Sow Good commenced commercial sales of Sow Good-branded products in 2021 and expanded into freeze-dried candy and other snack categories in 2023. As a result of continued and accelerating declines of both our sales and the sales within the freeze dried candy category more broadly, in December 2025, we sold substantially all manufacturing and operating assets and entered into a long-term Distribution Agreement pursuant to which we transitioned to a commission-based, asset-light business model to pursue strategic alternatives. Under this model, we no longer manufacture products or own inventory and instead earn a fixed percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products.
Because this business model is relatively new, we have a limited operating history in our current form upon which to evaluate our performance, forecast future results, or assess the long-term sustainability of our operations. Our historical financial results were generated under a materially different vertically integrated manufacturing model and are not necessarily indicative of future results. This lack of operating history increases the uncertainty associated with our ability to accurately forecast revenues, expenses, cash flows, and working capital needs and to effectively plan our business.
Our future success depends on a number of factors, including the continued existence of the freeze dried candy category, our ability to find strategic alternatives in adjacent categories or other industries, our ability to build and maintain brand awareness, support product innovation, expand distribution through our distribution partner, and maintain productive relationships with third-party manufacturers and distributors. We must also effectively manage a lean corporate infrastructure while meeting the reporting, compliance, and governance obligations associated with being a public company. Our strategic priorities may need to evolve over time, and we may not be successful in adapting our strategy to changing market conditions, consumer preferences, or competitive dynamics.
In the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately $6.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur operating losses in the near term as we pursue strategic alternatives, invest in brand development, marketing, product support, personnel, and public company infrastructure. Even if we succeed in increasing gross receipts generated by sales of Sow Good-branded products, we may not be able to generate commission revenue in amounts sufficient to offset our operating expenses.
We cannot assure that we will achieve profitability in the foreseeable future whether through the continued sale of freeze dried candy or through strategic alternatives, or, if achieved, that we will be able to sustain profitability. Failure to do so could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.
Sow Good was formed and commenced commercial sales of our products in 2021, and in 2023 we started producing and commercializing our freeze dried candy treats, including our Sow Good freeze dried candy line and our Crunch Cream line. On October 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of S-FDF, LLC (the “Seller”), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller, dated June 9, 2020, as subsequently amended effective October 1, 2020 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The assets we purchased under the Asset Purchase Agreement were of a development stage business without any major customers or history of operations upon which to forecast future business trends. As a result, we have a limited operating history and limited experience manufacturing and selling our products, establishing relationships with consumers, customers, suppliers, vendors and distributors and building our brand reputation. These and other factors combine to make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast our future operating results, which in turn makes it more difficult for us to prepare accurate budgets and implement strategic plans. We expect that this uncertainty will continue to exist in our business for the foreseeable future. If we do not address these risks and uncertainties successfully, our operating results could differ materially from our estimates and forecasts, and from the expectations of investors or analysts, which could harm our business and result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.
As a developing company, we will need to adopt and implement a plan to increase awareness of our products, secure distribution channels, and foster and strengthen our supply, manufacturing and distribution relationships. It is likely our strategic priorities will need to evolve over time and our business would be materially and adversely affected if we do not properly adapt our strategies to our changing needs and changes in the market. As our operations develop and grow, we expect to experience significant increases in our working capital requirements. Even if we obtain additional capital and achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability and our failure to do so would adversely affect the Company’s business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
In the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we incurred net losses of approximately $3.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to expand our retail distribution, invest in our approach to build brand awareness, leverage our product development capabilities, and invest in production capacity and automation. As a result of our continuing investments to expand our business in these and other areas, we expect our expenses to increase significantly, and we may not achieve profitability in the foreseeable future. Even if we are successful in broadening our consumer base, and increasing revenues from new and existing customers, we may not be able to generate additional revenues in amounts that are sufficient to cover our expenses. We may incur significant losses for a number of reasons, including as a result of the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this filing. We cannot assure you that we will continue to achieve profitability in the future or that we will sustain profitability over any particular period of time.
To date, we have financed our operations through the sale of securities including public offerings and private placements of our equity, equity-linked and debt securities. We have devoted substantially all our financial resources and efforts to developing our products, workforce, and manufacturing capabilities. Our long-term growth and success are dependent upon the freeze dried candy category’s return to growth, our ability to find strategic alternatives, our ability ultimately to expand our manufacturing capacity and generate cash from operating activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or access the capital we need to grow our business. Our inability to obtain additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan as described herein and grow our business, to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.
the health of the freeze dried candy category;
Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our Distributors and their key personnel, including Ira and Claudia Goldfarb, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
Our future success heavily depends on the continued service of our Distributor and their key employees, especially the continued contributions of Ira and Claudia Goldfarb, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise would be difficult to replace. Our executive officers or key personnel could terminate their employment with us at any time without penalty. In addition, we do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. If one or more of our senior executives is unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in the present position, we may have to spend a considerable amount of time and resources searching, recruiting, and integrating a replacement into our operations, which would substantially divert management’s attention from our business and severely disrupt our business. This may also adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.
Our prior rapid growth mayhas not bebeen indicative of our future growth, and our limited operating history may make it difficult to assess our future viability.
Our revenues grew from approximately $88.4 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately $428.1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $32.0 million forreflecting the yearramp endedof Decemberour 31,former 2024.vertically However,integrated wemanufacturing sawand steepdirect-sales model.

Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been reclassified on our Statement of Operations as either a gain or loss on discontinued operations, net of tax. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reclassified a loss of $33.8 million and a gain of $8.1 million, respectively to discontinued operations.
Our historical revenue growth rates have not been indicative of future results. We initially saw a rapid rise in sales alongside the growth of the freeze dried candy category. However, those sales plummeted with the entry of larger candy companies into the freeze dried candy category and the subsequent substantial decline of the freeze dried candy category more broadly. Under our current business model, we expect future revenues to consist solely of commission revenue based on a fixed percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products, while we pursue strategic alternatives. If product sales through our distribution partner increase, we expect our commission revenue to increase accordingly; however, the absolute level and growth rate of such revenue will depend on factors outside of our direct control, including the performance and execution of our distribution partner and broader market conditions.

expand into international markets;
expand our existing channels of distribution;

grow our customer base;
cost-effectively increase online sales at our direct website and third-party marketplaces;
effectively introduce new products;
expand our production capacity, as necessary;
manufacture at a scale that satisfies future demand; and effectively source key raw materials.
We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives. In addition, we may face increased competition from current or new competitors that may reduce our market share and thereby limit our growth. Since the initial commercialization of our freeze dried candy treats in March 2023, we have not yet demonstrated the ability to sustain rapid growth over a long period of time or achievemaintain profitability at scale.profitability. Consequently, any predictions you make about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer operating history or had previously achieved sustained profitability.
Due to the highly competitive nature of our product sector,sector and the overall reduction of sales therein, we expect and intend to continue to introduce new products and evolve existing products to better match consumer demand. The success of new and evolved products depends on a number of factors, including timely and successful development and consumer acceptance. Such endeavors may also involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, greater than expected liabilities and expenses, inadequate return on capital, exposure to additional regulations and reliance on the performance of third-parties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.
Our strategy envisions the expansion of our business. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Our rapid growth has placed and may continue to place significant demands on our organizational, administrative and operational infrastructure, including manufacturing operations, quality control, technical support and customer service, sales force management and general and financial administration. We must continue to refine and expand our business capabilities, including in sales, marketing, product development, information technology, equipment, facilities and personnel, as well as our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We will also need to improve our operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.
We cannot assure that we will be able to:
meet our capital needs;
expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
allocate our human resources optimally;
identify and engage qualified employees and consultants, or retain valued employees and consultants; or incorporate effectively the components of any business that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.
If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations. Managing our planned growth effectively will require us to:
maintain a low cost of customer acquisition relative to customer lifetime value;
identify products that will be viewed favorably by customers;
enhance our facilities and purchase additional equipment at our facility in Irving, Texas; and successfully hire, train and motivate additional employees, including additional personnel for our production, sales and marketing efforts and our finance and accounting functions.
The expansion of our products and customer base may result in increases in our overhead and selling expenses. Any increase in expenditures in anticipation of future sales that do not materialize would adversely affect our profitability. In addition, if we are unable to effectively manage the growth of our business, the quality of our products may suffer and we may be unable to address competitive challenges, which would adversely affect our overall business, operations and financial condition.
We operate in a very competitive environment that is characterized by competition from a number of other retailers in the market in which we operate. We compete with large national and regional food retail companies, some of which have greater financial and operational resources than us, and with smaller local retailers, some of which may have lower administrative costs than us. We may beare at a competitive disadvantage relative to certain of our large national and regional competitors whose operations are more geographically diversified than ours.
Increased competition could hurt our business. The freeze dried candy category is fragmented and has seen a significant decline in itssales earlyduring stagesthe fourth quarter of development,2025, but itremains is becoming increasinglyvery competitive. We have experienced a reduction in revenue due to the entrant of a significant competitor in 2024. New competitors may easily enter the freeze dried candy market on which we are focused. The competitors may offer an equivalent or superior product to that of the Company. We expect the number of companies offering products and services in our market segment to increase.
We rely on Trea Grove, a smallsole number of suppliers to provide our raw materialssupplier, for certainthe manufacture and distribution of our treats, and our supply chain may be interrupted and prevent us from obtaining the necessary materials we need to operate.
On December 30, 2025, the Company sold substantially all of its manufacturing assets, including six proprietary freeze drying machines and other property and equipment with an aggregate net book value of approximately $10,793,563, to Trea Grove, a related party, for total consideration of $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Trea Grove, pursuant to which Trea Grove serves as the exclusive worldwide distributor of Sow Good's remaining finished goods inventory, with the Company receiving 10% of gross receipts from customer sales. The Distribution Agreement has a term through July 31, 2026. We rely on suppliersTrea and vendorsGrove to meet our high-quality standards and supply products in a timely and efficient manner. There is, however, no assurance that quality ingredients will continue to be available to Trea Grove to meet our specific and growing needs. This may be due to, among other reasons, problems with our suppliers’ and vendors’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to export or import materials, product quality issues, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as disease outbreaks or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, flooding or other catastrophic occurrences. If for any reason our suppliers or vendors became unable or unwilling to continue to provide services to us,Trea Grove, this would likely lead to an interruption in our ability to import our products until we found another source that could provide these services. Failure to find a suitable replacement, even on a temporary basis, would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our production targets, make it difficult to grow and would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, three key suppliers, Shandong Richfield Foodstuffs Co LTD, Albanese and Jiangsu Shengifan Foodstuff accounted for approximately 77% of our total raw material and packaging purchases.purchases for our products. Additionally, weneither doof notTrea haveGrove, no the Company has any contractual obligations for the continued supply of raw material and packaging from these key suppliers. As a result of this concentration in ourthe supply chain,chain for our products, our freeze-dried candy business and related operations would be negatively affected if any of ourthese key suppliers of Trea Grove were to experience significant disruption affecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products. While we have not had supply chain disruptions to date, and believe that we can quickly find additional sources for our products' raw material and packaging, incan be found. In the event that our supply from our current suppliers is interrupted, our operations may be interrupted in the interim resulting in lost revenue, added costs such as, without limitation, shipping costs, and distribution delays that could harm our business and customer relationships until we are able to identify one or more alternative suppliers.
Our results of operations and financial condition have been and could continue to be adversely affected by the loss of significant customers or any significant reduction in revenue volumes from our significant customers, which has occurred in the past and could occur in the future. Certain of our significant customers entered into exclusivity agreements in 2024 with larger new market entrants that have significantly reduced our shelf space and revenue. If other customers enter into exclusivity arrangements with our competitors, or other factors occur limiting our shelf space with significant customers, our revenue will be further reduced. In addition, the freeze dried candy category has seen significant declines in sales, which has led to, and could further lead to, the loss of key customers.
The challenges of competing with other non-chocolate confectionary businesses may result in reductions in our revenue and operating margins.
The retail food industry is very competitive, and particularly so in the non-chocolate confectionary segment. We compete with many companies on the basis of taste, quality and price of product offered, market access and customer service. Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our products and our ability to develop new items that appeal to a broad range of consumers. Shifts in consumer preferences, our ability to maintain shelf space in light of more powerful market entrants, our inability to develop new items that appeal to a broad range of consumers, or changes in our offerings that eliminate products popular with some consumers could harm our business. In addition, aggressive pricing by our competitors or the entrance of new competitors into our markets could reduce our revenue and operating margins by forcing us to reduce our prices on similar product offerings in order to remain competitive. We also compete with other employers in our markets for workers and may become subject to higher labor costs as a result of such competition.
We have been able to compete successfully by differentiating ourselves from our competitors by providing an expanding selection of freeze dried treats, competitive pricing and convenience. If changes in consumer preferences decrease the competitive advantage attributable to these factors, or if we fail to otherwise positively differentiate our product offering or customer experience from our competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our current competitors have, and potential future competitors may have, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger fulfillment infrastructures, greater technical capabilities, significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources and larger customer bases than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to derive greater revenues and profits from their existing customer bases, acquire customers at lower costs or respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in consumer preferences or habits. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies (including but not limited to predatory pricing policies and the provision of substantial discounts), which may allow them to build larger customer bases or generate revenues from those customer bases more effectively than we are able to execute upon. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these competitors.

Sow Good Inc. is a U.S.-based consumer packaged goods company that pioneered the freeze dried candy category. Since commencing commercial sales in the first quarter of 2023, Sow Good developed and scaled a proprietary freeze drying manufacturing operation dedicated to transforming traditional candy and snacks into novel, intensely flavorful treats it markets under the "hyper dried, hyper crunchy, hyper flavorful" brand positioning.
Recent Strategic Transactions
On December 30, 2025, the Company completed a series of strategic transactions that fundamentally changed the nature of its operations. The Company sold substantially all of its manufacturing assets — including six proprietary freeze drying machines and other property and equipment with an aggregate net book value of approximately $10 million — to Trea Grove, LLC, a related party, for total consideration of $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Trea Grove, LLC, pursuant to which Trea Grove serves as the exclusive worldwide distributor of Sow Good's remaining finished goods inventory, with the Company receiving 10% of gross receipts from customer sales. The Distribution Agreement has a term through July 31, 2026. Additionally, the Company completed a $3.0 million convertible preferred stock offering, the proceeds of which were used to pay down debt and for operational purposes.
As a result of these transactions, the Company no longer operates manufacturing facilities and has transitioned to a capital-light model for the duration of the Distribution Agreement. The Company's board and management are evaluating strategic alternatives for the business going forward.
On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with David Lazar for the private placement of two tranches of convertible preferred stock (. The Company completed the sale of the first tranche by issuing 1,500,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock with proceeds to the Company of $3,000,000, which were used to pay down debt, reduce headcount, and for operational purposes. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company expects to consummate the sale of the second tranche with the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock for additional proceeds of $3,000,000 in March 2026. The terms of the Series AAA Preferred Stock are substantially similar to the terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock, except that the Series AAA Preferred Stock are redeemable at a price of $200 per share, and each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 14 shares of Common Stock where each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 250 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Series AAA certificate of designations).
In connection with the Private Placement the Company experienced a leadership transition with (i) Claudia Goldfarb stepping down as Chief Executive Officer while remaining with the Company as Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), (ii) members of the Board Chris Ludeman and Joe Mueller resigning from the Board in connection with the private placement and strategic asset sale, (iii) David Lazar being appointed Chief Executive Officer and elected to the Board, serving as the Board’s Chairman and (iv) David Natan being elected to the Board and serving as Audit Committee Chairman following Mr. Ludeman’s resignation.
Products
Sow Good offers freeze dried candy and snack products. The freeze drying process removes up to 99% of moisture from products in their frozen state through the application of low heat in a near-vacuum environment, concentrating flavor and producing a uniquely crunchy texture with a long shelf life and natural preservation characteristics.
A Distinctive and Trusted Brand Name
We believe we have a distinctive brand that consumers trust and helps distinguish our product on crowded retail shelves. Since Sow Good’s inception, we have invested heavily to elevate the Sow Good brand by creating a distinctive and cohesive brand design that sparks consumer curiosity and a desire to sample additional flavors carried by Sow Good. In addition, we use premium packaging materials to communicate the high-quality nature of our products and differentiate ourselves from competitive offerings.
Sow Good is a trailblazing U.S.-based freeze dried candy and snack manufacturer dedicated to providing consumers with innovative and explosively flavorful freeze dried treats. Sow Good has harnessed the power of our proprietary freeze drying technology and product-specialized manufacturing facility to transform traditional candy into a novel and exciting everyday confectioneries subcategory that we call freeze dried candy. We began commercializing our freeze dried candy products in the first quarter of 2023, and as of December 31, 2024, we have twenty-one stock keeping units (“SKUs”) in our Sow Good Candy line of treats and three SKUs in our Sow Good Crunch Cream line. We sell our treats using an omnichannel strategy primarily focused on the wholesale and retail channels with less than 2% of sales coming from e-commerce as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, our treats are offered for sale in approximately 3,000 brick-and-mortar retail outlets in the United States.
We have custom-built a 20,945 square foot freeze drying facility in Irving, Texas. Freeze drying removes up to 99% of moisture from a product in its frozen state by applying a small amount of heat in an extremely low air pressure, near outer space-like environment, through the use of massive vacuum chambers, resulting in moisture being removed from the product at the speed of sound. This process of removing moisture from the product, which can take up to twenty-four hours, concentrates its flavor, creating a “hyper dried, hyper crunchy, and hyper flavorful” snackable treat. Our freeze drying process and expertise allow us to easily expand our manufacturing into other freeze dried snacks, such as yogurt snacks. Our commitment to providing the most flavorful and crunchy treats extends into the product packaging process, where our employees are dedicated to hand-packaging our treats through our precision packaging process in vigilantly managed low humidity conditions to protect our treats from reintroduction to moisture.
We have built six bespoke freeze driers using proprietary technology tailored specifically to our products which allows us to freeze dry up to 24 million units of freeze dried candy per year, creating a truly state-of-the-art facility in Irving, Texas. We also have six additional freeze driers, which we can have operational by the end of 2025, as needed.
Sow Good, co-founded by Claudia and Ira Goldfarb, brings over a decade of manufacturing expertise to the consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) sector, specializing in advanced freeze-drying technology. Leveraging our proprietary technology, Sow Good delivers innovative, high-quality products with a long shelf life and natural preservation. Beyond product innovation, we are committed to job creation and positive community impact, making Sow Good a forward-thinking force in the industry.
Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers, such as Five Below, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, 7/11, H-E-B, Kroger and Albertsons. In addition, we sell a substantial portion of our products through distributors such as Redstone Foods, CB Distributors and Lipari Foods. We believe there is a significant growth opportunity in increasing our shelf presence, SKU portfolio, and number of stores with our existing customers. As we scale production, we will have the ability to increase the availability of our products to these customers in current locations and distribution to more of their stores, while also broadening our SKU portfolio offerings. Bolstering our distribution and sales force will be a key growth driver for Sow Good so more of our products are available wherever our consumers choose to shop, whether it be a retail store, convenience store, or directly online. To further support our retail launches with existing customers and strengthen our brand name, we are also introducing our product displays with distinctive designs and product highlights to enhance our visibility in current stores and educate new consumers on the advantages of freeze dried treats. We believe this strategy will capture the attention of new consumers, further educate and attract current consumers, and ultimately, increase sales for our retailers.
Our omnichannel distribution strategy has three key components: retailers, e-commerce, and distributors. In aggregate, this omnichannel strategy provides us with a diverse set of consumers and customer partners, leading to a larger total addressable market opportunity than is normally available to products sold only in grocery stores, along with an opportunity to develop a direct relationship with our customers at our website, www.thisissowgood.com and our social medial pages.
We believe the growth of our business and ourOur future success is dependent upon many factors. While the factors and trends described below present significant opportunities for us, they also pose importantsignificant challenges that we must successfully address to enable us to sustain theand growthgrow of our business and improve our results of operations. These factors and trends in our business have driven fluctuations in revenues over the periods presented and are expected to be key drivers of our results of operations and liquidity position for the foreseeable future.
The State of the Freeze Dried Candy Category
While we observed the freeze dried candy category experience a significant rise in popularity during 2024 and the first half of 2025, we have observed market data showing a significant decline in sales in the freeze dried candy category toward the end of 2025. This decline could be the result of a number of factors, including the disjointed nature of freeze dried candy providers and the variance in quality, the arrival of large multinational market entrants and their desire to reduce competition in the space, or the exhaustion of consumer appetite of freeze dried candy. As a result of the slowdown in the market for freeze dried candy, the Company has transitioned to a capital-light model for the duration of the Distribution Agreement.
We are currently growingseeking to grow our customer base in a variety of physical retail and traditional wholesale distribution channels. Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers,retailers and distributors, such as Five Below, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, 7/11, H-E-B, KrogerAlbertsons and Albertsons.C&S Wholesale. In addition, we sellhave a substantial portion ofexpanded our productsmarket throughto distributorstwo suchMiddle asEast Redstone, CB Distributors and Lipari Foods.distributors. Given the nascent state of the freeze dried candy segment and the number of potential retailer and wholesaler customers, we also believe there is a significant growth opportunity with customer acquisition in both the retail and wholesale channels, domestically and internationally. Customer acquisition in these channels depends on, among other things, our go-to-market function and our ability to meet the demand of customers who require large volumes of products.
Ability to Expand Our Product Line
Our goal is to substantially expand our product line over time to increase our growth opportunity and reduce product-specific risks through SKU diversification into multiple products, including freeze dried products beyond our freeze dried treats, such as yogurt snacks and jerky. Our pace of growth will be partially affected by the cadence and magnitude of new product launches over time. We believe the commercialization of any new products will require us to hire additional employees within our product design and commercialization team, thereby increasing our marketing expense, as well as research and development costs within our administrative expense.
We expect supplies and prices of the ingredients that we are going to use to be affected by a variety of factors, such as war, weather, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the producing countries. These factors subject us to shortages or interruptions in product supplies, which could adversely affect our revenue and profits. In addition, we may face limits on the ability to source some of the candy for our freeze dried candy products.
Seasonality
Because we are early in our lifecycle of growth, it is difficult to discern the exact magnitude of seasonality affecting our business from a demand standpoint. While evidence of any demand seasonality is currently difficult to assess because of our growth, we anticipate certain holiday cycles such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day contributing to revenue fluctuations within a given year. In addition, candy purchasing in summer months may be reduced due to a variety of factors including greater levels of health consciousness during warm weather. Operationally, heat waves from July through October of 2024 presented challenges in transporting our freeze-dried treats in the summer months. These conditions led to reduced shipments, higher inventory levels, and a decline in revenue. Additionally, some candy transported via external distribution channels during the extreme summer heat melted, impacting its shelf performance. We worked to remove affected products from shelves and replace them promptly to support recovery in product velocity. In the short term, these measures have impacted our market reputation, sell-through rates, and operational results. As a result, we anticipate an annual temporary decrease in shipments of our treats during summer months, which we believe is consistent with the greater candy industry trend.
We deriverecognize revenues from the sales of our freeze dried treats. The Company recognizes revenues when orders are shipped to customers.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold, which may include inventory write-downs, consists primarily of facilities costs, material costs, and labor on the production of freeze dried treats.
The Company recognized federal income tax of $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets and permanent differences.
The Company recognized federal income tax of $123.6 thousand, and $0, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As a result of the Asset Sale Agreement and Distribution Agreement entered into on December 30 and December 31, 2025, respectively, the Company exited its manufacturing and omnichannel sales business for freeze dried candy and related products. Under the new business model, the Company operates as a commission-based distribution agent and earns a percentage of distributor gross receipts from sales of Sow Good-branded products. Because the prior manufacturing and product sales activities were discontinued as part of these transactions, all revenues associated with the sale of freeze dried candy and related products have been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company recognized no revenue from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been reclassified on our Statement of Operations as either a gain or loss on discontinued operations, net of tax. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we reclassified a loss of $33.8 million and a gain of $8.1 million, respectively to discontinued operations.
Sales of freeze dried candy were $32.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $16.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $15.9 million, or 99%. Revenues increased over the comparative period due to the pivot to freeze dried candy for the full twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the majority of candy sales occurring the last six months of 2023, the increased capacity from the installation of 3 new freezers during 2024, and addition of new retail customers.
As a result of the transactions described above, the Company no longer manufactures or sells products directly and therefore does not incur cost of goods sold in its continuing operations. All costs associated with the manufacturing and sale of freeze dried candy, including inventory write-downs, production costs, and related overhead previously included in cost of goods sold, have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. These costs include charges recorded to write down finished goods and raw materials inventory associated with SKUs the Company no longer intends to produce or sell, as well as related overhead allocations associated with the discontinued manufacturing operations.
Cost of goods sold for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were $19.0 million, compared to $12.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $6.2 million, or 49%.

The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $388,506 in travel and entertainment costs.
Depreciation of property and equipment was $826.9$33.1 thousand and $459.4 thousand, of which and $795.3 thousand and $355.3 thousand was allocated to cost of goods sold, resulting in net depreciation expense of $31.6 thousand and $104.1 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively.
Other expense consisted primarily of interest expense on notes payable of $156.6 thousand and $741.2 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $57.6 thousand of impairment expense on long lived assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in interest expense compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to a reduction in the average outstanding balance of notes payable during the period. Certain interest expense related to discontinued operations was been included in gain (loss) on discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Net loss on continuing operations
In the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, other expense was $2.0 million, consisting of $1.5 million of interest expense on our notes payable and $696.5 thousand of loss on early extinguishment of debt. During the comparative twelve months ended December 31, 2023, other expense was $1.8 million, consisting of interest expense on our notes payable. Interest expense decreased by $380.0 thousand or 20%, due to repayments of notes payable during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt, and decreased the principal upon which stated interest is calculated.
Net loss

The increaseddecreased working capital is mainly attributable to increasesdecreases in inventory of $16.2approximately million,$20.4 accounts receivable of $2.1 million,million and cash of $1.3 million, partially offset by the increase in the current portion of our lease liability of $2.0$2.2 million.

We expect to continue to incur significant capital expenditures related to the development and operation of our freeze dried treat business. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely dependent on our success in deploying additional capital.2024. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on handhand, andhowever we will require additional financing in the form of equity or debt which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

We are conducting this at-the-market offering shortly
following this management and board transition. Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will be relying on the judgment and leadership
of an executive team and Board that have limited experience in their current roles with our company and limited familiarity with our business
and industry.
We have in the past, and may in the future, be unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.
We have in the past, and may in the future, be
unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.
For example, on May 14, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock
for the 30 consecutive business days, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq
pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days,
or until November 10, 2025, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On November 11, 2025, Nasdaq
subsequently issued a letter providing us with an additional 180 day compliance period, or until May 11, 2026 to regain compliance.
In order to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Rule, our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during
the Minimum Bid Price Compliance Period (which we believe we cured on May 7, 2026). However, if it appears to Nasdaq that we will be unable
to cure the deficiency, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. There can be no assurance that
the Nasdaq staff would grant our request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification. In the event of such a notification,
we may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities.
Further, on April 7, 2026, we received written
notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, based upon the stockholders’ equity reported in our Form
10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025, we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires a company
to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar
days, or until May 22, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company
an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until October 4, 2026, to evidence compliance. If the Company’s
plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard is not accepted or if it is accepted but the Company does
not regain compliance by the end of the extension granted by Nasdaq, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for
continued listing, Nasdaq staff could provide notice that the Company’s common shares will become subject to delisting. In such
event, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to request a hearing to appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel, which would stay any further delisting
actions through the hearings process. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain its Nasdaq listing.
There is no assurance that we will regainmaintain compliance with, or maintain
compliance with the minimum listing requirements with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
If our common stock
were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market
established for unlisted
securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely
find it less convenient
to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market,
and many investors would
likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing
them from trading
in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock
would be subject
to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The
regulations relating
to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors
such as broker commissions
generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would
further limit the ability
of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through
alternative financing
sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors,
suppliers, customers and
employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely
affect the liquidity,
trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an
adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified
employees and to raise
capital.

to the Company’s

Professional Services
Professional services expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $2,791,425, compared to $450,553 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $2,340,872, or 520%.

The Company recorded $2,500 in depreciation and amortization expense within continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $17,167 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease reflects the December 2025 restructuring, which eliminated substantially all of the Company’s depreciable asset base.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company wrote off the remaining net book value of its capitalized software. That write-off, together with the related depreciation recorded in the period, is presented as a loss on disposal of assets of $19,167 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, within other expense. No loss on disposal was recorded in the corresponding periods of 2025. The Company had no remaining property and equipment at June 30, 2026.
Depreciation associated with the Company’s former manufacturing assets is presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented and is therefore excluded from continuing operations.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $324,109, compared to $295,739 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $32,648, or 29%. The composition of interest expense differed between periods. The current period includes $255,865 of amortization of debt discount on the Company’s convertible notes payable, compared to $165,997 in the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in face interest to $92,949 from $129,742 following the repayment of outstanding indebtedness with a portion of the proceeds of the Private Placement completed in December 2025. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $43,871, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $43,871, or 100%. The increase is solely attributable to interest received from certificates of deposit.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $5,785,748, compared to $3,039,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase in loss of $2,746,120, or 90%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2,340,872 increase in professional services expense, driven principally by legal fees incurred in connection with the Private Placement, the issuance of the Series AAA Preferred Stock, the reverse stock split and the Company’s evaluation of strategic alternatives, and a $666,699 increase in salaries and benefits, partially offset by a $275,154 decrease in other general and administrative expenses.
Loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $583,032, compared to $3,717,938 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $3,134,906, or 84%. Discontinued operations reflect the results of the Company’s former manufacturing and direct-sales business, substantially all of the assets of which were sold in December 2025, together with commission revenue earned under the Distribution Agreement. The decrease reflects the absence of manufacturing operating losses recognized in the prior year period.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $6,368,780, compared to $6,757,566 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $388,786, or 6%. The decrease reflects the improvement in results of discontinued operations, substantially offset by the increase in loss from continuing operations described above.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of its historical net loss position and the uncertainty regarding the realization of those assets. The Company recognized no provision for or benefit from income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate for each period differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance.
