping
and other importing and delivery charges, as well as contracted marketing services. Cost of revenue also includes customer service personnel.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs
primarily consist of advertising, promotional expenses and marketing consulting and advisory services. Sales and marketing costs also
include sales commissions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, advertising costs totaled $ 80,676 and $ 487,529 , respectively,
compared to $ 764,807 and $ 1,551,222 for the same period in 2024.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation
is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”). The Company
measures all equity-based awards granted to employees, independent contractors and advisors based on the fair value on the date of the
grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of
the respective award.
The Company classifies equity-based
compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll or contractor costs
are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
10
Segment Information
In accordance with ASC 280,
Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and
evaluated. ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products,
services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate
financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”),
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM has been identified
as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources
and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable
segment.
The key measures of segment
profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are revenue and operating costs. These metrics are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and
forecast cash. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned
with all agreements and budget.
Net Loss per Share
Net earnings or loss per
share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding
shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings
or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially
dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share
if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, diluted
net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2025
include the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units (See Note 8).
Recently Issued and
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

4. ACQUISITION OF CWS PLATFORM
On November 1, 2023, LQR
House Acquisition Corp. (the “Buyer”), a subsidiary of the Company, and SSquared Spirits LLC (the “Seller”, “SSquared”)
entered into a Domain Name Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller irrevocably sold, assigned,
transferred, and conveyed to the Buyer (a) all right, title, and interest in and to the domain name www.cwspirits.com (the “Domain
Name”, “CWS Platform”), including its current registration and (b) any other rights (including, but not limited to,
trademark rights associated with the Domain Name in any jurisdiction, all Internet traffic through the Domain Name and all Website Content
(as defined in the Agreement) the Seller may have in the Domain Name, together with any goodwill associated therewith in exchange for
the payment by the Buyer of the purchase price of $ 10,000 .
In connection with the Company’s
purchase of the Domain Name, on November 1, 2023, the Company entered into a product handling agreement (“Product Handling Agreement”)
with KBROS LLC (“KBROS”). Pursuant to the Product Handling Agreement:
Commencing as of the Effective
Date of this Agreement, Product Handler shall provide to the Company the following services relating to the purchase and delivery (“Handling”)
of spirits and other beverage products (referred to herein as “Product” and the “Products”) purchased by customers
of the Company through or in relation to websites associated with the Domain:
●
Purchase
of Products to be delivered to customers of the Company, delivery of such Products, and related receipt of returns of Products and
delivery of replacements of the Products from time to time, necessary for the operation of the Business by the Company, pursuant
to orders for the Products by the Company’s customers generated as the result of sales, promotion and marketing of the Products
through the Website (sale, promotion and marketing of the Products through the Website is collectively referred to herein as “Processing”);
●
Procurement
and maintenance of all certificates, licenses, authorizations and registrations required to import, possess, promote, sell, distribute
and receive payment for the Products and compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable thereto and to the operation
of the Website and conduct of sales and Processing of the Products, as reasonably deemed necessary by the Company;
Under Regulation S-X 3-05,
management determined that the CWS Platform acquisition constituted a business combination as the revenue producing activity (e-commerce
sales) was expected to be similar both pre and post-domain name acquisition. As such, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $ 10,000
for the purchase price consideration of the domain name.
Management assessed the
fair value of the Domain Name and CWS Platform in determining to allocate the $ 10,000 to the domain name. In making such determination,
management considered the related party nature of the transaction, the current environment for direct-to-consumer alcoholic beverage
companies and the related competition in which they operate, and the fact that the initial and continued operation of the CWS platform
is completely dependent on the relationship between the Company, our CEO and a minority shareholder, who co-owned SSquared and operates
KBROS, LLC (“KBROS”, or “Product Handler”), the Company’s contracted product handler. Without such relationship,
which can be terminated in certain circumstances, the underlying CWS Platform would be unable to operate as intended until a suitable
alterative product handler would be identified. Therefore, no fair value in excess of the consideration provided was considered.
The Company has consolidated
the results of operations of the CWS Platform since November 1, 2023.

5. INVESTMENTS, AT COST
The Company’s investments
at cost includes a minority stake in the common shares of Cannon Estate Winery Ltd and DRNK Beverage Corp. These investments are primarily
held for strategic purposes.
Cannon Estate Winery
Ltd.
On May 19, 2024, the Company
and a majority shareholder and a director (the “Seller”) of Cannon Estate Winery Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (“Cannon”)
consummated an acquisition of approximately 9.99 % of common shares of Cannon by the Company pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (“Cannon
Agreement”) between the Company and the Seller. Pursuant to the Cannon Agreement, the Seller transferred and delivered to the Company
113,085 of the common shares of Cannon (the “Cannon Shares”), and in exchange the Company issued and delivered to the Seller
750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company recorded an
investment of $ 817,500 , which is the fair value of the 750,000 shares issued to Cannon at a fair value per share of $ 1.09 on May 19,
2024. The Company accounted for the investment in Cannon under the cost method as it owns 9.99 % of Cannon’s common shares and does
not exert significant influence.
Chase Mocktails Ltd
(f/k/a DRNK Beverage Corp.)
On June 7, 2024, the Company
consummated an acquisition of approximately 8.58 % of common shares of DRNK Beverage Corp. (“DRNK”) pursuant to a Subscription
Agreement (“DRNK Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company subscribed for and purchased from DRNK 1,920,000 common
shares of DRNK at a price of $ 2.50 per share for an aggregate amount of $ 4,800,000 . Upon the closing of the DRNK Agreement, the Company
reclassified $ 4,800,000 which was held as a deposit in escrow to investments on the consolidated balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2024,
the Company recognized an impairment expense of $ 4,500,000 related to its investment in DRNK based on impairment indicators
on DRNK’s financial performance and DRNK’s progress as compared to initial expectations. In determining the impairment, management
used a market approach using projected revenue information obtained from DRNK and market multiples for companies in similar industry
segments.
As of June 30, 2025, the
investment continues to be carried at its impaired value of $ 300,000 . No further impairment indicators or observable price changes were
identified during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The Company continues to monitor this investment and will assess the need
for any future adjustments as conditions warrant.
6. PREPAID JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENTS
As of June 30, 2025, the
Company had recorded $ 8,166,988 in prepaid joint venture agreements related to payments made in anticipation of entering into joint venture
agreements. The agreements will represent a strategic collaboration with TikTok. Under the proposed agreements, the Company’s newly
formed subsidiary, YHC Online Ltd., has signed a Multi-Channel Network (MCN) agency services contracts to develop, manage, and monetize
creator-led content on the TikTok platform.
The Company expects that
in addition to direct monetization through TikTok, the collaboration will enable broader cross-platform campaign execution across TikTok,
Meta, and Google to create a foundation for a vertically integrated digital marketing operation that will support the Company's future
growth initiatives.
As of June 30, 2025, the
agreements had not been finalized. Accordingly, the Company classified these amounts as prepaid joint venture agreements on the consolidated
balance sheet. Management expects these agreements to be executed and operationalized in subsequent periods, at which time the prepayments
will be reclassified to the appropriate investment and accounted for in accordance with ASC 323.

Split, the par value per share remained unchanged. All share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2025
and 2024, service revenues were $15,319 and $39,980, respectively. Service revenues are earned as we contract with third-party alcoholic
beverage brands to utilize access to the CWS Platform, as well as vault memberships. The decrease of $24,661, or approximately 62%, was
primarily due to a lower volume of marketing services provided during the current period compared to the prior year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, product
revenues were $483,209 compared to $517,937 in the similar 2024 period. The decrease by $34,728 compared to 2024 was primarily attributable
to a decrease in sales volume through the CWS Platform during the quarter. The reduction in revenue reflects lower customer traffic and
order activity on cwsspirits.com, which the Company believes was driven by seasonal fluctuations and less promotional activity compared
to the prior year period.
20
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit (Loss)
For the three months ended June 30, 2025
and 2024, service cost of revenues were $0 and $69,023, respectively. Cost of service decreased by $69,023 in 2025. The decrease of $69,023
was primarily due to overall decline in service-related activity compared to the prior year.
Product cost of revenues was $414,022 and $641,084
during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in product revenue during the period,
resulting from lower sales volume on the CWS Platform.
Gross profit was $85,906 for the three months
ended June 30, 2025, compared to a gross loss of $(152,190) for the same period in 2024. The gross loss in 2024 was primarily attributable
to the Company’s strategic transition from marketing services toward a focus on the CWS Platform. In 2025, management continues
to explore initiatives aimed at improving gross margin performance, including customer acquisition efforts and the formation of new strategic
partnerships to drive higher transaction volume through the platform.
General and Administrative
For the three months ended June 30, 2025
and 2024, general and administrative expenses were $2,207,612 and $1,357,395, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to
higher professional fees, and administrative costs incurred during the current period.
Sales and Marketing
For the three months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024, sales and marketing expenses were $80,676 and $764,807 respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of
website development costs in the current period. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company continuing to record significant expenses
related to a website development agreement with X-Media entered into in October 2023. The absence of similar charges in 2025 contributed
to the decline in sales and marketing expenses.

30, 2025 and 2024 was $2,202,382 and $2,209,293, respectively.

Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, service revenues were $92,675 and $83,771, respectively. Service revenues are earned as we contract with third-party alcoholic
beverage brands to utilize access to the CWS Platform, as well as vault memberships. The increase of $8,904, or approximately 11%, driven
by a higher volume of memberships services during the first quarter of 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, product
revenues were $835,193 compared to $955,240 in the similar 2024 period. The decrease by $120,047 compared to 2024 was primarily attributable
to a decrease in sales volume through the CWS Platform during the quarter. The reduction in revenue reflects lower customer traffic and
order activity on cwsspirits.com, which the Company believes was driven by less promotional activity compared to the prior year period.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit (Loss)
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, service cost of revenues were $1,400 and $106,231, respectively. Cost of service revenues decreased by $104,831 in 2025. The decrease
of $104,831 was primarily due to the overall decline in service-related activity compared to the prior year.
Product cost of revenues was $811,804 and $1,164,467
during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The decrease of $352,663 was primarily due to the decline in product revenue during
the period, resulting from lower sales volume on the CWS Platform.
Gross profit (loss) was $114,664 and ($231,687)
for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The gross loss in 2024 was primarily attributable to the Company’s strategic transition
from marketing services toward a focus on the CWS Platform. In 2025, management continues to explore initiatives aimed at improving gross
margin performance, including customer acquisition efforts and the formation of new strategic partnerships to drive higher transaction
volume through the platform.
General and Administrative
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, general and administrative expenses were $4,230,773 and $2,963,856, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to higher
professional fees and administrative costs incurred during the current period.
Sales and Marketing
For the six months ended June 30, 2025

development costs in the current period. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded significant expenses related to a website
development agreement with X-Media entered into in October 2023, which was fully written off during 2024. The absence of similar charges
in 2025 contributed to the decline in sales and marketing expenses.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024 was $4,592,032 and $4,636,685, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,566,936 and $5,386,789 respectively. To date, we have financed our operations
primarily through issuances of common stock and sales of our products and services.
During the six months
ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised an aggregate of $15,610,483 in net proceeds through issuance of commons stock. The Company issued
2,361,112 shares of common stock pursuant to at-the-market offering agreement, dated September 13, 2024, between the Company and H.C.
Wainwright & Co., LLC, for net proceeds of $11,559,068. Additionally, the Company received net proceeds of $4,051,415 from the issuance
of 210,463 shares of common stock pursuant to exercise of warrants.
In July 2025, the Company
raised approximately $26,000,000 through issuance of common stock pursuant to at-the-market offering agreement.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $4,592,032 and $4,636,685 for the
six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and has negative cash flows from operations of $8,263,348 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company requires additional capital to operate and expects losses to continue for the foreseeable future.
Throughout the next twelve months, the Company
intends to fund its operations from the funds raised through the July 2025 ATM offering. To further support its operations and growth,
the Company may also pursue additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financing, or other strategic funding
sources, including continued use of ATM equity offerings.
Based on the current state of operations, the
July 2025 ATM offering , the additional capital sources available to the Company, and the cash on hand at August 12, 2025, the Company
believes that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. Management believes
that the Company has sufficient capital to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months as of the date of these financial
statements.
There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which
such financing and capital might be available in the future. If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be forced to
curtail or suspend its business plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
This discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based
on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are
described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following
accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant
areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
There have been no material changes in our critical
accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting
company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are not
required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated
by the Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Even disclosure controls and procedures determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance that their objectives
are achieved.
As of June 30, 2025, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e))
pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective at a reasonable assurance level.
Our size has prevented us from being able to employ
sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively
segregate accounting duties which comprise a material weakness in internal controls. We also lack effective board oversight and formal
accounting controls for the timely and accurate closing of financial information.
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited
resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, increasing the capacity of
our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we
have adequate control over our Exchange Act reporting disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control
procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our six months ended June
30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company as defined by
Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure
reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item. In any event, there have been
no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Unless otherwise noted, the securities above
