[10-K] Splash Beverage Group, Inc. Files Annual Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) has filed its Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2024. The filing confirms a net loss of $23.8 million for 2024, expanding the accumulated deficit to $155.8 million. The independent auditor, Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, issued a going-concern warning citing continued operating losses, negative cash flow and the need for near-term capital.

Liquidity & capital measures: • 1 June 2025—CEO Robert Nistico bought 1,000 Series A preferred shares for $1,000. • 25 June 2025—Company raised $650,000 by issuing 650 Series A-1 preferred shares plus 325,000 warrants. • Same date—agreed with noteholders to exchange $12.67 million of debt into 126,710 Series B preferred shares, a step toward regaining NYSE American equity compliance. • 26 June 2025—acquired Costa Rican aquifer water rights (or $20 million alternative consideration) for 20,000 Series C preferred shares.

Capital structure actions: • 27 March 2025—implemented a 1-for-40 reverse stock split to lift per-share price; post-split shares outstanding were 1,899,876 (30 June 2025). • Multiple preferred‐stock designations (Series A, A-1, B, C) materially change capitalization and may dilute common shareholders.

Listing status: • 7 April 2025—NYSE Regulation commenced delisting proceedings after SBEV failed to regain compliance with equity thresholds under Sections 1003(a)(i-iii). • 16 April 2025—received an additional notice of non-compliance for missing the 10-K filing deadline.

Governance changes: • CFO Julius Ivancsits resigned effective 18 Feb 2025; William Devereux appointed CFO 20 Mar 2025. • Independent director Dr. John Paglia resigned effective 7 Mar 2025; Thomas Fore appointed director 20 Mar 2025. • The filing reports a material weakness in revenue-recognition controls, targeted for remediation in 2025.

Operations & strategy: Splash markets SALT flavored tequila, Copa Di Vino single-serve wines, and Pulpoloco sangria, supported by the Qplash e-commerce platform (>1,500 SKUs). The TapouT sports-drink license was terminated in Q1 2024. Production of key brands relies on third-party co-packers and a company-owned facility in Oregon. The company employs 21 people.

Key risks highlighted include continued operating losses, limited liquidity, dependence on successful capital raising, supply-chain cost inflation, pending NYSE delisting and evolving regulatory hurdles. Management states it may not be able to continue as a going concern without additional financing.

Positive

• Debt-for-equity exchange converted $12.67 million of notes into preferred stock, reducing leverage and aiding NYSE equity compliance.
• $650,000 fresh capital raised via Series A-1 preferred issue provides short-term working capital.
• Acquisition of Costa Rican aquifer rights could open a strategic water source or yield $20 million alternative consideration.

Negative

• Going-concern warning from independent auditor indicates substantial doubt about near-term viability.
• NYSE American delisting proceedings and filing delinquency threaten share liquidity and valuation.
• $23.8 million net loss in 2024 increased accumulated deficit to $155.8 million, with no profitability timeline.
• Material weakness in internal controls over revenue recognition exposes the company to misstatement risk.
• 1-for-40 reverse split signals distressed share price and potential investor dilution alongside multiple preferred issuances.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Heavy losses, going-concern warning and NYSE delisting risk outweigh modest capital raises.

The 10-K confirms a worsening financial profile: a $23.8 million annual loss, negative equity and auditor doubt about survivability. Although management executed a debt-for-equity swap and minor preferred equity raises, total new cash ($0.65 million) is negligible against cumulative deficits. The 1-for-40 reverse split is cosmetic and did not avert NYSE Regulation's delisting action. Operational dependence on niche brands and third-party co-packers limits margin expansion, while the terminated TapouT licence removes a potential growth vector. Investors face high dilution risk from four new preferred classes and warrants. Without a sizable capital injection or sharp revenue growth, insolvency remains a material possibility.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Board and C-suite turnover plus material control weakness raise governance red flags.

Departure of the CFO and an independent director within weeks, coupled with NYSE delisting proceedings, signals governance stress. While replacements were named quickly, experience gaps remain—new CFO William Devereux is the former VP Finance but inherits weak controls. The disclosed material weakness in revenue recognition, if unremediated, heightens restatement risk. Preferred-stock issuances to insiders (Series A to CEO for $1,000) and to accredited investors on advantageous terms may create misalignment with common shareholders. The board must prioritise control remediation, audit-chair recruitment and shareholder-equity restoration to maintain any exchange listing.

Item 1. Business.

Company Overview

Splash is a portfolio company managing multiple brands across several growth segments within the consumer beverage industry. Splash has built organizational capabilities and an infrastructure enabling it to incubate and/or acquire brands with the intention of efficiently accelerating them to higher volume and sales revenue. The management team has proven capabilities in building consumer franchises and marketing and distributing multiple brands of beverages within the non-alcoholic and alcoholic segments. Manufacturing is typically outsourced to third party co-packers and distillers, or in select cases for a brand such as Copa DI Vino^® wines, performed within our own facility in Oregon.

We believe the distribution landscape in the beverage industry is changing rapidly as tech-enabled e-commerce business models are thriving. Direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction in the future. Recognizing this opportunity Splash continues to shape its operating model to be vertically integrated with our e-commerce platform, Qplash, which purchases local and regional brands for developing a direct line of sales to boutique retail stores and consumers.

Splash’s wholly owned subsidiary, Splash Beverage Group II, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name TapouT Beverages, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring the rights under a license agreement with TapouT, LLC (Authentic Brands Group). In Q1 2024 the relationship between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated.

1

In December 2020, Splash Beverage Group Inc. purchased the key assets of the Copa DI Vino^® single serve wine company. The operations and IP for Copa DI Vino^® are wholly owned by Splash and incorporated in the state of Nevada under the name Copa DI Vino^® Wine Group Inc.

In addition, Splash has a joint venture with SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila and Pulpoloco sangria that comes in a biodegradable can.

The Company’s leadership understands the importance of infusing beverage brands with strong popular culture and lifestyle elements that drive trial, belief and, most importantly, repeat purchases.

Our management team led by Robert Nistico has over 28 years of experience in all levels of the three-tier distribution system used in the beverage industry working with brands such as Red Bull and companies such as Gallo Winery and Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC Texas). Our President & CMO, Bill Meissner, has led major beverage brands including Sparkling Ice, Fuze, Sweet Leaf Tea and Jones Soda. Our CFO, William Devereux, has over 15 years of experience in finance, with an emphasis on investing, fundraising, corporate strategy, and mergers and acquisitions. Our Senior Vice President of Sales, James Allred, has over 25 years’ experience in the beverage industry, predominately with Anheuser-Busch.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to combine the traditional approach of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of beverages, with early-stage brands that have a reasonable level of pre-existing brand awareness and market presence, or have attributes that we believe to be purely innovative. We believe this allows us to break through the clutter of numerous brand introductions and dilute risk. We apply this philosophy regardless of whether the brand is 100% owned or a joint venture.

For acquisition or joint venture consideration, we prefer to work with brands that already have one or more of the following in place:

● Some level of preexisting brand awareness.

● Regional presence that can be expanded.

● Licensing an existing brand name.

	●	Add to an underdeveloped and/or growing category capitalizing on consumer trends.
	●	Innovation to an existing attractive category (such as flavored tequila).
	●	A near term clear path to profitability.

We believe this platform model provides us with two paths to success: one, developing our wholly owned core brands and two, the ability to tap into high growth, early-stage brands ready to scale. This platform allows us to limit risk, and significantly reduce development expenses while simultaneously increasing efficiencies for all brands in our portfolio.

Our management team has over 80 years of combined experience in the beverage industry, including decades of successful brand introductions by our management team (Gallo, Red Bull, Bacardi, Diageo, Sparkling Ice, Coca-Cola, FUZE Beverage, NOS Energy, PepsiCo, SoBe Beverages, AB InBev, Muscle Milk, Marley Beverages), we believe our ability to break through the distribution and retail bottlenecks makes us an attractive joint venture partner to many new brand owners.

Splash has the ability to fully own a brand or be flexible to engage in business ventures structured with a revenue split, or an equity position.

The benefit to Splash in these shared brand ownerships is the ability to avoid the development costs for new products. This model spreads our risk over several brands, contributes to our economies of scale, improves our relationship with distributors and reduces the overall cost of infrastructure.

2

The Company also believes the distribution landscape in the beverage category is changing rapidly. Tech-enabled business models are thriving and direct to consumer, office and home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction as beverage alcohol regulations evolve. A core strategy for us is to optimize the early success we’re seeing with the Qplash online platform, our consumer-packaged goods retail division and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel.

Products

During fiscal year 2024 we produced, distributed and marketed SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila (“SALT”), a 100% agave 80 proof line of flavored tequilas, Copa DI Vino^® single serve wine by the glass, and also import Pulpoloco Sangria in 3 flavors.

The following is a description of these products.

SALT Flavored Tequila

We oversee production, distribute, and market the following flavors under the brand name SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila:

● Citrus flavor

● Berry flavor

● Chocolate flavor

Vodka, rum, and brown spirits have experienced significant growth when flavors are introduced, and we expect this growth of flavors to continue, as the tequila category continues to rapidly expand.

SALT is currently being distributed by various Anheuser-Busch & Miller-Coors distributorships, and other distributors in multiple U.S. states. Additionally, SALT is for sale in Mexico. SALT has also launched in Guatemala and Japan and efforts continue to grow the brand’s international presence.

SALT is a business venture between the Company and SALT USA, LLC. All aspects of manufacturing, logistics, distribution and marketing are our responsibility.

TapouT License Agreement

We have the rights under a License Agreement with ABG TapouT (the “License Agreement”) to produce, market, sell and distribute TapouT sports beverages in North America (including US Territories and Military Bases), United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Scandinavia, Peru, Colombia, Chile and Guatemala. The beverages covered by the License Agreement include sports drinks, energy drinks, energy shots, electrolyte chews, energy bars, water, protein, and teas.

We pay a 6% royalty of net sales or a guaranteed minimum annual royalty of $660,000, whichever is greater. The License Agreement will expire on December 31, 2025, with a renewal option through December 31, 2028 at which time it will be reviewed and renegotiated if necessary.

We have the right to use the TapouT brand to market, advertise and promote for sale our TapouT beverages and branded products. As part of the alliance, Splash commits to investing 2% of sales in marketing to the TapouT Performance Brand. TapouT provides marketing collateral for advertising and promotion and has influential relationships with select celebrities and athletic talent. TapouT agrees to use reasonable efforts to request its retained celebrities and/or athletes be present at autograph signings, tradeshows and other similar events. In Q1 2024 the relationship between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated.  

Copa DI Vino^® Wine Group, Inc. (CdV) and Related Financing

On December 24, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with CdV, pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities that comprise the CdV business for a total purchase price of $5,980,000, payable in the combination of $2,000,000 in cash, a $2,000,000 convertible promissory note to CdV and a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on an attainment of revenue hurdles.

4

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also entered into a Revenue Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) by and among the Company, Robert Nistico, additional guarantor and each of the subsidiary guarantors from time-to-time party thereto (each a “Guarantor”, and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), and Decathlon Alpha IV, L.P. (the “Lender”). The Loan and Security Agreement provided for a revenue-based credit facility of $1,578,237 (the “Gross Amount”) with the Lender (the “Credit Facility”).

Copa DI Vino^® Wine Group, Inc.

Copa DI Vino^® is the leading producer of premium wine by the glass in the United States. The Copa DI Vino^® product line is highly innovative as a ready to drink wine glass capable of going anywhere without the need for a bottle, corkscrew or glass. The company also has a growing keg wine business for on-premises restaurants and bars.

Through our acquisition of Copa DI Vino^® Corporation, we are now able to offer nine varietals of wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Merlot, Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, Moscato, Red Blend, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to its wine varietals, Copa DI Vino^® also procures Pulpoloco, a sangria which is encased in an eco-friendly fiber based can from Spain. The rights to utilize this packaging for multiple categories were conveyed to SBG in conjunction with the distribution rights.

E-commerce

“Qplash” is a wholly owned division of Splash. It is our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel. The division sells beverages online through www.qplash.com, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com. Inside of the division, there are two primary customer groups: business to business retailers, which in turn offer the products to their customers, and business to consumer, selling direct to end users. The business-to-business program allows businesses to control inventory, order with payment terms, and offer the convenience of delivery directly to each store.

During fiscal year 2024, Qplash offered over 1,500 listings and has warehouses that ship from both California and Pennsylvania.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to the Company’s success and differentiate us from our competitors:

● An established distribution network through global sales channels;

● A hybrid distribution model that leverages multiple routes to market, including national chains, independent local markets, regional chains, and specialty food and C-Stores

● Long-term relationships with retailers and the establishment of chains;

● Premium customer service;

● Dynamic and sustainable product offerings of natural quality and freshness with health benefits;

● A highly experienced management team;

● Strategically selected, dedicated sales professionals;

● Qplash, our e-commerce platform, which provides us an integrated distribution platform for our non-alcoholic brands;

	●	Ability to execute and distribute across many geographies on behalf of our licensed brand portfolio;
	●	Strong brand awareness through partnerships and acquisitions of brands with pre-existing brand awareness, or viewed as truly innovative; and
	●	Celebrity and professional athlete endorsement of our brands.

Manufacturing and Co-packing

We are responsible for the manufacturing of Copa DI Vino^® and SALT. The Copa DI Vino^® product line is bottled at our manufacturing facility in The Dalles, Oregon. Pulpoloco is imported from Spain as a finished product.

Although we are responsible for manufacturing SALT, we do not directly manufacture these products, but instead outsource such manufacturing to third party bottlers and contract packers and distillers.

SALT products are manufactured in Mexico, under separate arrangements. Our co-packaging arrangements are terminable upon request and do not obligate us to produce any minimum quantities of products within specified periods.

We purchase concentrates, flavors, dietary ingredients, cans, bottles, caps, labels, and other components and ingredients for our beverage products from our suppliers, which are delivered to our manufacturing operations and various third-party bottlers and co-packers. In some cases, certain common supplies may be purchased by our various third-party bottlers and co-packers. Depending on the product, the third-party bottlers or packers add filtered water and/or other ingredients (including dietary ingredients) for the manufacture and packaging of the finished products into our approved containers in accordance with our formulas.

6

Distribution

For our beverage-alcohol products, we operate within what is referred to as a “Three Tier Distribution System” where manufacturers are not permitted to sell directly to retailers, but instead contract for local and regional distribution with independent distributors. These distributors typically have geographic rights to distribute major beverage brands and call on every store in a given area such as major cities or regions. Our management team has extensive experience working within this channel and believes that we will be successful in building a strong network of these distributors.

In addition to working with these independent distributors, we also have distribution arrangements with national retail accounts to distribute some of our products directly through their warehouse operations. Most notably, SBG executed a distribution agreement with AB-InBev, for distribution with their own operations, AB ONE. This provides SBG very effective distribution capabilities.

Intellectual Property

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we were granted a trademark for Copa DI Vino^®. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued the trademark on March 12, 2024, providing our company exclusive rights to use the trademark in connection with the product categories specified in this Form 10-K.

Employees

We have 21 full-time employees, including non-officer employees and our executive officers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Listing on the NYSE American

Our common stock and warrants are listed on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbols “SBEV” and “SBEV WT,” respectively.

The Company filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209 with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on March 26, 2025, to be effective March 27, 2025.

On April 7, 2025, NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Common Stock and publicly trading Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock, from NYSE American. NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1009(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) as the Company was unable to demonstrate that it had regained compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the Company Guide by the end of the maximum 18-month compliance plan period, which expired on April 6, 2025.

On April 16, 2025, the Company, received an official notice of noncompliance (the “NYSE American Notice”) from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards (the “Filing Delinquency Notification”) due to the failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Delinquent Report”) by the filing due date of April 15, 2025 (the “Filing Delinquency”).

On June 9, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation” and, collectively with the Subscription Agreement, the “Issuance Documents”) classifying and designating the Series A Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which Certificate of Designation became effective on June 9, 2025.

This debt exchange is one key step in meeting the NYSE American continued listing requirements. The other key step is filing its tardy Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31 2025.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Risks Related to our Business

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

We have sustained recurring losses and we have had working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financing or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

9

Management recognizes that it may be required to obtain additional resources via issuances of indebtedness or equity to successfully execute its business plans. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may cause us to fail to timely and accurately report our financial results or result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements.

A significant deficiency and material weakness exists over our financial reporting. We continue to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of additional policies and procedures to address identified control deficiencies in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting, as further described in Item 9A of this Annual Report (“Controls and Procedures”). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls related to dedicated services billing and revenue recognition, and has taken actions in 2025 to have the material weakness remediated. To note, the significant deficiency and material weakness over our financial reporting or the discovery of additional significant deficiencies or a material weakness and their possible effect on our results, could have material and adverse effect on our stock price.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations and generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The size of our losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures, our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy and our ability to generate revenues. We incurred a net loss of $23.8 million    for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our accumulated deficit increased to $155.8 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year’s deficit of $133.3 million. 

We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our financial condition. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance and our revenues do not increase significantly, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

If we are not able to successfully execute on our future operating plans and objectives, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

It is important that we meet our sales goals and increase sales going forward as our operating plan already reflects prior significant cost containment measures and may make it difficult to achieve top-line growth if further significant reductions become necessary. If we do not meet our sales goals, our available cash and working capital will decrease and our financial condition will be negatively impacted.

In order to be successful, we believe that we must, among other things:

	●	increase the sales volume and gross margins for our products and those that we will acquire;
	●	maintain efficiencies in operations;
	●	manage our operating expenses to sufficiently support operating activities;
	●	maintain fixed costs at or near current levels; and
	●	avoid significant increases in variable costs relating to production, marketing and distribution.

We may not be able to meet these objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have incurred significant operating expenses in the past and may do so again in the future and, as a result, will need to increase revenues in order to improve our results of operations. Our ability to increase sales will depend primarily on success in expanding our current markets, improving our distribution base, entering into Direct-To-Retail (DTR) arrangements with national accounts, and introducing new brands, products or product extensions to the market. Our ability to successfully enter new distribution areas and obtain national accounts will, in turn, depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the continued demand for our brands and products in target markets, the ability to price our products at competitive levels, available positions within the retailer’s planograms, the ability to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in each geographic area of distribution and the ability in the future to create, develop and successfully introduce one or more new brands, products, and product extensions.

10

Our strategic initiatives including acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful and may divert our management’s attention away from operations and could create general customer uncertainty.

Our growth strategy is based in part on growth through strategic initiatives including both acquisitions and divestitures, which poses a number of risks. We may not be successful in identifying appropriate acquisition candidates, achieving targeted values as part of a disposition, consummating an acquisition or divestiture on satisfactory terms, integrating any newly acquired or expanded business with our current operations, or separating a divested business or commingled operation effectively. We may issue additional equity, incur long-term or short-term indebtedness, spend cash or use a combination of these for all or part of the consideration paid in future acquisitions or expansion of our operations, which may not be available to us on terms we find advantageous or acceptable, if at all. In addition, subject to any requirements in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness, we may have significant discretion in how we employ the consideration received in a divestiture and our management may not apply such consideration in a way that is ultimately accretive to our business.

The execution of our strategic initiatives could entail repositioning or similar actions that in turn require us to record impairments, restructuring and other charges. Any such charges would reduce our earnings. We cannot guarantee that any future business acquisitions or divestitures will be pursued or that any acquisitions or divestitures that are pursued will be consummated.

Additionally, any acquisition or disposition (including the successful integration and separation of operations, products and personnel) may place a significant burden on our management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention, and any difficulties encountered in such a process, could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. Moreover, our customers may, in response to the announcement or consummation of a transaction, delay or defer purchasing decisions. If our customers delay or defer purchasing decisions, our revenues could materially decline or any anticipated increases in revenue could be lower than expected.

Failure to Successfully Integrate Acquired Businesses, Its Products and Other Assets into the Company, or If Integrated, Failure to Further the Company’s Business Strategy, May Result in the Company’s Inability to Realize Any Benefit from Such Acquisition.

The consummation and integration of any acquired business, product or other assets into the Company may be complex and time-consuming and, if such businesses and assets are not successfully integrated, the Company may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities. Furthermore, these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further the Company’s business strategy as anticipated, expose the Company to increased competition or other challenges with respect to the Company’s products or geographic markets, and expose the Company to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business, technology or other asset or arrangement. When the Company acquires cannabis businesses, it may obtain the rights to applications for licenses as well as licenses; however, the procurement of such applications for licenses and licenses generally will be subject to governmental and regulatory approval. There are no guarantees that the Company will successfully consummate such acquisitions, and even if the Company consummates such acquisitions, the procurement of applications for licenses may never result in the grant of a license by any state or local governmental or regulatory agency and the transfer of any rights to licenses may never be approved by the applicable state and/or local governmental or regulatory agency.

Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our beverage portfolio is comprised of a number of unique brands with reputations and consumer imagery that have been built over time. Our investments in marketing as well as our strong commitment to product quality are intended to have a favorable impact on brand image and consumer preferences. If we do not adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics, consumer and economic trends, health concerns and product preferences, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Additionally, failure to introduce new brands, products or product extensions into the marketplace as current ones mature and to meet the changing preferences of consumers could prevent us from gaining market share and achieving long-term profitability. Product lifecycles can vary and consumer preferences and loyalties change over time. Although we try to anticipate these shifts and innovate new products to introduce to our consumers, we may not succeed. Consumer preferences also are affected by factors other than taste, such as health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns, shifting consumer needs, changes in consumer lifestyles, increased consumer information and competitive product and pricing pressures. Sales of our products may be adversely affected by negative publicity associated with these issues. If we do not adequately anticipate or adjust to respond to these and other changes in consumer preferences, we may not be able to maintain and grow our brand image and our sales may be adversely affected.

Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.

The principal raw materials we use include glass bottles, aluminum cans, PET, fiber-board, labels and cardboard cartons, flavorings and sweeteners. These component and ingredient costs are subject to fluctuation. If there were to be substantial increases in the prices of our ingredients, raw materials and packaging materials, to the extent that they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, would increase our operating costs and could reduce our profitability. If our supply of these raw materials is impaired or if prices increase significantly, it could affect the affordability of our products and reduce sales.

11

If we are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including glass, sugar, and other key supplies, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.

International trade disputes, including U.S. trade tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, could adversely impact our business.

International trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs by the United States and threatened or implemented tariffs by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact our business. Many of our tenants sell imported goods and tariffs or other trade restrictions could increase costs for these tenants. To the extent our tenants are unable to pass these costs on to their customers, our tenants could be adversely impacted. In addition, international trade disputes, including those related to tariffs, could result in inflationary pressures that directly impact our costs, such as costs for steel, lumber and other materials applicable to our redevelopment projects. Trade disputes could also adversely impact global supply chains which could further increase costs for us and our tenants or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies.

Significant political, trade, regulatory developments, and other circumstances beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Significant political, trade, or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we sell our products, such as those stemming from the change in U.S. federal administration, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us. Similarly, changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscape could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business operations. For example, during the prior Trump administration, increased tariffs were implemented on goods imported into the U.S., particularly from China, Canada, and Mexico. On February 1, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, which were subsequently suspended for a period of one month, and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions, between not only the U.S. and China, but also between the U.S. and other countries in the international community. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any changes in political, trade, regulatory, and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, U.S. and China trade policies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects our business, prospects, or operations.

As cryptocurrencies have grown in both popularity and market size, governments around the world have reacted differently to cryptocurrencies; certain governments have deemed them illegal, and others have allowed their use and trade without restriction, while some jurisdictions, such as the United States, subject the mining, ownership and exchange of cryptocurrencies to extensive, and in some cases overlapping, unclear and evolving regulatory requirements.

In January 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order forming a presidential working group to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, and leaders in both houses of the U.S. Congress have announced a bicameral working group with the objective of passing legislation to provide regulatory clarity for the industry. Committees in both houses of the U.S. Congress have held hearings to ensure fair access to financial services, including for companies operating in the digital asset space. Additionally, President Trump and members of the U.S. Congress announced that they are studying the possibility of creating a national strategic digital asset reserve to include Bitcoin, and at least twelve states have introduced legislation to create strategic Bitcoin reserves.

While these ongoing regulatory developments appear to be positive, and we anticipate greater regulatory certainty in the future, given the difficulty of predicting the outcomes of ongoing and future regulatory actions and legislative developments, it is possible that future developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, or operations.

Our business, operations, financial position and timelines, could be materially adversely affected by the continuing military action in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas.

As a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas commenced in October 2023, and related economic sanctions imposed or that may in the future be imposed by certain governments, our financial position and operations may be materially and adversely affected. As our ability to continue to operate will be dependent on raising debt and equity finance, any adverse impact to those markets as a result of these conflicts, including due to increased market volatility, decreased availability in third-party financing and/or a deterioration in the terms on which it is available (if at all), could negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and/or prospects. The extent of any potential impact is not yet determinable, however.

12

Changes in government regulation or failure to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those governing the production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution of beverage products. In addition, various governmental agencies have enacted or are considering additional taxes on soft drinks and other sweetened beverages. Changes in existing laws or regulations could require material expenses and negatively affect our financial results through lower sales or higher costs.

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.

Our business is dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our target markets. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and retailers of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the revitalization and growth of our brand and product offerings, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Any failure of our brand to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results.

Our brands and brand images are keys to our business and any inability to maintain a positive brand image could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to maintain brand image for our existing products and effectively build up brand image for new products and brand extensions. We cannot predict whether our advertising, marketing and promotional programs will have the desired impact on our products’ branding and on consumer preferences. In addition, negative public relations and product quality issues, whether real or imagined, could tarnish our reputation and image of the affected brands and could cause consumers to choose other products. Our brand image can also be adversely affected by unfavorable reports, studies and articles, litigation, or regulatory or other governmental action, whether involving our products or those of our competitors.

Competition from traditional and large, well-financed non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.

The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products compete with all non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, most of which are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial resources than ours. Some of these competitors are placing severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry competitive brands such as ours. We also compete with regional beverage producers and “private label” brands.

Increased competitor consolidations, market-place competition, particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If, due to such pressure or other competitive threats, we are unable to sufficiently maintain or develop our distribution channels, we may be unable to achieve our current revenue and financial targets. Competition, particularly from companies with greater financial and marketing resources than ours, could have a material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as on our ability to expand the market for our products.

13

Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.

Taxes imposed on the sale of certain of our products by federal, state and local governments in the United States, or other countries in which we operate could cause consumers to shift away from purchasing our beverages. Several municipalities in the United States have implemented or are considering implementing taxes on the sale of certain “sugared” beverages, including non-diet soft drinks, fruit drinks, teas and flavored waters to help fund various initiatives. These taxes could materially affect our business and financial results.

Our reliance on distributors, retailers and brokers could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.

Our ability to maintain and expand our existing markets for our products, and to establish markets in new geographic distribution areas, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with reliable distributors, retailers and brokers strategically positioned to serve those areas. Most of our distributors, retailers and brokers sell and distribute competing products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may represent a small portion of their businesses. The success of this network will depend on the performance of the distributors, retailers and brokers of this network. There is a risk that the mentioned entities may not adequately perform their functions within the network by, without limitation, failing to distribute to sufficient retailers or positioning our products in localities that may not be receptive to our product. Our ability to incentivize and motivate distributors to manage and sell our products is affected by competition from other beverage companies, some of which may have greater resources than we do. To the extent that our distributors, retailers and brokers are distracted from selling our products or do not employ sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, including re-stocking the retail shelves with our products, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, such third-parties’ financial position or market share may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our distribution, marketing and sales activities.

Our ability to maintain and expand our distribution network and attract additional distributors, retailers and brokers will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include:

● the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular distribution area;

● our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those of competing products; and

● our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors, retailers and brokers.

We may not be able to successfully manage all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Our inability to achieve success with regards to any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain or expand our market, which will likely adversely affect our revenues and financial results.

It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.

Our independent distributors and national accounts are not required to place minimum monthly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, independent distributors typically order products from us on a “just in time” basis in quantities and at such times based on the demand for the products in a particular distribution area. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or whether any of our distributors will continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Additionally, our larger distributors and national partners may make orders that are larger than we have historically been required to fill. Shortages in inventory levels, supply of raw materials or other key supplies could negatively affect us.

14

If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We need to maintain adequate inventory levels to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply depends on our ability to correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.

We do not manufacture SALT Tequila, Pulpoloco Sangria but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). We do not own the plants or the majority of the equipment required to manufacture and package these brands. Our ability to maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers and other third parties for the production and delivery of our beverage products in a particular geographic distribution area is important to the success of our operations within each distribution area. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with current contract manufacturers or establish satisfactory relationships with new or replacement contract manufacturers, whether in existing or new geographic distribution areas. The failure to establish and maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers for a distribution area could increase our manufacturing costs and thereby materially reduce gross profits from the sale of our products in that area. Poor relations with any of our contract manufacturers could adversely affect the amount and timing of product delivered to our distributors for resale, which would in turn adversely affect our revenues and financial condition. In addition, our agreements with our contract manufacturers are terminable at any time, and any such termination could disrupt our ability to deliver products to our customers.

The volatility of energy and increased regulations may have an adverse impact on our gross margin.

Over the past few years, volatility in the global oil markets has resulted in variable fuel prices, which many shipping companies have passed on to their customers by way of higher base pricing and increased fuel surcharges. If fuel prices increase, we expect to experience higher shipping rates and fuel surcharges, as well as energy surcharges on our raw materials. It is hard to predict what will happen in the fuel markets in 2025 and beyond. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we may not always be able to pass such increases on to our customers.

Disruption within our supply chain, contract manufacturing or distribution channels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability, through our suppliers, business partners, contract manufacturers, independent distributors and retailers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our suppliers or to manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics, labor strikes or other reasons, could impair the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. Many of these events are outside of our control. Failure to take adequate steps to protect against or mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

15

We rely upon our ongoing relationships with our key flavor suppliers. If we are unable to source our flavors on acceptable terms from our key suppliers, we could suffer disruptions in our business.

We currently purchase our flavor concentrate from various flavor concentrate suppliers, and continually develop other sources of flavor concentrate for each of our products. Generally, flavor suppliers hold the proprietary rights to their flavor-specific ingredients. Although we have the exclusive rights to flavor concentrates developed with our current flavor concentrate suppliers, and while we have the rights to the ingredients for our products, we do not have the list of ingredients for our flavor extracts and concentrates. Consequently, we may be unable to obtain these exact flavors or concentrates from alternative suppliers on short notice. If we have to replace a flavor supplier, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in such areas as finance, sales, marketing and product development. We compete to hire new employees, and, in some cases, must train them and develop their skills and competencies. We may not be able to provide our employees with competitive salaries, and our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

Changes to operations, policies and procedures, which can often occur with the appointment of new personnel, can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods are often difficult as the new employees gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution.

Further, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, our operations, financial condition and employee morale could be negatively impacted. In addition, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer.

If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade secrets, we may be unable to successfully market our products and compete effectively.

We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks,

copyrights, licenses and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success, and we actively pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and internationally. However, the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights may not be adequate and may not prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our trademarks, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may seek to assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably exploit our products or recoup our associated research and development costs.

16

As part of the licensing strategy of our brands, we enter into licensing agreements under which we grant our licensing partners certain rights to use our trademarks and other designs. Although our agreements require that the use of our trademarks and designs is subject to our control and approval, any breach of these provisions, or any other action by any of our licensing partners that is harmful to our brands, goodwill and overall image, could have a material adverse impact on our business.

If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.

Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect brand image.

Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.

The production, marketing and sale of our beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production batch or “run” is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we cannot anticipate whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products.

Various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of our products. These types of requirements, if they become applicable to one or more of our products under current or future environmental or health laws or regulations, may inhibit sales of such products. In California, a law requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a component listed by the state as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. This law recognizes no generally applicable quantitative thresholds below which a warning is not required. If a component found in one of our products is added to the list, or if the increasing sensitivity of detection methodology that may become available under this law and related regulations as they currently exist, or as they may be amended, results in the detection of an infinitesimal quantity of a listed substance in one of our beverages produced for sale in California, the resulting warning requirements or adverse publicity could affect our sales.

Litigation or legal could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.

We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.

Additionally, there has been public attention directed at the beverage alcohol industry, which we believe is due to concern over problems related to harmful use of alcohol, including drinking and driving, underage drinking and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol. We could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product liability or marketing or sales practices with respect to our alcoholic products. Adverse developments in lawsuits concerning these types of matters or a significant decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products that may result from lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks inherent in sales of products in international markets.

Our operations outside of the United States, contribute to our revenue and profitability, and we believe that developing and emerging markets could present future growth opportunities for us. However, there can be no assurance that existing or new products that we manufacture, distribute or sell will be accepted or be successful in any particular foreign market, due to local or global competition, product price, cultural differences, and consumer preferences or otherwise. There are many factors that could adversely affect demand for our products in foreign markets, including our inability to attract and maintain key distributors in these markets; volatility in the economic growth of certain of these markets; changes in economic, political or social conditions, the status and renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement, imposition of new or increased labeling, product or production requirements, or other legal restrictions; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; inflationary currency, devaluation or fluctuation; increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations. If we are unable to effectively operate or manage the risks associated with operating in international markets, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.

Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity.

Water is a main ingredient in substantially all of our products, is vital to the production of the agricultural ingredients on which our business relies and is needed in our manufacturing process. It also is critical to the prosperity of the communities we serve. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water, increasing pollution and emerging awareness of potential contaminants, poor management, lack of physical or financial access to water, sociopolitical tensions due to lack of public infrastructure in certain areas of the world and the effects of climate change. As the demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as water becomes scarcer and the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur higher costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.

Fluctuations in quantity and quality of grape supply could adversely affect our business.

A shortage in the supply of quality grapes may result from a variety of factors that determine the quality and quantity of our grape supply, including weather conditions, pruning methods, diseases and pests, the ability to buy grapes on long and short-term contracts and the number of vines producing grapes. Any shortage in grape production could cause a reduction in the amount of wine we are able to produce, which could reduce sales and adversely impact our results from operations. Factors that reduce the quantity of our grapes may also reduce their quality, which in turn could reduce the quality or amount of wine we produce. Deterioration in the quality of our wines could harm our brand name, reduce sales and adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Contamination of our wines could harm our business.

We are subject to certain hazards and product liability risks, such as potential contamination, through tampering or otherwise, of ingredients or products. Contamination of any of our wines could force us to destroy wine held in inventory and could cause the need for a product recall, which could significantly damage our reputation for product quality. We maintain insurance against certain of these kinds of risks, and others, under various insurance policies. However, the insurance may not be adequate or may not continue to be available at a price or on terms that are satisfactory to us and this insurance may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

18

Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.

The proper functioning of our own information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

If we fail to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws, we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively affect our business and operating results.

In the ordinary course of our business, we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal data”), primarily employees, former employees and consumers with whom we interact. As a result, we are subject to various U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations relating to personal data. These laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted in other jurisdictions at any time. These laws impose operational requirements for companies receiving or processing personal data, and many provide for significant penalties for noncompliance. These requirements with respect to personal data have subjected and may continue in the future to subject the Company to, among other things, additional costs and expenses and have required and may in the future require costly changes to our business practices and information security systems, policies, procedures and practices. Our security controls over personal data, the training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data security, and the policies, procedures and practices we implemented or may implement in the future may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal data by us or the third-party service providers and vendors whose technology, systems and services we use in connection with the receipt, storage and transmission of personal data. Unauthorized access or improper disclosure of personal data in violation of personal data protection or privacy laws could harm our reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence, subject us to regulatory enforcement actions (including fines), and result in private litigation against us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, all of which could negatively affect our business and operating results.

If our third-party service providers and business partners do not satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.

In the conduct of our business, we rely on relationships with third parties, including cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, joint venture partners and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support of key portions of our operations. These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to similar risks as we are relating to cybersecurity, privacy violations, business interruption, and systems and employee failures, and are subject to legal, regulatory and market risks of their own. Our third-party service providers and business partners may not fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. In addition, while we have procedures in place for selecting and managing our relationships with third-party service providers and other business partners, we do not have control over their business operations or governance and compliance systems, practices and procedures, which increases our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk. If we are unable to effectively manage our third-party relationships, or for any reason our third-party service providers or business partners fail to satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.

19

Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.

Our sales are seasonal, and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. Companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

The U.S. GAAP and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our stock price and investor confidence could be materially and adversely affected.

We are required to maintain both disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that are effective. Because of their inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the controls will prevent or detect misstatements. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions. The failure of controls by design deficiencies or absence of adequate controls could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial results, which could also negatively impact our stock price and investor confidence.

We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico to provide us with our finished SALT tequila product. Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.

We depend on a distiller in Mexico, a company in Jalisco, for the production, bottling, labeling, capping and packaging of our finished tequila product. We do not have a written agreement with our distiller in Mexico obligating it to produce our product. The termination of our relationship with our distiller in Mexico distiller or an adverse change in the terms of its services could have a negative impact on our business. If our distiller in Mexico increases its prices, we may not have alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and may not be able to raise the prices of our products to cover all, or even a portion, of the increased costs. In addition, if our distiller in Mexico fails to perform satisfactorily, fails to handle increased orders, or the loss of the services of our distiller in Mexico, along with delays in shipments of products, could cause us to fail to meet orders, lose sales, incur additional costs, and/or expose us to product quality issues. In turn, this could cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with our customers and consumers, ultimately leading to a decline in our business and results of operations.

Regulatory decisions and changes in the legal, regulatory and tax environment where our tequila is produced and where we operate could limit our business activities or increase our operating costs and reduce our margins.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation regarding production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labeling of beverage alcohol products in the U.S. and in Mexico, where our tequila is produced. We are required to comply with these regulations and maintain various permits and licenses. We are also required to conduct business only with holders of licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute, and sell spirits. We cannot assure you that these and other governmental regulations, applicable to our industry, will not change or become more stringent. Moreover, because these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when, and to what extent, liability may arise. Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems,

20

including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products. Failure to comply with any of the current or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products, could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation of our licenses and permits. Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we may find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our sales and profit potential.

In addition, the distribution of beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation both in the United States and internationally (and, in the United States, at both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise duties in most countries around the world. An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our sales revenue and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories of beverage alcohol.

We face substantial competition in the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industry, and we may not be able to effectively compete.

Consolidation among spirits producers, distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our products. Consolidation at any level could hinder the distribution and sale of our products as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our brands, both during and after transition periods, because our brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio. Expansion into new product categories by other suppliers, or innovation by new entrants into the market, could increase competition in our product categories. Changes to our route-to-consumer models or partners in important markets could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruption, higher implementation-related or fixed costs, and could negatively affect other business relationships we might have with that partner. Distribution network disruption or fluctuations in our product inventory levels with distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could negatively affect our results for a particular period.

Our competitors may respond to industry and economic conditions more rapidly or effectively than we do. Our competitors offer products that compete directly with ours for shelf space, promotional displays, and consumer purchases. Pricing, (including price promotions, discounting, couponing, and free goods), marketing, new product introductions, entry into our distribution networks, and other competitive behavior by our competitors could adversely affect our sales margins, and profitability.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our products. These risks include:

● Unfavorable economic conditions and related low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, sovereign debt defaults, sequestrations, austerity measures, higher interest rates, political instability, higher inflation, deflation, lower returns on pension assets, or lower discount rates for pension obligations;

● Changes in laws, regulations, or policies - especially those that affect the production, importation, marketing, sale, or consumption of our beverage alcohol products;

● Tax rate changes (including excise, sales, tariffs, duties, corporate, individual income, dividends, capital gains), or changes in related reserves, changes in tax rules or accounting standards, and the unpredictability and suddenness with which they can occur;

● Dependence upon the continued growth of brand names;

● Changes in consumer preferences, consumption, or purchase patterns - particularly away from tequila, and our ability to anticipate and react to them; bar, restaurant, travel, or other on-premise declines;

21

● Unfavorable consumer reaction to our products, package changes, product reformulations, or other product innovation;

● Decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products in our markets;

● Production facility or supply chain disruption;

● Imprecision in supply/demand forecasting;

● Higher costs, lower quality, or unavailability of energy, input materials, labor, or finished goods;

● Route-to-consumer changes that affect the timing of our sales, temporarily disrupt the marketing or sale of our products, or result in higher implementation related or fixed costs;

● Inventory fluctuations in our products by distributors, wholesalers, or retailers; Competitors’ consolidation or other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;

● Insufficient protection of our intellectual property rights;

● Product recalls or other product liability claims; product counterfeiting, tampering, or product quality issues;

● Significant legal disputes and proceedings; government investigations (particularly of industry or company business, trade or marketing practices;

● Failure or breach of key information technology systems;

● Negative publicity related to our company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance or prospects; and

● Business disruption, decline, or costs related to organizational changes, reductions in workforce, or other cost-cutting measures, or our failure to attract or retain key executive or employee talent.

Uncertainty in the financial markets and other adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major countries in which we do business could adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.

Global economic uncertainties, including foreign currency exchange rates, affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. There can be no assurance that economic improvements will occur, or that they would be sustainable, or that they would enhance conditions in markets relevant to us.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to forecast our future results, making any investment in us highly speculative.

We have a limited operating history, and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Securities

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

An investment in our common stock is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

Future sales of common stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.

Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with par value $0.001 per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. Any such issuance would be subject to terms and conditions of any current offering that may disallow any such issuance.

We have 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized and outstanding with mirrored voting rights.

Series A Preferred Stock

Pursuant to a certificate of designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on June 10, 2025 (the “Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock”), one thousand (1,000) shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series A Preferred Stock”). The Certificate of Designation provides that each Series A Preferred Share will have twenty-five thousand (25,000) votes and will vote together with the Company’s outstanding common shares, par value $0.001 (the “Common Shares”), as a single class, only with respect to the proposal related to the increase of authorized shares at the Special Meeting. The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares has granted an irrevocable proxy to certain officers of the Company to vote the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Issuance Documents, in connection with the Special Meeting. Per the terms of the Issuance Documents, if voted, the Series A Preferred Shares are required to vote on the applicable proposals in the same “mirrored” proportion aggregate votes cast “FOR” and “AGAINST” on the proposal to increase the authorized shares by the holders of the Common Shares who properly vote on such proposal (but excluding any abstentions). Mr. Nistico, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, directly beneficially owns such one thousand (1,000) share of Series A Preferred Stock.

The outstanding Series A Preferred Shares are required to be redeemed in whole, but not in part, upon the earliest of: (i) if such redemption is authorized and directed by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion, (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the increase of the authorized shares at any meeting of shareholders or (iii) immediately prior to the record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company Upon such redemption, the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares will receive aggregate consideration equal to the Purchase Price.

23 

The Series A Preferred will vote as described above to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, which could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders if additional shares are issued. The increase in authorized shares provides us with greater flexibility to issue additional equity securities for various corporate purposes, including financings, equity compensation, or other strategic transactions. However, any such issuances may dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the issuance of additional shares may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company, which could discourage or delay takeover attempts that could benefit stockholders. There can be no assurance as to when or if any additional shares will be issued or the terms on which such issuances may occur.

We have issued multiple classes of preferred stock in the Company that will result in dilution to existing stockholders upon their conversion

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, our Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, and our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. Although holders may not receive shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately after affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent holders from receiving shares up to the 4.99% limit, selling those shares, and then receiving the rest of the shares it is due, in one or more tranches, while still staying below the 4.99% limit. If holders choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock. Additionally, the continued sale of shares issuable upon successive conversions will likely create significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as holders sells material amounts of our common stock over time and/or in a short period of time. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock and in turn result in holders receiving an ever-increasing number of additional shares of common stock upon conversion of its securities, and adjustments thereof, which in turn will likely lead to further dilution, reductions in the exercise/conversion price of holders securities and even more downward pressure on our common stock, which could lead to our common stock becoming devalued or worthless

The market price of our common stock has been volatile over the year and may continue to be volatile.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock has been volatile over the past year, and it may continue to be volatile. Over fiscal year 2024 and the date of this annual report, our common stock has traded as low as $0.96 and as high as $29.20 per share. We cannot predict the price at which our common stock will trade in the future, and the price of our common stock may decline. The price at which our common stock trades may fluctuate significantly and may be influenced by many factors, including our financial results, developments generally affecting the coffee industry, general economic, industry and market conditions, the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock, fluctuations in coffee prices, investor perceptions of our business, reports by industry analysts, negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performances, and the impact of other “Risk Factors” discussed in the Annual Report. 

Because certain principal stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.

As of December 31, 2024, our ten (10) largest shareholders own or controlled approximately 57% of our outstanding common stock . If those stockholders act together, they would have the ability to have a substantial influence on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval. In addition, the ownership of such stockholders could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us, and consequently, adversely affect the price of our common stock. These stockholders may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.

We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our Common Stock expecting to receive dividends.

We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations.

24 

There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the NYSE American.

Since June 11, 2021, our common stock has been listed on the NYSE American, under the symbol “SBEV”. The NYSE American has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from the NYSE American), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

On October 6, 2023, the NYSE American notified the Company that we were not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the continued listing standards set forth in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of (i) at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. The notice had no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. In accordance with applicable NYSE American procedures, we submitted a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) advising of the definitive action(s) the Company has taken, is taking, or would take, that would bring us into compliance with the continued listing standards within the 18 months of receipt of the notice. The NYSE American reviewed and accepted the Plan as a reasonable demonstration of an ability to conform to the relevant standards in the 18-month period. On December 20, 2023, we received a notification (the “Plan Letter”), with NYSE American acceptance of the proposed plan and further deficiency notice. In the Plan Letter the NYSE American indicated that in addition to Section 1003(a)(i), the Company was also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.

On June 5, 2024, the Company received notification from the NYSE American indicating that it is not in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards under Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

On April 7, 2025, Company, NYSE American publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Common Stock and publicly trading Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock, from NYSE American. NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1009(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide as the Company was unable to demonstrate that it had regained compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the Company Guide by the end of the maximum 18-month compliance plan period, which expired on April 6, 2025.

On April 16, 2025, the Company, received an official notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards due to the failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 by the filing due date of April 15, 2025.

Our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the 18-month period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing standards of the NYSE American and continued periodic review by the NYSE American of the Company’s progress with respect to its Plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its goals set forth in the Plan. If we are unable to satisfy the NYSE American rules and listing standards, or are unable to make progress on our Plan, our securities could be subject to delisting.

If the NYSE American were to delist our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:

25 

● a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

● reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

● a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

● limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

● a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.

Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional common stock to certain of our stockholders.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We have established policies and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats, and have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes. We routinely assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.

We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify cybersecurity threats, as well as assessments in the event of a material change in our business practices that may affect information systems that are vulnerable to such cybersecurity threats. These risk assessments include identification of reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks, the likelihood and potential damage that could result from such risks, and the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, systems, and safeguards in place to manage such risks.

Following these risk assessments, we re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards to minimize identified risks; reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards; and regularly monitor the effectiveness of our safeguards. Primary responsibility for assessing, monitoring and managing our cybersecurity risks rests with the President who reports to our Chief Executive Officer, to manage the risk assessment and mitigation process.

We engage consultants, or other third parties in connection with our risk assessment processes. These service providers assist us to design and implement our cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as to monitor and test our safeguards. We require each third-party service provider to certify that it has the ability to implement and maintain appropriate security measures, consistent with all applicable laws, to implement and maintain reasonable security measures in connection with their work with us, and to promptly report any suspected breach of its security measures that may affect our company.

We have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing.

26 

Governance

Our board of directors addresses the Company’s cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The board of directors’ audit committee is responsible for overseeing Company’s cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats.

Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by certain Company management, including the information technology team at the direction of our President. Our executive team including our Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company’s overall risk management strategy, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel.

Business Overview

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (“CMS”) a company’s whose common stock was quoted on the OTCQB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by Canfield, and Splash Beverage Group, II Inc.. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canfield. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

As the owners and management of Splash had voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

On July 31, 2020, CMS changed its name to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (“SBG”). On June 11, 2021, SBG’s common stock and warrant to purchase common stock began trading on the NYSE American under the symbols “SBEV” and SBEV WT,” respectively.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2024, compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $4.2 million compared to revenues of $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Part of the $14.7` million decrease in sales was mainly due to a decrease in our beverage sales of $1.7 million. Additionally, revenues from our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash decreased approximately $13 million or 88.5% due to low inventory . Total sales declined due to limited liquidity to procure inventory to drive third-party sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.8 million compared to cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $13.3 million. The $9.5 million decrease in cost of goods sold was due to our decreased sales. The $8.4 million decrease in cost of goods sold   was driven by decreased sales in the e-commerce and $1.1 million was driven by beverage business.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $16.4 million compared to $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to $1.7 million of marketing expense, $0.5 million of contracted services, $2.1 million of other general and administrative expenses partially offset by increases of the non-cash expenses related to share issuance of $1.2 million. The loss of intangible impairment of $4.2 million was recorded in the other general and administrative expenses.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $6.9 million compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The other expense increased of $1.2 million is mainly driven by an increase in interest expense. Interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $2.9 million compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $1.0 million increase in interest expense is due to new loans with a principal of $3.2 million with higher interest rates. The Company also reserved   $0.3 million for legal settlement. Offset by a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $0.2 million and $0.03 million in other expenses.

29 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company has an active registration statement on Form S-3 to facilitate raising additional funds.

As of December 31, 2024, we had total cash of $15,346, as compared with $379,978 at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to expenses relating to operating the business.

Net cash used for continuing operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $8.0 million as compared to the net cash used by continuing operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023, of $10.2 million. The primary reason for the change in net cash used was due to an increase of $1.2 million in non-cash share-based compensation, and a decrease of $1.6 million in losses of the business, offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in working capital.

Net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $0.01 million as compared to the net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, of $0.01 million. The net cash used in the year 2024 was for machinery & equipment. 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $7.5 million compared to $6.1 million provided from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. Company received $9.5 million and $6.6 million proceeds from the issuance of debt in years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No cash advance from shareholders in 2024, $0.2 million was received from a shareholder advance in the year ending December 31, 2023. Principal repayment of debt of $2.0 million and $1.0 million were made in years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. A cash advance from related party of $0.01 million and $0.4 million was received in 2024 and 2023 respectively.

In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuance of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

30 

Revenue

The Company faces significant judgment in revenue recognition due to the complexities of the beverage industry’s competitive landscape and diverse distribution channels. Determining the timing of revenue recognition involves assessing factors such as control transfer, returns, allowances, trade promotions, and distributor sell-through data. Historical analysis, market trends assessment, and contractual term evaluations inform revenue recognition judgments. However, inherent uncertainties persist, underscoring the critical nature of revenue recognition as it significantly impacts financial statements and performance evaluation.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and specific customer collection issues. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and adjusts the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or customer creditworthiness could result in adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts, impacting our reported financial results.

Inventory Valuation

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Estimating the net realizable value of inventory involves significant judgment, particularly when market conditions change rapidly or when excess or obsolete inventory exists. Management regularly assesses inventory quantities on hand, future demand forecasts, and market conditions to determine whether write-downs to inventory are necessary.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements involve significant judgment and estimation, particularly when observable inputs are limited or not available. Management utilizes valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models, market comparables, and third-party appraisals to determine fair values.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Evaluation of Intangible Assets for Impairment

Description of the Matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate the fair value of the asset may be below its carrying value. This analysis involves comparing events and circumstances such as general macroeconomic conditions, conditions specific to the industry and company specific factors. These fair value estimates are sensitive to significant assumptions and judgments, such as projections of operating expenditures, discount rates, and future levels of revenue.

The Company has experienced a decline in its reported amounts of Beverage revenue and the Beverage operating segment has experienced losses from operations for the past several years. These factors were considered a triggering event indicative of impairment, which resulted in an impairment assessment by management. Pursuant to current accounting guidance, management performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that its intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $4.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s intangible asset balance was $0.

Auditing management’s annual impairment tests was complex because of the significant judgment required to evaluate management’s assumptions used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets.

How We Addressed the Matter in our Audit

Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of intangible assets for impairment included the following, among others:

1. We evaluated managements significant accounting policies related to the impairment of intangible assets for reasonableness.

2. We evaluated management’s assessment of the grouping of long-lived assets for which separately identifiable cash flows can be determined.

3. With respect to the Company’s valuation of its intangible assets:

a. We assessed the qualifications and competence of management

b. We evaluated the methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s intangible assets

c. We reperformed management’s quantitative analysis to assess the impact of intangible asset impairment

4. We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures regarding impairment assessments included in Note 2.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Splash Beverage Group (“SBG” or “Splash”), formally Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (“CMS”) was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS was in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.

Splash specializes in the manufacturing process, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C E-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.

In July 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation of CMS with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, pursuant to which the Company changed its name from CMS. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from CMS to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. Our new ticker symbol is SBEV.

On December 24, 2020, SBG consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Copa APA”) with Copa DI Vino^® Corporation (“CdV”), to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities that comprise the Copa DI Vino^® business for a total purchase price of $5,980,000, payable in the combination of $2,000,000 in cash (“Cash Consideration”), $2,000,000 convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) to Seller and a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on a attainment of revenue hurdles. CdV is one of the leading producers of premium wine by the glass in the United States with its primary offices and facilities in The Dalles, Oregon.

On February 2021, Management initiated a plan to divest its CMS business. As a result, the assets and operations of CMS have been retrospectively reflected as discontinued operations. On November 12, 2021 the Company changed its state of Domicile from Colorado to Nevada.

In coordination with up listing to the NYSE on June 11, 2021 the Company consummated a 1.0 for 3.0 reverse stock split. All common stock shares stated herein have been adjusted to reflect the split.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Our cash in uninsured foreign bank accounts was $4,817 and $0 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $300,827 and $183,089 , respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $621,178 and $290,524 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-20 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Depreciation expense totaled $148,229 and $153,908 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. Property and equipment consisted of the following: 

Schedule of property and equipment
		2024				2023

Accumulated depreciation			(1,976,522	)			(1,828,293	)
Property, plant & equipment, net			204,808				349,802

Excise taxes

The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The Company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

F-10

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Distribution expenses to transport our products, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The cost of transportation from production site to other 3^rd party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative cost.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

Other General and Administrative expenses include Amazon selling fees, cost of transportation from production site to other 3^rd party warehouses or customers, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, investor relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,”Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. We early adopted ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which aligns accounting treatment for such awards to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.

We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740,”Income Taxes”. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023  . See note   13.

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase shares of common stock and warrants granted by our Board that have not been exercised totaling 3,424,996.   

Advertising

We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We recorded advertising expense of $486,942 and $1,721,547   for the years ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Goodwill and other intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results.

At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon the facts and circumstances related to the particular intangible asset. Inherent in such estimates are judgments and estimates of future revenue, profitability, cash flows and appropriate discount rates for any present value calculations. The Company preliminarily estimates the value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and then finalizes the estimated fair values during the purchase allocation period, which does not extend beyond 12 months from the date of acquisition. The Company’s amortization expense for acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives was $392,068 for fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company performed an impairment test for its Brand Name, Customer Relationships and license. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeded its fair value, resulting in an impairment loss of $4.3 million.

The impairment loss of $4.3 million was recorded in the statement of operations within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. This impairment was primarily driven by the decline in the Company’s sales and was calculated using the present value of future cash flows.

		December 31, 2024
		Gross Amount				Accumulated Amortization				Loss on Impairment				Net Carrying Value
Finite:
Goodwill		$	256,823				—			$	256,823			$	0

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Long-lived assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, when relocating or closing a facility, or when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.

Foreign Currency Gain/Losses

Foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gain or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in Other Comprehensive Income. The Company incurred a foreign currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $97,763 and a foreign currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $3,889. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of FASB ASU 2020-06

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts by removing certain models that were previously required to be applied. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024 and has removed the effects of any embedded conversion features from certain of our convertible instruments as of that date.

Note 3 – Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations

During 2024, the Company received $9.5 million from issuance of debt.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $22.9 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $0.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of July 11, 2025, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, and it has a working capital deficit.

Management’s plans in regard to these matters include actions to sustain the Company’s operations, such as seeking additional funding to meet its obligations and implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its plans or in raising additional funds. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses could be materially affected.

Note 11 – Commitment and Contingencies

The Company is a party to asserted claims and are subject to 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 outcome, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On June 5, 2024, the Company received notification from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that it is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards under Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), requiring a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by April 6, 2025 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the NYSE American may commence delisting procedures.

The licensing agreement between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated in Q1 2024. The parties are engaged in active and constructive settlement discussions pursuant to the terms of the agreement’s termination provisions. Based on the settlement discussions, the Company anticipates that any final settlement will not exceed the amounts already recorded in its legal reserve and accrued accounts payable.

Note 12 – Tax Provision

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to determine which deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. Due to uncertainty about the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(1) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to our limited resources our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in providing material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting discussed below Following the 2022 evaluation by management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures we implemented new controls and process in 2023.

(2) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses related to a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and the small number of employees, resulting in a lack of controls to ensure   maintenance of documentation supporting transactions recorded in the Company’s accounting records. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.

(3) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting other than items highlighted above, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Not applicable.

Each director’s term will continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and any person performing similar functions) and employees. Our Code of Ethics is available at our website at www.splashbeveragegroup.com.

Clawback Policy

On September 20, 2023, the Board adopted the Splash Beverage Group Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), effective September 20, 2023, providing for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to restate any of its financial statements filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act in order to correct an error that is material to the previously-issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Adoption of the Clawback Policy was mandated by new Nasdaq listing standards introduced pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. The Clawback Policy is in addition to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which permits the SEC to order the disgorgement of bonuses and incentive-based compensation earned by a registrant issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer in the year following the filing of any financial statement that the issuer is required to restate because of misconduct, and the reimbursement of those funds to the issuer. A copy of the Clawback Policy has been filed herewith, and can also be found at www.splashbeveragegroup.com.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other transactions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, with regard to the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the applicable exchange listing requirements.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 9, 2025, for:

	●	each of our current directors and executive officers;
	●	all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and
	●	each person, or group of affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock.

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise specified, the address for each of the persons named in the table is 1314 E Las Olas Blvd. Suite 221, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 1,547,776 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.
