AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Agrify Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a developer of branded innovative solutions for the cannabis and hemp industries. The Company’s portfolio of consumer-packaged goods brands includes Señorita brand which offers consumers hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages that mirror well-known cocktails like a margarita – in four flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita, Paloma and Ranch Water. Known for its clean, fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita offers a low-sugar, low-calorie alternative to alcoholic beverages and is available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s in eleven U.S. states and Canada, with plans for expansion and future availability in premier on-premises destinations. Other hemp-derived products including RYTHM beverages and incredibles and Beboe edible products are primarily sold online and through direct-to-retail partnerships
Agrify has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry. Prior to the exit of the extraction business on March 30, 2025, the Company’s comprehensive extraction product line (“the Extraction Business”), which included hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing, and lab equipment, empowered producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally, prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, the Company’s proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units(“VFUs”) enabled cultivators to produce high quality products for the cannabis industry.
The Company was formed in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2016 as Agrinamics, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Agrify Corporation. The Company is sometimes referred to herein by the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terminology.
The Company has eleven wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries” and seven out of eleven subsidiaries are related to discontinued operations.
On December 12, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets from Double or Nothing, LLC (“Double or Nothing”), the owner and creator of the Señorita brand of hemp-derived drinks as part of the Company’s strategic plan to reposition itself as a distributor of hemp-derived THC beverages and similar products.
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CP Acquisitions, LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with Raymond Chang, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating to the Company’s VFUs, including the related Agrify total-turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify InsightsTM software solutions (collectively the “Cultivation Business”). The sale of the Cultivation Business occurred following signing on December 31, 2024. The results of the Cultivation Business are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Cultivation Business associated with discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In connection with the reclassification as discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities were remeasured to fair value less cost to sell. For further discussion on the discontinued operations, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On March 30, 2025, the Company approved the winding down of the Extraction Business by March 31, 2025, including but not limited to, the sale or other disposal of all remaining assets constituting the Extraction Business, the cessation of all business operations related to the Extraction Business, the termination of any outstanding contracts related to the Extraction Business, and termination of any employees primarily involved in the Extraction Business. The results of the Extraction Business are presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Extraction Business associated with discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In connection with the reclassification as discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities were remeasured to fair value less cost to sell as of June 30, 2025. The balances as of December 31, 2024 reflect historical carrying values, without remeasurement. For further discussion on the discontinued operations, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On May 20, 2025, the Company
entered into a purchase agreement with VCP IP Holdings, LLC (“VCP”), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb
Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb”), a related party, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the equity interests in MC
Brands LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Core Growth LLC (together referred to as “MC Brands”). The assets of MC Brands
consist primarily of intellectual property rights to the incredibles brand. The aggregate consideration exchanged for the equity
interest was cash consideration of $
Nasdaq Deficiency Notice
On January 30, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) had granted the Company’s request for an exception through April 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)”), which was subsequently extended to May 15, 2024. As a result of the conversion of a convertible note and a junior note held in favor of CP, the Company regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement, On May 28, 2024, the Company received formal written notice from Nasdaq confirming that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from
the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business
days, the bid price for the Company’s Common Stock had closed below $
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
6
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025, as amended on March 28, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). The December 31, 2024 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, retrospectively adjusted for discontinued operations.
Accounting for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as described above, in accordance with the provisions required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company includes results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period, fair value of warrant liabilities, sales tax liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets, net realizable value of inventory, intangible assets, goodwill, and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
The Company regularly evaluates its assets, including asset groups or reporting units, for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company is aware of the impact that prolonged net losses can have on the fair value of underlying assets and the overall company. The Company is committed to ensuring that the carrying amounts of its assets are appropriately assessed and adjusted for any impairment, reflecting a true and fair view of its financial position.
Reclassifications
The Company effected a 1-for-15
reverse stock split of its Common Stock on October 8, 2024. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give
effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated. The shares of Common Stock retained a par value
of $
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation, specifically related to discontinued operations.
7
Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into and closed the Purchase Agreement with CP. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating to the Cultivation Business. On March 30, 2025, the Company discontinued the Extraction Business.
As the sale of the Cultivation Business and the exit of the Extraction Business represented strategic shifts that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, they have been presented in discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, separate from continuing operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as applicable. For further discussion, refer to Note 6 included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, primarily consists of amounts for goods and services that are billed and currently due from customers. In accordance with the current expect credited loss (“CECL”) impairment model under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), accounts receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which are an estimate of billed or borrowed amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific risks identified in customer or borrower collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer or borrower financial conditions. Accounts and loans receivable balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customer
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions generally exceed federally insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.
For the three months ended
June 30, 2025, the Company had one related party customer and one third-party customer that accounted for 10% or more of the total revenue
from continuing operations. A related party customer and a third-party customer represented
For the six months ended
June 30, 2025, the Company had three third-party customers that accounted for 10% or more of the total revenue from continuing operations.
These customers represented between
As of June 30, 2025, one
of the Company’s related party customers accounted for
Inventories
The Company values all its inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials, at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Write-offs of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material. The Company takes a physical inventory count at least once annually at all significant inventory locations.
8
Warrants
The Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock among other conditions for equity classification.
Issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance or when incurred. Issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contingent consideration, operating lease liabilities, long-term debt, related party debt, and pre-funded warrants. Refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
The Company generates revenue from continuing operations through the sale of hemp-derived THC products and related party licensing arrangements. The Company licenses intellectual property to a related party under arrangements that provide for sales-based royalties. The Company recognizes royalty income derived from licensing agreements in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), specifically, the sales-based royalty exception. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized through a five-step model, as outlined below:
| ● | Identify the customer contract: A customer contract is identified when there is mutual approval and commitment between the Company and its customer, the rights and obligations are clear, payment terms are set, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. Written or electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders are obtained if such orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer. |
| ● | Identify performance obligations that are distinct: The Company identifies distinct performance obligations in each contract. A performance obligation is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with readily available resources, and if it is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company’s revenue-generating activities typically have a single performance obligation. |
| ● | Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the sale of the product. This amount is determined excluding sales taxes collected on behalf of government agencies and net of any sales discounts, incentives, and returns. |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations: The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services provided. If a contract involves multiple performance obligations, each is accounted for separately if distinct, and the SSP reflects the price the Company would charge if the good or service were sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. |
9
| ● | Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied: |
| - | Revenue from the sale of hemp-derived THC products is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon delivery or shipment, as the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Payment terms vary by customer, but the time between revenue recognition and payment due is generally not significant. For products sold under consignment arrangements, revenue is recognized only when control is transferred to the end customer. The Company does not maintain a specific reserve for returns due to the limited circumstances under which returns are permitted in customer agreements. Payments for slotting, listing fees, or other marketing or promotional activities, where legally permitted, are recorded as a reduction in revenue unless a distinct good or service is received in exchange. |
| - | In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65 through 55-65B, royalty revenue is recognized only when the underlying sale by the licensee occurs, and the performance obligation has otherwise been satisfied. This approach ensures that revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned and determinable, consistent with the transfer of control of the intellectual property to the licensee. |
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Common Stockholders in conformity with the one-class method. The Company computes basic (loss) income per share by dividing net (loss) income available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted (loss) income per share adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of convertible notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company adjusts the net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average common stock outstanding for the effective of dilutive securities as presented within Note 15 – Net (Loss) Income Per Share. As the Company has reported losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, all potentially dilutive securities including convertible notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share for those periods.
Net (loss) income per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split effected on October 8, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes and is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2025 and the effect of this guidance will be reflected in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact that ASU 2024-04 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statement presentation and disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Revenue
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from continuing operations from hemp-derived THC products sales and royalty revenue.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations from hemp-derived product sales and sales-based royalty revenue. Revenue from hemp-derived product sales is recognized at a point-in-time when control transfers to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized over time as the underlying sales occurs in accordance with the terms of the related party license agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had no revenue from continuing operations.
The following table provides the Company’s revenue from continuing operations disaggregated by revenue type:

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable because the majority of the Company’s remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, including (i) performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measures
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company measures fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.
12
Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types | Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Warrant liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has certain financial instruments which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contingent consideration, operating lease liabilities, long-term debt, related party debt, and warrant liabilities. Fair value information for each of these instruments as well as other balances of the Company are as follows:
| ● | Cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. |
| ● | Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for estimated credit losses, which approximates fair value. |
| ● | The carrying value of lease liabilities approximates fair value due to the implicit discount rates used in the determination of the lease liabilities being consistent with the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time of lease inception and accounting for the duration of the leases. |
| ● | Long-term debt and related party debt, including the debt that has undergone troubled debt restructuring, is carried at amortized cost, dictated by the prevailing market interest rates at the time of each transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). |
| ● | The Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market at each reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised or expire. The fair value of the warrant liabilities is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
| ● | The Company has pre-funded warrants issued to a related party. As of result of the latest amendment executed as of December 31, 2024, the warrants met the requirements for equity classification and were marked to fair value as of December 31, 2024. The warrants will not be marked to fair value on a recurring basis. |
Warrant Liabilities
The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent the Company’s best estimate. The volatility rate is determined utilizing the Company’s own share price and the share price of competitors over time.
However, inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.
The following table summarizes the Company’s assumptions used in the valuations as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||

Note 5 — Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Such costs include the acquisition cost for raw materials and operating supplies. The Company’s standard payment terms with suppliers may require making payments in advance of delivery of the Company’s products.
Inventory consisted of the following as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Note 7 — Business Combinations
The Company has determined that the below acquisitions meet the criteria for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations. They are accounted for by applying the acquisition method, whereby the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values with any excess of the aggregate consideration over the fair values of the identifiable net assets allocated to goodwill (where applicable). Operating results have been included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of each respective acquisition. Supplemental pro forma financial information has not been presented as the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to intangible assets. For the intangible assets identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows and take into consideration other significant assumptions such as the expected use, market uncertainty and the intangible asset useful lives.
Acquisition of MC Brands LLC
On May 20, 2025, the Company

Note 10 — Leases
The determination as to whether any arrangement contained a lease at its inception was performed based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period. The lease term was determined assuming the exercise of options that were reasonably certain to occur. Leases with an original lease term of 12 months or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months were reflected as non-current right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As the implicit interest rate in its leases was generally not known, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present value of its lease liabilities. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate was determined using the interest rate on a long term debt position entered into at approximately the same time and for the same duration as the lease.
When a contract contained lease and non-lease elements, both were accounted for as a single lease component.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no active finance leases.
Also during the six months
ended June 30, 2025, in connection with the discontinuation of Extraction Business, the Company subleased the assets under one of its
leases, with the sublease commencement date on April 1, 2025, for $

As such, no operating lease cost, weighted average remaining lease term, or weighted average discount rate, and cash paid for operating leases are presented for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, there is no future lease payment related to continuing operations.

On August 12, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal
to amend the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to add the Adjustment Provisions at a future date. Pursuant to that approval, on August
28, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to insert the Adjustment Provisions. This resulted
in a reassessment of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants such that they no longer met the requirements for equity classification and
became classified as liabilities. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification, resulting in a reduction in value of approximately

Under the 2022 Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock units to employees, directors and officers. The restricted stock units granted generally vest equally over periods ranging from one to three years, subject to certain exceptions for directors. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock units is recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the vesting period.

Note 14 — Income Taxes
The Company’s effective
income tax rates were
The utilization of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar provisions in various state jurisdictions due to historical change in ownership provisions (“Ownership Changes”). These limitations may reduce the amount of NOLs available in future periods and may result in the expiration of certain NOLs before they can be utilized. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed an analysis of Ownership Changes, which had not previously been performed. The analysis identified multiple historical ownership changes that significantly limit the utilization of federal NOLs through the date of the most recent change on November 5, 2024, subjecting them to a minimal annual limitation. The Company is in the process of conducting a similar analysis for state income tax purposes. NOLs generated after November 5, 2024 are not currently subject to this limitation and may be available to offset future taxable income, although any future ownership changes could impose additional limitations. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, including NOLs, due to the Section 382 limitations resulting from historical ownership changes and the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the remaining NOLs before they expire.
On July 4, 2025, the One
Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBA”) was enacted, introducing significant and wide-ranging changes to the U.S. tax system. The bill

Note 15 — Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Net (loss) income per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s reverse stock splits. Net (loss) income per share was calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.
Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including the reflection of as-converted convertible notes, outstanding stock options, stock related to unvested restricted stock units, and outstanding warrants to the extent dilutive. Net (loss) income per share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net (loss) income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 because the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods, including convertible notes, options, restricted stock units and warrants computed using the treasury stock method, is anti-dilutive.
The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows:

Company had convertible notes outstanding with a principal balance of approximately $
27
For each of the periods
presented, the Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, and
convertible notes, have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share with the exception of the
pre-funded warrants, or penny warrants, which are included in the computation, as detailed above. The Convertible Notes outstanding during
the six months ended June 30, 2025 were also excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) per share as they do not represent common
stock equivalents unless and until conversion conditions are met. The weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding used
to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders is the same.

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may become involved in material legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our 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.
Bud & Mary’s Litigation
On September 15, 2022, the
Company provided a notice of default to Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. (“Bud & Mary’s) and certain related parties
notifying such parties that Bud & Mary’s was in default of its obligations under the TTK solution between the Company and Bud
& Mary (the “Bud & Mary TTK Agreement”). On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of Massachusetts in Suffolk County, naming the Company as the defendant (the “Bud & Mary Complaint”). Bud &
Mary’s is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of
contract and conversion arising from the Bud & Mary TTK Agreement. While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will
continue to vigorously defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations, litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can
be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this matter. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company deemed it necessary to fully

Bowdoin Construction Corp. Litigation
On February 22, 2023, Bowdoin
Construction Corp. (“Bowdoin”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in Norfolk County, Massachusetts (the
“Bowdoin Complaint”), naming the Company, Bud & Mary’s and certain related parties as defendants, captioned Bowdoin
Construction Corp. v. Agrify Corporation, Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. and BMLC2, LLC, case no. 2382CV00173. The Bowdoin Complaint
relates to a construction contract between Bowdoin and the Company relating to the property that is the subject of the Bud & Mary’s
Complaint, and alleges breach of contract by Bud & Mary’s and by the Company due to nonpayment of approximately $
McCutchan, Inc.
In December 2021, the Company
entered into a standard form of agreement between owner and contractor whereby Valiant Group LLC (“Valiant”) is the general
contractor for tenant improvements on certain real property located in Bellevue, Washington (the “Project”). McCutchan, Inc.
(“McCutchan”) agreed to be a subcontractor on the Project and engaged various other subcontractors (the “Valiant Agreement”).
The Company terminated Valiant as the general contractor for, among other allegations, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Following
the termination of Valiant, in October 2022, the Valiant Agreement was assigned and accepted (the “Assignment”) to Agxion,
LLC, a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company. The Assignment contemplates that, as a subcontractor to the Valiant Agreement, McCutchan
is still bound to the subcontract agreement and will continue construction operations on the Project. The Company is pursuing Valiant
in a separate litigation to collect no less than approximately $
Other Litigation
On February 9, 2022, a former sales Vice President of the Company filed suit against the Company claiming he is owed back wages, commission and is entitled to equity in the Company, under theories of liability under Massachusetts labor laws including retaliation, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraudulent inducement, tortious interference and unjust enrichment. The Company filed its answer to the initial complaint in January 2023. The Company believes this is a meritless claim and has responded to various discovery requests.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is potentially subject to claims related to various non-income taxes (such as sales, value-added, consumption, and similar taxes) from various tax authorities, including in jurisdictions in which the Company already collects and remits such taxes. If the relevant taxing authorities successfully pursue these claims, the Company could be subject to additional tax liabilities.

Overview
Agrify is a developer of branded innovative solutions for the cannabis and hemp industries. Our portfolio of consumer-packaged goods brands includes our Señorita brand which offers consumers hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages that mirror well-known cocktails like a margarita – in four flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita, Paloma and Ranch Water. Known for its clean, fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita offers a low-sugar, low-calorie alternative to alcoholic beverages and is available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s in eleven U.S. states and Canada, with plans for expansion and future availability in premier on-premises destinations. Other hemp-derived products including incredibles and Beboe edible products are primarily sold online and through direct-to-retail partnerships
In addition to hemp-derived products, Agrify has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry (the “Extraction Business”). Prior to our exit of the Extraction Business on March 30, 2025, our comprehensive extraction product line, which includes hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing, and lab equipment, empowered producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally, prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, our proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”) enabled cultivators to produce high quality products for the cannabis industry (the “Cultivation Business”).
Reverse Stock Split
On October 8, 2024, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our Common Stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock splits for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
Lines of Business
Hemp-Derived Products and Royalties
We acquired the Señorita brand of hemp-derived THC beverages in November 2024. Señorita was designed and formulated by world-class winemakers Charles Bieler and Joel Gott. Recognizing a growing generational demand for adult beverage alternatives, Bieler and Gott gave the classic margarita a modern twist—replacing alcohol with hemp-derived to create a delightful adult beverage alternative. Through the use of all-natural, premium ingredients like organic Mexican agave, fresh lime juice and sweet, tangy mango, Señorita quickly gained acclaim, taking home the top spot in The High Times Cannabis Cup just one year after inception. Gott and Bieler continue to collaborate on the brand with Mr. Kovler and the Agrify team.
32
Señorita currently offers four award-winning flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Paloma, Mango Margarita, and Ranch Water. Señorita’s hemp-derived beverages are currently available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s in eleven U.S. states and Canada. Products are also available for direct-to-consumer purchase where permissible under state law at senoritadrinks.com.
On May 20, 2025, we acquired MC Brands, which consists primarily of intellectual property rights to the incredibles brand. Concurrent with the MC Brands acquisition, we entered a License Agreement with subsidiaries of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb”), a related party, to use certain intellectual property related to the Beboe, Rythm and incredibles brands. The Beboe and Rythm licensing agreements are in connection with our production, marketing and sale of hemp-derived products to the extent such activities are legal under applicable state and federal laws in the United States. By contrast, the incredibles licensing agreement grants GTI Core (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb) the rights to use certain intellectual property related to the incredibles brand in connection with GTI Core’s existing state-licensed cannabis business. The consideration payable by GTI Core for the license rights consists of a monthly license fee, payable in cash, based on sales of product using the licensed intellectual property.
Co-Manufacturing Arrangements
Our finished goods are manufactured by various third-party co-manufacturers situated throughout the United States and Canada, under separate arrangements with each party. Our co-manufacturing arrangements vary in terms and, from time to time, we may enter into manufacturing contracts with agreed upon minimum quantities to ensure continuity of supply of certain products in certain territories. We continue to actively seek alternative and/or additional co-manufacturing facilities with adequate capacity and capability for the production of our various products to minimize transportation costs as well as mitigate the risk of disruption in production.
Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly with new products, and may be less precise during periods of rapid growth, including in new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products and/or are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials and/or procure adequate co-manufacturing arrangements and/or obtain adequate or timely shipment of our products, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.
Distribution Agreements
During the first half of 2025, we continued to expand distribution of our hemp-derived beverage products in our domestic markets. We have entered into agreements with various distributors providing for the distribution of certain of our hemp-derived beverage products, subject to certain terms and conditions, which may vary depending on the form of the agreement. Such agreements remain in effect for their then-current term as long as our products are being distributed, but are subject to specified termination rights held by each party. Additionally, we are entitled to terminate certain distribution agreements at any time without cause upon payment of a termination fee, which may be material depending on the agreement.
Discontinued Operations
Cultivation Solutions
Prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, we sold proprietary cultivation solutions to independent licensed cultivators as part of our Cultivation Business. The two primary products we sold were the VFUs and Agrify Insights™ software.
The proprietary VFU technology offered a modular, compartmentalized micro-climate growing system for indoor vertical farming. The VFU system was designed for craft farmers, single-state operators, and multi-state operators who were looking to consistently produce higher-quality crops at scale. The VFUs were designed to line up horizontally in rows, and could be stacked vertically up to three units tall.
33
The VFUs were designed to work in conjunction with the Agrify Insights™ software. Each VFU sold included a license for Agrify Insights™ and a monthly Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) subscription fee was charged per VFU. The VFU could not operate successfully without Agrify Insights™. Agrify Insights™ license agreements were generally for a multi-year term, with an annual auto-renewal.
Extraction Solutions
Prior to its discontinuation on March 30, 2025, our extraction equipment and business solutions that were a part of our Extraction Business could be used within indoor processing facilities by fully licensed cannabis and hemp cultivators and processors or in some cases, by individual processors for individual use in compliance with applicable law. We sold our proprietary extraction solutions to independent, licensed cultivators and processing labs.
We had strategically acquired four brands in the extraction space in late 2021 and early 2022: Precision Extraction, PurePressure, Lab Society, and Cascade Sciences. These brands encompassed hydrocarbon, alcohol, and solventless extraction and distillation and post-processing solutions. Our extraction brands provided equipment and solutions for extraction, post-processing, and testing for the cannabis and hemp industries.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions about the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, provision for litigation, inventory reserve, fair value measurements and useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets.
Financial Overview
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, business combinations, and stock-based compensation expense. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
Warrants
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own Common Stock among other conditions for equity classification.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance or when incurred. For issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification, they are recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and marked-to-market each reporting period with the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of the warrant liabilities are estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
34
The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent our best estimate. The volatility rate is determined utilizing our own share price and the share price of competitors over time.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We generate revenue from continuing operations through the sale of hemp-derived THC products and related party licensing arrangements. We license intellectual property to a related party under arrangements that provide for sales-based royalties. We recognize royalty income derived from licensing agreements in accordance with ASC 606, specifically, for sales-based royalties. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized through a five-step model, as outlined below:
| ● | Identify the customer contract: A customer contract is identified when there is mutual approval and commitment between us and our customer, the rights and obligations are clear, payment terms are set, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. Written or electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders are obtained if such orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer. |
| ● | Identify performance obligations that are distinct: We identify distinct performance obligations in each contract. A performance obligation is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with readily available resources, and if it is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our revenue-generating activities typically have a single performance obligation. |
| ● | Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the sale of the product. This amount is determined excluding sales taxes collected on behalf of government agencies and net of any sales discounts, incentives, and returns. |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations: The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative SSP of the goods or services provided. If a contract involves multiple performance obligations, each is accounted for separately if distinct, and the SSP reflects the price we would charge if the good or service were sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. |
| ● | Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied: |
| - | Revenue from the sale of hemp-derived THC products is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, typically upon delivery or shipment, as the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Payment terms vary by customer, but the time between revenue recognition and payment due is generally not significant. For products sold under consignment arrangements, revenue is recognized only when control is transferred to the end customer. We do not maintain a specific reserve for returns due to the limited circumstances under which returns are permitted in customer agreements. Payments for slotting, listing fees, or other marketing or promotional activities, where legally permitted, are recorded as a reduction in revenue unless a distinct good or service is received in exchange. |
| - | In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65 through 55-65B, royalty revenue is recognized only when the underlying sale by the licensee occurs, and the performance obligation has otherwise been satisfied. This approach ensures that revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned and determinable, consistent with the transfer of control of the intellectual property to the licensee. |
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”) which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
35
We follow the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-5, “Basic Recognition Threshold.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10-25-6, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. We have an uncertain tax position offsetting our research and development tax credits given we have not engaged any third parties to perform a study to support credits claimed under Internal Revenue Code §41 for tax years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2024. If recognized, none of the unrecognized tax benefits would impact our effective tax rate.
We recognize the benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. ASC 740-10-25-10, “Basic Recognition Threshold” provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740-10-25-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions considered effectively settled, we recognize the full amount of the tax benefit.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We follow the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”) establishes standards surrounding the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, such as options issued under our equity incentive plan.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying Common Stock, expected option life, and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying Common Stock.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of our traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon our history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. We calculate the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of our peer group stock price for a period consistent with the underlying instrument’s expected term. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and directors.
As permitted under ASC 718, we have made an accounting policy choice to account for forfeitures when they occur.
It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies disclosed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $41.0 million. Our current working capital needs are to support revenue growth and manage inventory to meet demand forecasts and support operational growth. Our long-term financial needs primarily include working capital requirements. There are many factors that may negatively impact our available sources of funds in the future, including the ability to generate cash from operations, raise debt capital and raise cash from the issuance of our securities. The amount of cash generated from operations is dependent upon factors such as the successful execution of our business strategy and general economic conditions.
As part of our growth strategies, we may opportunistically raise debt capital and raise cash from the issuance of our securities, subject to market and other conditions. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Indebtedness
Convertible Notes
On November 5, 2024, we issued a secured convertible note (the “November 2024 Note”) to RSLGH, LLC (“RSLGH”), a subsidiary of Green Thumb. The November 2024 Note is a secured obligation and ranks senior to all of our indebtedness except for the May 2025 Notes (as defined below), which rank on parity with the November 2024 Note. The November 2024 Note will mature on November 5, 2025 and has a 10.0% annualized interest rate. The principal amount of the November 2024 Note will be payable on the maturity date. The November 2024 Note provides for advances of up to $20 million in the aggregate, of which $10 million was advanced upon issuance. The November 2024 Note was amended on May 8, 2025 to issue pre-funded warrants in lieu of cash interest with 18,614 pre-funded warrants issued on May 8, 2025 and an additional 11,373 pre-funded warrants to be issued on September 1, 2025, which were issued in lieu of the cash interest that would otherwise be payable under the November 2024 Note. The number of pre-funded warrants is equal to the cash interest amount otherwise payable on the November 2024 Note divided by the closing share price on May 8, 2025, which is the effective date of the amendment. No changes were made to the conversion price of the principal amount of the November 2024 Note. On May 22, 2025, we and RSLGH entered into a second amendment to the November 2024 Note, which amended the terms to, among other things, permit RSLGH to elect, subject to any required approvals under Nasdaq listing rules, to receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the November 2024 Note at a conversion price equal to the existing conversion price of $3.158 less the $0.001 exercise price of each pre-funded warrant.
On May 22, 2025, we issued secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $30.0 million (collectively the “May 2025 Notes”) to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The May 2025 Notes are secured obligations and rank senior to all of our indebtedness except for the November 2024 Note, which ranks on parity with the May 2025 Notes. The May 2025 Notes will mature on November 22, 2026 and accrue interest at a 10.0% annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March while the May 2025 Notes are outstanding, in pre-funded warrants, beginning September 1, 2025. The principal amount of the May 2025 Notes will be payable on the maturity date. The May 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99% and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99%, in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion price per share will be $23.53, equal to the most recent closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the time the May 2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments payable in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded warrant will be equal to the $23.53 conversion price less than $0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules.

The following discussion explains the major components contributing to the net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as summarized in the table above. Each section below provides details on the key drivers of the cash inflows and outflows for the respective periods.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our operating cash flows included a net loss of $9.0 million, which included $735 thousand related to depreciation and amortization, $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $292 thousand gain related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and $3.5 million gain on disposal of Extraction business. Net cash was decreased by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.6 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $1.3 million, which included $782 thousand related to depreciation and amortization, $571 thousand of stock-based compensation expense, $404 thousand loss related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, $2.2 million gain from change in contingent consideration, and $5.9 million gain on settlement of contingent liability. Net cash was increased by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $782 thousand.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million, which primarily resulted from the related party acquisition of MC Brands.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided in investing activities was $336 thousand, which primarily resulted from $330 thousand in proceeds from the repayment of a loan receivable.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $30.0 million, which resulted from proceeds from May 2025 Notes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.1 million, primarily driven by proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $2.1 million and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes of 2.3 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are therefore not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Part I, Item, 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions that we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations and are recorded in the period in which they become known. We have identified the following estimates that, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, goodwill impairment assessment, intangible assets, revenue recognition and cost of goods sold.
The significant accounting policies and estimates that have been adopted and followed in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are detailed in Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included in the Form 10-K and Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. There have been no changes in these policies and estimates that had a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered in this Quarterly Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
For more information on recently issued accounting pronouncements are included within Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, included elsewhere in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
For more information on new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are included within Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, included elsewhere in the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by 17 C.F.R. § 229.10, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025, as amended on March 28, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.
Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, continue to focus on remediating the material weaknesses identified in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting, including adding additional qualified personnel, further documentation and implementation of control procedures and the implementation of control monitoring. While we have begun the process of implementing measures which we believe will remediate the underlying cause of these material weaknesses, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented and whether such measures will be effective. Until our remediation plan is fully implemented and effective, we will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to this effort.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than those measures intended to remediate the material weaknesses noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| 4. | If, by the expiration of the ROFR Exercise Period, the Seller has not accepted the ROFR Offer, and provided that the Purchaser has materially complied with all of the provisions of this Section 6.8(c), at any time following the expiration of the ROFR Exercise Period, the Purchaser may consummate the Third Party Transaction with the counterparty identified in the applicable ROFR Offer Notice on ROFR Material Terms that are the same or more favorable to the Purchaser as the Material Terms set forth in the ROFR Offer Notice. If such Third Party Transaction is not consummated within 180 days of the Offer Notice, the terms and conditions of this Section 6.8(c) will again apply and the Purchaser shall not enter into any Third Party Transaction during the ROFR Period without affording the Seller the right of first refusal on the terms and conditions of this Section 6.8(c). |
| 5. | For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of this Section 6.8(c) apply to each Third Party Offer received by the Purchaser during the ROFR Period. |

VII.
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
Seller hereby agrees as follows:
Section 7.1 Confidential Information. The Parties acknowledge that, in light of Purchaser’s business interests in the Acquired Companies and their Business following the Closing and Seller’s interest in protecting information with respect to its and its Affiliates’ business (the “Retained Business”) that has or may be disclosed in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, confidential treatment shall be afforded with respect to confidential or proprietary information related to the Business and the Retained Business that is not generally known within the relevant trade group or by the public, including all documents, writings, memoranda, business plans, illustrations, designs, plans, processes, programs, inventions, reports, sources of supply, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets and all other valuable or unique information and techniques acquired, developed or used by the Acquired Companies related to the Business or by Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be (hereinafter collectively termed “Protected Information”). Each Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other Party’s Protected Information constitutes trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary business information to which it has had access in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and which, in the case of Protected information related to the Acquired Companies and the Business, will be acquired by Purchaser upon Closing. Protected Information shall exclude information that (i) becomes generally available or known to the public by any means except disclosure by a Party in violation of the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) becomes available to a Party from a third party and such disclosure does not violate an obligation of confidentiality owed to the other Party, and (iii) is independently developed by a Party without reference to the other Party’s Protected Information. Each Party agrees to maintain all of the other Party’s Protected Information in strict confidence and to refrain from making any disclosure of any such Protected Information to any other party for so long as the Protected Information is not generally available or known to the public. Each Party also agrees to take all reasonable measures necessary to keep the Protected Information from being (i) inadvertently disclosed to any third party, or (ii) misappropriated by a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may disclose the other Party’s Protected Information (i) to its legal, financial, and other professional advisors, provided that such advisors are bound by professional or contractual confidentiality restrictions to the extent reasonably necessary to ensure the confidential treatment of such Protected Information and (ii) to the extent that, upon advise of counsel, it is legally obligated to do so, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) such Party gives prior written notice of such obligation to the other Party and reasonably cooperates with any effort by the other Party to limit the scope of such disclosure (at the other Party’s cost). To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of the License Agreement and this Section 7.1, the provisions of the License Agreement shall control. The restrictions set forth in this Section 7.1 shall terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 7.2 Scope. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article VII, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope, or geographical area reasonable under the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope, or geographical area. The Parties further agree that such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained therein to cover the maximum period, scope, or geographical area permitted by law.
Section 7.3 Remedies. Seller agrees that if it shall commit or threaten to commit a breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Article VII, then Purchaser shall have the right to seek and obtain all appropriate injunctive and other equitable remedies therefor, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available at Law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach may cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy therefor.

VIII.
INDEMNIFICATION.
Section 8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The respective representations and warranties of each of the Parties shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months, provided that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.17, 5.1, and 5.5 shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.14 shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”). None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.
Section 8.2 Seller’s Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, stockholders, agents, successors and assigns from and against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, threatened claims, causes of action, administrative orders and notices, losses, costs, fines, Liabilities, penalties, damages (direct or indirect) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and consultant fees and other expenses incurred in the investigation and defense of any actual or threatened claims or actions) (hereinafter collectively called “Losses”) resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:
(a) The inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty made by Seller in this Agreement;
(b) The breach by Seller of any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement;
(c) Any Pre-Closing Taxes; or
(d) any Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies outstanding as of the Closing.
Section 8.3 Purchaser’s Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, agents, successors and assigns, from and against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:
(a) The inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement; or
-27-
(b) The breach by Purchaser of any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Cooperation. A Party or Parties against whom an indemnification claim (“Claim”) has been asserted pursuant to this Article VIII (individually and collectively “Indemnifying Party”) shall have the right, at their own expense, assisted by counsel of their own choosing, to participate in the defense of any action or proceeding brought by a third party (including any Governmental Authority) which resulted in said Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), and if such right is exercised, the Party or Parties entitled to indemnification (individually and collectively “Indemnified Party”) and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of such action or proceeding.
Section 8.5 Nature of Other Liabilities. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim, and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim, the Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder.
Section 8.6 Certain Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent caused by a Party’s Fraud or intentional misconduct, the maximum aggregate liability of either Party with respect to breaches of representations or warranties made hereunder (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed $500,000.00, and neither Party shall be obligated to indemnify the other Party or its Affiliates with respect to Losses arising from breaches of such representations or warranties until such Losses, in the aggregate, exceed $37,500.00 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of either Party shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price paid at the Closing.
(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnified Party (or the Acquired Companies) in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.
-28-
(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized as a result of such Loss by the Indemnified Party.
(e) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple.
(f) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.
(g) No Losses may be claimed hereunder to the extent that such Losses either (i) were included in the calculation of the Purchase Price (pursuant to Section 2.2) or, (ii) had they been factored into calculating the Purchase Price (pursuant to Section 2.2), would not have resulted in a reduction in the Purchase Price.
Section 8.7 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
Section 8.8 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that from and after Closing their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims of Fraud against a Party hereto committing Fraud) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIIIError! Bookmark not defined.. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII.

Section 9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Documents and the Exhibits and the Schedules attached hereto, represents the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements among the Parties related to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, and all prior drafts thereof, including the Original Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement.
Section 9.5 Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by Purchaser and Seller. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by a Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
Section 9.6 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
Section 9.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner adverse to either Party. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(e) This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.
(f) The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not effect the interpretation of this Agreement.
(g) All section headings in the Schedules correspond to the sections of this Agreement, but information provided in any section of the Schedules shall constitute disclosure for purposes of each section of this Agreement where such information is relevant. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Schedules shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. No disclosure in the Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by Seller that in and of itself, such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business. No disclosure in the Schedules shall be deemed to create any rights in any third party.
Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement. The signature of any party that is delivered by telecopy or other means of electronic execution and/or delivery (including DocuSign) shall be effective and deemed an original.

The arbitration shall take place in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the JAMS International Arbitration Rules then in effect, and judgment upon any award rendered in such arbitration will be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be limited discovery prior to the arbitration hearing as follows: (a) exchange of witness lists and copies of documentary evidence and documents relating to or arising out of the issues to be arbitrated; (b) depositions of all Party witnesses; and (c) such other depositions as may be allowed by the arbitrators upon a showing of good cause.
