Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties arising from our need for additional capital to continue and expand our operations, our ability to raise the capital needed on favorable terms or at all, our ability to meet regulatory requirements including the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE American, our ability to meet our debt obligations and the negative financial and operational consequences of failing to do so, our ability to generate revenue from our beverage businesses, our ability to pursue and execute on our business plan including new ventures and the risks and challenges we will face in such endeavors, challenges in protecting and maintaining intellectual property rights including under existing agreements, the intense competition we face in our industry, and if we pursue any strategic alternatives the many risks we may encounter in evaluating any such alternatives and consummating any transaction. We also refer you to the Risk Factors which begin on page 4 of this Prospectus, and the other documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for both an expanded discussion of the risks and uncertainties described above and additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.

About Us – Company Overview
We are seeking to manage brands across viable growth segments within the consumer beverage industry. Splash has built organizational capabilities and an infrastructure enabling it to incubate and/or acquire brands with the intention of efficiently accelerating them to higher volume and sales revenue.
We have not generated any revenue since March 2025 due to our lack of capital. However, following the private placement offering in September 2025 in which we sold secured promissory notes, referred to herein as “Notes,” for total gross proceeds of $2,000,000 and entered into the ELOC Agreement allowing us to access additional capital subject to certain requirements and conditions, we plan to access and deploy such capital to re-commence certain of our operations and to establish new operations as described below.
We believe the distribution landscape in the beverage industry is changing rapidly as tech-enabled e-commerce business models are thriving. Direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction in the future. Recognizing this opportunity Splash continues to shape its operating model to be vertically integrated with our e-commerce platform, Qplash, which business model envisions purchasing local and regional brands for developing a direct line of sales to boutique retail stores and consumers.
Splash’s alcoholic beverage operations are currently focused on obtaining inventory for the sale of Chispo tequila in the U.S. and certain international markets, which is subject to the Company obtaining necessary capital of at least $500,000.
In June 2025 the Company acquired water extraction rights to an aquifer located in Costa Rica, which we refer to herein as the “Water Assets.” Subject to accessing the necessary capital and infrastructure, our business plan for the Water Assets envisions the extraction, bottling and sale of high quality drinking water. As of the date hereof, we have received a purchase order from a customer in the United Arab Emirates. We need to raise approximately $4,000,000 in order to bottle, package, and ship this order.
On November 24, 2025, Splash Beverage Group II Inc. (“SBII”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with BAAD Ventures, LLC (“BAAD”), in connection with a newly formed entity, BAAD Beverages LLC, LLC (the “JV Entity”) pursuant to which the parties established a joint venture for the sale of adult, THC and CBD beverage products. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, SBII received a 51% financial interest in the JV Entity in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $25,500, with BAAD receiving the remaining 49% in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $24,500.
Our team led by William Meissner has experience in all levels of beverage distribution system used in the beverage industry. Our President and Chief Marketing Officer, William Meissner, has led major beverage brands including Sparkling Ice, Fuze, Sweet Leaf Tea and Jones Soda.
Because of our lack of revenue and the amount of capital we acquire to begin to generate revenue for each of our beverage businesses, we have begun looking at strategic alternatives where we may make an acquisition of assets or a business that presents value for our stockholders. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not reached any understandings with respect to any business opportunity, and we may not do so. Any future acquisition of an unrelated business will likely require us to raise capital to support its operations even if we only issue equity securities to the seller. In addition, we are engaged in preliminary discussions with respect to acquiring a majority interest in a beverage product.

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the following Risk Factors before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition. If any of the events discussed in the Risk Factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of the Common Stock could decline.
Risks Related to our Business
Because we lack the capital to acquire inventory and market our products, we have generated no revenue since March 2025, making our ability to remain in operation more difficult, and there are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As reflected in this the financial statements contained herein, we had $0 revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025. In fact, we have not generated any revenue since March 2025. In order to generate revenue, we require at least $2,000,000 of working capital in order to acquire inventory and re-commence minimal operations. This does not include our plans for our Costa Rica water assets acquired in June 2025 (the “Water Assets”) or Chispo tequila business plans which will require substantial additional capital. Specifically, management estimates needing approximately $6 million to achieve short term goals and approximately $22 million to achieve the Company’s goals for the next 12 months with respect to the Water Assets, which would include constructing a bottling facility at the location of the Water Assets in Costa Rica, and other aspects of its business plan. Our lack of cash resources has prevented us from carrying on our commercialization activities. In addition, our lack of working capital has prevented us from marketing our products. Further, even if we can access the necessary capital, the Company must determine whether and what extent to invest such capital into various aspects of our business, including recommencing sales of tequila products, operating the Qplash platform and developing an infrastructure and business around the extraction and sale of water through our recently acquired extraction rights in Costa Rica, and we may be unsuccessful in developing and executing a business plan in this regard. While we have made substantial improvements to our balance sheet earlier in 2025, unless we raise enough money to not only pay our ongoing general and administrative expenses but also market our products and purchase inventory, we will not be able to remain operational.
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders will lose all or some of their investments.
Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. This has continued as of the date of this Prospectus.
We have sustained recurring losses and we have had working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financing or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
In order to continue and fund its operations, the Company will be required to obtain additional resources through sales and issuances of indebtedness or equity to successfully execute its business plans. No assurances can be given the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, if needed, or on acceptable terms. Sales of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents would have the effect of diluting existing stockholders. The issuance of debt instruments and certain other securities generally are accompanied by restrictive covenants which would impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to operate or engage in or raise capital through subsequent transactions. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital on favorable terms, within the timeframes needed or at all, we could be forced to cease operations, and you could lose all or some of your investment.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses before reaching profitability.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations and generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The size of our losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures, our ability to execute our business plan and our ability to generate revenues. We incurred a net loss of $23,756,551 million including non-cash items and an accumulated deficit of $155,832,277 including non-cash items for the year ended December 31, 2024. We had a net loss of $9,886,045 including non-cash items for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and an accumulated deficit of $178,284,467 as of September 30, 2025.
We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our financial condition. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance and we do not generate significant revenues, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, for which we can provide no assurance, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our Company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
Our strategic initiatives including acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful and may divert our management’s attention away from operations and could create general customer uncertainty.
We have begun to explore strategic alternatives to our beverage business. Our growth strategy is based in part on growth through strategic initiatives including both acquisitions and divestitures of brands and assets, which poses a number of risks. We may not be successful in identifying appropriate acquisition candidates, achieving targeted values as part of a disposition, consummating an acquisition or divestiture on satisfactory terms, integrating any newly acquired or expanded business with our current operations, or separating a divested business or commingled operation effectively. We may issue additional equity, incur long-term or short-term indebtedness, spend cash or use a combination of these for all or part of the consideration paid in future acquisitions or expansion of our operations, which may not be available to us on terms we find advantageous or acceptable, if at all. In addition, subject to any requirements in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness, we may have significant discretion in how we employ the consideration received in a divestiture and our management may not apply such consideration in a way that is ultimately accretive to our business.
The execution of our strategic initiatives will likely entail incurring goodwill assets or repositioning or similar actions that in turn require us to record impairments, restructuring and other charges. Any such charges would result in additional expense. We cannot guarantee that any future business acquisitions or divestitures will be pursued or that any acquisitions or divestitures that are pursued will be consummated.
Additionally, any acquisition or disposition (including the successful integration and separation of operations, products and personnel) may place a significant burden on our management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention, and any difficulties encountered in such a process, could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Failure to successfully integrate acquired assets or businesses, or if integrated, failure to further the Company’s business strategy, may result in the Company’s inability to realize any benefit from such acquisition or other adverse consequences.
In June 2025 we acquired the Water Assets in Costa Rica in exchange for 20,000 shares of a newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) having a stated value of $20 million. Unidentified liabilities or other issues may arise with respect to the Water Assets, which could expose us to litigation, unexpected costs, regulatory actions and other negative events that could materially harm our business and financial condition. Further, we intend for the Water Assets to be a critical part of our business plan moving forward, subject to accessing the necessary capital, and the Water Assets may not yield the benefits expected or desired for our business. In addition,
5
we may face challenges in integrating and utilizing the Water Assets, particularly given their location in a foreign country relative to our operations in the U.S., and given that the Water Rights are not accounted for as a separate business and will therefore require the investment of resources to monetize and integrate into our other operations. For example, the assets’ location in Costa Rica require us to hire personnel and comply with laws in a foreign country, and to establish a production and distribution channel unique to this business which we do not currently have in place for our prior or legacy products, and we may be unable to effectively manage these efforts without incurring extensive costs or at all. The recent resignations of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will put a further strain on our resources. These early activities will include site visits, planning and negotiating with bottlers. Further, the time needed to construct our own facility to extract water is estimated to take at least one year, if we are able to obtain the necessary capital we will need to rely on third parties for extraction, production, and distribution and pay additional expenses leading to reduced gross profit margins. In the meantime, we intend to use third parties to assist in extraction and distribution efforts, and we may be unable to negotiate favorable terms, maintain relationships or prevent uncontrollable events which may arise from our use of third parties, exposing us to risk. If we are unable to extract the water in sufficient quantities, comply with regulatory requirements or otherwise integrate the Water Assets and develop and meet demand for our water brands, we may be unable to launch operations from the Water Assets or generate material revenue therefrom in the near term or at all. Further, the long-term commercial success of this venture will depend on our ability to timely and in a cost-effective manner pursue and develop an infrastructure and network to extract and distribute water in high quantities and in compliance with applicable regulatory and commercial requirements. If we are unsuccessful in navigating these challenges with respect to the Water Rights, it could fail to result in benefits to our Company, and we could be materially adversely affected by any of the foregoing events.
In general, the consummation and integration of any acquired business, product or other assets into the Company may be complex and time-consuming and, if such businesses and assets are not successfully integrated, the Company may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities. Furthermore, these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further the Company’s business strategy as anticipated, expose the Company to increased competition or other challenges with respect to the Company’s products or geographic markets, and expose the Company to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business, technology or other asset or arrangement. There are no guarantees that the Company will successfully consummate such acquisitions, and even if the Company consummates such acquisitions, the procurement of applications for licenses required to sell or distribute related products may never result in the grant of a license by any state or local governmental or regulatory agency and the transfer of any rights to licenses may never be approved by the applicable federal, state and/or local governmental or regulatory agency.
Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We aim to sell beverages comprised of a number of unique brands with reputations and consumer imagery that have been built over time. Our investments in marketing as well as our strong commitment to product quality are intended to have a favorable impact on brand image and consumer preferences. If we do not adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics, consumer and economic trends, health concerns and product preferences, our financial results could be adversely affected.
Additionally, failure to introduce new brands, products or product extensions into the marketplace as current ones mature and to meet the changing preferences of consumers could prevent us from gaining market share and achieving long-term profitability. Product lifecycles can vary, and consumer preferences and loyalties change over time. Although we try to anticipate these shifts and innovate new products to introduce to our consumers, we may not succeed. Consumer preferences also are affected by factors other than taste, such as health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns, shifting consumer needs, changes in consumer lifestyles, increased consumer information and competitive product and pricing pressures. Sales of our products may be adversely affected by negative publicity associated with these issues. If we do not adequately anticipate or adjust to respond to these and other changes in consumer preferences, we may not be able to maintain and grow our brand images, and our sales may be adversely affected.
6
Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.
The principal raw materials we use include glass bottles, aluminum cans, polyethylene terephthalate, fiber-board, labels and cardboard cartons, flavorings and sweeteners. These component and ingredient costs are subject to fluctuation and environmental regulation. If there were to be substantial increases in the prices of these products, to the extent that they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, it would increase our operating costs. If our supply of these raw materials is impaired or if prices increase significantly due to tariffs or any other reason, it could affect the affordability of our products and reduce revenues.
If we are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including glass, sugar, and other key supplies at acceptable prices, within a reasonable timeframe, at the locations needed or in general, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.
International trade developments, including U.S. trade tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, could adversely impact our business.
International trade developments, including heightened tariffs imposed by the United States under the Trump Administration on goods imported from various countries, and tariffs imposed by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact our business. We and third parties on which we depend source various supplies used in our products from foreign countries, and tariffs and other international trade developments could therefore result in inflationary pressures that directly impact our costs for manufacturing and marketing products. These developments could also adversely impact global supply chains which could further increase costs for us and/or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies.
Significant new or increased tariffs, import and excise duties, or other taxes on or impacting beverage products, including raw and packaging materials, such as on imports from Mexico and Costa Rica and exports to countries in which we plan to sell our products such as the United Arab Emirates from which we source many of our supplies for our products, and any additional retaliatory tariffs imposed by those governments on products imported into the U.S., could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations. These developments continue to pose a significant risk to our business as well as the U.S. and global economies, including by shifting consumer behaviors, inhibiting sales, increasing costs, causing further economic and supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, and reducing economic activity. For example, if the costs of our products increase, we and our collaborators may be forced to increase the prices at which such products are sold, which could in turn reduce demand for and sales of those products, thereby negatively impacting our operating results. Alternatively, the heightened production costs would also have a negative impact on operating results even absent a decline in sales.
The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on our business and general economic conditions are uncertain and depend on various factors, including negotiations between the United States and affected countries, the outcome of the United States tariff litigation, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. To the extent we need to locate new sources of raw materials and products as a result of tariffs, we may be unable to locate alternative sources on favorable terms or in the timeframes needed, and actions we may take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions may force us to modify our operations or forgo business opportunities. Likewise, tariffs and import and export regulations could also limit the availability of our products, prompt consumers to seek alternative products, and provide an opportunity for competitors not subject to such tariffs to more effectively compete with us in markets where we conduct our business.
Our business, operations, financial position and timelines, could be materially adversely affected by government action and geopolitical conflicts.
As a result of the government action and geopolitical conflicts and related economic impacts or sanctions imposed or that may in the future be imposed by certain governments, our financial position and operations may be materially and adversely affected. Following President Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, certain trends and events have begun to unfold which appear to be affecting the global and United States capital markets and economies, including rising unemployment, the imposition of tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding tariff litigation,
7
trade wars among nations and ongoing geopolitical conflicts, and volatility in the capital markets. The duration of these events and their impact are at best uncertain, and their continuation may result in negative consequences on the U.S. or global economies. The impact of United States tariff policies and could lead to renewed inflation as very recently inflation has begun to slowly increase. If inflation rises significantly as the result of the Federal Reserve decreases in interest rates in the near term, or tariffs imposed or threatened by President Trump are counteracted by retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries or otherwise adversely impact the economy, the result could be tipping the U.S. economy into a recession. Ultimately the economy may turn into a recession with uncertain and potentially severe impacts upon the public capital markets and us. Among the potential consequences could be a substantial decline in stock prices including ours, a reduction in demand for securities of public companies (which may be more prevalent for smaller companies such as us) and more difficulty for us to raise capital we need and accessing capital on favorable terms or at all as a result. We cannot predict how this will affect our business, but the impact may be material and adverse.
As our ability to continue to operate will be dependent on raising debt and equity financing, any adverse impact to markets as a result of these developments, including due to increased market volatility, decreased availability in third-party financing and/or a deterioration in the terms on which it is available (if at all), could negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and/or prospects. Further, our sale of water sourced from an aquifer in Costa Rica is in the early stages, with our purchase order derived from a company located in the United Arab Emirates. To the extent our water sales develop a focus in the Middle East or other areas impacted or threatened by geopolitical turmoil, it could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to develop and execute our business plan, generate material revenue and otherwise operate efficiently and in a cost-effective manner. The extent of any potential impact is not yet determinable, however.
We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.
Our business is dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our target markets. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and retailers of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the revitalization and growth of our brand and product offerings, or in maintaining and expanding upon the brands we offer, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Any failure of our brands to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results.
Our brands and brand images are keys to our business and any inability to maintain a positive brand image could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our success depends on our ability to develop brand images for our existing products and effectively build up brand images for new products and brand extensions. We cannot predict whether our advertising, marketing and promotional programs will have the desired impact on our products’ branding and on consumer preferences. In addition, negative public relations and product quality issues, whether real or imagined, could tarnish our reputation and images of the affected brands and could cause consumers to choose other products. Our brand images can also be adversely affected by unfavorable reports, studies and articles, litigation, or regulatory or other governmental action, whether involving our products or those of our competitors.
Competition from traditional and large, well-financed non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.
The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by distributors, all of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products will compete with a broad range non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, many of which are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial and marketing resources than ours. Management believes that some of these competitors are placing severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry competitive brands offered by smaller enterprises such as ours. We will also compete with regional beverage producers and “private label” brands.
8
Increased competitor consolidations, market-place competition, particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If, due to such pressure or other competitive threats, we are unable to sufficiently maintain or develop our distribution channels, we may be unable to achieve our current revenue and financial targets. Competition, particularly from companies with greater financial and marketing resources than ours, could have a material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as on our ability to expand the market for our products.
Our reliance on distributors, retailers and brokers could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.
Our ability to maintain and expand our existing markets for our products, and to establish markets in new geographic distribution areas, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with reliable distributors, retailers and brokers strategically positioned to serve those areas. All of the distributors, retailers and brokers we have used in the past sell and distribute competing products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may represent a small portion of their businesses. The success of this network will depend on the performance of the distributors, retailers and brokers of this network. There is a risk that the mentioned entities may not adequately perform their functions within the network by, without limitation, failing to distribute to sufficient retailers or positioning our products in localities that may not be receptive to our product. Further, these third parties could reduce or terminate their relationship with us for any reason without liability to us. Our ability to incentivize and motivate distributors to manage and sell our products is affected by competition from other beverage companies, some of which may have greater resources than we do. To the extent that our distributors, retailers and brokers are distracted from selling our products or do not employ sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, including re-stocking the retail shelves with our products, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, such third-parties’ financial position or market share may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our distribution, marketing and sales activities.
Our ability to establish and expand our distribution network and attract additional distributors, retailers and brokers will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include:
| ● | the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular distribution area; |
| ● | our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those of competing products; and |
| ● | our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors, retailers and brokers. |
We may not be able to successfully manage all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Our inability to achieve success with regards to any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain or expand our market, which will likely adversely affect our revenues and financial results.
These third-party service providers and business partners are also subject to similar risks as we are relating to cybersecurity, privacy violations, business interruption, and systems and employee failures, and are subject to legal, regulatory and market risks of their own. Our third-party service providers and business partners may not fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. In addition, while we have procedures in place for selecting and managing our relationships with third-party service providers and other business partners, we do not have control over their business operations or governance and compliance systems, practices and procedures, which increases our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk. If we are unable to effectively manage our third-party relationships, or for any reason our third-party service providers or business partners fail to satisfactorily fulfill their commitments and responsibilities, our financial results could suffer.
9
It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.
Once we re-commence sales, we plan to use independent distributors who will not be required to place minimum monthly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, independent distributors typically order products from us on a “just in time” basis in quantities and at such times based on the demand for the products in a particular distribution area. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or whether any of our distributors will purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Additionally, our larger distributors and national partners may make orders that are larger than we have historically been required to fill. Shortages in inventory levels, supply of raw materials or other key supplies could negatively affect us including by such distributors and national partners locating competitive brands to meet their demand.
If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.
Once we re-commence sales, we will need to maintain adequate inventory levels to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply will depend available cash and on our ability to correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. Additionally, our maintenance of inventory as needed to meet demand is contingent upon our access to sufficient capital, and due to our limited liquidity we have in the past and expect to continue in the future to be unable to obtain sufficient inventory unless and until we can gain access to the necessary capital. These challenges and the related risks will be heightened by recent developments such as the imposition of tariffs and any impacts thereof on us, the prices of supplies we utilize and the products we sell, delays and supply chain disruptions, similar factors relating to our vendors, and consumers and their demand for products at varying price points and quantities. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.
If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.
We do not manufacture tequila but have instead outsourced the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). We have not begun bottling water, and when we do begin bottling water it will be through third parties. We do not own the plants or the majority of the equipment required to manufacture and package these brands. Our ability to maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers and other third parties for the production and delivery of our beverage products in a particular geographic distribution area is important to the success of our operations within each distribution area. Our agreements with third parties enable such parties to terminate our relationship within a relatively short period of time. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with contract manufacturers or establish satisfactory relationships with new or replacement contract manufacturers, whether in existing or new geographic distribution areas. The failure to establish and maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers for a distribution area could increase our manufacturing costs and thereby materially reduce gross profits from the sale of our products in that area. Poor relations with any of our contract manufacturers could adversely affect the amount and timing of product delivered to our distributors for resale, which would in turn adversely affect our revenues and financial condition. In addition, our agreements with our contract manufacturers are terminable at any time, and any such termination could disrupt our ability to deliver products to our customers.
Further, if third parties on which we depend to manufacture products increases their prices, we may not be able to secure alternative suppliers, and may not be able to raise the prices of our products to cover all or even a portion of the increased costs. Also, any failure by these third parties to perform satisfactorily or handle increased orders, or delays in shipping, could cause us to fail to meet orders for our products, lose sales, incur additional costs and/or expose us to product quality issues. We are also dependent upon such third parties continued liquidity and factors which affect such third parties ability to operate including:
10
| ● | adverse weather event and other acts of God; |
| ● | labor uncertainties including the availability of employees; |
| ● | environmental compliance; |
| ● | foreign exchange exposure; |
| ● | quality control; |
| ● | political instability; |
| ● | contract enforcement; |
| ● | intellectual property protection; and |
| ● | transportation disruptions. |
In turn, this could cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with distributors, ultimately leading to a decline in our business and results of operations. If we are not able to renegotiate these contracts on acceptable terms or find suitable alternatives, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively impacted.
If we experience disruption within our supply chain, manufacturing or distribution channels, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Once we re-commence sales, our ability, through our suppliers, business partners, manufacturers, independent distributors and retailers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our suppliers or to manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics, labor strikes, geopolitical events or other reasons, could impair the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. Many of these events are outside of our control. Failure to take adequate steps to protect against or mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The volatility of energy prices may have an adverse impact on our gross margin.
Over the past few years, volatility in the global oil markets has resulted in variable fuel prices, which many shipping companies have passed on to their customers by way of higher base pricing and increased fuel surcharges. While energy costs in the U.S. are generally lower in 2025, they may increase again particularly if the Democrats regain the Presidency. If fuel prices increase, we expect to experience higher shipping rates and fuel surcharges, as well as energy surcharges on our raw materials. It is difficult to predict what will happen in the fuel markets in the future. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we may not always be able to pass such increases on to our customers.
We expect to rely upon our ongoing relationships with our key flavor suppliers. If we are unable to source our flavors on acceptable terms from our key suppliers, we could suffer disruptions in our business.
In the past, we have purchased our flavor concentrate from various flavor concentrate suppliers, and seek to continually develop other sources of flavor concentrate for certain of our products. Generally, flavor suppliers hold the proprietary rights to their flavor-specific ingredients. Although we have the exclusive rights to flavor concentrates developed with our current flavor concentrate suppliers, and while we have the rights to the ingredients for our products, we do not have the list of ingredients for our flavor extracts and concentrates, and in the event of a termination or failure to perform by these suppliers, we may be unable to obtain these exact flavors or concentrates from alternative suppliers on short notice. If we have to replace a flavor supplier, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
11
We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico to provide us with our finished tequila product. Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could cause us to lose future sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.
The Company estimates that it requires a minimum of approximately $2 million of additional capital to begin pursuing its Chispo business strategy. If we can raise sufficient capital to pursue this business strategy, we will depend on a distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for the tequila certification, production, bottling, labeling, capping and packaging of our finished tequila product. We do not have a written agreement with our distiller in Mexico obligating it to produce our product. The termination of our relationship with our distiller in Mexico or an adverse change in the terms of its services could have a negative impact on our business. If our distiller in increases its prices, we may not have alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and may not be able to raise the prices of our products to cover all, or even a portion, of the increased costs. In addition, if our distiller in Mexico fails to perform satisfactorily, fails to handle increased orders, or we lose the services of our distiller in Mexico, along with delays in shipments of products, it could cause us to fail to meet orders, lose sales, incur additional costs, and/or expose us to product quality issues. In turn, this could cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with our customers and consumers, ultimately leading to a decline in our business and results of operations.
If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in such areas as finance, sales, marketing and product development. We compete to hire new employees, and, in some cases, must train them and develop their skills and competencies. We may not be able to provide our employees with competitive salaries, and our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs. We are dependent on our core management team whose knowledge, experience and connections in the industry are critical to our operations and business plan. The loss of these individuals or any other key personnel would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to operate and compete effectively.
Further, Robert Nistico, our former Chief Executive Officer, resigned as Chief Executive Officer (but not as a director) effective November 14, 2025 and William Devereux, our former Chief Financial Officer, resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective November 30, 2025. We may be unable to find suitable replacements for Mr. Nistico within a reasonable timeframe or under favorable terms, including due to the uncertainties relating to our lack of capital as well as the fierce competition for qualified candidates for executive positions both within our industry and for public companies generally.
Changes to operations, policies and procedures, which can often occur with the appointment of new personnel, can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods are often difficult as the new employees gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution.
Further, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, our operations, financial condition and employee morale could be negatively impacted. In addition, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer.
If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade secrets, we may be unable to successfully market our products and compete effectively.
We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrets, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights and interests in our operations, products and processes. Failure to protect or maintain our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property and related rights and interests could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success, and we actively pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and internationally. However, the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights may not be adequate and may not prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our trademarks, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights, particularly outside of the United States where intellectual property rights may not be fully enforceable. In addition, other parties may seek to assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably exploit our products or recoup our associated costs.
12
As part of the licensing strategy of our brands, we enter into licensing agreements under which we grant our licensing partners certain rights to use our trademarks and other designs. Although our agreements require that the use of our trademarks and designs is subject to our control and approval, any breach of these provisions, or any other action by any of our licensing partners that is harmful to our brands, goodwill and overall image, could have a material adverse impact on our business.
With the $20 million of stated value included in our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, we expect to include substantial indefinite-lived intangible assets on our balance sheet at September 30, 2025, which could result in our incurring material future impairment expenses in the future.
On June 25, 2025, we acquired our Water Assets by issuing the seller shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series C contains a stated value of $20 million. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, we will be required to account for this issuance as of June 30, 2025 by including $20 million of non-current assets on our balance sheet. Annually we will be required to review this asset and make a judgment as to whether it is impaired. If we are required to impair part or all of the Water Assets in the future, it will be recorded as a non-cash charge to our results of operations. A large impairment charge could cause investors to sell our stock resulting in a decrease in our future prevailing market price.
If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.
Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect brand image.
Because our business is subject to many regulations, noncompliance is costly.
The production, marketing and sale of our beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, foreign, state and local health and other agencies. The regulations to which we are subject impose requirements on production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labelling of products. We are required to comply with these regulations and to maintain various permits and licenses. We will be required to conduct business only with holders of licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute and sell our products. We cannot assure you that these and other governmental regulations applicable to our industry will not change or become more stringent. Moreover, because these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when and to what extent liability may arise. Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems, including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products. Failure to comply with any of the current or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation of our licenses and permits. Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we could find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our sales and increase our losses.
Also, the distribution of beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation (at both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise duties in most countries around the world. An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our revenues and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories of beverage alcohol.
If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production batch or “run” is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, forced to recall products, or production may be stopped, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time-to-time, we cannot anticipate whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
13
Government regulations, any changes thereto and/or any failure by us to comply with these regulations, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those governing the production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution of beverage products. In addition, various governmental agencies have enacted or are considering additional taxes on certain non-alcoholic beverages as well as alcoholic beverages. Further, we are subject to licensing and permitting requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Changes in existing laws or regulations or any failure by us to fully comply with these varying and evolving requirements could require us to incur material expenses and negatively affect our financial results, including through lower sales, higher costs negative publicity and other adverse consequences.
Moreover, because these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when, and to what extent, liability may arise. Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems, including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products. Failure to comply with any of the current or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products, could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation of our licenses and permits. Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we may find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our sales and profit potential.
In addition, the distribution of beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation both in the United States and internationally (and, in the United States, at both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise duties in most countries around the world. An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our revenue and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories of beverage alcohol.
We will be exposed to product liability or other related liabilities which could have significant negative financial repercussions on our solvency.
Although we maintain general liability insurance and take certain other measures in an effort to reduce the risk of liabilities, these measures may not be sufficient for us to successfully avoid or limit product liability or other related liabilities. The Company has not generated any revenue since March 2025, and it does not currently carry product liability insurance. The Company intends to acquire product liability insurance prior to shipping any products, but may not have the capital to do so. The Company carries property insurance for its locations in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Sarasota, FL. Further, any contractual indemnification and insurance coverage we have in the future from parties supplying our products is limited, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and the insured limits of any insurance provided by these suppliers. Extensive product liability claims could be costly to defend and/or costly to resolve and could harm our reputation or business, and we may face uninsured or underinsured claims and liabilities due to the factors described above.
We could face issues including the risk of contamination of our products and/or counterfeit or confusingly similar products.
The success of our brands depends upon the positive image that consumers have of them. Contamination, whether arising accidentally or through deliberate third-party action, or other events that harm the integrity or consumer support for our brands, could affect the demand for our products. Contaminants in raw materials purchased from third parties and used in the production of our products or defects in the production processes, including third party manufacturers on which we rely and over which we lack control, could lead to low beverage quality, as well as illness among, or injury to, consumers of our products and could result in reduced sales of the affected brand or all of our brands and potentially serious damage to our reputation for product quality, as well as product liability claims. Also, to the extent that third parties sell products that are either counterfeit versions of our brands or brands that look like our brands, consumers of our brands could confuse our products with products that they consider inferior. This could cause them to refrain from purchasing our brands in the future and in turn could impair our brand equity and adversely affect our sales and operations. For example,
14
a key marketing feature of our Water Assets is the purity and health features of the water we have access to through extraction rights. Further, subject to receipt of the necessary funding, we intend to withdraw, bottle and distribute the water through the use of third party vendors over which we will have limited or no control outside of contractual rights. To the extent, due to our own actions or the actions of others, the water we sell becomes contaminated, it could materially adversely affect that line of business and brand, and our ability to generate material revenue and reputation could be materially adversely affected.
Contamination of any of our products could force us to destroy tequila or water held in inventory and could cause the need for a product recall, which could significantly damage our reputation for product quality.
Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may inhibit sales of affected products.
Various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements relating to the chemical content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain products. These types of requirements, if they become applicable to one or more of our products under current or future environmental or health laws or regulations, may inhibit sales of such products. For example, in California, a law requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a component listed by the state as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. This law recognizes no generally applicable quantitative thresholds below which a warning is not required. If a component found in one of our products is added to the list, or if the increasing sensitivity of detection methodology that may become available under this law and related regulations as they currently exist, or as they may be amended, results in the detection of an infinitesimal quantity of a listed substance in one of our beverages produced for sale in California, the resulting warning requirements or adverse publicity could affect our sales.
If we are subject to litigation, we may incur significant liabilities and litigation expenses.
We have been subject to and may in the future become party to litigation. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation that could result in civil, administrative or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.
Additionally, there has been public attention directed at the alcoholic beverage industry, which we believe is due to concern over problems related to harmful use of alcohol, including drinking and driving, underage drinking and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol. We could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product liability or marketing or sales practices with respect to our alcoholic products. Adverse developments in lawsuits concerning these types of matters or a significant decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products that may result from lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our industry faces the possibility of litigation including class actions alleging that the continued excessive use or abuse of beverage alcohol has caused death or serious health problems or that we failed to adequately warn consumers of the risks of alcohol consumption. It is also possible that governments could assert that the use of alcohol has significantly increased government-funded healthcare costs. Litigation or assertions of this type have adversely affected companies in the tobacco industry, and it is possible that we, as well as our suppliers, could be named in litigation of this type.
15
For example, lawsuits have been brought in a number of states alleging that alcoholic beverage manufacturers and marketers have improperly targeted underage consumers in their advertising. Plaintiffs in these cases allege that the defendants’ advertisements, marketing and promotions violate the consumer protection or deceptive trade practices statutes in each of these states and seek repayment of the family funds expended by the underage consumers. While we have not been named in these lawsuits, we could be named in similar lawsuits in the future. Any class action or other litigation asserted against us could be expensive and time-consuming to defend against, depleting our cash and diverting our personnel resources and, if the plaintiffs in such actions were to prevail, our business could be harmed significantly.
We are subject to risks inherent in sales of products in international markets.
Our contemplated operations are outside of the United States; however, there can be no assurance that these products that we sell will be accepted or be successful in any particular foreign market, due to local or global competition, product price, cultural differences, and consumer preferences or otherwise. There are many factors that could adversely affect demand for our products in foreign markets, including our inability to attract and maintain key distributors in these markets; volatility in the economic growth of certain of these markets; changes in economic, political or social conditions, tariffs including retaliatory tariffs, the status and renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement, imposition of new or increased labeling, product or production requirements, or other legal restrictions; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; currency fluctuations, and increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign laws and regulations. If we are unable to effectively operate or manage the risks associated with operating in international markets, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Water scarcity and poor quality could negatively impact our costs and capacity.
Water is a main ingredient in our products, is vital to the production of the agricultural ingredients on which our business relies and is needed in our manufacturing process. It also is critical to the prosperity of the communities we serve. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water, increasing pollution and emerging awareness of potential contaminants, poor management, lack of physical or financial access to water, sociopolitical tensions due to lack of public infrastructure in certain areas of the world and the effects of climate change. As the demand for water continues to increase around the world, and as water becomes scarcer and the quality of available water deteriorates, we may incur higher costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely affect our profitability or net operating revenues in the long run. While our acquisition of the Water Assets is expected to help us have access to a consistent source of high quality water, we may be unable to extract the water in quantities that meet our operational and production needs or which allows us to generate material revenue, and we may be forced to seek other sources of water that are more costly or lower quality, any of which could materially harm our business and reputation. If the quality, quantity, or access to our Water Asset is diminished, the Company will be unable to monetize the Water Asset according to its business plans, with may result in an impairment of the Water Asset’s value.
Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.
The proper functioning of our own information technology (“IT”) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.
16
If we fail to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws, we could be subject to adverse publicity, government enforcement actions and/or private litigation, which could negatively affect our business and operating results.
In the ordinary course of our business when we generate sales, we receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals (“personal data”), primarily employees, former employees and consumers with whom we interact. For example, when we operated Qplash we collected and processed personal data concerning consumers who access and purchase products on the platform. As a result, we are subject to various U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations relating to personal data. These laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted in other jurisdictions at any time. These laws impose operational requirements for companies receiving or processing personal data, and many provide for significant penalties and fines for noncompliance. These requirements with respect to personal data have subjected and may continue in the future to subject the Company to, among other things, additional costs and expenses and have required and may in the future require costly changes to our business practices and information security systems, policies, procedures and practices. Our security controls over personal data, the training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data security, and the policies, procedures and practices we implemented or may implement in the future may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal data by us or the third-party service providers and vendors whose technology, systems and services we use in connection with the receipt, storage and transmission of personal data. Unauthorized access or improper disclosure of personal data in violation of personal data protection or privacy laws could harm our reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence, subject us to regulatory enforcement actions (including fines), and result in private litigation against us, which could result in loss of revenue, increased costs, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, all of which could negatively affect our business and operating results.
Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.
In the past, our sales were seasonal, and we may experience seasonality if we resume generating revenue. Companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater percentage of their revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. The timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year.
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may cause us to fail to timely and accurately report our financial results or result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements.
A material weakness exists over our financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls related to a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and insufficient accounting employees, resulting in a lack of controls to ensure maintenance of documentation supporting transactions recorded in the Company’s accounting records. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting. While management has taken actions in an effort to remediate the material weakness, the material weakness over our financial reporting or the discovery of additional material weaknesses and their possible effect on our financial and operating results, could have material and adverse effect on our stock price and investor confidence.
Risks Related to our Securities and Other Risks
Although we are now in compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American, our failure to maintain continued compliance could result in the delisting of our Common Stock and adversely affect its future stock price.
As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025, on July 28, 2025, the Company received two letters from the NYSE Regulation confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American.
17
We are required to meet certain qualitative and financial tests to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE American. In order to maintain this listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of stockholders’ equity and a minimum number of public stockholders. Included in these requirements is that we must maintain stockholders’ equity of $6 million or more because we have reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years.
The Company had previously received notifications from the staff at NYSE American on October 6, 2023, December 20, 2023, and June 5, 2024, that it was not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide.
The Company also received notifications from the NYSE American stating that it was not in compliance with Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide due to its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, which was due to be filed with the SEC no later than May 20, 2025 and its failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 by the filing due date of April 15, 2025.
The first letter stated that the Company is back in compliance with all of the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide. Specifically, the Company resolved the previously identified deficiencies under Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide referenced in the exchange’s letters dated October 6, 2023, December 20, 2023, and June 5, 2024. As a result, the “BC” indicator was removed and the Company was taken off the exchange’s list of noncompliant issuers as of the opening of trading on July 29, 2025. The Company will remain subject to NYSE Regulation’s normal continued listing monitoring going forward.
The second letter confirmed that the Company filed its previously delayed Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, on July 11, 2025. As a result, the Company has regained compliance with Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide. The “LF” indicator on the Company’s NYSE pages was removed, and the Company was removed from the list of late filers maintained on the NYSE’s Listed Standards Filing Status page.
In addition, the shares of Common Stock issuable under outstanding convertible securities and the ELOC Agreement could result in downward price pressure on our Common Stock, which could cause our stock price to decrease below the $1.00 bid price minimum under NYSE listing standards. We would need to effect a reverse stock split prior to such an event to avoid a deficiency and automatic delisting procedures.
If in the future we cease to comply with the listing standards of the NYSE, our Common Stock may be delisted which would adversely affect its future stock price and liquidity.
Future sales of Common Stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our Common Stock in the market or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
The Company intends to register the resale of initially up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an equity line of credit entered into on September 19, 2025. In addition, pursuant to Registration Rights Agreements entered into in connection with our sale of Series A-1 and accompanying Warrants, Series B, as well as subsequent convertible promissory notes, we are obligated to register the resale of an additional up to 7,754,736 shares of Common Stock issuable to holders of those securities. See also the Risk Factor titled “We have issued multiple classes of preferred stock and other securities of the Company that will result in dilution to existing stockholders upon their conversion and exercise.”
In general, from time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict if and when selling stockholders may sell such shares in the public market.
18
We have issued multiple classes of preferred stock and other securities of the Company that will result in dilution to existing stockholders upon their conversion and exercise.
The issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of our outstanding convertible preferred stock will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. These series of preferred stock are convertible into a total of up to 22,232,891 shares of Common Stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations and certain adjustments. Further, the Series A-1 and Series B each allow the holders to convert at a reduced conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the five trading day volume weighted average price calculated as of the date an applicable conversion notice, subject to a floor price of $1.25. The Series A-1 and Series B each entitle the holders thereof to quarterly dividends which may be paid in Common Stock in lieu of cash. Although conversions are subject to stockholder approval and thereafter holders may not receive shares of Common Stock exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent holders from receiving shares up to the 4.99% limit, selling those shares, and then receiving the rest of the shares it is due, in one or more tranches, while still staying below the 4.99% limit. In addition, outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the sales of Series A-1 since June 2025 entitle the holders thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock upon exercises thereof. If holders choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, the continued sale of shares issuable upon successive conversions will likely create significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock as holders sell material amounts of our Common Stock over time and/or in a short period of time. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock and in turn result in holders receiving an ever-increasing number of additional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of its securities, and adjustments thereof, which in turn will likely lead to further dilution, reductions in the exercise/conversion price of holders securities and even more downward pressure on our Common Stock, which could lead to our Common Stock becoming devalued or worthless.
Further, these series of preferred stock contain dividend rights and liquidation preferences in favor of the holders thereof that may operate to limit or reduce the rights of holders of our Common Stock, including with respect to dividends or liquidation events that may occur in the future. For example, the dividend rights of the preferred stock would reduce the Company’s ability to declare dividends while the preferred stock is outstanding. Further, the senior ranking in liquidation preference for the preferred stockholders would operate to reduce or eliminate any amounts which may otherwise have been available to Common Stockholders upon a dissolution or winding up of the Company. These terms could have a material adverse effect on the holders of our Common Stock.
The market price of our Common Stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile.
The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock has been volatile in recent periods, and it may continue to be volatile. For example, thus far in 2025, our Common Stock has traded as low as $0.744 and as high as $13.60 per share. We cannot predict the price at which our Common Stock will trade in the future, and the price of our Common Stock may decline. The price at which our Common Stock trades may fluctuate significantly and may be influenced by many factors, including our financial results, developments generally affecting the beverage industry, general economic, industry and market conditions, the depth and liquidity of the market for our Common Stock, fluctuations in prices and costs, investor perceptions of our business, reports by industry analysts, negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performances, and the impact of other Risk Factors discussed herein.
Our Common Stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional Common Stock, convertible securities, warrants or options.
We expect to need to issue additional shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock equivalents in the near term in order to meet our capital requirements. Our issuance of additional Common Stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our Common Stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional Common Stock to certain of our stockholders.
19
We incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
We incur increased costs associated with corporate governance requirements that are become applicable to us as a public company, including rules and regulations of the SEC, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Customer Protection Act of 2010, and the Exchange Act, as well as the rules of the NYSE American. These rules and regulations significantly increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming, including due to increased training of our current employees, additional hiring of new employees, and increased assistance from consultants. These rules and regulations also make it more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers. Furthermore, these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management team must devote substantial attention to interacting with the investment community and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies, which may divert attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, including operational, research and development and sales and marketing activities. Increases in costs incurred or diversion of management’s attention as a result of becoming a publicly traded company may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with par value $0.001 per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time-to-time by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. Any such issuance would be subject to terms and conditions of any current offering that may disallow any such issuance.
Set forth below is an overview of the private placement transactions in which the Selling Stockholder participated and pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders received the Convertible Securities to which the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a parr relates and certain rights incident thereto.
Series A-1 and Warrants
Effective June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold and issued a total of 650 shares of Series A-1, together with one-year Class A Warrants to purchase a total of 162,500 shares of Common Stock (the “A Warrants”) and five-year Class B Warrants to purchase a total of 162,500 shares of Common Stock (the “B Warrants”) for total gross proceeds of $650,000.
Each share of Series A-1 has a stated value of $1,000. Beginning on the date on which (i) the Company’s shareholders approve and the Company amends its Articles of Incorporation to increase in authorized Common Stock of the Company as and to the extent necessary to permit full issuance of the shares underlying the securities together with other Common Stock equivalents, and (ii) the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of the securities as may be required by the rules of the NYSE American (such date, “Stockholder Approval Date”) and for a period ending two years thereafter, each share of Series A-1 are convertible into Common Stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series A-1 divided by the Series A-1 conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $4.00 per share and (ii) 80% of the of the average of the five trading day volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock as of the applicable conversion date, subject to a floor price of $1.25. Conversions of Series A-1 are subject to beneficial ownership limitations.
20
Holders of Series A-1 shall be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis.
The holders of the Series A-1 are entitled to receive annual dividends equal to 12% of the stated value per share payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the election of the Company. On November 19, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend issuing the holders of the Series A-1 23,050 shares of Common Stock for the three months ended September 30, 2025, payable on November 19, 2025 or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.
Two years after the issuance of the Series A-1, the Company shall have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Series A-1 then outstanding, at a price per share equal to the stated value plus any unpaid dividends, subject to the holders’ right to convert prior to such a redemption.
The A Warrants are exercisable beginning on the Stockholder Approval Date and have a term of one year from issuance. The A Warrants have an exercise price of 80% of the average of the five trading day volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock as of the applicable exercise date.
The B Warrants are exercisable beginning on the Stockholder Approval Date and have a term of five years from issuance. The B Warrants have an exercise price of $4.00.
Exercises of both the A Warrants and the B Warrants are subject to beneficial ownership limitations.
Series B
Effective June 25, 2025, the Company entered into Securities Exchange Letter Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of promissory notes issued by the Company pursuant to which such holders agreed to exchange a total of $12,670,434 of outstanding balance of such notes in exchange for a total of 126,704 shares of Series B. The Company is engaging in the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement in order to exchange debt for equity in an effort to regain compliance with the shareholder equity requirements of the NYSE American. This debt exchange was a key step in meeting the NYSE American continued listing requirements.
Each share of Series B has a stated value of $100. Beginning on the Stockholder Approval Date and for a period ending two years thereafter, each share of Series B will be convertible into Common Stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series B share divided by the Series B conversion price of $6.00 per share, subject to beneficial ownership limitations.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Series B shall not have any voting rights and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters brought before the shareholders of the Company.
The holders of the Series B are entitled to receive annual dividends equal to 12% of the stated value per share payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the election of the Company. On November 19, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend issuing the holders of the Series B 322,302 shares of Common Stock for the three months ended September 30, 2025, payable on November 19, 2025 or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.
Two years after the issuance of the Series B, the Company shall have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Series B then outstanding, at a price per share equal to the stated value plus any unpaid dividends, subject to the holders’ right to convert prior to such a redemption.
In connection with the transactions described above, the Company entered into a side letter agreement (the “Side Letter”) with three note holders who are also Selling Stockholders who in connection with the conversion of part of their notes were also owed approximately $925,000 in liquidated damages arising from the failure to deliver Common Stock. These note holders held notes with variable or lower conversion prices which were more favorable than the notes held by the other note holders, and exchanged their notes for shares of Series B having a total combined stated value of $2,782,351. Pursuant to the Side Letter, in consideration of the waiver and surrender of such additional rights with respect to such holders’ notes,
21
the Company agreed to provide such holders with the certain additional rights with respect to their Series B, including a lower fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share, the right to an increased stated value to 120% of the original stated value upon the occurrence of certain enumerated events, registration rights, exchange rights and price protection adjustment provisions with respect to subsequent issuances of securities (subject to certain limitations and exceptions), a 200% reserve requirement, with respect to quarterly dividend payments, a formula tied to 20% discount to five trading day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for purposes of dividend payments in the form of Common Stock, and a 125% redemption premium (which the Company may redeem as to such holders’ at any time), in each case as more particularly set forth in the Side Letter.
Convertible Notes
On September 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two of the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Company received $2,000,000 on September 22, 2025 and that day issued to such Selling Stockholders the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000.
Each Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $1.75 per share and (ii) $0.01 above the closing sale price on the date of conversion. The Notes do not bear any interest absent an event of default, and mature on September 22, 2026. The Notes contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which results in the entire outstanding amount of principal and other amounts payable becoming immediately due and payable, and interest accruing at a rate of 7% per annum.
The Company may prepay the Notes at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
While any portion of the Notes is outstanding, and after the Company has effected an aggregate of $3,000,000 of purchases from the Investor under the ELOC Agreement which the Company entered into on September 19, 2025 with one of the Selling Stockholders, if the Company receives further gross proceeds under the ELOC Agreement, the Company shall apply 30% of the proceeds to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the Notes, until the Notes are paid in full.
As collateral for the obligations under the Notes, the Company granted to the Investors a security interest in all of the Company’s assets, subject to certain exceptions, pursuant to and as set forth in a Security Agreement entered into between the Company and each Investor.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, on September 19, 2025, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a Registration Statement for the Common Stock underlying the Notes within 30 days of the closing date.
On November 18, 2025, the Notes were amended and restated solely to add floor price equal to $0.4024 with respect to any conversions of the Notes.
Side Letter Agreement
In connection with each of the transactions described above, each of the Selling Stockholder became entitled to certain registration rights with respect to their Convertible Securities. On September 26, 2025, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agreed to an extension to the registration rights such that the Company’s deadline for filing the resale registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part was extended to November 20, 2025. Pursuant to a side letter agreement dated June 25, 2025, if the Company failed to meet such deadline or comply with certain other covenants set forth therein, the stated value Selling Stockholders’ Series B would increase to 120% of the original stated value.
The June 25 side letter also provides that, in the event that the Company fails to timely file a required periodic report with the SEC beginning six months following such date, fails to make dividend payments contemplated by the Series B, incurs indebtedness for borrowed money outside of the ordinary course of business in excess of $3,000,000, or fails to deliver conversion shares within the timeframe contemplated by the Series B Certificate of Designations in connection with a conversion by a holder signatory thereto, the stated value of the Series B held by such holders shall increase to 120% of the original stated value thereof
22
Stockholder Approval
On October 31, 2025 such shareholders’ meeting was held and the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the securities described above was approved by the Company’s shareholders, and such securities became convertible and exercisable in accordance with their terms and the rules of the NYSE American.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock being offered for sale by the Selling Stockholders. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, assuming all such exercises are cash exercises, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants, which will equal 80% of the average of the five trading day VWAP calculated as of the date the applicable Notice of Exercise is transmitted to the Company for the A Warrants, and will equal $4.00 per share for the B Warrants, subject to certain adjustments. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock. Brokerage fees, commissions and similar expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares offered hereby will be borne by the Selling Stockholder.
There is no assurance the Warrants will be exercised for cash. We intend to use such proceeds, if any, for general corporate and working capital purposes.
We are registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and exercise of the Convertible Securities to permit the resale of the shares of Common Stock by the holders of the Convertible Securities from time-to-time after the date of this Prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Common Stock except we will receive the exercise price of any Warrants not exercised by the Selling Stockholders on a cashless exercise basis. We are bearing all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the sale of the shares.
The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| ● | on the NYSE American or any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
| ● | in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |

| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | short sales made after the date of this Prospectus; |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may transfer the shares by other means not described in this Prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares short and deliver shares covered by this Prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Preferred Stock, Warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Shares from time-to-time pursuant to this Prospectus or any amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares is made, a Prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.
24
We are paying expenses of the registration of the shares pursuant to a contractual agreement what the Selling Stockholders, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreements or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this Prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
We plan to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.
We are obligated to pay dividends on our Series A-1 and Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. See “Description of Our Securities.”
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Since 2020, we have been engaged in the beverage businesses.
On November 8, 2021, we became a Nevada corporation.
We seek to identify, acquire, and build early stage or under-valued beverage brands that have strong growth potential within its distribution system. Our distribution system is comprehensive in the U.S. and we are also seeking to expand to select attractive international markets. Through its division Qplash, Splash’s distribution reach includes e-commerce access to both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) customers. Qplash markets well known beverage brands to customers throughout the US that prefer delivery direct to their office, facilities and or homes.
Recent Developments
In 2024 and more recently, the Company, the following key events and developments occurred:
| ● | In May – July 2025, the Company issued 800 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in exchange for approximately $800,000. Series A-1 shares are convertible into Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval. Investors of A-1 Shares also received 200,000 1-year A Warrants exercisable into Common Stock at 80% of 5-day VWAP, and 200,000 5-year B Warrants exercisable into Common Stock at $4.00. |
| ● | In June 2025, the Company issued 126,710 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for approximately $12.7 million in previously outstanding convertible notes. The Series B shares are convertible into Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval. |
| ● | In June 2025, the Company acquired certain assets, including all contractual water rights to the aquifer located in Garabito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The Company issued 20,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as consideration, at an initial stated value of $1000 per share. Management determined that the transaction is an asset acquisition under ASC 805, as substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset—the water rights—and no substantive processes were acquired. The Series C shares are convertible into Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval. We refer to these assets throughout this Prospectus as the “Water Assets.” |
25
| ● | On July 28, 2025, the Company received two letters from NYSE Regulation confirming that the Company has regained compliance with applicable continued listing standards of the NYSE American relating to minimum stockholders’ equity and filing of required reports with the SEC. |
| ● | On September 22, 2025, the Company sold and issued two original issue discount secured convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 in exchange for gross proceeds of $2,000,000. |
| ● | In addition, on September 19, 2025 the Company entered into the ELOC Agreement with C/M. | |
| ● | On November 24, 2025, SBII, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a JV Agreement with BAAD, in connection with a newly formed JV Entity, BAAD Beverages, LLC pursuant to which the parties established a joint venture for the sale of adult, THC and CBD beverage products. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, SBII received a 51% financial interest in the JV Entity in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $25,500, with BAAD receiving the remaining 49% in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $24,500. | |
| ● | In December 2025, the Company entered into agreements to issue a total of 113,636 shares of Common Stock and 1,136 shares of Series D to holders of options to purchase a total of up to $600,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the termination of such options |
| ● | The Company has not generated revenue since March 2025 due to its limited capital. The Company intends to use the proceeds received from the ELOC Agreement and other possible financings to meet its working capital needs. However, the Company needs to raise additional capital to continue operations and develop and implement its business plan, including with respect to the Water Assets referred to above. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4, and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below at page 34, for more information. |
Subject to receiving sufficient capital, the Company intends to focus its efforts on distribution of the Chispo brand tequila, establishing and growing material operations through the sale of water extracted from the Water Assets, and re-launching its Qplash platform primarily to provide an online supplement to sales of these products. Subject to receipt of at least $20 million, the Company intends to secure a facility to extract water from the Water Assets in greater quantities and other strategic relationships to allow for additional revenue generation from thus business venture and expansion of sales and brand recognition.
Our business plan in regards to use of the Water Assets envision a two-pronged strategy. We must raise at least $4 million to use third parties to extract and ship water in the first phase, and raise at least $20 million to build a facility to extract the water ourselves in the second phase which would take an estimated two years.
For an overview of key developments during 2024 and more recent developments and plans for the Company and its operations, see “Business.”
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 compared to Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not record any sales compared to revenues of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to a shortage of operating capital which limited our ability to maintain inventory and fulfil orders. We remain committed to resolving these constraints and resuming normal business activities in the upcoming quarter.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.4 million compared to revenues of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $3.2 million decrease in sales is driven by decreases in both the e-commerce and beverage businesses.
26
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was less than $0.01 million compared to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $0.7 million. The decrease in cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to our decreased sales.
Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.5 million compared to cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.9 million. The $1.7 million decrease in cost of goods sold was driven by decreased sales in both the e-commerce and beverage business.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $9.6 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a increase of $6.6 million. The increase in our operating expenses was primarily due to non-cash expenses.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $13.2 million compared to $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a increase of $3.6 million. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to non cash expenses.
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $9.9 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $22.0 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net loss is due to a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt and non-cash operating expenses and offset by the non-cash decrease in amortization of debt discount.
The Company did not meet all of its payroll obligations during the period from February to September 2025. As a result, employees were not paid for services rendered during that period. The unpaid wages have been fully accrued as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
Net Other Income and Expense
Interest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other income was $0.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Amortization of debt discount for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $0.03 million compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Amortization of debt discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $1.7 million compared to $2.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Results of Operations for FY 2024, compared to FY 2023
Revenue
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $4.2 million compared to revenues of $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Part of the $14.7 million decrease in sales was mainly due to a decrease in our beverage sales of $1.7 million. Additionally, revenues from our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash decreased approximately $13 million or 88.5% due to low inventory. Total sales declined due to limited liquidity to procure inventory to drive third-party sales.
27
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.8 million compared to cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $13.3 million. The $9.5 million decrease in cost of goods sold was due to our decreased sales. The $8.4 million decrease in cost of goods sold was driven by decreased sales in the e-commerce and $1.1 million was driven by beverage business.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $16.4 million compared to $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to $1.7 million of marketing expense, $0.5 million of contracted services, $2.1 million of other general and administrative expenses partially offset by increases of the non-cash expenses related to share issuance of $1.2 million. The loss of intangible impairment of $4.2 million was recorded in the other general and administrative expenses.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $6.9 million compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The other expense increased of $1.2 million is mainly driven by an increase in interest expense. Interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $2.9 million compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $1.0 million increase in interest expense is due to new loans with a principal of $3.2 million with higher interest rates. The Company also reserved $0.3 million for legal settlement. Other payments were offset by a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $0.2 million and $0.03 million in other expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
Due to our lack of capital, we have not generated any revenue since March 2025. In order to generate revenue, we require at least $2,000,000 of working capital in order to acquire inventory and re-commence minimal operations. This does not include our plans for our Water Assets or Chispo business plans which will require additional capital. Our lack of cash resources has prevented us from carrying on our commercialization activities. In addition, our lack of working capital has prevented us from marketing our products. See also “Risk Factors.”
We have not generated any revenue since March 2025 due to our lack of capital. In August 2025, the Company issued convertible promissory notes with individuals in the aggregate principal amount of $424,560. These loans mature in May or June 2026 and have an interest rate of 22% per annum. In September 2025 we sold secured convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $2,200,000 for total gross proceeds of $2,000,000, which notes do not bear any interest absent an event of default, and mature on September 22, 2026. In September 2025 we also entered into the ELOC Agreement which subject to certain conditions including registering the shares on a registration statement will allow us to access additional capital, we plan to access and deploy such capital to re-commence certain of our operations and to establish new operations as described in this report. In November 2025, the Company borrowed $500,000 from two accredited investors and issued senior promissory notes with a combined original principal amount of $588,235.30, reflecting a 15% original issue discount. The notes mature on February 12, 2026, accrue interest at 6% starting 30 days after issuance, and include customary default provisions. The notes also permit the holders, at their discretion, to apply outstanding principal, accrued interest, and any Company securities they hold as consideration for participation in future equity, equity-linked, or debt financings.
We plan to fund our operations through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in subsequent offerings until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to us. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations,
28
or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
As such, we have concluded that such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. Historically, we have funded operations primarily through the issuance of equity and debt securities. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $265,667 as compared with $15,346 at December 31, 2024. As of December 8, 2025, we had $168,000 in cash.
The Company is relying upon the Purchase Agreement as a source of liquidity. Its ability to generate material capital is in large part based on the future liquidity and the market price of our Common Stock. As long as our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American, we cannot issue any Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement without approval of the NYSE American, We have submitted an application with the NYSE American which is pending.
Net cash used for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $3.8 million as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $6.4 million. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used are decreases in inventory and accrued expenses.
For the period ending September 30, 2025 has no capital asset transactions and $0.01 million for September 30, 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September, 2025 was $4.1 million compared to $6.8 million provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September, 2025, the Company received $3.7 million for convertible note and 0.8 million for preferred stock, which was offset by repayments to debt holders of $0.4 million and shareholder advance in the amount of $0.2 million was exchanged to Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
In June 2025, we exchanged approximately $12.67 million of outstanding promissory notes and accrued interest for 126,710 shares of Series B 12% Convertible Preferred Stock. This transaction reduced outstanding debt, lowered interest expense, and improved our stockholders’ equity position. The Series B Preferred Stock accrues a 12% cumulative dividend and is convertible into common stock, subject to shareholder approval and an increase in authorized shares. This debt-to-equity conversion was part of our broader plan to strengthen our balance sheet and regain compliance with NYSE American listing standards.
In December 2025, the Company entered into agreements to issue a total of 113,636 shares of Common Stock and 1,136 shares of Series D to holders of options to purchase a total of up to $600,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for such options.
Based on our current operating plan, existing cash resources will not be sufficient to fund operations over the next 12 months. Our future capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including our ability to raise capital, revenue growth, gross margin trends, operating expense levels, working capital requirements, and the timing and extent of capital expenditures. We are evaluating opportunities to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing and may seek further debt restructurings to improve liquidity and reduce financing costs.
There can be no assurance that these plans will be successful. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or generate positive cash flow from operations, we may need to further reduce operating expenses, curtail business development activities, sell assets, or pursue other strategic alternatives.
29
In December 2020, Splash acquired the key assets, including intellectual property rights (the “IP”), of the Copa DI Vino single-serve wine company, a third party (“CdV”). On April 4, 2025 the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement (the “License Agreement”) granting CdV an exclusive license to use the IP for sales of wine beverages and other products bearing the Copa di Vino brand name in the U.S.
Under the License Agreement, CdV has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the IP at fair market value, determined by an independent third party, during the period beginning January 4, 2026 and ending January 4, 2027. If CdV does not exercise its right to purchase the IP under the License Agreement, the exclusive license granted to CdV thereunder will continue for the life of the IP, as applicable.
The Company has not marketed or sold the wine or other CdV products since April 2025.
On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with CdV (the “Settlement Agreement”) under which the parties agreed to the settlement of two lawsuits brought by CdV against the Company in Oregon and Florida, and the Company agreed to pay CdV a total of $0.7 million with interest accruing at 12% per annum, with installment payments beginning on November 4, 2025 in monthly payments of $63,000 plus applicable accrued interest. The Settlement Agreement provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which, subject to the Company’s right to cure within 15 days as to a payment default or 30 days with respect to other defaults, would entitle CdV to accelerate payment of the settlement amount, file suit against the Company and/or exercise its right to setoff against any funds or other property in CdV’s possession.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investors should recognize the cessation of revenue in evaluating these estimates.
Revenue
The Company faces significant judgment in revenue recognition due to the complexities of the beverage industry’s competitive landscape and diverse distribution channels. Determining the timing of revenue recognition involves assessing factors such as control transfer, returns, allowances, trade promotions, and distributor sell-through data. Historical analysis, market trends assessment, and contractual term evaluations inform revenue recognition judgments. However, inherent uncertainties persist, underscoring the critical nature of revenue recognition as it significantly impacts financial statements and performance evaluation.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and specific customer collection issues. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and adjusts the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or customer creditworthiness could result in adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts, impacting our reported financial results.
30
Inventory Valuation
We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Estimating the net realizable value of inventory involves significant judgment, particularly when market conditions change rapidly or when excess or obsolete inventory exists. Management regularly assesses inventory quantities on hand, future demand forecasts, and market conditions to determine whether write-downs to inventory are necessary.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements involve significant judgment and estimation, particularly when observable inputs are limited or not available. Management utilizes valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models, market comparable, and third-party appraisals to determine fair values.
Company Overview
Splash is a portfolio company seeking to manage brands across viable growth segments within the consumer beverage industry. Splash has built organizational capabilities and an infrastructure enabling it to incubate and/or acquire brands with the intention of efficiently accelerating them to higher volume and sales revenue. Because of our current lack of capital to generate revenue, our management is looking at strategic alternatives outside of the beverage industry. With respect to these strategic alternatives, we may make an acquisition of assets or a business that presents value for our stockholders. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not reached any understandings with respect to any business opportunity, and we may not do so. Any future acquisition of an unrelated business will likely require us to raise capital to support its operations even if we only issue equity securities to the seller. Additionally, it is engaged in preliminary discussions to acquire a majority ownership of another beverage product. See Risk Factors” at page 4.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to combine the traditional approach of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of beverages, with early-stage brands and assets that either have a reasonable level of pre-existing brand awareness and market presence, or have attributes that we believe to be innovative or otherwise present favorable growth opportunities and competitive advantages. We believe this allows us to break through the clutter of numerous brand introductions and dilute risk. We apply this philosophy regardless of whether the brand or asset is 100% owned or a joint venture.
For acquisition or joint venture consideration, we prefer to work with brands that already have one or more of the following in place:
| ● | Some level of preexisting brand awareness. |
| ● | Regional presence that can be expanded. |
| ● | Licensing brand names. |
| ● | Add to an underdeveloped and/or growing category capitalizing on consumer trends. |
| ● | Innovation to an existing attractive category (such as flavored tequila). |
| ● | A near term clear path to profitability. |
31
We believe this platform model provides us with two paths to success: one, developing our wholly owned core brands and two, the ability to tap into high growth, early-stage brands ready to scale. This platform allows us to limit risk, and significantly reduce development expenses while simultaneously increasing efficiencies for all brands in our portfolio.
Splash has the ability to fully own a brand or be flexible to engage in business ventures structured with a revenue split, or an equity position.
The benefit to Splash in these shared brand ownerships is the ability to avoid the development costs for new products. This model spreads our risk over several brands, contributes to our economies of scale, improves our relationship with distributors and reduces the overall cost of infrastructure.
The Company also believes the distribution landscape in the beverage category is changing rapidly. Tech-enabled business models are thriving and direct to consumer, office and home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction as beverage alcohol regulations evolve. A core strategy for us is to optimize the Qplash online platform, our consumer-packaged goods retail division and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel.
The Company has not made any sales since March 2025 due to its lack of capital resources. The Company is seeking to raise at least $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 in order to re-establish portions of its prior business through the sale of tequila products and potentially Qplash, and through the development and launch of operations using the Water Assets acquired in June 2025 which envision the extraction, bottling and sale of high quality drinking water sourced from an aquifer located in a “Blue Zone” in Costa Rica. The Company estimates that it will initially require $500,000 for the Chispo brand, $2 million for Qplash, and $4 million for its water business. In addition, the Company anticipates needing approximately $2 million for general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
Products
The following is a description of our current and contemplated products.
Costa Rica Water
On June 25, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement providing for our acquisition of certain water extraction rights and permits in Garabito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, which we refer to herein as “Water Assets.” The Water Assets permit the owner to extract water from an aquifer which is located in a “Blue Zone” in Costa Rica, or a geographic region known for exceptional longevity and natural purity wherein the inhabitants live significantly longer and healthier lives than the global average, with a high concentration of people who live to be 100 years or older. Preliminary tests indicate that the water has high purity and quality. Among the features of the water that we believe will set it apart from competitors and position it as an attractive option for distributors and consumers considering drinking water are:
| ● | Source Location: Deep aquifer beneath the rainforest in, Costa Rica, near one of the world’s five Blue Zones—regions known for exceptional longevity and natural purity. |
| ● | Large Orders Pending: Splash has already received a $500,000/month purchase order from a United Arab Emirates-based distributor for their premium convenience and travel stores. |
| ● | Naturally Filtered: Water is filtered through layers of volcanic rock, giving it a unique mineral composition and superior taste profile, |
| ● | Natural Alkaline. Naturally alkaline with a tested pH of 7.9, |
| ● | Mineral Rich: Rich in essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, and silica, |
32
| ● | High Purity: Outperforms certain high quality water brands such as Fiji and Evian in key mineral purity benchmarks. |
| ● | Brand Strength: Existing brand Blu which we acquired with the asset purchase, provides an early platform positioned for consumers who value origin, quality, and natural health. |
| ● | Sustainability: Bottled sustainably near the source in Costa Rica with minimal environmental footprint and potential for certification (e.g., Carbon Neutral, Rainforest Alliance). |
| ● | Growth Platform: Full control of source allows for the development of additional water brands, super-premium including value-tier, functional wellness, and export-ready SKUs. |
| ● | Strategic Fit: Aligns with global consumer trends in clean hydration, provenance storytelling, and sustainable luxury. |
We are in the process of developing two new brands for use in connection with the water, and believe the quality and location of the water sourced from the Water Assets will position us well to establish a brand for the extracted water. We believe the consumer trends towards health-focused and environmentally-friendly products will position us well to commercialize the Water Assets and establish brand recognition for branded products we develop using the extracted water.
Included in the Water Assets are a water concession permit, which grants the legal right to extract up to 0.81 liters/second (2.15 million liters/month) of groundwater, a water availability certificate, which confirms a total approved aquifer volume of 11 liters/second, and long-term extraction rights. The concession is registered with Costa Rica’s Ministry of Environment and Energy. We also received certain associated rights and licenses, including documentation allowing commercial export of bottled water.
In July 2025, we received our first purchase order for the sale of a total of 1,500 milliliters (ml) of bottled water for a total purchase price of $500,000 to a distributor in the United Arab Emirates to sell the products at its premium convenience and travel stores. We have entered into a monthly arrangement to supply the distributor with $500,000 per month. Processing these orders and generating revenue therefrom will depend on our ability to extract a sufficient quantity of water from the aquifer, which will require us to establish and deploy sufficient infrastructure and personnel on site, and compliance with regulatory requirements in the United Arab Emirates, particularly obtaining approval from the country’s Health Ministry. Our current plans are for phase 1 to raise at least $4 million to use third parties to extract and ship the water followed by phase 2, building our own facility which will take an additional estimated $20 million. Even if we are able to raise all of this capital, we estimate such a facility will not be available until December 2027. Following successful execution of phase 1 Splash will be capable of meeting the current orders. Phase 2 completion will be required for further U.S. and international expansion. Splash has not had the capital required to begin fulfillment of the $500,000 per month order.
The Company is in the process of developing and implementing its business plan and operations to use the Water Assets to extract and sell water to consumers and businesses, which will be subject to, among other things, accessing adequate capital, determining and constructing the necessary infrastructure and establishing and maintaining key relationships in Costa Rica and other countries in which we will pursue these operations. Among the initial challenges will be extracting water from the aquifer in commercial quantities. The current extraction capabilities on the site are limited, and constructing and operating our own facilities will be capital and time intensive, taking an estimate of approximately one year to build a facility, assuming we can obtain the requisite capital and regulatory approvals to do so, after which we also must adequately staff the facility to allow sufficient extraction capabilities. We expect that we will need to raise $20 million to build a facility and need $2 million for additional working capital. In the meantime, we intend to use third party contract manufacturers to assist in sourcing the water to service incoming purchase orders, to the extent practicable and commercially viable. Each regional market has unique label standards and may have additional regulatory requirements.
When we begin producing sufficient quantities of bottled water, we intend to leverage Qplash to seek online sales of our product including through popular grocer websites such as Walmart and Target.

Chispo Tequila
Chispo is a tequila brand which we plan to begin distributing in the near term. Chispo is an authentic blue agave blanco tequila, with fresh, sweet citrus, herbal floral notes ideal for cocktail mixing. We have entered into an arrangement with the Chispo producer under which we agreed to distribute the brand in certain states in the U.S., as well as in Guatemala and Europe. We expect that we will need approximately $500,000 in new financing to implement this business.

E-commerce
“Qplash” is a wholly owned division of Splash. It is our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel. The division sold beverages online through www.qplash.com, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com. Inside of the division, there are two primary customer groups: business to business retailers, which in turn offered the products to their customers, and business to consumer, selling direct to end users. The business-to-business program allows businesses to control inventory, order with payment terms, and offer the convenience of delivery directly to each store.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Qplash offered over 1,500 listings and has warehouses that ship from both California and Pennsylvania. Since January , 2025, Qplash has been inactive.
BAAD Beverages, LLC
On November 24, 2025, Splash SBII, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a JV Agreement with BAAD in connection with a newly formed JV Entity, BAAD Beverages, LLC pursuant to which the parties established a joint venture for the sale of adult, THC and CBD beverage products in states where such products are legally permitted. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, SBII received a 51% financial interest in the JV Entity in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $25,500, with BAAD receiving the remaining 49% in exchange for an initial capital contribution of $24,500. Under the JV Agreement, SBII is entitled to appoint two of the five managers of the JV Entity, and BAAD is entitled to appoint the other three managers. In connection with the joint venture, BAAD agreed to initial contribute a 25% ownership interest in intellectual property rights to the “Nimbus” brand to the JV Entity, which may be increased to up to 60% upon achieving milestones tied to gross sales of up to $4 million. Under the JV Agreement BAAD has the right to repurchase such intellectual property if revenue from Nimbus branded products falls below enumerated thresholds in the fourth quarters of 2026, 2027 or 2028, at a purchase price based on 200% of the joint venture’s trailing 12-month revenue from the sale of Nimbus branded products, of which SBII would be entitled to its pro rata portion based on its ownership of the JV Entity. The joint venture is prohibited from selling products without unanimous member approval in Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia and South Carolina.
34
The joint venture is still in its early stages and has not resulted in any revenue to the Company as of the date of this prospectus. The joint venture will require sufficient capital to commence material operations.

Prior Products
We previously sold the following products and brands under contractual arrangements with counterparties which have since been terminated. Below are certain products which we sold in the fiscal year ended December 31,2024 but no longer market or sell.
Splash’s wholly owned subsidiary, Splash Beverage Group II, Inc. acquired the rights under a license agreement with TapouT, LLC (Authentic Brands Group). In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the relationship between TapouT LLC and the Company was terminated.
By virtue of the foregoing developments, our focus is now on accessing the necessary capital to reinstate our operations in the production and sale of the tequila as well as online sales on Qplash, and the development of our business in the extraction and sale of high quality drinking water through our Water Rights in Costa Rica. These products and ventures are described above.
Competition
We compete with a large variety of other companies in the marketplace for the sale of non-alcoholic and alcoholic products. The beverage sector is highly competitive, and include international, national, regional and local producers and distributors. Competitive factors in the beverage industry include price and promotional activity, advertising and marketing programs, point-of-sale merchandising, retail space management, customer service, product differentiation, packaging innovations and distribution methods.
We believe that, if we can access sufficient capital to re-commence and maintain operations, our access to high quality water from the Water Assets will provide us with a competitive strength relative to many of our competitors.
Manufacturing and Co-packing
Although we are responsible for manufacturing tequila products under our joint venture, we do not directly manufacture these products, but instead outsource such manufacturing to third party bottlers and contract packers and distillers.
35
Chispo products are manufactured in Mexico, under separate arrangements. Our co-packaging arrangements are terminable upon request and do not obligate us to produce any minimum quantities of products within specified periods.
Our business model envisions purchasing concentrates, flavors, dietary ingredients, cans, bottles, caps, labels, and other components and ingredients for our beverage products from our suppliers, which are delivered to our manufacturing operations and various third-party bottlers and co-packers. In some cases, certain common supplies may be purchased by our various third-party bottlers and co-packers. Depending on the product, the third-party bottlers or packers add filtered water and/or other ingredients (including dietary ingredients) for the manufacture and packaging of the finished products into our approved containers in accordance with our formulas.
We are also responsible for all elements of the production, bottling and sale of water extracted through the Water Assets, although we may negotiate and enter into contractual arrangements to outsource certain functions to third parties.
Distribution
For our beverage-alcohol products, we operated within what is referred to as a “Three Tier Distribution System” where manufacturers are not permitted to sell directly to retailers, but instead contract for local and regional distribution with independent distributors. These distributors typically have geographic rights to distribute major beverage brands and call on every store in a given area such as major cities or regions. Our management team has extensive experience working within this channel and believes that we will be successful in building a strong network of these distributors.
In addition to working with these independent distributors, we also have distribution arrangements with national retail accounts where we distributed some of our products directly through their warehouse operations.
We are in the process of developing and establishing distribution channels for our sale of bottled water extracted using the Water Assets. To the extent we are able to, we intend to leverage our existing distribution channels and relationships to market and sell the water, which will depend, among other factors, on the locations, timing and volume of orders.
Employees
We have seven full-time employees, including non-officer employees and our executive officers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Director Independence
Our Board has determined that all of our present directors are independent, in accordance with standards under the NYSE Listing Rules, other than Mr. Nistico.

In reliance upon that, our Board confirmed Mr. Yorke’s status as an independent director. Our counsel confirmed that position although it advised us that there is NYSE guidance that acting as corporate Secretary disables a person form being independent.

The Board and its committees meet and act by written consent from time to time as appropriate. The Board has formed the following three standing committees: (i) the Audit Committee, (ii) the Compensation and Management Resources Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and (iii) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”).

It also develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company, which the Nominating Committee shall periodically review and revise as appropriate. In discharging its oversight role, the Nominating Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention.
Board leadership structure and role in risk oversight
The Board oversees our business and affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with corporate governance principles, the Board of Directors does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the principal executive officer and other key executives, by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in Board and committee meetings.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers (including our President and principal financial and accounting officers and any person performing similar functions) and employees. Our Code of Ethics is available at our website at www.splashbeveragegroup.com.
Clawback Policy
On September 20, 2023, the Board adopted the Splash Beverage Group Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), effective September 20, 2023, providing for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to restate any of its financial statements filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act in order to correct an error that is material to the previously-issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Adoption of the Clawback Policy was mandated by new NYSE listing standards introduced pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. A copy of the Clawback Policy has been filed as Exhibit 97.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and can also be found at www.splashbeveragegroup.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities (the “Exchange Act”) of 1934 requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all reporting requirements for fiscal year 2024 were complied with by each person who at any time during the 2024 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our Common Stock, except for the following: (i) Julius Ivancsits, and Stacy McLaughlin each filed a late Form 3 report at the time of their appointments and on becoming insiders of the Company; (ii) Julius Ivancsits filed a late Form 4 report on May 6, 2024; (iii) Robert Nistico filed a late Form 4 for his grant of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock; and (iv) Frederick William (“Bill”) Caple filed a late Form 4 for his grant of the Company’s shares of Common Stock and stock options. .
Change in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On March 9, 2023, the Company was advised by Daszkal Bolton, LLP (“Daszkal”), the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, that Daszkal completed a business combination agreement with CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”). As a result of this transaction, Daszkal resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm upon the Company filing its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Daszkal’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
On May 4, 2023, upon the approval of the Audit Committee, the Company engaged CohnReznick as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and interim periods. However, the Company on June 13, 2023, on the recommendation of the audit committee, the members of the Board, dismissed CohnReznick as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. CohnReznick completed only one interim review of the interim financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on June 6, 2023. Since the engagement of CohnReznick on May 4, 2023, there had been no disagreements with CohnReznick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to CohnReznick’s satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such period. During the period of engagement, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except that CohnReznick advised the Company of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023.
On June 15, 2023, upon the approval of the Audit Committee, the Company engaged Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP (“Rose, Snyder & Jacobs”), as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and interim periods.

The Company’s Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information.
The Company maintains practices regarding the timing of equity-based compensation grants to executive officers, though it does not have a formal written policy governing such grants. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date). As a result, in all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards, including stock options, occurs independent of the release of any material nonpublic information, and the Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of equity-based compensation.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of December 18, 2025, for:
| ● | each of our current directors and executive officers; | |
| ● | all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and | |
| ● | each person, or group of affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our Common Stock. |
Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise specified, the address for each of the persons named in the table is 1314 E Las Olas Blvd. Suite 221, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.
Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 2,773,106 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 18, 2025. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act , a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.

This Prospectus also covers any additional securities that may become issuable by reason of stock splits, stock dividends or other similar transactions.
For additional information regarding the issuance of Common Stock covered by this Prospectus, see the section entitled “The Private Placements” above.

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders and the shares of Common Stock that it may offer from time to time under this Prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, and reflects holdings as of November 17, 2025.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholders have voting and investment power. The percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 2,550,694 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on November 19, 2025. Because the conversion and exercise prices of the Convertible Securities are subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares that may actually be issued to and sold by the Selling Stockholders may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this Prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Prospectus.
We may amend or supplement this Prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change the Selling Stockholder list and the securities that may be resold.
Please see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the Selling Stockholder’s method of distributing these securities.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION
POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that is it is the opinion of the SEC that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except for the litigation disclosed below, we are not currently a party to any legal or arbitration proceeding the outcome of which, if ‘determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition.
On August 14, 2024, TapouT, LLC, (“TapouT”), filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) against the Company in the Supreme Count of New York for New York County (the “Court”). The Complaint pertains to breach of a certain Licensing Agreement dated December 8, 2011, under which the Company became a successor in interest on July 1, 2013, pursuant to an amendment to the Licensing Agreement.
TapouT alleges that as a result of an unpaid invoice they had exercised their right pursuant to section 22 of the Licensing Agreement to terminate the Licensing Agreement. TapouT alleges that as a result of the aforementioned termination, pursuant to the Licensing Agreement, they are owed all unpaid fees and other amounts payable become immediately due. As a result, TapouT have brought two causes of action, the first being breach of contract for the unpaid invoice and the second for accounts stated for all unpaid fees and other amounts payable. TapouT, LLC is seeking $1,400,000 for termination of the Licensing Agreement. The Company does not view this as a reasonable amount given that the Company believes TapOut LLC did not fulfill their obligations pursuant the Licensing Agreement. The Company believes the case will be settled for a lower amount and has booked a legal reserve of $330,000 as the estimate for the potential liability.
On November 12, 2024, the Company filed a motion to compel mediation that is pending before the Court.
The Company intends to take all necessary steps to continue to vigorously defend against the action. The parties meet regularly on this matter in an attempt to settle the matter prior to the court date, but to date no settlement offer has been agreed upon.
The validity of the issuance of the securities offered by this Prospectus will be passed upon for us by Nason, Yeager, Gerson, Harris, & Fumero, P.A., Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID: 468)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Evaluation of Intangible Assets for Impairment
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually or when events or circumstances indicate the fair value of the asset may be below its carrying value. This analysis involves comparing events and circumstances such as general macroeconomic conditions, conditions specific to the industry and company specific factors. These fair value estimates are sensitive to significant assumptions and judgments, such as projections of operating expenditures, discount rates, and future levels of revenue.
The Company has experienced a decline in its reported amounts of Beverage revenue and the Beverage operating segment has experienced losses from operations for the past several years. These factors were considered a triggering event indicative of impairment, which resulted in an impairment assessment by management. Pursuant to current accounting guidance, management performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that its intangible assets were impaired and the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $4.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s intangible asset balance was $0.
Auditing management’s annual impairment tests was complex because of the significant judgment required to evaluate management’s assumptions used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets.
How We Addressed the Matter in our Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of intangible assets for impairment included the following, among others:
| 1. | We evaluated managements significant accounting policies related to the impairment of intangible assets for reasonableness. |
| 2. | We evaluated management’s assessment of the grouping of long-lived assets for which separately identifiable cash flows can be determined. |
| 3. | With respect to the Company’s valuation of its intangible assets: |
| a. | We assessed the qualifications and competence of management |
| b. | We evaluated the methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s intangible assets |
| c. | We reperformed management’s quantitative analysis to assess the impact of intangible asset impairment |
| 4. | We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures regarding impairment assessments included in Note 2. |

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Splash Beverage Group (“SBG” or “Splash”), formally Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (“CMS”) was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS was in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.
On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.
As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.
As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of Common Stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.
Splash specializes in the manufacturing process, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C E-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.
In July 2020 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation of CMS with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, pursuant to which the Company changed its name from CMS. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from CMS to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. Our new ticker symbol is SBEV.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Our cash in uninsured foreign bank accounts was $4,817 and $0 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $300,827 and $183,089 , respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $621,178 and $290,524 at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Property and Equipment
We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-20 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

Excise taxes
The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The Company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). |
| Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. |
The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.
F-10
Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Distribution expenses to transport our products, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The cost of transportation from production site to other 3rd party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative cost.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other General and Administrative expenses include Amazon selling fees, cost of transportation from production site to other 3rd party warehouses or customers, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, investor relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,”Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. We early adopted ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which aligns accounting treatment for such awards to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.
We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our Common Stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740,”Income Taxes”. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 . See note 13.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive Common Stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and warrants granted by our Board that have not been exercised totaling 3,424,996.
Advertising
We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We recorded advertising expense of $486,942 and $1,721,547 for the years ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Goodwill and other intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results.
At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon the facts and circumstances related to the particular intangible asset. Inherent in such estimates are judgments and estimates of future revenue, profitability, cash flows and appropriate discount rates for any present value calculations. The Company preliminarily estimates the value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and then finalizes the estimated fair values during the purchase allocation period, which does not extend beyond 12 months from the date of acquisition. The Company’s amortization expense for acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives was $392,068 for fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company performed an impairment test for its Brand Name, Customer Relationships and license. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeded its fair value, resulting in an impairment loss of $4.3 million.
The impairment loss of $4.3 million was recorded in the statement of operations within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. This impairment was primarily driven by the decline in the Company’s sales and was calculated using the present value of future cash flows.

Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, when relocating or closing a facility, or when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.
Foreign Currency Gain/Losses
Foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gain or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in Other Comprehensive Income. The Company incurred a foreign currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $97,763 and a foreign currency translation net gain during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $3,889.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of FASB ASU 2020-06
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts by removing certain models that were previously required to be applied. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024 and has removed the effects of any embedded conversion features from certain of our convertible instruments as of that date.

Note 3 – Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations
During 2024, the Company received $9.5 million from issuance of debt.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $22.9 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $0.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of July 11, 2025, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, and it has a working capital deficit.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters include actions to sustain the Company’s operations, such as seeking additional funding to meet its obligations and implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its plans or in raising additional funds. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses could be materially affected.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Splash”) seeks to identify, acquire, and build early stage or under-valued beverage brands that have strong growth potential within its distribution system. Splash’s distribution system is comprehensive in the US and is also seeking to expand to select attractive international markets. Through its division Qplash, Splash’s distribution reach includes e-commerce access to both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) customers. Prior to pausing its operations in February 2025, Qplash marketed well known beverage brands to customers throughout the US that prefer delivery direct to their office, facilities, and or homes.
On March 27, 2025, the Company implemented a 1.0 for 40.0 reverse stock split. All common stock shares stated herein have been adjusted to reflect the split. The purpose of this reverse split was to maintain the company’s listing on the NYSE American.
In June 2025 the Company acquired water extraction rights to an aquifer located in Costa Rica, which assets are referred to herein as the “Water Assets.” Subject to accessing the necessary capital and infrastructure, the Company’s business plan for the Water Assets envisions the extraction, bottling and sale of high quality drinking water. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has received a purchase order from a customer in the United Arab Emirates. The Company needs to raise approximately $4,000,000 in order to bottle, package, and ship this order.
Beginning in February, 2025, the Company temporarily suspended its operations due to its lack of adequate capital to acquire inventory and otherwise maintain its business operations. The Company intends to re-commence certain operations and to establish new operations upon its receipt of sufficient capital and determining appropriate updates to its strategy and business plan. Subject to receiving sufficient capital, the Company intends to focus its efforts on distribution of the Chispo brand tequila, establishing and growing material operations through the sale of water extracted from the Water Assets, and re-launching its Qplash platform primarily to provide an online supplement to sales of these products. Subject to receipt of at least $20 million, the Company intends to secure a facility to extract water from the Water Assets in greater quantities and other strategic relationships to allow for additional revenue generation from thus business venture and expansion of sales and brand recognition.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 11, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash and its wholly owned subsidiaries Splash Beverage Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), Splash International Holdings LLC (“International”), Splash Mex SA de CV (“Splash Mex”), and Copa di Vino Wine Group, Inc. (“Copa di Vino”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Our accounting and reporting policies confirm to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Our cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. At September 30, 2025 the Company had $15,667 in excess of the federally insured limits. and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash on deposit with financial institutions had not exceeded federally insured limits of $250,000.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated recoverable amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. The Company establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration are based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. The Company manages inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $621,516 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Property and Equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-39 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.
Depreciation expense totaled $37,017 and $37,017 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, depreciation expense totaled $111,053 and $111,246, respectively. Property and equipment as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Auto | 45,420 | 45,420 | ||||||

| Accumulated depreciation | (2,087,574 | ) | (1,976,522 | ) | ||||
| Property, plant & equipment, net | 93,756 | 204,808 | ||||||
Excise taxes
The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. | |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). | |
| Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. |

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities and market rates of interest.
Embedded Debt Costs in Convertible Debt Instruments
In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024 and has removed the effects of any embedded conversion features from certain of our convertible instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue when the Company’s performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur for the Splash Beverage and E-commerce businesses once control of the Company’s products are transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, and revenue is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives offered to the Company’s customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Distribution expenses to transport our products, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for in Other General and Administrative cost.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory. The cost of transportation from production site to other 3rd party warehouses or customer is included in Other General and Administrative cost.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other General and Administrative expenses includes Amazon selling fees, cost associated with the outbound shipping and handling of finished goods, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, Investor Relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, ”Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the award’s vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based awards.
F-36
Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, ”Income Taxes”. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) less preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, warrants to purchase shares of common stock and shares issuable upon the conversion of notes payable.

Advertising
The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. The Company recorded advertising expense of $8,833 and $216,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded advertising expense of $49,554 and $403,610 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangibles Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results. The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets were impaired to $0 at December 31, 2024.
At the time of acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon the facts and circumstances related to the particular intangible asset. Inherent in such estimates are judgments and estimates of future revenue, profitability, cash flows and appropriate discount rates for any present value calculations. The Company preliminarily estimates the value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and then finalizes the estimated fair values during the purchase allocation period, which does not extend beyond 12 months from the date of acquisition.
On June 25, 2025, the Company acquired water concession rights and related permits in Garabito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, as part of the Utopia asset acquisition. The concession grants the legal right to extract up to 0.81 liters per second from the approved aquifer, with renewals available every ten years, contingent on approval by regulatory agencies in Costa Rica. Management expects the concession to be renewed for at least 100 years. The water rights are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350 and are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the water rights was $20.0 million, and no impairment was recorded.
Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses — foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gains or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company incurred foreign currency translation net loss of $1,277 and net gain of $85,074 for the three months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively and net loss of $47,179 and net gain of $77,819 for the nine months ending September 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of US GAAP for a going concern, on the premise that the Company is able to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. The Company historically has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operation since inception and had net-loss of approximately $10.0 million for three-month period ended September 30, 2025 and accumulated deficit of approximately $178.3 million through September 30, 2025. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $3.7 million. Additionally, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets, and it has a working capital deficit. To date the Company has generated cash flows from issuances of equity and indebtedness.
The Company received approximately $3.7 million from the issuance of debt and $0.8 million from sale of preferred stock and warrants for the nine months ending September 30, 2025.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters include actions to sustain the Company’s operations, such as seeking additional funding to meet its obligations and implement its business plan. The Company has issued preferred stock as part of its strategy to regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards and reduce debt. These preferred shares, specifically Series B 12% convertible preferred stock, were issued in exchange for promissory notes. The preferred stock offers a 12% cumulative dividend and potential conversion to common stock, subject to shareholder approval and an increase in authorized common stock. In June 2025, the Company exchanged approximately $12.67 million outstanding promissory notes and accrued interest for 126,710 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. By converting debt into equity, the Company enhanced its balance sheet, reduced interest expense, and improved its shareholder equity position in furtherance of its goal of complying with exchange requirements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses could be materially affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard.
Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $2.2 million as a reduction to the additional paid in capital and added approximately $1.3 million to the opening retained earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance under ASU 2020-06.
All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

Note 5– Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
On March 27, 2025, the Company implemented a 1.0 for 40.0 reverse stock split. The reverse stock split was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 14, 2025. All numbers of shares of common stock have been adjusted to reflect the split. The purpose of this reverse split was to ensure that the Company could meet the per share price requirements of the NYSE American.
During the nine-months September 30, 2025, we issued 55,500 shares valued at $141,595 in exchange for services, 586,037 shares for conversion of notes payable and accrued interest totaling $2,122,244.
Preferred Stock
The Company evaluated the classification of the Preferred Stock and related warrants issued with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Based on this assessment, management determined that the Preferred Stock and warrants meet the criteria for equity classification. Specifically, the instruments are not mandatorily redeemable, do not embody obligations to repurchase the Company’s shares by transferring assets, and do not require settlement in a variable number of shares with a monetary value that is fixed, tied to a variable other than the Company’s own stock, or indexed to something other than the Company’s stock. The warrants are indexed solely to the Company’s common stock and meet the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock and related warrants have been classified as components of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has issued four series of preferred stock: Series A, A-1, B, and C, each with distinct rights and preferences as outlined below. Note agreements were amended to be exchanged for Preferred B and the impact of those amendments is subject to further review.
Voting Rights
| ● | Series A carries 25,000 votes per share but is limited solely to voting on the authorization of additional shares. It has no other voting rights. Series A is redeemable. Series A shares are held solely by Robert Nistico, Director, a related party. | |
| ● | Series A-1 carries 180 votes per share. | |

Dividends
| ● | Series A does not accrue dividends. | |
| ● | Series A-1 and Series B carry a fixed 12% annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears, in either cash or payment-in-kind (PIK) at the Company’s discretion. These dividends are mandatory and take priority over any dividends on common stock, regardless of whether common stock dividends are declared. | |
| ● | Series C does not accrue dividends. |
Conversion into Common Stock
| ● | Series A is not convertible. | |
| ● | Series A-1 is convertible into common stock at 80% of the VWAP, subject to a floor of $1.25 and a ceiling of $4.00. A-1 is convertible into a range of 262,500 to 840,000 common shares. | |
| ● | Series B is also convertible at 80% of the VWAP, with a floor of $1.25 and a ceiling of $6.00,and is convertible into a range of 2,118,333 to 10,168,000 common shares. | |

The Company issued 20,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock as consideration, at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share. Management determined that the transaction is an asset acquisition under ASC 805, as substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset—the water rights—and no substantive processes were acquired.. The acquisition of the water rights was recorded at a cost of $20 million, which is the fair value of the Series C preferred shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of the water rights. The Series C shares are convertible into common stock, subject to shareholder approval.
During August 2025, 1,535 shares of Preferred-B were converted into 113,295 shares of common stock.
Stock Plan
2020 Plan adjusted for the 1 for 40 reverse split.
In July 2020, the Board adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which provides for the grant of Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Performance Bonuses to consultants and eligible recipients.

Item 16. Exhibits.
(a) See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately preceding the signature page hereto for a list of exhibits filed as part of this Registration Statement on Form S-1, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the financial statements or the notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
II-6
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
