Various jurisdictions have adopted or may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements or impose limitations on the availability of our products relating to the content or perceived adverse health consequences of some of our products. Several such labeling regulations or laws require warnings on any product with substances that the jurisdiction lists as potentially associated with cancer or birth defects. Our products already raise health and safety concerns for some regulators, and heightened requirements could be imposed.

Such campaigns could result in additional governmental regulations concerning the production, marketing, labeling, or availability of our products, any of which could damage our reputation, make our brands unrecognizable, or reduce demand for our products, which could adversely affect our profitability. If additional or more severe requirements of this type are imposed on one or more of our products under current or future health, environmental, or other laws or regulations, they could inhibit sales of such products. Further, we cannot predict whether our products will become subject to increased rules and regulations, which, if enacted, could increase our costs or adversely impact sales.

We
generated revenues of $2,364,093$2,214,542 and $2,364,093, respectively, for the yearyears ended December 31, 2024 from the operations of the business acquired,2025 and $104,066, during
the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. Our ability to continue
to generate revenue and grow our revenue will depend, in part, on our ability
to execute our business plan, expand our business model
in a timely manner. We may fail to do so. A variety of factors outside of our
control could affect our ability to generate revenue and
increase revenue growth.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 an explanatory paragraph
referring to our recurring losses from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without
additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional
equity or debt financing, reduce expenditures and generate significant revenue. Our financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and
2024 did
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The reaction of investors to the inclusion
of a going
concern statement by our auditors, and our potential inability to continue as a going concern, in future years could materially
adversely adversely
affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital.
Unfavorable
publicity, whether accurate or not, related to our industry or to us or our products, brands, marketing, executive leadership, employees,
Board of Directors,Directors familymembers, family, stockholders, operations, current or anticipated business performance, or environmental or social
efforts efforts
could negatively affect our corporate reputation, stock price, ability to attract and retain high-quality talent, or the performance
of our brands and business.
Our
business is sensitive to changes in both direct and indirect taxes. New tax rules, accounting standards or pronouncements, and changes
in interpretation of existing rules, standards, or pronouncements could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
results. As a multinational company based in the United States, we are more exposed to the impact of changes in U.S. tax legislation
and regulations
than most of our major competitors, especially changes that affect the effective corporate income tax rate. In August
2022, the U.S.
enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) which, among other provisions, implemented a 15% minimum
tax on book
income of certain large corporations. We continue to evaluate the various provisions of the IRA and currently anticipate
that its impact,
if any, will not be material to our operating results or cash flows. Additional tax proposals sponsored by the current
U.S. presidential
administration could lead to U.S. tax changes, including significant increases to the U.S. corporate income tax rate
and the minimum
tax rate on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. While we are unable to predict whether any of these changes will
ultimately be
enacted, if these or similar proposals are enacted into law, they could negatively impact our effective tax rate and reduce
net earnings.
Various
jurisdictions have adopted or may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements or impose limitations

such labeling regulations or laws require warnings on any product with substances that the jurisdiction lists as potentially associated

MDwerks,
Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was focused on effecting a “reverse merger,” capital exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more unrelated businesses (a “Business
Combination”) that would benefit from the Company’s public reporting status. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,
the Company completed two acquisitions as discussed in detail below.
Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Two Trees Beverage Company, utilizes ourthe Spirits Rapid Aging System,SRAS, validating the use of ourthis patented energy
wave technology within
the premium craft spirits industry. Our proprietary and patented molecular targeting system swiftly and sustainably
transforms distillate
to maturity, delivering traditional flavors in a fraction of the time with greatly reduced environmental impact
and cost. Precision engineered
to match traditional aging flavors and aromas, it has been used to produce over 50 SKUs and many award-winning
products.
Whiskey-as-a-Service
Among our accomplishments to start the year, we successfully launched our “Whiskey-as-a-Service” (“WaaS”) business model, offering use of the SRAS through a flexible technology license structure to enable customers to access this transformative technology with minimal upfront investment, while securing long-term, predictable revenue streams for the Company. We also offer on-site aging of bulk spirits.
We have signed new contracts with two companies for the construction and deployment of our proprietary SRAS and see excellent potential for multiple additional SRAS deployments by both customers within the next twelve months as well as by other third parties.
The first of these units is anticipated to be installed on site at one of the largest distilleries in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2026, with the second unit deployed approximately three months thereafter. The second contract is with a leading U.S. wholesaler and broker of bulk spirits for one SRAS unit at their facility, which is estimated to be installed in the third quarter of 2026.
Under both contracts, RFS will manufacture and assemble the SRAS units and provide ongoing machine servicing and maintenance in addition to the recurring monthly license payments from the customers for use of the SRAS units.
These contracts validate the economic and sustainability benefits of our SRAS units and provide us with attractive recurring revenue streams through licensing agreements and ancillary fees for ongoing machine servicing and maintenance.
Building on the momentum of our first two WaaS contracts, we signed a separate new agreement with an international spirits investment fund (the “Fund”) providing the Fund with limited exclusivity for the deployment of our SRAS units in three countries outside of the United States. To retain exclusivity, the Fund is required to deploy at least one SRAS unit annually in each of the three countries.
In 2025, we began aging tanker loads of distillate at our facility for one of our SRAS customers to fill immediate demand for aged spirits. In early 2026, we completed installation of a higher capacity SRAS at our Two Trees facility in order to increase existing production across our aging services and brand production.
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
On March 10, 2025, we appointed David Stephens as our Chief Financial Officer, effective March 1, 2025. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Stephens for a term of three years with the following compensation terms:
Asset Purchase Agreement
On January 27, 2025, Two Trees (the “Buyer”) and Brown Water Bourbon Xchange, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (the “Seller”) (collectively the “Parties”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”). According to the terms of the Agreement, the Seller sold to the Buyer 680 barrels of whiskey in exchange for 5,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”). On the same day, the Buyer and Seller closed the transaction.
Two Trees Beverage Company – New Uplifting Spirits Product Line In July 2025, our award-winning subsidiary, Two Trees Beverage Company, launched Uplifting Spirits, a new product line focused on supporting community and charitable causes, debuting with Land of the Sky, a limited-edition straight bourbon whiskey aiding Hurricane Helene relief efforts. We are proud of this initiative and pleased to donate ten percent of Land of the Sky sales to relief efforts, including aiding Western North Carolina, where many of our teammates call home.
RF Specialties, LLC – Molecular Sawdust Drying Machine Update We completed testing and are currently deploying our first Molecular Sawdust Drying System (“MSDS”) at a large lumber mill, which utilizes a proprietary molecular energy wave technology to adjust the moisture content of sawdust for production of wood pellets, an alternative green energy source.
The system offers scalable, flexible solutions for any tonnage of sawdust, catering to diverse pellet manufacturing needs. It utilizes patented technology to adjust moisture content as required, optimizing it to precise specifications. The system features precision automation for controlling temperature and drying parameters, ensuring consistent high-quality output. This adaptable system enhances safety and productivity, achieving uniform results with minimal downtime. The Company is also targeting applications of this process in engineered wood products, adhesives, wood forest products and food and beverages.
RF
Specialties, Inc. Acquisition
On
January 19, 2023, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between the Company, RF Specialties,
LLC (“RFS”) and Keith A. Mort as the sole member of RFS. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed
to acquire from Mr. Mort, and Mr. Mort agreed to sell to the Company, 100% of the equity interests and membership interests of RFS, in
exchange for the issuance by the Company to Mr. Mort of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange”).
Immediately following the Exchange, RFS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
RFS
is an innovative company pushing the boundaries of sustainable Radio Frequency applications. For over 13 years RFS has addressed companies’
most pressing challenges by implementing automated Radio Frequency Technology in a sustainable way reducing energy costs and increasing
speed to market when compared to traditional methods. By bringing Radio Frequency applications to market RFS has successfully elevated
a wide range of industries including structural engineering, food & beverage, and manufacturing.
Two
Trees Acquisition
On
February 13, 2023, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company, MD-TT Merger
Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Two Trees Beverage Co. (“Two Trees”).
Two
Trees produces a variety of aged alcoholic beverages using an innovative rapid-aging system. This scalable technology results in all-natural,
high-quality products, efficiently produced, with a reduced environmental impact. Our products are nearly indistinguishable from those
that are traditionally aged. Two Trees created a proprietary process that mirrors and accelerates the natural aging process that occurs
when alcohol is aged in wooden barrels over time. The true art of our craft spirits lives within the balance between the grain selection,
local water, and the full-bodied flavors from our toasted wood chip varieties. Our wood chips are selected to pair with specific grains
and toasted to just the right char, bringing rich flavor profiles to life with a hint of smoke.
In
consideration of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of the holders of Two Trees stock, subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, shall have the right to convert all of the shares of Two Trees stock into a total of 60,000,000
shares of Company common stock, which shall be apportioned between the Two Trees stockholders, pro rata, based on the number of shares
of Two Trees stock held by each of the Two Trees stockholders as of the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”).
Immediately following the Exchange, Two Trees became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Sale
of Assets
On
August 25, 2023, we entered an asset purchase agreement with an unrelated company, Dream Workz Automotive LLC, a Colorado limited liability
company (“Dream Workz”). Pursuant to this agreement, we sold certain tangible manufacturing assets of ours to Dream Workz
for a purchase price of $195,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid in a combination of cash in the amount
of $100,000 and a promissory note in the amount of $95,000 (the “Note”). The Note is unsecured and bears interest at the
rate of 8% per annum commencing as of August 25, 2023, and matures on August 25, 2029. The Company recognized a gain of $168,855 on the
disposition of assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on impairment of the Note of $97,533.
In
May 2024, the Company entered into two bill of sale agreements to sell two vehicles to Keith Mort, the former owner of RFS. Mr. Mort
assumed the loans associated with the two vehicles with a net book value of $130,492 and an aggregate principal balance of $72,592 at
the time of sale, and the Company recognized a loss on disposal of $57,900 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2,214,542 compared to $2,364,093 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenue of $1,350,114 in 2025 is attributable to the Two Trees business, compared to $1,324,823 in 2024, and $864,428 of revenue in 2025 attributable to product and service income from RFS, compared to $1,039,270 in 2024. The $25,291 increase revenue in the Two Trees business was primarily attributable to increased WaaS revenue which contributed $222,300 of revenue during the current year, which was partially offset by a decline in brand sales of approximately $150,000 and a decrease in bulk sales of $70,000.
In February 2025, we executed contracts with two customers related to the lease of an aggregate of three SRAS that are expected to begin producing revenue to the Company in the second half of 2026. We began building the machines for these customers in early 2025, and we expect to drive significant growth in revenue and gross profit in our Two Trees Distilling business from this new revenue stream going forward.
The $174,842 decrease in revenue of our RFS business is primarily due to significant non-recurring service revenue from RF Specialties during the prior year ended, December 31, 2024, totaling $520,000, partially offset by revenue from milestones reached on the development and installation of the MSDS in the year ended December 31, 2025.
We expect our RFS business to complete full installation of the MSDS in the first half of 2026, and to expand the number of systems installed at lumber mills across the southeast United States throughout 2026.
The
Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 include the results of Two Trees since the acquisition date
of December 8, 2023, and include the results of RFS from the acquisition date of December 27, 2023.
Revenue.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2,364,093 compared to $104,066 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue of
$1,324,823 in 2024 is attributable to liquor sales from the acquisition of Two Trees, compared to $104,066 in 2023, and $1,039,270 of
revenue in 2024 attributable to product and service income from the acquisition of RF Specialties, compared to $0 in 2023. The RF Specialties
business benefited in 2023 from contracts related to the design of industrial drying modules using the Company’s patented radio
frequency technology for use in lumber mills. In February 2025, the Company executed contracts with two customers related to the lease
of an aggregate of three Spirits Rapid Aging System that are expected to begin producing revenue to the Company in the second half of
2025. The Company expects to drive significant growth in revenue and gross profit in its Two Trees Distilling business from this new
revenue stream going forward.

- Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill
is not amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing on or between annual tests if an event or change in circumstance occurs
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. In testing for goodwill impairment,
the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to
a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing
the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, it can conclude the assessment. If the Company concludes otherwise, the Company is required to
perform a quantitative analysis to determine the amount of impairment. A quantitative analysis is performed at the reporting unit level
by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value to determine the amount of impairment, if
any. The Company has determined that it has two reporting units. During the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, and 2023,2024, no impairment expense
was recognized.
