Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend beverages, particularly, smoothies, shakes and frappes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, except for the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Vendor Concentrations
The Company is exposed to supply risk as a result of concentration in its vendor base resulting from the use of a limited number of contract manufacturers. Purchases from the Company’s significant contract manufacturers as a percentage of all finished goods purchased were as follows:
Schedule of Contract Manufacturers Percentage of Finished Goods
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||||||||

| Manufacturer A | % | % | ||||||
| Manufacturer B | % | % | ||||||
| Other Manufacturers | % | % | ||||||

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, the line of credit and financing agreements. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts
receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances for credits and for any potential uncollectible amounts
due to credit losses. We make estimates of the expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on
our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our
customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Expected credit
losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, there was
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer | |
| A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers. |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract | |
| Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. For the Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer. | ||
| 3) | Determine the transaction price | |
| The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes rebates or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method. Provisions for refunds are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical and projected trends. |
| 7 |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated to that single performance obligation. | |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation | |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfilment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
Payments that are received before performance obligations are recorded are shown as current liabilities. | ||
| The Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a single product, frozen beverages. |
Storage and Shipping Costs
Storage
and outbound freight costs are included in selling, marketing and distribution expense. For the three months ending March 31, 2025 and
2024, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $

$
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents have not been included in the calculation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of losses incurred.
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Schreiber Dispute
The
Company’s products are produced to its specifications through several contract manufacturers. One of the Company’s contract
manufacturers (the “Manufacturer”) provided approximately
Over
the course of 2022, the Company experienced numerous quality issues with the case packaging utilized by the Manufacturer. In addition,
in July of 2022, the Company began receiving customer complaints about the texture of the Company’s smoothie products produced
by the Manufacturer. In response, the Company withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory, withholding $
The Company attempted to resolve the issues based on the contractual procedures described in the Supply Agreement. However, on November 4, 2022, in response to a formal proposal of alternate resolutions, the Company received notification from the Manufacturer that it was denying any responsibility for the defective manufacture of the product. In response, on November 10, 2022, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division (the “Complaint”), claiming that the Manufacturer had not met its obligations under the Supply Agreement, and seeking economic damages. In response, the Manufacturer terminated the Supply Agreement. On January 20, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary dismissal of the Complaint which allowed the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, as the parties were once again unable to come to an agreement, the Company re-filed the Complaint in California State Court in August 2023 and continues to progress through the court system.
In May 2024, the Company entered into a non-recourse litigation financing arrangement which is expected to be adequate to pursue the Complaint to conclusion.
| 9 |
Due to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, the Company is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible recoveries that could result from its actions against the Manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The disruption in its supply resulting from the dispute has and will continue to adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flow until a suitable resolution is reached or new sources of reliable supply at sufficient volume can be identified and developed, the timing of which is uncertain. The Company has mitigated the impact of the supply disruption with the introduction of its single-serve smoothie cartons; however the product format has not been accepted by some customers or as a substitute for the bottle product in all use cases.
Other Legal Matters
From
time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to
inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are

Note 7. Income Taxes
ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely
than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a
valuation allowance on all tax assets. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated effective tax rate for 2025 was
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2019 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
For the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Note 8. Liquidity
During
the three months ending March 31, 2025, the Company used cash in operations of $
The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flow, which are expected to improve with growth. As described more fully in Note 4, the dispute and subsequent contract termination with the Manufacturer has resulted in limitations in the Company’s ability to procure certain products necessary to achieve our growth projections and in elevated legal costs.
To
mitigate the impact of procurement constraints, the Company builds inventory in anticipation of third quarter seasonal requirements,
and has invested in materials necessary to carry out trials and initial production runs at new co-manufacturers. The Company secured
a receivables-based line of credit in August 2024 of $
The financial position at March 31, 2025 and historical results raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As described, the Company has completed steps to mitigate dispute related issues and raise capital. The actions taken have resulted in the alleviation of the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025, and other reports that we file with the SEC from time to time.
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to Barfresh Food Group Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Results of Operations
Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue and cost of revenue
Revenue increased $101,000, or 4%, to $2,930,000 in 2025 as compared to $2,829,000 in 2024. Our revenue in 2025 benefited from increased sales of our bottled Twist & Go smoothies.
We have been able to expand our capacity on a limited basis at our existing smoothie bottle manufacturer and have been developing an additional manufacturer relationship since the fourth quarter of 2024, after the candidate we contracted with in July 2024 was unable to successfully produce product at scale. We expect expanded capacity to become available in the second half of 2025, subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with pre-production activities.
Cost of revenue increased $371,000, or 22%, to $2,030,000 in 2025 as compared to $1,659,000 in 2024. Cost of revenue increased at a higher rate compared to revenue due to trial costs at our new manufacturer and elevated costs to supply product in a sub-optimal manner while the production process at our new manufacturer is under development. The increase was partially offset by the non-recurrence of costs to relocate our single-serve manufacturing line, which amounted to $45,000 in 2024.
Our gross profit was $900,000 (31%) and $1,170,000 (41%) for 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding production relocation costs, our gross profit was $1,215,000 in 2024 (43%). The reduction in gross margin is a result of product mix and new manufacturer trial and developments costs.

Our operations in 2025 were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.
Selling, marketing and distribution expense increased approximately $130,000 (19%) from approximately $694,000 in 2024 to $824,000 in 2025.
Sales and marketing expense increased approximately $103,000 (31%) from approximately $330,000 in 2024 to $433,000 in 2025. The increase is a result of higher personnel costs and broker commissions due to expansion of the broker network, as well as an increase in sample expense due to the introduction of our Pop & Go freeze pops.
Storage and outbound freight expense increased approximately $27,000 (7%) from approximately $364,000 in 2024 to $391,000 in 2024, slightly higher than the 4% rate of increase in revenue primarily because of freight inefficiencies resulting from supply constraints.

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $108,000 (13%) from approximately $855,000 in 2024 to $747,000 in 2025.
Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes. Personnel cost increased by approximately $110,000 (42%) from approximately $262,000 in 2024 to $372,000 in 2025. The increase in personnel cost resulted from increased head count, and acceleration of employer payroll taxes due to vesting of stock-based compensation.
Stock-based compensation decreased by approximately $145,000 (48%) from $303,000 in 2024 to $158,000 in 2025 as a result of lower expected attainment under our performance stock unit program.
Legal, professional and consulting fees decreased by approximately $76,000 (48%) from $157,000 in 2024 to $81,000 in 2025 due to a reduction in dispute related legal costs that are paid through non-recourse litigation financing that was arranged in May 2024.
Other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $14,000 (14%) due to increased information technology costs.

Net loss
We had net losses of approximately $761,000 and $449,000 for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in net loss of approximately $312,000 was primarily due to the 10.7 percentage point reduction in gross margin, from 41.4% to 30.7%, resulting in a reduction in gross profit of $270,000. We expect our gross margin to normalize in the second half of 2025 as new co-manufacturers are operating at full capacity and capability, improving our supply and cost structure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From July 2023 to March 2024, we executed subscription agreements for substantially all of a $2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering. The debt was available to be drawn in 25% increments, maturing on the anniversary of the draw, bearing interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless of earlier payment or conversion, and was mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of our common stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If we had not exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt had the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. On October 23, 2023, we issued $1,390,000 of convertible notes pursuant to the subscription agreements, and immediately converted $1,207,000 of principal and interest into approximately 820,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, on December 19, 2023, we drew down $470,000 in convertible debt and converted a total of $653,000 of principal and $4,000 of accrued interest into 495,331 shares of common stock. Finally, on March 27 and 29, 2024, we drew down $136,000 in convertible debt and converted the total drawn into 124,208 shares, settling all debt.
On February 5, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with several investors, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 1,052,793 shares of common stock at a price of $2.85 per share in a registered direct offering.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $506,000 in operations. Our net loss adjusted for non-cash operating expenses was a loss of $525,000, while changes in current assets and liabilities generated $19,000 primarily because of a reduction of $372,000 in inventory and increases in accounts payable and accrued expense of $222,000 and $218,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $670,000.
As of March 31, 2025, we had working capital of $2,848,000 compared with $606,000 at December 31, 2024, both excluding disputed accounts payable of $499,000 resulting from our dispute with the Manufacturer. The increase in working capital is primarily due to capital raised in the three months ended March 31, 2025 through the sale of common stock, partially offset by losses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our liquidity needs will depend on how quickly we are able to profitably ramp up sales, as well as our ability to control and reduce variable operating expenses, and to continue to control fixed overhead expense.
Our operations to date have been financed by the sale of securities, the issuance of convertible debt and the issuance of short-term debt. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations with the capital raised we will be required to raise additional funds either in the form of equity or in the form of debt. There are no assurances that we will be able to generate the necessary capital to carry out our current plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis and are effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
None.
PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As described in Note 4, the Company has an on-going dispute with the Manufacturer, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time.
From time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe a material unfavorable outcome to be remote.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
