LQR HOUSE INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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
unaudited condensed consolidated 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 $ 21,420,945 and $ 8,000,066 for the nine months ended September 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments as a result of this uncertainty.
Through to the date the unaudited
condensed consolidated 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 future equity or debt financings,
its prior an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC expired pursuant to its terms,
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms.
Management’s Plans
In January 2025, the Company
raised $ 4,051,415 through exercise of warrants, which were converted into shares of common stock.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $ 43,201,415 from the issuance of 13,434,601 shares under its at-the-market (“ATM”)
equity offering program. As of September 30, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $ 10,039,230 . Management believes that
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ATM offering program with H.C. Wainwright
& Co, LLC, expired pursuant to its terms in September 2025, and no additional sales will be made under the program.
5
Based on the current operational
outlook, the availability of additional potential capital sources, and existing cash on hand available as of September 30, 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 unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
However, 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 unaudited condensed
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
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 condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
related to the nine-month periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited
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
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated 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.
6
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 September 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, advertising costs totaled $ 358,711 and $ 846,240 , respectively,
compared to $ 1,919,125 and $ 3,470,348 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 September 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 September 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 unaudited condensed
consolidated 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.

Settled Legal Matter
On or about July 11, 2025,
the Company, along with over two dozen parties including several officers and directors of the Company, has been named as a defendant
in an action before the Eight Judicial District, Clark County, Nevada titled Kingbird Ventures, LLC (“Kingbird”) v. Sean
Dollinger, et al. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties, violations of the Nevada Revised Statutes
78.650, 78.630, 207.400 90.570 and 32.010, alter ego liability, civil conspiracy (the “Complaint”). The Complaint seeks,
among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, a declaratory judgment, a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction
freezing the Company’s assets, the assets of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Sean Dollinger, the assets of any of
the other defendants controlled by Sean Dollinger and others, injunctive relief to prevent any further material corporate decisions by
the Company, for the court to restrain the Company, its directors, officers and stockholders from making any significant
changes to the Company’s governance or capital structures to further entrench the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
On September 22, 2025, the
Company entered into two settlement agreements with Kingbird Ventures and other parties named therein (the “Settlement Agreements”)
to resolve matters related to this litigation. The First Settlement Agreement resolved the direct claims asserted by Kingbird Ventures
against the Company and other defendants and provides for (i) dismissal of all such direct claims with prejudice, (ii) mutual releases
among the parties, (iii) a cash payment obligation of $ 13,000,000 from the Nevada Defendants (as defined in the First Settlement
Agreement), and (iv) customary provisions, including no admission of liability and confidentiality.
The Second Settlement Agreement
resolved the stockholder derivative claims brought on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors.
The Second Settlement Agreement provides for (i) dismissal of the derivative action with prejudice, subject to court approval, (ii) mutual
releases among the parties, and (iii) customary provisions, including no admission of liability, cooperation undertakings, and confidentiality.
Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreements, a total payment of $ 7,500,000 has been made in September 2025, and as of September 30, 2025, a remaining balance of $ 5,500,000
is recorded under accrued expenses on the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet. The entire settlement amount of $ 13,000,000
has been recognized as a legal settlement expense within “Other expense” in the statement of operations for the quarter ended
September 30, 2025. The settlement represents a non-recurring, non-operational charge and is presented within “Other expense”
to distinguish it from the Company’s ongoing business operations.
As of the date of issuance
of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management believes that no additional material loss contingency exists
in connection with this matter. The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course
of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome,
if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
