關於前瞻性聲明的警示性聲明
我們包括以下討論,以一般性地告知現有和潛在的安防-半導體持有人一些可能影響我們公司的風險和不確定性,並利用適用的聯邦證券法所提供的對未來聲明的「安全港」保護。
不時,我們的管理層或代表我們行事的人員可能會發表前瞻性聲明,以告知現有和潛在的安防-半導體持有人有關我們公司的信息。本報告中與我們財務狀況、業務策略、管理層未來運營計劃和目標以及行業板塊條件有關的所有除歷史事實陳述的聲明均爲前瞻性聲明。在本報告中使用的前瞻性聲明通常伴隨着諸如「估計」、「項目」、「預測」、「相信」、「期望」、「預期」、「目標」、「計劃」、「打算」、「尋求」、「目標」、「將」、「應該」、「可能」或其他字詞及類似表達,這些詞表達了未來事件或結果的不確定性。對實際或潛在未來銷售、市場規模、合作、趨勢或運營結果進行假設的項目也構成此類前瞻性聲明。
前瞻性聲明涉及固有風險和不確定性,以及重要因素(其中許多是我們無法控制的),這些因素可能導致實際結果與前瞻性聲明中所述結果存在重大差異,包括以下內容:
此外,"我們相信"的聲明及其他類似聲明反映了我們對相關主題的信念和觀點。我們已經基於截至本報告日期的當前預期和對未來事件的假設來制定這些前瞻性聲明和信念聲明。雖然我們的管理層認爲這些預期和假設是合理的,但它們本質上受到重大業務、經濟、競爭、監管和其他風險和不確定性的影響,其中大多數是難以預測的,而且其中許多超出了我們的控制。因此,實際實現的結果可能與這些聲明中預期的結果存在重大差異。前瞻性聲明僅在發佈之日有效。你應仔細考慮「第1A項:風險因素」及本報告其他部分中的聲明,這些部分描述了可能導致我們的實際結果與前瞻性聲明中所述結果不同的因素。
請您在閱讀本報告時,不要過分依賴這些前瞻性聲明,這些聲明僅代表本報告日期。我們不承擔更新任何前瞻性聲明以反映本報告日期後可能發生的任何事件或情況的義務,除非適用法律或法規要求。我們建議讀者仔細審閱我們向美國證券交易委員會(「SEC」)提交的報告中所披露的各項信息,以嘗試告知利益相關方可能影響我們業務、財務狀況、經營結果和現金流狀況的風險和因素。如果其中一個或多個風險或不確定因素成爲現實,或者基礎假設被證明不正確,我們的實際結果可能與預期或投影的結果大不相同。

註釋1– 組織和業務性質
Sow Good Inc.(「SOWG」,「Sow Good」,「我們」或「公司」)是一家總部位於美國的冷凍糖果和零食製造商。前身爲Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc.(一家參與石油和天然氣租賃收購和開發的企業,於2020年10月1日被該公司收購),最初專注於生產冷凍水果和蔬菜,後來擴展業務到冷凍糖果。在收購Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc.時,公司的普通股開始在OTCQb上以「SOWG」交易標的的形式報價,原交易標的爲「ANFC」。2012年4月2日之前,Black Ridge Oil & Gas被稱爲Ante5,Inc.,自2010年7月1日起上市交易。生效
2021年5月,公司宣佈推出首個直達消費者的冷凍包裝消費品(CPG)產品線,包括非轉基因產品的即食冰沙、無麩質燕麥和零食。在2023年第一季度推出冷凍糖果產品線後,截至2024年9月30日,公司現有21種糖果SKU產品和3種巧克力冰淇淋SKU,作爲公司產品組合的全部產品。推出冷凍糖果產品線後,公司停止了冰沙、零食和燕麥產品。在2023年第二季度,公司完成了第二和第三臺冷凍乾燥機的施工,以促進其糖果產品的增產需求。對冷凍糖果產品的顯著和不斷增長的需求促使公司在2024年第一季度增加第四臺冷凍乾燥機,在2024年第二季度增加第五臺冷凍乾燥機,2024年第三季度完成第六臺冷凍乾燥機的建設。
備註2 – 重要會計政策摘要
附表未經審計的中期財務報表已按照美國通用會計準則("U.S. GAAP")編制,並以美元列示,與我們在年度報告形式10-K中包含的財務報表中適用的方式一致,截至2023年12月31日財政年度結束。由於這些財務報表涉及中期,未包括美國通用會計準則爲完整財務報表所要求的所有信息和腳註。這些中期財務信息未經審計,但反映了管理部門認爲對中期期間進行公正陳述所必需的所有調整。本季度報告文件10-Q中呈現的運營結果不一定能反映出預期於2024年12月31日結束的年度或任何將來期間的結果。這份季度報告10-Q應與公司年度報告形式10-k中包含的經審計財務報表和腳註以及於2024年4月25日提交給證監會(SEC)的文件號爲333-277042的S-1/A修正註冊聲明(「註冊聲明」)一起閱讀,根據1933年修訂版證券法(「證券法」)。
分部報告
FASb ASC 280-10-50要求企業的經營板塊及有關產品、服務、地理區域和重要客戶的年度和中期報告,並相關披露。經營板塊被定義爲企業的一個組成部分,從中可能產生收入和費用的業務活動,並且首席經營決策者定期評估有關該板塊的分開財務信息,以決定如何分配資源。公司作爲單一板塊運營,並將隨着業務擴展評估額外的板塊披露要求。
使用估計
根據美國通用會計準則編制財務報表需要管理層進行估計和假設,這些會影響資產和負債的報告金額以及在財務報表日期披露的或有資產和負債的金額,以及報告期間收入和費用的金額。實際結果可能與這些估計有所不同。
重新分類
上期財務報表中的特定金額已根據當前呈現方式重新分類。

環保母基負債
本公司之前是石油和天然氣行業資產的直接擁有者。石油和天然氣行業由於其本質,面臨環境風險和清理費用。目前,管理層並不知道有任何重大損失是由於環境事故或事件造成的,這些損失對公司將產生實質性影響。
現金及現金等價物
現金等價物包括到期不超過三個月的貨幣市場帳戶。現金等價物按成本加 accrued 利息列示,接近市場價值。
現金超出FDIC保險額度
本公司將其現金存放在銀行存入資金帳戶中,這些帳戶在某些時候可能超過聯邦保險限額。帳戶由聯邦存款保險公司("FDIC")和證券投資者保護公司("SIPC")擔保,金額最高爲$
應收賬款
應收賬款按其預計可收回金額計入。交易應收賬款根據與客戶的過去信用記錄及其當前財務狀況定期評估可收回性。公司有不良帳戶準備金爲 $
公司根據歷史損失信息估計其準備金。公司認爲,歷史損失信息是判斷報告日期持有的應收賬款預期信用損失的合理基礎,因爲報告日期的應收賬款組成與用於開發歷史信用損失百分比的一致。然而,公司將繼續監控並調整歷史損失率,以反映當前條件和預測變化的影響。
存貨
存貨按平均成本或淨可實現價值的較低者計價。公司幾乎所有存貨的成本均通過先進先出("FIFO")法確定。
資產和設備
物業和設備按成本或估計淨可回收金額的較低者列示。

收入確認
本公司按照ASC 606認可營業收入—— Revenue from Contracts with Customers (「ASC 606」)。根據ASC 606,本公司根據一個五步模型確認銷售其冷凍乾燥食品的營業收入,在該模型中,本公司評估承諾的商品或服務的轉移,並在客戶獲得承諾的商品或服務的控制權時確認營業收入,金額反映本公司預計有權獲得的作爲交換的對價。爲了判斷本公司確定在ASC 606範圍內的安排的營業收入確認,本公司執行以下五個步驟:(1)識別與客戶的合同;(2)識別合同中的履約義務;(3)判斷交易價格;(4)將交易價格分配到合同中的履約義務;(5)當(或在)實體滿足履約義務時確認營業收入。本公司已選擇作爲實際上的便利,將運輸和處理費用視爲履行成本,而非單獨的履約義務。對於截至2024年和2023年9月30日的九個月,運輸和處理費用爲 $

每股基本及稀釋盈利(虧損)
基本每股淨利潤(虧損)是通過將淨利潤(虧損)除以在外流通的普通股加權平均股數來計算的。稀釋每股淨利潤(虧損)是通過將調整後的淨利潤(虧損)按「如轉換」的基礎除以在外流通的普通股加權平均股數加上潛在稀釋證券來計算的。在潛在稀釋證券對稀釋每股淨虧損會產生反稀釋效果且未被納入計算的期間。
股份補償
公司根據ASC 718的規定對發放給員工的權益工具進行覈算 - 股票補償 (「ASC 718」)以及根據ASC 2018-07 – 薪酬 - 股票補償 (「ASC 2018-07」)。所有交易中以發行權益工具作爲購買商品或服務的對價的,均按收到的對價的公允價值或所發行的權益工具的公允價值進行覈算,以較可靠可測量的爲準。權益工具發行公允價值的計量日期爲對方履約完成的日期或達到對方因較大不履約懲罰而獲得權益工具的履約承諾的日期,以較早者爲準。

所得稅
公司根據資產和負債的財務報告與稅基之間的差異,使用施行的稅率和法律確認遞延稅資產和負債,這些稅率和法律預計在差異預計被恢復時生效。公司爲遞延稅資產提供估值備抵,因爲其認爲實現這些資產的可能性不大於50%。
不確定的稅務立場:
根據ASC 740 – 所得稅 (「ASC 740」),公司僅在稅務立場更可能不是凡事以技術優勢承受稅務機關的審查時,才能確認不確定稅務立場的稅收收益。這些標準規定了稅務立場在財務報表中確認和計量的確認閾值和計量屬性。這些標準還提供了關於去確認、分類、利息和罰款、期間會計、披露和過渡的指導。
各種稅務機關可以定期審計公司的所得稅申報。 這些審計包括有關公司稅務申報立場的問題,包括扣除的時間和金額以及將收入分配到各個稅務轄區。在評估與這些不同稅務申報立場相關的風險時,包括州和地方稅務, 公司爲可能的風險記錄了準備金。在某個特定事項被審計並完全解決之前,可能會經過數年。 公司尚未接受任何稅務機關的審查。
公司稅務立場的評估依賴於管理層的判斷,以估計與公司各種申報立場相關的風險。
最近的會計聲明
在2023年11月,FASB發佈了ASU 2023-07,分部報告(主題280):可報告分部披露的改進,要求公共實體在年度和中期基礎上披露重大分部費用和其他分部項目,並在中期期間提供關於可報告分部的利潤或損失及其資產的所有披露,這些披露目前在年度申報中是必需的。 具有單一可報告分部的公共實體需要提供新的披露以及根據ASC 280要求的所有披露。 本指南在2023年12月15日後開始的財政年度及在2024年12月15日後開始的財政年度的中期有效,採用追溯基礎。 公司作爲單一分部運營,隨其業務擴展將評估額外的分部披露要求。
在2023年12月,FASB發佈了ASU 2023-09,所得稅(主題740):所得稅披露的改進,旨在提高所得稅披露的透明度和決策有效性,特別是在稅率調節表和有關支付的所得稅的披露中。 ASU的修訂在2024年12月15日之後開始的年度期間生效,採用前瞻性原則。 允許提前採用。 公司目前正在評估採用此ASU對其基本報表和相關披露的影響。
截至2024年9月30日的九個月內,沒有其他新的會計公告發布或生效。這些公告對公司的基本報表沒有或預計不會產生重大影響。

注意事項 4 – 金融工具的公允價值
公司的財務報表是根據ASC 820編制的,”公允價值測量,” 這要求按公允價值計量某些金融工具。該公司的金融工具主要包括現金和現金等價物、應收賬款(由於其短期性質而接近公允價值)以及與可拆卸認股權證相關的定期貸款,這些貸款在扣除相關折扣的未攤銷部分後記入資產負債表。對於根據公認會計原則需要定期或非經常性按公允價值報告的金融工具或投資,適用的公允價值計量指導要求公司包括確定每種工具的適當公允價值層次級別。公允價值層次結構層次包括以下內容:
第 1 級:活躍市場中相同資產或負債的報價-該水平代表最高的可觀察性,其中公允價值基於活躍市場中相同資產或負債的報價市場價格。
級別 2:包括在第 1 級中的非報價投入——該級別的公允價值基於報價以外的投入,但仍可觀察,例如類似資產或負債的報價市場價格,或來自市場數據的投入。
第 3 級:不可觀察的投入-該級別包括沒有可觀測輸入的公允價值,依賴於報告實體自己的假設和估計。這些公允價值被認爲是最不可靠和最主觀的。
根據適用的會計指導,與債務相關的可拆卸普通股認股權證可以記爲負債或權益。公司確定發行的與我們的應付票據有關的認股權證符合

基本財務報表附註。
(未經審計)
自由財務工具的定義,並符合永久股本待遇。按照發行日期確定的公允市值記錄爲股本的認股權證,在那之後不會重新計量。我們使用Black-Scholes估值模型來估計發行日期授予的認股權證的公平價值。公允價值的初始計量考慮未來現金流的現值,以發行日期的當前市場利率折現,以及流動性時間。公司在發行時將認股權證的價值分配給無認股權證的應付票據的相對公允價值和認股權證本身。認股權證的分配部分被視爲債務折讓,並按票據期限攤銷。債務折讓的攤銷被確認爲利息費用。當應付票據以折讓金額髮行時,其中發行量的大部分是與相關方之間發生的,票據和折讓的估值涉及重大評估和使用不可觀測的輸入,將其分類爲公允價值層次的第3級,需要進行非經常性的公允價值測量。除加入、解決或折讓攤銷外,應付票據的公允價值的變動,減去折讓後不會影響淨利潤或現金流量。
下表總結了資產負債表上以非經常性基礎計量的金融工具的公允價值評估,截至 2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日:

概述與展望
Sow Good是一家引領潮流的美國冷凍糖果和零食製造商,致力於爲消費者提供創新和爆炸性口味的冷凍零食。Sow Good已經利用我們獨有的冷凍乾燥技術和產品專業化製造設施,將傳統糖果轉變爲一種新穎和令人興奮的日常糖果亞類,我們稱之爲冷凍糖果。我們從2023年第一季度開始商業化我們的冷凍糖果產品,截至2024年9月30日,我們在Sow Good糖果系列中有21種庫存量單位(SKU),在Sow Good Crunch Cream系列中有3種SKU。截至2024年9月30日,我們的糖果銷售額主要集中在批發和零售渠道,電子商務銷售額佔比不到2%。截至2024年9月30日,我們的產品在美國的6000多家實體零售店上架銷售。自從我們的美味零食於2023年3月首次亮相以來,對我們吸引人的美味零食的迅速需求增長凸顯了消費者對我們新穎和爆炸性味道零食的興奮,可以「在更少的咬一口中滿足你的甜蜜牙齒」。
我們在德克薩斯州的歐文市定製建造了一個20,945平方英尺的凍幹設施,並在中國和哥倫比亞進入了更多的共同製造安排。凍幹通過在極低的氣壓、接近外太空的環境中,施加少量熱量,去除產品在冷凍狀態下高達99%的水分,使用大型真空腔體,使水分以音速從產品中被移除。該去水過程可能需要長達24小時,濃縮了產品的味道,創造出一種「超幹、超脆、超美味」的可食用零食。我們致力於提供最美味、最脆的零食的承諾擴展到了產品包裝過程中,員工們專注於在嚴格管理的低溼度條件下,通過我們的精確包裝流程手工包裝零食,以保護我們的零食不再接觸水分。
我們已經建造了六臺專爲我們的產品量身定製的凍幹設備,採用專有技術,每年可凍幹多達2400萬單位的凍幹糖果,從而在德克薩斯州歐文打造了一家真正的尖端設施。我們已在六臺額外的凍幹設備上支付了定金,計劃在接下來九個月內使其在我們位於德克薩斯州達拉斯的新323,000平方英尺設施內投入運營。此外,由於客戶需求強勁,我們已與第三方製造商達成共同製造安排,其凍幹設施符合我們嚴格的生產、衛生和過敏原控制要求,以及我們的食品質量和安全標準。目前,由第三方製造的所有產品均運往我們在德克薩斯州的設施進行包裝。
Sow Good由Claudia和Ira Goldfarb共同創辦,擁有超過十年的製造業-半導體專業知識,專注於愛文思控股的冷凍乾燥科技。憑藉在寵物、嬰兒和糖果產品方面的經驗,他們在將小衆趨勢轉變爲日常消費品方面擁有良好的業績記錄。利用他們的專有科技,Sow Good旨在顛覆傳統類別,提供創新的高質量產品,強調長保質期和自然保存。除了產品創新,他們還致力於創造就業機會和積極的社區影響,使Sow Good成爲行業板塊中的前瞻性力量。
我們認爲糖果類別停滯不前,重複性強,需要振興,以重新吸引和激發消費對創新方式滿足甜食需求的興趣。我們看到市場機會存在於兩個類別的交集:快速發展的冷凍乾燥糖果和非巧克力糖果。根據NCA的數據,2022年非巧克力糖果市場的銷售增長了13.8%,超過了100億,根據Grand View Research的預測,預計從2023年到2030年的年均複合增長率爲5.8%。我們相信新興的冷凍乾燥糖果市場由於消費對新穎和獨特糖果產品的偏好日益增強,有望實現指數級增長。根據NCA的數據,大約61%的購物者偶爾或經常尋找他們從未購買過的產品。
我們的產品已在全國各地的零售商處推出,從便利店和雜貨商店到大型零售商,如five below、Target、Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods、TJX Canada、必樂透、Hy-Vee、Cracker Barrel、Circle K、7/11、HEB Kroger和Albertsons。此外,我們通過Redstone Foods、Cb Distributors和Nassau Distributors等分銷商賣出我們的大部分產品。我們相信,增加我們的貨架存在、SKU組合和與現有客戶的商店數量將有巨大的增長機會。對於這些客戶中的許多,我們最初僅推出了有限數量的SKU,但這些SKU的銷售業績紛紛超出最初的銷售預測。隨着我們擴大生產,我們將能夠增加產品的供應。
28
爲了滿足當前位置的客戶需求並擴大到更多商店,同時也豐富我們的SKU產品組合。加強我們的分銷和銷售團隊將是Sow Good的一個關鍵增長動力,讓我們的更多產品在消費者選擇購物的地方可用,無論是零售店、便利店還是直接在線上。爲了進一步支持與現有客戶的零售推出並增強我們的品牌知名度,我們還推出了具有獨特設計和產品亮點的產品展示,以提升我們在現有商店的可見度,並向新消費者介紹冷凍乾燥零食的優點。我們相信這一策略將吸引新消費者的關注,進一步教育和吸引現有消費者,最終提高我們的零售商的銷售額。
我們高度差異化的全渠道分銷策略有三個關鍵元件:零售商、電子商務和分銷商。總體而言,這種全渠道策略爲我們提供了多樣化的消費者和客戶合作伙伴,帶來了比僅在雜貨商店銷售的產品更大的可尋址市場機會,併爲我們在自己的網站上與客戶建立直接關係提供了機會, www.thisissowgood.com 以及我們的社交媒體頁面。
影響我們業績的關鍵因素
我們相信,業務的增長和未來的成功依賴於許多因素。雖然下面描述的因素和趨勢爲我們提供了重要機遇,但它們也帶來了我們必須成功應對的重要挑戰,以使我們能夠維持業務的增長並改善我們的運營結果。這些因素和趨勢在我們業務中導致了所呈現期間收入的波動,並預計將是我們在可預見的未來運營結果和流動性狀況的關鍵驅動因素。
具備與擁有更多資源和市場影響力的競爭對手競爭的能力
我們在一個充滿激烈競爭的行業板塊中運營,與擁有更大財力和其他資源的競爭對手相抗衡。我們注意到一些競爭對手利用其市場影響力和營銷支出,限制我們當前和未來客戶購買我們的產品或減少我們的貨架空間。我們能否保住現有客戶,或在其貨架上擴大我們的產品種類,繼續通過吸引新客戶擴大銷售,將取決於我們競爭對手利用其市場影響力和財力限制我們接觸消費者和與這些更大競爭對手競爭的能力。
在零售和傳統批發分銷渠道中擴大客戶基礎的能力
我們目前正在通過多種實體零售和傳統批發分銷渠道擴大客戶群。我們的產品已在全國各地的零售商中推出,從便利店和雜貨商店到大型零售商,如five below、Target、Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods、TJX Canada、必樂透、Hy-Vee、Cracker Barrel、Circle k、7/11、HEb、Kroger和Albertsons。此外,我們通過Redstone、Cb Distributors和Nassau Distributors等分銷商賣出大量產品。我們繼續增加貨架存在感、SKU組合和現有客戶的店鋪數量。此外,考慮到冷凍乾燥糖果領域仍處於起步階段以及潛在零售商和批發商客戶的數量,我們也相信在零售和批發渠道,國內外客戶獲取方面存在顯著的增長機會。這些渠道的客戶獲取依賴於我們的市場進入職能以及我們滿足需要大量產品的客戶需求的能力。
消費趨勢
我們在食品行業板塊的凍幹糖果和非巧克力糖果領域競爭。根據NCA的數據,非巧克力糖果市場在2022年的銷售額增長了13.8%,超過了100億,並且根據Grand View Research的預測,預計從2023年到2030年複合年增長率爲5.8%。我們相信,隨着消費者對新穎和獨特糖果產品偏好的增加,新興的凍幹糖果市場正準備迎來指數級增長。根據NCA的數據,大約61%的消費者偶爾或經常尋找他們從未購買過的產品。雖然我們相信我們的產品旨在爲尋找創新零食的消費者提供替代品,但我們也認爲,由於我們對開發適合廣泛消費者口味的產品線所採取的不妥協態度,我們的糖果產品具有廣泛的吸引力。我們相信,吸引尋求新穎、酥脆和高度風味體驗的強大且不斷增長的消費群體的能力將使我們能夠增加與零售客戶的分銷點,從而增加我們的收入,這將幫助我們擴大規模並提高我們產品銷售的毛利率。
29
在擴展的同時優化我們的流動性狀況的能力
我們的主要關注點是提高生產能力和客戶基礎,這需要大量的營運資金用於庫存和供應鏈管理、資本支出以增加冷凍乾燥機、在美國以外的擴展以及額外的銷售和市場營銷支出。我們有效管理流動性狀況的能力,同時增加生產能力和市場營銷努力,將影響我們的現金流和資本化,包括通過未來的股票發行或債務安排對額外營運資金的需求。
能夠擴大我們的產品線
我們的目標是隨着時間的推移大幅擴展我們的產品線,以增加增長機會並通過SKU多樣化減少產品特定風險,包括將多種產品進行冷凍乾燥處理,超越我們的冷凍乾燥零食。我們的增長速度將在一定程度上受新產品推出的頻率和規模的影響。我們相信任何新產品的商業化將要求我們在產品設計和商業化團隊內聘請更多員工,從而增加我們的營銷費用,以及我們行政費用內的研發成本。
通貨膨脹對業務的影響。
我們預計我們將使用的原材料的供應和價格將受到多種因素的影響,例如天氣、季節波動、需求、生產國的政治和經濟。這些因素使我們面臨產品供應的短缺或中斷,從而可能對我們的營業收入和利潤產生不利影響。此外,我們可能面臨一些糖果採購能力的限制,影響我們凍幹糖果產品的生產。
季節性
由於我們正處於增長的早期階段,難以準確判斷季節性對我們業務的需求影響。雖然由於我們的增長,目前難以評估任何需求季節性的證據,但我們預計某些節日週期,如萬聖節、聖誕節、復活節和情人節,會導致營業收入在特定年份內波動。此外,我們已意識到外部數據顯示,消費者在夏季的糖果購買行爲有減少的總體趨勢,原因包括在溫暖的天氣下,健康意識的提高。在運營方面,從七月到十月的最近熱浪給運輸我們的凍幹零食帶來了挑戰。這些條件導致運輸減少,庫存水平上升,營業收入下降。此外,有些通過外部分銷渠道運輸的糖果在極端夏季高溫中融化,影響了其保質表現。我們正積極努力從貨架上撤除受影響的產品並及時替換,以支持產品銷售恢復。在短期內,這些措施將影響我們的市場聲譽、銷售率和運營結果,因爲我們在應對這些意外挑戰。我們確實預計隨着氣溫的季節性降低,會恢復到正常的流通節奏,使我們的零食能夠無損運輸。因此,我們預計在夏季,零食的年度臨時發貨量會下降,這與更大糖果行業的趨勢一致。
我們目前沒有任何產品獲得銷售批准,也沒有產生任何營業收入。未來,我們可能會從我們與藥物候選品有關的合作伙伴或許可協議、以及任何獲得批准的產品的產品銷售中產生營業收入,而我們不希望在未來至少數年內(即便有可能)獲得批准。我們生成產品收入的能力將取決於成功開發和最終商業化AV-101以及我們可能追求的任何其他藥物候選品。如果我們未能及時完成AV-101的開發或獲得監管批准,我們未來營業收入和經營業績以及財務狀況將受到嚴重不利影響。
營收
我們通過銷售凍幹零食獲得收入。當訂單發貨給客戶時,公司確認收入。
營業成本
我們的營業成本主要包括設施費用、物料成本以及生產冷凍乾燥零食的勞動力。
營業費用
我們的營業費用包括一般和管理費用,其中包括工資和福利支出、專業服務支出和其他一般和管理費用、無形資產減值損失和商譽減值損失。
隨着我們業務的增長,我們預計一般和行政費用將會增加。
30
利息費用
利息支出主要包括未償債務的現金利息支出及在發行warrants時因債務產生的債務折扣的攤銷。
利息收入
利息收入主要來自短期美國國債的利息。
所得稅準備

2024年9月30日結束的三個月和2023年9月30日結束的三個月的比較
營收
截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,凍幹糖果的銷售額爲360萬元,而截至2023年9月30日的三個月銷售額爲500萬元,減少了150萬元,降幅爲(29%),主要是由於公司決定推遲大部分發貨給客戶,因爲該期間的極端高溫對糖果發貨的質量產生了負面影響。此外,營業收入還受到促銷活動和客戶優惠增加的影響。
營業成本
截至2024年9月30日的營業成本爲300萬美元,而2023年9月30日的三個月的營業成本爲370萬美元,降低了70.08萬美元,或(19%)。營業成本的減少主要與營業收入下降有關,部分抵消了與公司新設施相關的較高成本和較低的生產產量。
毛利潤
截至2024年9月30日的三個月,毛利潤爲55.6萬美元,相較於截至2023年9月30日的三個月毛利潤130萬美元,減少77.93萬美元,下降幅度爲58%。毛利潤的減少主要是由於收入降低了150萬美元,但部分被營業成本降低了70.08萬美元所抵消。
我們截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,毛利潤率爲16%,而2023年9月30日的三個月結束時爲27%。我們的毛利潤率主要由於銷售額中營業成本較高而下降。
營業費用
工資和福利
2024年9月30日結束的三個月,薪酬和福利爲190萬美元,而2023年9月30日結束的三個月爲61.89萬美元,增加了130萬美元,增幅爲203%。 薪酬和福利中包括2024年9月30日結束的三個月的股票補償費用爲120萬美元,而2023年9月30日結束的三個月爲11.15萬美元,增加了100萬美元。 股票補償費用包括公司員工和高管的期權費用。 薪酬和福利的增加主要是由於於2023年12月15日發放的績效股股份的攤銷。
專業服務
與2024年9月30日結束的三個月相比,與2023年9月30日結束的三個月相比,與專業服務相關的一般行政費用爲32.03萬美元,而去年同期爲29.47萬美元,增加了2.56萬美元,增幅爲9%。這一增長主要是因爲隨着公司業務規模的擴大以及在系統和流程改進方面的投資,專業服務費用增加了。
其他一般及管理費用
截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,其他一般管理費用爲160萬美元,而截至2023年9月30日的三個月內爲7.47萬美元,增加了150萬美元,增幅爲2052%。與去年同期相比,其他一般管理費用的增加主要是由於公司新廠房相關的非分配庫存的設施成本增加了74.16萬美元,因客戶破產而導致的壞賬費用增加了32.54萬美元,與去年同期的壞賬回收相比,以及市場營銷和廣告成本增加了26.52萬美元。
折舊
截至2024年和2023年9月30日的三個月內,物業和設備的折舊分別爲21.62萬元和15.07萬元,其中分配給營業成本的折舊分別爲20.76萬元和14.14萬元,導致的淨折舊費用分別爲0.86萬元和0.93萬元。
其他收益(費用)
截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,其他費用主要包括來自應付票據的利息費用以及作爲債務折扣發行的warrants的攤銷,金額爲22.51萬。在截至2023年9月30日的期間內,應付票據的利息費用爲淨信用0.36萬,因在截至2023年9月30日的三個月期間對攤銷利息進行了調整。
32
Net Income (Loss)
截至2024年9月30日的三個月的稅前淨虧損爲340萬元,相比之下,截至2023年9月30日的三個月稅前淨利潤爲33.4萬元,收益下降了380萬元,降幅爲1,131%。從稅前淨利潤轉變爲稅前淨虧損的主要原因是毛利潤下降了77.93萬元,降幅爲58%,以及營業費用增加了280萬元,增幅爲282%。
所得稅準備
公司對我們的淨遞延稅款資產保持完整的評估準備,主要是由於我們的歷史淨損失。截至2024年和2023年9月30日結束的月份,公司分別確認了稅額爲6.23萬美元的聯邦所得稅收益和0美元的提備。
2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日結束的九個月營運結果。

收入
截至2024年9月30日的九個月,冷凍糖果的銷售額爲3060萬美元,而2023年9月30日的九個月爲650萬美元,增長2410萬美元,增幅爲367%。收入在比較期間由於轉向冷凍糖果、新冷凍設備的安裝增加產能以及新增零售客戶而增加。
營業成本
截至2024年9月30日的九個月營業成本爲1640萬,同比增長670萬,增加970萬,增長146%。在當前期間,我們的毛利潤率爲46%,而在對比期間則爲(2)%。
管理費用
工資和福利
截至2024年9月30日的九個月工資及福利爲640萬美元,而截至2023年9月30日的九個月爲150萬美元,增加了490萬美元,即338%。工資和福利包括股票薪酬。
33
2024年9月30日及2023年的九個月支出爲330萬美元,而 2023年9月30日結束的九個月爲30.74萬美元,增加了300萬美元,增長了939%,主要是由於於2023年12月15日授予的績效股份的攤銷。其他方面,薪金和福利的增加包括85萬美元的現金獎金以及比較期間373.9萬美元的工資和薪金稅的增加,這是由於銷售增長所致。
專業服務
專業服務在2024年9月30日結束的九個月中達到140萬美元,而在2023年9月30日結束的九個月中爲40.43萬美元,增長了97.81萬美元,增幅爲242%。主要增長是由於與我們的承銷公開發行和納斯達克上市有關的法律費用增加了89.6萬美元,以及與公司增長相關的26.3萬美元,部分抵消了其他專業服務成本減少的18萬美元。
其他一般及行政開支
截至2024年9月30日的九個月其他一般和行政費用爲390萬美元,而截至2023年9月30日的九個月費用爲100萬美元,增加了290萬美元,增長了304%。這一增長主要歸因於因公司增長而導致的設施和營銷成本增加。
折舊
固定資產折舊分別爲58.29萬和30.61萬,其中分別分配給營業成本的是55.99萬和21.15萬,導致截至2024年9月30日和2023年的九個月淨折舊費用分別爲2.31萬和9.46萬。
其他費用
截至2024年9月30日的九個月內,其他費用爲190萬元,包括120萬元的應付票據利息費用和69.65萬元的債務提前償還損失。在截至2023年9月30日的比較九個月內,其他費用爲130萬元,包括應付票據的利息費用。由於在截至2024年9月30日的九個月內全額和部分償還應付票據,利息費用減少了10萬元,即(8%),這導致了債務提前償還損失,並減少了利息計算的本金。
淨利潤(虧損)
2024年9月30日結束的前九個月的稅前淨利潤爲66.14萬美元,相比於2023年9月30日結束的前九個月的440萬美元的稅前淨虧損,出現了500萬美元的正向變化。淨利潤的增加主要是由於收入增加以及毛利率提高。
所得稅準備
公司對我們淨遞延稅資產保持了全面的估值備抵,主要是由於我們歷史上的淨虧損狀態。截止2024年和2023年9月30日的各九個月期間,公司分別確認了聯邦所得稅 $195,603 和 $0。

截至2024年9月30日,我們的營運資本爲1970萬美元,較2023年12月31日的450萬美元有所增加。增加的營運資本主要歸因於現金增加450萬美元,應收賬款增加130萬美元,存貨增加1530萬美元,部分抵消了我們租賃負債流動部分增加160萬美元以及應計費用增加120萬美元。截至2024年9月30日,我們的現金及現金等價物餘額爲690萬美元,較2023年12月31日的240萬美元有所增加。我們預計將繼續發生與我們的冷凍糖果業務的發展和運營相關的重大資本支出。我們擴大生產和分銷能力以及進一步提高品牌價值的能力在很大程度上依賴於我們在撥付額外資本方面的成功。爲滿足未來十二個月的現金需求,我們計劃通過手頭現金和根據需要以股權或債務形式的額外融資。

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The Company is a party to a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility at 1440 N. Union Bower Rd., Irving, TX 75061, under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two

five-year options to extend, at a monthly lease term of $10.0 thousand, with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
On May 22, 2024, the Company entered into an industrial lease (the “Lease”) with USCIF Pinnacle Building B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Company will lease approximately 324,000 rentable square feet from the Lessor at 4024 Rock Quarry Road, Dallas, Texas for a term of approximately 62 months, which the Company intends to use as industrial and manufacturing space. The term of the Lease commenced on May 22, 2024.

The Lease may be renewed upon the extension in writing between the Company and the Lessor for a period of up to 60 months.
On January 19, 2024, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease Agreement”) with Papsa Merx S. de R.S. de C.V., a corporation registered in Mexico City, Mexico (the “Sublessor”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.
Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Commodity Price Risk
We do not expect any significant effects from commodity price risk outside of inherent inflationary risks.
37
Interest Rate Risk
We are not a party to agreements that subject us to floating rates of interest and do not anticipate entering into any transactions that would expose us to any direct interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
We did not hold a material amount of cash in foreign jurisdictions as of September 30, 2024. However, we anticipate that as our foreign operations grow, we may hold more cash in foreign jurisdictions, particularly Mexico, Colombia and China, and possibly expose ourselves to greater currency fluctuation risk than we currently experience.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on their evaluations as of September 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer, Claudia Goldfarb, and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Brendon Fischer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives and to ensure the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various types of legal proceedings. We do not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Summary Risk Factors
The risk factors described below are a summary of the principal risk factors associated with an investment in the Company. These are not the only risks we face. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other reports and documents filed by us with the SEC.
39
Risks Related to Our Operating History, Financial Position and Capital Needs
We have a limited operating history in our current form and have incurred significant operating losses. As a result of continuing investments to expand our business, we may not achieve or sustain profitability.
Sow Good was formed and commenced commercial sales of our products in 2021, and in 2023 we started producing and commercializing our freeze dried candy treats, including our Sow Good freeze dried candy line and our Crunch Cream line. On October 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of S-FDF, LLC (the “Seller”), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller, dated June 9, 2020, as subsequently amended effective October 1, 2020 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The assets we purchased under the Asset Purchase Agreement were of a development stage business without any major customers or history of operations upon which to forecast future business trends. As a result, we have a limited operating history and limited experience manufacturing and selling our products, establishing relationships with consumers, customers, suppliers, vendors and distributors and building our brand reputation. These and other factors combine to make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast our future operating results, which in turn makes it more difficult for us to prepare accurate budgets and implement strategic plans. We expect that this uncertainty will continue to exist in our business for the foreseeable future. If we do not address these risks and uncertainties successfully, our operating results could differ materially from our estimates and forecasts, and from the expectations of investors or analysts, which could harm our business and result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock.
As a developing company, we will need to adopt and implement a plan to increase awareness of our products, secure distribution channels, and foster and strengthen our supply, manufacturing and distribution relationships. It is likely our strategic priorities will need to evolve over time and our business would be materially and adversely affected if we do not properly adapt our
40
strategies to our changing needs and changes in the market. As our operations develop and grow, we expect to experience significant increases in our working capital requirements. Even if we obtain additional capital and achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability and our failure to do so would adversely affect the Company’s business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
In the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred net losses of approximately $3.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred net losses of approximately $3.4 million, as compared to a net income of $334.0 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2023. We anticipate our operating expenses and capital expenditures will increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to expand our retail distribution, invest in our approach to build brand awareness, leverage our product development capabilities, and invest in production capacity and automation. As a result of our continuing investments to expand our business in these and other areas, we expect our expenses to increase, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the foreseeable future. Even if we are successful in broadening our consumer base, and increasing revenues from new and existing customers, we may not be able to generate additional revenues in amounts that are sufficient to cover our expenses. We may incur significant losses for a number of reasons, including as a result of the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this filing. We cannot assure you that we will continue to achieve profitability in the future or that we will sustain profitability over any particular period of time.
We may need additional funding in order to fund our existing commercial operations, commercialize new products and grow our business.
To date, we have financed our operations through public offerings and private placements of our equity, equity-linked and debt securities. We have devoted substantially all our financial resources and efforts to developing our products, workforce, and manufacturing capabilities. Our long-term growth and success are dependent upon our ability ultimately to expand our manufacturing capacity and generate cash from operating activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or access the capital we need to grow our business. Our inability to obtain additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan as described herein and grow our business, to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.
If our available cash balances, net proceeds from anticipated offerings/or anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements because of lower demand for our products or due to other risks described herein, we may seek to sell common stock or other securities, enter into an additional credit facility or seek another form of third-party funding, including debt financing. The amount of additional capital we may require, the timing of our capital needs and the availability of financing to fund those needs will depend on a number of factors, including our strategic initiatives and operating plans, the performance of our business and the market conditions for debt or equity financing. Although we believe various debt and equity financing alternatives will be available to us to support our working capital needs, financing arrangements on acceptable terms may not be available to us when needed. Additionally, these alternatives may require significant cash payments for interest and other costs or could be highly dilutive to our existing stockholders. Any such financing alternatives may not provide us with sufficient funds to meet our long-term capital requirements.
We may consider raising additional capital in the future to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons, including to:
Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
41
The various ways we could raise additional capital carry potential risks. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our stockholders could result. Any equity securities issued also could provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of shares of our common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, those debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of shares of our common stock. The terms of any debt securities issued or borrowings made pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
Our rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and our limited operating history may make it difficult to assess our future viability.
Our revenues grew from approximately $88.4 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021 to approximately $428.1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $30.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively. We expect that, in the future, as our revenue increases to higher levels, our revenue growth rate will decline. We also believe that growth of our revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to:
We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives. In addition, we may face increased competition from current or new competitors that may reduce our market share and thereby limit our growth. Since the initial commercialization of our freeze dried candy treats in March 2023, we have not yet demonstrated the ability to sustain rapid growth over a long period of time or achieve profitability at scale. Consequently, any predictions you make about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer operating history or had previously achieved profitability.
We may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.
Our strategy envisions the expansion of our business. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Our rapid growth has placed and may continue to place significant demands on our organizational, administrative and operational infrastructure, including manufacturing operations, quality control, shipping, technical support and customer service, sales force management and general and financial administration. We must continue to refine and expand our
42
business capabilities, including in sales, marketing, product development, information technology, equipment, facilities and personnel, as well as our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We will also need to improve our operational, financial and management controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.
We cannot assure that we will be able to:
If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations. Managing our planned growth effectively will require us to:
The expansion of our products and customer base may result in increases in our overhead and selling expenses. Any increase in expenditures in anticipation of future sales that do not materialize would adversely affect our profitability. In addition, if we are unable to effectively manage the growth of our business, the quality of our products may suffer and we may be unable to address competitive challenges, which would adversely affect our overall business, operations and financial condition.
We have previously identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting for our financial year ended December 31, 2022. If we experience additional material weaknesses in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations and investors may lose confidence in our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on this assessment, management believed that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on those criteria. As a small company with limited resources that is mainly focused on the development and sales of our freeze dried treats, the Company did not employ a sufficient number of staff in its finance department to possess an optimal segregation of duties or to provide optimal levels of oversight. This resulted in certain audit adjustments and management believed that there may be a possibility for a material misstatement to occur in future periods while it employed the current number of personnel in its finance department.
To address and fully remediate this material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Additionally, our remediation efforts for this material weakness included the hiring of additional staff members in our accounting and finance departments in 2023. As of December 31, 2023, management considered this material weakness fully remediated.
As a public company, we are required to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including, among other things, maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We continue to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in
43
the reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers.
We must continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Once we are no longer considered to be a smaller reporting company, our management will then be required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(a), and we may in the future be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with these requirements within the prescribed time period, we will be engaging in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. There is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed time period or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We cannot assure you that there are not, and will not be material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or operating results. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain these and other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
The retail food and non-chocolate confectionary and freeze dried candy segments are highly competitive. If new entrants with greater resources continue to take market share, or our competitors are more successful or offer better value to consumers, our business could decline.
We operate in a very competitive environment that is characterized by competition from a number of other retailers in the market in which we operate. We compete with large national and regional food retail companies, some of which have greater financial and operational resources than us, and with smaller local retailers, some of which may have lower administrative costs than us. We have become aware of certain significantly larger competitors using their market clout and marketing spend to limit our current and future customers from purchasing our products or reducing our shelf space. Our ability to keep our current customers, or grow our SKU portfolio on their shelves, and continue to expand our sales with new customers will depend on our competitors’ ability to leverage their market clout and financial resources to limit our access to consumers and our ability to compete with these larger competitors. In addition, we may be at a competitive disadvantage relative to large national and regional competitors whose operations are more geographically diversified than ours. Any changes in our competitors’ merchandising and operational strategies could negatively affect our sales and profitability. In particular, if competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices, we would likely be forced to reduce our prices on similar product offerings in order to remain competitive, which may result in a decrease in our market share, revenues and profitability and may require a change in our operating strategies.
Increased competition could hurt our business. The freeze dried candy is fragmented and in its early stages of development, but it is becoming increasingly competitive. New competitors may enter the freeze dried candy market on which we are focused. The competitors may offer an equivalent or superior product to that of the Company. We expect the number of companies offering products and services in our market segment to continue to increase.
If we are unable to compete effectively in our markets, our business could decline disproportionately to our competitors, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully in any of our markets. Our inability to continue to compete successfully in any of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
Failure to maintain sufficient internal production capacity, source appropriate external production capacity, or to enter into third-party agreements on terms that are beneficial for us may result in our inability to meet customer demand and/or may increase our operating costs and capital expenditures.
44
We intend to rely on internal production capacity and third-party co-manufacturers to fulfill our growing production needs and meet demand for our treats. We have plans to continue to expand our own production facilities, including the production of our own candy for freeze drying, but in the short-term may need to increase our reliance on third parties to provide production and supply certain services for a number of our products. A failure by us or our co-manufacturers to comply with food safety, environmental, or other laws and regulations, or to produce products of the quality and taste-profile we expect, or with efficiency and at costs we expect, may also disrupt our supply of products. In addition, we may experience increased distribution and warehousing costs due to capacity constraints resulting from our growth and the need for refrigerated shipping solutions. If we need to enter into additional co-manufacturing or distribution agreements in the future, we can provide no assurance that we would be able to find acceptable third-party providers or enter into agreements on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, we will likely need to expand our internal capacity, which could increase our operating costs and could require significant capital expenditures. If we cannot maintain sufficient and satisfactory production, warehousing and distribution capacity, either internally or through third party agreements, we may be unable to meet customer demand and/or our manufacturing, distribution and warehousing costs may increase, which could negatively affect our business.
Loss of one or more of our co-manufacturers or our failure to timely identify and establish relationships with new co-manufacturers could harm our business and impede our growth.
We have historically relied, and will likely in the future, rely on international co-manufacturers to provide us with a portion of our production capacity. The terms of these co-manufacturing agreements vary, and some of these arrangements are short-term or based on purchase orders. Volumes produced under each of these agreements can fluctuate significantly based upon the product’s life cycle, product promotions, alternative production capacity, and other factors, none of which are under our direct control. Any of the co-manufacturers with whom we do not have a written contract could seek to alter or terminate its relationship with us at any time, leaving us with periods during which we have limited or no ability to manufacture our products. If we need to replace a co-manufacturer, there can be no assurance that additional capacity will be available when required on acceptable terms, or at all.
An interruption in, or the loss of operations at, one or more of our co-manufacturing facilities, which may be caused by work stoppages, labor shortages, strikes or other labor unrest, production disruptions, product quality issues, local economic and political conditions, restrictive governmental actions, border closures, disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as COVID-19), the outbreak of hostilities, acts of war, terrorism, fire, earthquakes, severe weather, flooding or other natural disasters at one or more of these facilities, could delay, postpone or reduce production of some of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition until such time as such interruption is resolved or an alternate source of production is secured.
We believe there are a limited number of competent, high-quality co-manufacturers in the industry that meet our strict quality and control standards, and as we seek to continue to obtain additional or alternative co-manufacturing arrangements in the future, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so on satisfactory terms, in a timely manner, or at all. Additionally, as we expand our operations internationally, we will need to further develop relationships with co-manufacturers overseas to meet sales demand, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully do so. Therefore, the loss of one or more co-manufacturers, any disruption or delay at a co-manufacturer or any failure to identify and engage co-manufacturers for new products, product extensions and expanded operations could delay, postpone or reduce production of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on a small number of suppliers to provide our raw materials for certain of our treats, and our supply chain may be interrupted and prevent us from obtaining the necessary materials we need to operate.
We rely on suppliers and vendors to meet our high-quality standards and supply products in a timely and efficient manner. There is, however, no assurance that quality ingredients will continue to be available to meet our specific and growing needs. This may be due to, among other reasons, problems with our suppliers’ and vendors’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to export or import materials, product quality issues, costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as disease outbreaks or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, flooding or other catastrophic occurrences. If for any reason our suppliers or vendors became unable or unwilling to continue to provide services to us, this would likely lead to an interruption in our ability to import our products until we found another source that could provide these services. Failure to find a suitable replacement, even on a temporary basis, would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our current production targets, make it difficult to grow and would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, three key suppliers, Redstone Foods, Albanese and Jiangsu Shengifan Foodstuff accounted for approximately 61% of our total raw material and packaging purchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our top three suppliers accounted for 76% and 69%, respectively, of our purchases from vendors. Additionally, we do not have any contractual obligations for the continued supply of raw material and packaging from these key suppliers. As a result
45
of this concentration in our supply chain, our business and operations would be negatively affected if any of our key suppliers were to experience significant disruption affecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products. While we have not had supply chain disruptions to date, and believe that we can quickly find additional sources for our raw material and packaging, in the event that our supply from our current suppliers is interrupted, our operations may be interrupted in the interim resulting in lost revenue, added costs such as, without limitation, shipping costs, and distribution delays that could harm our business and customer relationships until we are able to identify one or more alternative suppliers.
The challenges of competing with other non-chocolate confectionary businesses may result in reductions in our revenue and operating margins.
The retail food industry is very competitive, and particularly so in the non-chocolate confectionary segment. We compete with many companies on the basis of taste, quality and price of product offered, and customer service. Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our products and our ability to develop new items that appeal to a broad range of consumers. Shifts in consumer preferences away from products like ours, our inability to develop new items that appeal to a broad range of consumers, or changes in our offerings that eliminate products popular with some consumers could harm our business. In addition, aggressive pricing by our competitors or the entrance of new competitors into our markets could reduce our revenue and operating margins by forcing us to reduce our prices on similar product offerings in order to remain competitive. We have become aware of at least one large multinational competitors using its market clout and marketing spend to limit our current and future customers from purchasing our products or reducing our shelf space. We also compete with other employers in our markets for workers and may become subject to higher labor costs as a result of such competition. Recently there has been a significant increase in labor costs.
We have been able to compete successfully by differentiating ourselves from our competitors by providing an expanding selection of freeze dried treats, competitive pricing and convenience. If changes in consumer preferences decrease the competitive advantage attributable to these factors, or if we fail to otherwise positively differentiate our product offering or customer experience from our competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our current competitors have, and potential competitors may have, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger fulfillment infrastructures, greater technical capabilities, significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources and larger customer bases than we do. These factors allow our competitors to derive greater revenues and profits from their existing customer bases, push us off of shelves as a result of exclusivity arrangements or threats related to marketing spend reductions, acquire customers at lower costs or respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in consumer preferences or habits. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies (including but not limited to predatory pricing policies and the provision of substantial discounts), which may allow them to build larger customer bases, limit our customer base, or generate revenues from those customer bases more effectively than we are able to execute upon. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these competitors.
We expect competition in the non-chocolate confectionary and freeze dried candy segments generally to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete successfully in this market depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:
46
Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national, and regional economies generally and the food and beverage industry, we may not be able to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, among other things, changes in consumer preferences, laws and regulations, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, liquidity, cash flow and our operational performance.
If we fail to compete successfully in this market, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
Consumer preferences for our products, or for freeze dried candy generally could change rapidly, and, if we are unable to respond quickly to new trends, our business may be adversely affected.
Our business is currently focused on the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of freeze dried treats. Consumer preferences, and therefore demand for our products, could change rapidly as a result of a number of factors, including consumer demand for specific nutritional content, dietary habits, or restrictions, including perceptions regarding food quality, concerns regarding the health effects of certain ingredients or macronutrient ratios, shifts in preferences for product attributes, laws and regulations governing product claims, brand reputation and loyalty, and product pricing. Further, freeze dried candy as a market entrant is in its nascent stage and may not see wide-spread acceptance. A significant shift in consumer demand away from our products, or towards competitive products, could limit our product sales, reduce our market share, and negatively impact our brand reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
As is typical in a rapidly evolving industry, the development process and demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our products is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any, and costs of manufacturing as a product is developed. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in developing new or existing products or manufacturing new products, that our products will perform as expected, or that a market for our products will develop or that demand for our products will be sustainable. If we fail to develop or manufacture new products, or the market for new products fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
If we fail to grow the value and enhance the visibility of our brand, our business could suffer.
While we believe we have a strong brand reputation, a key component of our growth strategy involves growing the value and enhancing the visibility of our “Sow Good” brand. Our ability to maintain, position and enhance our brand will depend on a number of factors, including the market acceptance of our current and future product offerings, the nutritional content of our products, food quality and safety, quality assurance, our advertising and marketing efforts, and our ability to build relationships with customers and consumers. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, could materially adversely affect our business. Brand value is often based on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incident that erodes the loyalty of our customers, suppliers, or consumers, could significantly reduce the value of our brand and harm our business.
Any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results.
Maintaining a good reputation is critical to our business. Our reputation or brand image could be adversely impacted by, among other things, issues with the quality of our products, any failure to maintain high ethical, social and environmental sustainability practices for our operations, the views of management and other stakeholders, our impact on the environment, public pressure from investors or policy groups to change our policies, consumer perceptions of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements or marketing programs, including opportunities we choose to forego due to management philosophy, consumer perceptions of our use of social media, or consumer perceptions of statements made by us, our employees and executives, agents or other third-parties. Operationally, recent heat waves from July through October in the third quarter of 2024 have presented challenges in transporting our freeze-dried treats. These conditions led to reduced shipments, higher inventory levels, and a decline in revenue. Additionally, some candy transported via external distribution channels during the extreme summer heat melted, impacting its shelf performance. We are actively working to remove affected products from shelves and replace them promptly to support recovery in product velocity. In the short term, these measures will impact our market reputation, sell-through rates, and operational results as we address these unforeseen challenges.
In addition, negative publicity, including as a result of the social or political views of our management, employees, customers or vendors, or misconduct by our consumers, customers, vendors or employees, can also spread rapidly through social media. Should we not respond in a timely and appropriate manner to address negative publicity, our brand and reputation may be significantly
47
harmed. Damage to our reputation or brand image or loss of consumer confidence in our services could adversely affect our business and financial results as well as require additional resources to rebuild or repair our reputation.
Fluctuations in various food and supply, transportation and shipping costs could adversely affect our operating results.
Supplies and prices of the ingredients that we are going to use to may be affected by a variety of factors, such as weather conditions (including the effects of climate change), natural disasters, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the production areas. These factors subject us to shortages or interruptions in product supplies, which could adversely affect our revenue and profits.
We rely on our suppliers to meet our quality standards and to supply ingredients and other products in a timely and safe manner, and in accordance with our product specifications. We have developed and implemented a series of measures to ensure the safety and quality of our third-party supplied products, including using contract specifications, certificates of analysis for some products or ingredients, sample testing by suppliers, and sensory based testing. However, no safety and quality measures can eliminate the possibility that suppliers may provide us with products that are inconsistent with our specifications, below our quality standards, improperly labeled, or unsafe for consumption. If this was to occur, in addition to the risks associated with negative customer and consumer experiences, we could face the possible seizure or recall of our products, or the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions, any of which could have an adverse impact on our business.
In addition, the price of candy, which is currently our main ingredient in our products, can be volatile. The candy of the quality we seek tends to trade on a negotiated basis, depending on supply and demand at the time of the purchase. Further, we intend to begin production of our own candy as feedstock in the near term. An increase in pricing of any candy or candy production ingredients that we are going to use in our products could have a significant adverse effect on our profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure our candy or candy ingredient supplies.
In addition, our costs are affected by general inflationary pressures related to transportation and shipping costs, particularly to the extent we have additional retail sales and smaller order quantities. As we move toward more refrigerated shipping solutions to mitigate the impact of extreme heat on our product quality, we will incur additional shipping expense. Such inflationary pressures could be passed on to the customer and could cause the price of our products to increase, which may impact the attractiveness of our freeze dried treats relative to other candy or snack options with cost sensitive consumers. We are also subject to a reduction in our profitability due to increased labor costs for our employees. As we look to expand our distribution and market, we may not be able to increase our sales prices to absorb these costs. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to maintain profitability consistent with our goals. As we plan for the acquisition of additional freeze driers, we also anticipate that the costs for this equipment will be more than as well as the lead time to receive the equipment once ordered will be longer than we have planned. This could increase our capital needs and also delay our ability to ramp up production in a timely manner to correspond to demand.
In addition, we purchase and use significant quantities of cardboard, film, and plastic to package our products. The costs of these products may also fluctuate based on a number of factors beyond our control, including changes in the competitive environment, availability of substitute materials, and macroeconomic conditions. If we are not successful in managing our raw material and packaging costs, if we are unable to increase our prices to fully or partially offset the increased costs, or if such price increases reduce our sales volumes, then such cost increases will adversely affect our operating results.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology adequately, which may impact our commercial success.
We believe that our intellectual property and proprietary technology has substantial value and has contributed significantly to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, and trademarks laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions, to protect our intellectual property. However, these legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our intellectual property or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage.
Our trademarks, including our Sow Good logo, are valuable assets that reinforce our brand and consumers’ favorable perception of our products. We also rely on unpatented proprietary expertise, recipes and formulations, and other trade secrets and copyright protection to develop and maintain our competitive position. Our continued success depends in part upon our ability to protect and preserve our intellectual property.
Our confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, independent contractors and suppliers generally require that all information made known to them be kept strictly confidential. Nevertheless, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Our confidentiality agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our proprietary information and may not provide an adequate
48
remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of such information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets, in which case we would not be able to assert trade secret rights against such parties. Further, some of our manufacturing know-how and process has been implemented by or with our co-manufacturers. As a result, we may not be able to prevent others from using similar processes, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, we have not historically obtained confidentiality agreements or invention assignment agreements from all employees and consultants, which could impact our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology.
We cannot assure you that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights are adequate, that our intellectual property rights can be successfully defended and asserted in the future, or that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate any such rights. In addition, our trademark rights and related registrations may be challenged in the future and could be canceled or narrowed. Failure to protect our trademark rights could prevent us in the future from challenging third parties who use names and logos similar to our trademarks, which may in turn cause consumer confusion or negatively affect customers’ or consumers’ perception of our brand and products. In addition, if we do not keep our trade secrets confidential, others may produce products with our recipes or formulations. Moreover, intellectual property disputes and proceedings and infringement claims may result in a significant distraction for management and significant expense, which may not be recoverable regardless of whether we are successful. Such proceedings may be protracted with no certainty of success, and an adverse outcome could subject us to liability, force us to cease use of certain trademarks or other intellectual property, or force us to enter into licenses with others.
Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights.
Our commercial success depends on our ability to develop and commercialize our products without infringing the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. However, from time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business with respect to intellectual property. Intellectual property disputes can be costly to defend and may cause our business, operating results, and financial condition to suffer. Whether merited or not, we may face allegations that we or parties indemnified by us have infringed or otherwise violated the patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Such claims may be made by competitors seeking to obtain a competitive advantage or by other parties.
It may also be necessary for us to initiate litigation to defend ourselves in order to determine the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party intellectual property or proprietary rights, or to establish our respective rights. Regardless of whether claims that we are infringing patents or other intellectual property rights have merit, such claims can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and financial resources, and can be costly to evaluate and defend. Results of any such litigation are difficult to predict and may require us to stop commercializing or using our products, obtain licenses, modify our products while we develop non-infringing substitutes, or incur substantial damages, settlement costs, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or providing the affected products. If we require a third-party license, it may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, and we may have to pay substantial royalties, upfront fees, or grant cross-licenses to intellectual property rights for our products and solutions. We may also have to redesign our products so they do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, which may not be possible or may require substantial monetary expenditures and time, during which our products may not be available for commercialization or use. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not obtain a third-party license to the infringed intellectual property, license the intellectual property on reasonable terms, or obtain similar intellectual property from another source, our revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted.
Further, some third parties may be able to sustain the costs of complex litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. And even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Moreover, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations. Assertions by third parties that we violate their intellectual property rights could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Food safety concerns and concerns about the health risk of our products may have an adverse effect on our business.
Food safety is a top priority for us, and we dedicate substantial resources to ensure that our customers enjoy safe and high-quality treats. However, foodborne illnesses and other food safety issues have occurred in the retail food industry in the past and could occur in the future. Also, our reliance on third-party food suppliers, distributors and food delivery aggregators increases the risk that foodborne illness incidents could be caused by factors outside of our control. A failure or perceived failure to meet our quality or safety standards, including product adulteration, contamination, or tampering, or allegations of mislabeling, whether actual or
49
perceived, could occur in our operations or those of our co-manufacturers, distributors or suppliers. This could result in time consuming and expensive production interruptions, negative publicity, the destruction of product inventory, the discontinuation of sales or our relationships with such co-manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers, lost sales due to the unavailability of product for a period of time and higher-than-anticipated rates of returns of goods. The occurrence of health-related illnesses or other incidents related to the consumption of our products, including allergies, excessive consumption or death to a consumer, could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs, disruptions in supply and a reduction in our sales.
Noncompliance with applicable food product quality and safety regulations can limit our ability to access certain markets or result in enforcement action by applicable regulatory agencies, including product recalls, market withdrawals, product seizures, warning letters, injunctions, or criminal or civil liability. Such incidents could also expose us to product liability, negligence or other lawsuits, including consumer class action lawsuits. Any claims brought against us may exceed or be outside the scope of our existing or future insurance policy coverage or limits. Any judgment against us that is more than our policy limits or not covered by our policies or not subject to insurance would have to be paid by us, which would affect our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, negative publicity also could be generated from false, unfounded or nominal liability claims or limited recalls. The occurrence of foodborne illnesses or food safety issues could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, which could result in disruptions in our supply chain, significantly increase costs and/or lower margins for us.
In addition, there is increasing consumer awareness of, and increased media coverage on, the alleged adverse health impacts of consumption of various food products globally. Our products contain fats, sugar and other compounds and allergens, the health effects of which are the subject of public scrutiny, including the suggestion that excessive consumption of sugar and other compounds can lead to a variety of adverse health effects. An unfavorable report on the health effects of certain compounds present in our products, or negative publicity or litigation arising from other health risks such as obesity, could significantly reduce the demand for our products. Additionally, there may be new laws and regulations that could impact the ingredients and nutritional content of our product offerings, or laws and regulations requiring us to disclose the nutritional content of our product offerings or otherwise restrict sales of our treats. A decrease in consumer traffic as a result of these health concerns, laws or regulations or negative publicity could materially and adversely affect our business.
Product liability exposure may subject us to significant liability.
We may face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and other claims and lawsuits in the event that the development or use of our products is alleged to have resulted in adverse effects. The sale of products for human use and consumption involves the risk of injury or illness to consumers. Such injuries may result from inadvertent mislabeling, tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination or spoilage. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to recall or withdraw products, suspend production of our products, or cease operations, which may lead to a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, customers may stop placing or cancel orders for such products as a result of such events.
Even if a situation does not necessitate a recall or market withdrawal, product liability claims might be asserted against us. While we are subject to governmental inspection and regulations and believe our facilities and those of our co-manufacturers and suppliers comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations, if the consumption of any of our products causes, or is alleged to have caused, a health-related illness or death to a consumer, we may become subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness or physical harm could cause consumers to lose confidence in the safety and quality of our products. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this type might not be covered by our insurance or by any rights of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others. Although we maintain product liability and product recall insurance in an amount that we believe to be consistent with market practice, we cannot be sure that we will not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage. A product liability judgment against us or a product recall could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
We have no control over our products once purchased by consumers. Accordingly, consumers may store or prepare our products in a manner that is inconsistent with our directions or store our products for longer than approved periods of time, which may adversely affect the quality and safety of our products.
Although we believe our insurance coverage to be adequate and consistent with industry practice, we may not have sufficient insurance coverage, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost. An inability to obtain product liability insurance at acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our products. Further, any claim under our insurance policies may be subject to certain exceptions, may not be honored fully, in a timely manner, or at all, and we may not have purchased sufficient insurance to cover all losses incurred. If we were to incur substantial liabilities or if our business operations were interrupted for a substantial period, we could incur costs and
50
suffer losses. Inventory, equipment, and business interruption losses may not be covered by our insurance policies. Additionally, insurance coverage may not be available to us at commercially acceptable premiums in the future, or at all.
Overall, we may not be able to avoid significant product liability exposure. A product liability claim could hurt our financial performance. Even if we ultimately avoid financial liability for this type of exposure, we may incur significant costs in defending ourselves that could hurt our financial performance and condition.
Our ability to maintain and expand our distribution network and attract consumers, customers, distributors, retailers and brokers will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside our control.
We sell a substantial portion of our products through retailers such as Five Below, Target, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Big Lots, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, and Circle K, and distributors such as Redstone Foods, CB Distributors and Alpine Foods, and online through our website. The largest four purchasers of our products for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 accounted for approximately 72.7% of our revenues for that period.
The loss of, or business disruption at, one or more of these retailers or distributors or a negative change in our relationship with one of our key retailers or a disruption to any one of our sales channels could have a material adverse effect on our business. We have become aware of certain larger competitors using their market clout and marketing spend to limit certain of our key retailers from purchasing our products or reducing our shelf space. If we do not effectively compete with this larger competitors, maintain our relationship with existing retailers and distributors or develop relationships with new retailers and distributors, the growth of our business may be adversely affected, and our business may be harmed.
In addition, we may not be able to successfully manage all or any of the following 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.
Further, if we are required to obtain additional or alternative distribution agreements or arrangements with our distributors or retailers in the future, we cannot be certain that we will be able to do so on satisfactory terms or in a timely manner. Our inability to enter into satisfactory distribution agreements may inhibit our ability to implement our business plan or to establish markets necessary to expand the distribution of our products successfully.
Our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us.
Most of our customers are retailers or distributors that buy from us under purchase orders, and we generally do not have long-term agreements with or commitments from these customers for the purchase of products. We cannot provide assurance that our customers will maintain or increase their sales volumes or orders for the products supplied by us or that we will be able to maintain or add to our existing customer base. Decreases in our customers’ sales volumes or orders for products supplied by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
If we face labor shortages or increased labor costs, our results of operations and our growth could be adversely affected.
Labor is a significant component of the cost of operating our business. Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling labor costs is subject to external factors, such as employment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation, union activities, changing demographics, health and other insurance costs and governmental labor and employment requirements. In the event of increasing wage rates, if we fail to increase our wages competitively, the quality of our workforce could decline, while increasing our wages could cause our earnings to decrease. If we face labor shortages or increased labor costs because of increased competition for employees from our competitors and other industries, higher employee-turnover rates, or increases in the federal- or state-mandated minimum wage, change in exempt and non-exempt status, or other employee benefits costs (including costs associated
51
with health insurance coverage or workers’ compensation insurance), our operating expenses could increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our success depends in part on the effectiveness of our digital marketing strategy and the expansion of our social media presence, but there are risks associated with these efforts.
Our digital marketing strategy is integral to our business, as well as to the achievement of our growth strategies. Maintaining, positioning, and enhancing our brand will depend in part on the success of our marketing efforts. As part of these efforts, we rely on social media and other digital marketing to retain customers, attract new customers and consumers to our brand, and enhance the overall visibility of our brand in the market. However, there are a variety of risks associated with these efforts, including the potential for negative comments about or incidents involving us, whether or not accurate, as well as the potential for the improper disclosure of proprietary information about us or consumers. In addition, there is a risk of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), or other government agency, or other litigation claiming that our marketing does not meet applicable legal requirements or guidance, is not truthful, is misleading, or is unfair or deceptive to consumers. Further, the growing use of social and digital media may increase the speed and extent that information, or misinformation, and opinions about us and our products can be shared. For example, many social media platforms immediately publish content created or uploaded by their participants, often without filters or checks regarding the accuracy of the content posted. Negative publicity about us, our brand or our products on social or digital media could seriously damage our brand and reputation, as well as our significant social media presence. In addition, the misuse of social media and digital marketing platforms by us, our employees, customers, consumers, social media influencers, or business partners could increase our costs, lead to litigation, or result in negative publicity that could damage our reputation. If we do not maintain and enhance the favorable perception of our brand, we may not be able to increase product sales, which could prevent us from achieving our strategic objectives.
Any failure to adequately store, maintain and deliver our products could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
Our ability to adequately store, maintain, and deliver our products is critical to our business. Keeping our food products at specific temperatures and humidity levels maintains food safety and quality. In the event of extended power outages, labor disruptions, natural disasters or other catastrophic occurrences, failures of the refrigeration systems in our third-party delivery trucks, or other circumstances, our inability to store inventory at appropriate temperatures and low humidity could result in significant product inventory losses, as well as increased risk of food-borne illnesses and other food safety incidents. Improper handling or storage of food by a customer, without any involvement or fault of ours or our retail customers, could result in food-borne illnesses, which could result in negative publicity and harm to our brand and reputation. Any failure to adequately store, maintain, or transport our products could negatively impact the safety, quality and merchantability of our products and the experience of our customers. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
Failure to manage inventory at optimal levels could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are required to manage a large volume of inventory of products effectively for our business. We depend on our forecasts for the anticipated demand for our products to make procurement plans and manage our inventory. Our forecast for demand, however, may not accurately reflect the actual market demands, which depends on a number of factors including, without limitation, launches of new products, changes in product life cycles and pricing, product defects, changes in consumer spending patterns, supplier back orders and other supplier-related issues, distributors’ and retailers’ procurement plans, as well as the volatile economic environment in the markets where we sell our products. In addition, when we launch a new product with new components or raw material, it may be difficult to establish relationships, determine appropriate raw material and product selection, and accurately forecast market demand for such product. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain proper inventory levels for our business at all times, and any such failure may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inventory levels in excess of distributor and/or consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs or an increase in inventory holding costs and a potential negative effect on our liquidity. For example, as of September 30, 2024, our inventory grew to $19.4 million, relative to our cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million, primarily as a result of our decision to halt shipping of our products during the third quarter and the beginning of October. As we plan to continue expanding our product offerings, we expect to include more products in our inventory, which will make it more challenging for us to manage our inventory effectively and will put more pressure on our storing system. If we fail to manage our inventory effectively, we may be subject to a heightened risk of inventory obsolescence, a decline in inventory values, and significant inventory write-downs or write-offs. In addition, we may be required to lower sale prices in order to reduce inventory level, which may lead to lower gross margins. High inventory levels may also require us to commit substantial capital resources, preventing us from using that capital for other important purposes. Any of the above may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
52
Conversely, if we underestimate distributor or consumer demand, or if our supplier fails to provide products to us in a timely manner, we may experience inventory shortages, which may, in turn, require us to purchase our products at higher costs, result in unfulfilled product orders, leading to a negative impact on our financial condition and our relationships with distributors or consumers. Under-stocking can lead to missed sales opportunities, while over-stocking could result in inventory depreciation and decreased shelf space for products that are in higher demand. These results could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Information security events, or real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our systems; other technology disruptions; or failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to information security could negatively impact our business, our reputation and our relationships with customers.
Our continued success depends in part on our systems, applications, and software continuing to operate to meet our business demands. We rely on information technology systems and infrastructure for substantially all aspects of our business operations. We use mobile applications, social networking, and other online activities to connect with our customers, consumers, suppliers, and employees. Our business involves the storage and transmission of confidential information and intellectual property, including information pertaining to customers, consumers, vendors, distributors, and suppliers, and employees. We also may maintain financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. Further, as we pursue new initiatives that enhance our operations and cost structure, potentially including acquisitions, we may also be required to expand and improve our information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. Like all technology and information systems, such use gives rise to cybersecurity risks, including security incidents, espionage, system disruption through material errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs, particularly when new features or capabilities are released, theft, and inadvertent release of information. Our technology and information systems may be subject to computer viruses or malicious code, break-ins, phishing impersonation attacks, attempts to overload our servers with denial-of-service or other attacks, ransomware, and similar incidents or disruptions from unauthorized access or use of our computer systems, as well as unintentional incidents causing data leakage, any of which could lead to interruptions, delays, or website or mobile app shutdowns. Electronic security attacks designed to gain access to personal, sensitive, or confidential data are constantly evolving, and such attacks continue to grow in sophistication. If we fail to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with new initiatives or acquisitions, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks.
While we have implemented measures designed to prevent security incidents and cyber attacks, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be effective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, misuse, or release of sensitive or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, reputational harm, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, and liability, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Additionally, as a result of a security incident, we could be subject to demands, claims, and litigation by private parties and investigations, related actions, and penalties by regulatory authorities. Moreover, we could incur significant costs in notifying affected persons and entities and otherwise complying with the multitude of laws and regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, use, or disclosure of personal information.
Further, our operations depend on the continuing and efficient operation of our information technology, communications systems and infrastructure, and on cloud-based platforms, including platforms operated by vendors. Any of these systems and infrastructure are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, vandalism, sabotage, terrorist attacks, floods, fires, power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses or other deliberate attempts to harm the systems. The occurrence of a natural or intentional disaster, any decision to close a facility we are using without adequate notice, or particularly an unanticipated problem at a cloud- based virtual server facility, could result in harmful interruptions in our service, resulting in adverse effects to our business. Although we have invested in the protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurances that our efforts will protect us against significant breakdowns, breaches in our systems, or other cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, operations, or financial condition of the company.
Our collection, use, and disclosure of information, including personal information, is subject to federal, state and foreign privacy and security regulations and binding industry standards; new or changed regulations could impose significant costs to our operation and failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local rules and regulations relating to the collection, processing, storing, sharing, disclosure, use, and security of personal information and other data. We also are or may in the future be subject to contractual obligations to protect data. We strive to comply with applicable laws, contractual obligations, and our own policies pertaining to the processing of personal information. Nevertheless, such laws, regulations, and other obligations may require us to change our business practices and may negatively impact our ability to expand our business and pursue business opportunities. We may incur significant
53
expenses to comply with the laws, regulations, and other obligations that apply to us. Additionally, the privacy- and data protection-related laws, rules, and regulations applicable to us may be interpreted and applied in new ways or in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. Further, new laws, rules, and regulations could be enacted with which we are not familiar or with which our practices do not comply.
Several U.S. jurisdictions have passed omnibus privacy laws that apply to us now or may apply in the future as we grow and expand, and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions. Examples include the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CPRA”). Since the passage of the CCPA, more than ten (10) U.S. states have enacted omnibus privacy laws, which will go into effect at varying dates through 2026. The CCPA and other state omnibus laws provide consumers with substantial rights over their personal information, impose notice obligations on companies, and require companies to implement programs to manage such rights. As Company operates in the business-to-business space, Company will not be directly subject to the majority of the enacted state omnibus privacy laws. Nonetheless, to the extent that certain of these laws are applicable to us, and to the extent that other states enact laws in the future that are or may be applicable to us, we will need to expend resources to evaluate such regulations and implement compliance solutions. If we engage in email marketing or certain telemarketing activities, we will be subject to issue-specific laws pertaining to the use of information, including laws on marketing and advertising, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule and the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, and their state counterparts.
Further, if our operations bring us into the scope of non-U.S. privacy and data protection regulations, we may be subject to additional privacy and data protection regulations, which may require us to spend resources to comply with such programs and expose us to risk for any actual or perceived failure to comply.
We also are or may be subject to binding industry standards, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS”), due to our acceptance of payment cards. If we or our payment processors fail to comply with the PCI-DSS, we may incur significant fines or liability and lose access to major payment card systems. Industry groups may in the future adopt additional self-regulatory standards by which we are legally or contractually bound.
Compliance with these and any other applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations is a rigorous and time-intensive process, and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with the new data protection rules. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with privacy or data protection laws, policies, or industry standards or any security incident that results in the unauthorized release of personal information may result in governmental enforcement actions and investigations, fines and penalties, litigation and/or adverse publicity, including by consumer advocacy groups, and could cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. Such failures could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. If the third parties we work with violate applicable laws, contractual obligations or suffer a security incident, such violations may also put us in breach of our obligations under privacy laws and regulations and/or could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our international sales and operations, including our planned business development activities outside of the United States, subject us to additional risks and challenges that can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As part of our growth strategy, we expect to continue to expand our international operations and manufacturing capacity, and provide our treats in additional languages and on-board new customers outside the U.S. Any new markets or countries into which we attempt to conduct business and sell our treats may not be receptive to our business development activities. We believe that our ability to attract new customers is directly correlated to the level of engagement we achieve with our customers in their home countries. To the extent that we are unable to effectively engage with non-U.S. customers, we may be unable to effectively grow in international markets.
Our international operations also subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:
54
55
這些風險和挑戰中的任何一個都可能對我們的運營產生不利影響,降低我們的營業收入或增加我們的運營成本,這些都可能對我們在美國以外擴展我們的業務能力產生不利影響,從而影響我們的整體業務,以及我們的運營結果、財務狀況和增長前景。
符合適用於我們國際業務的法律法規,顯著增加了我們的業務成本。我們可能無法跟上政府要求的變化,因爲它們不時發生變化。不遵守這些法規可能對我們的業務產生不利影響。在許多國外國家,他人往往會從事我們內部政策、程序或適用於我們的美國或其他法規所禁止的商業行爲。儘管我們已實施旨在確保遵守這些法律和政策的政策和程序,但不能保證我們的員工、承包商、合作伙伴和代理商將遵守這些法律和政策。我們的員工、承包商、合作伙伴或代理商違反法律或我們的政策可能導致營業收入確認延遲、財務報告錯誤陳述、執法行動、利潤違約金返還、罰款、民事和刑事處罰、賠償金、禁令、其他附帶後果及增加成本,包括捍衛此類行動的成本,或禁止進口或出口我們的產品,這些都可能對我們的業務、運營業績和財務狀況產生不利影響。
與監管環境相關的風險
我們的運營受美國FDA和其他聯邦、州及地方當局的監管,以及我們可能銷售產品的任何其他地區,而我們不能保證會符合所有法律和法規。
我們的業務受到FDA以及美國和其他可能銷售我們產品的任何司法轄區的聯邦、州和地方當局的廣泛監管。具體來說,對於在美國製造或銷售的產品,我們需遵守《聯邦食品、藥品和化妝品法案(FDCA)》及FDA頒佈的相關法規。這一全面的監管計劃涵蓋了製造、成分、包裝、標籤和食品安全等諸多方面。根據這一計劃,FDA要求生產食品產品的設施遵守一系列要求,包括危害分析和預防控制規定、當前良好製造規範(GMPs)以及供應商驗證要求。我們的合作製造商根據我們的規格在其加工廠中準備和包裝凍幹糖果,並接受外國、聯邦、州和地方當局定期檢查。如果我們的產品未按照我們的規格和FDA或其他監管機構的嚴格法規要求進行製造、加工、包裝和標籤,我們或我們的合作製造商可能受到不利的檢查發現或執法行動,這可能會嚴重影響我們營銷產品的能力,或導致曾經已經分發的產品召回。如果FDA或其他監管機構確定我們或我們的供應商或其他業務合作伙伴未遵守適用的監管要求,可能會對我們的業務造成不利影響。
我們尋求通過具有經驗的專業人員遵守適用的法律法規,以確保質量保證的合規性,並與進行新產品分析的第三方實驗室簽訂合同,以建立營養標籤信息並幫助在分發之前識別某些潛在污染物。我們現有的合規結構可能不足以應對當前或不斷變化的監管環境。這可能導致合規覆蓋的空白或遺漏必要的新合規活動。不遵守適用的法律法規,或未能保持與我們或其運營相關的許可證、執照或註冊,可能使我們面臨民事救濟或處罰,包括罰款、禁令、產品召回、警告信、或對產品的營銷或製造施加限制,並可能導致刑事制裁,任何這些情況都可能導致運營成本增加和聲譽受損。此外,適用於食品的法律、法規或政策的變化可能使我們面臨不利的政府行動,並對我們的業務、運營結果和財務狀況產生重大不利影響。
即使是無意的、非故意的或無知的違反聯邦、州或地方監管要求,也可能使我們面臨不利的政府行動,並對我們的業務、運營結果和財務狀況造成重大不利影響。
FDCA法律管理州際商業中的食品運輸,通常不區分故意和無意的非過失違法行爲。大多數州和地方法律的運作方式也類似。因此,幾乎任何對FDCA或適用的州或地方法律的主觀或客觀要求的偏離,都使我們面臨風險。
56
各種行政行爲、執法行爲和/或民事和刑事處罰。未能遵守法律和法規可能對我們的業務、運營結果和財務狀況造成重大不利影響。
與我們的普通股所有權相關的風險
我們可能無法在納斯達克資本市場上維持我們普通股的上市。
我們的普通股目前在納斯達克資本市場上市。我們必須滿足某些財務和流動性標準,以維持我們普通股在納斯達克資本市場的上市。如果我們未能滿足任何上市標準,或違反任何上市要求,我們的普通股可能會被退市。我們的普通股從納斯達克資本市場退市可能會嚴重影響股東買賣我們普通股的能力,並可能對我們普通股的市場價格以及交易市場的效率產生不利影響。我們普通股的退市可能會顯著削弱我們籌集資金的能力以及您投資的價值。
我們普通股的市場價格非常波動,並可能繼續大幅波動。
我們普通股的市場價格可能會繼續高度波動,並且可能會因衆多因素而經歷大幅波動,其中部分因素超出我們的控制範圍,包括但不限於:
這些及其他因素在很大程度上超出了我們的控件,這些風險的影響,單獨或合計,可能導致我們的普通股市場價格和經營業績以及財務狀況發生重大不利變化。
57
此外,股市經歷過價格和成交量的波動,這些波動影響並繼續影響着許多公司股票交易價格。這些波動通常與這些公司的經營業績無關或不成比例。這些廣泛的市場和行業板塊波動可能會對我們普通股的交易價格產生負面影響。
過去,經歷過證券交易波動的公司曾遭受證券集體訴訟。我們未來可能成爲這種訴訟的目標。針對我們的證券訴訟可能導致巨額費用,並分散管理層對其他業務事務的關注,這可能會損害我們的業務。
我們從未對我們的普通股支付過分紅派息,也不打算在可預見的未來支付分紅派息。
我們從未宣佈或支付過普通股的任何股息,並且在可預見的將來也沒有意向支付任何股息。我們預計如果有的話,未來所有收益將用於償還債務、資助增長、發展業務、資助運營資本需求以及一般公司用途。未來是否支付股息將由我們的董事會自行決定。因此,投資者應依賴普通股價格升值後的出售來實現任何對我們普通股投資的未來盈利。
未來我們普通股的銷售和發行,或可以轉換或行使爲我們普通股的證券,包括根據我們的股權激勵計劃,可能導致我們股東的持股比例進一步稀釋,並可能導致我們普通股的交易價格下降。
在未來,我們可能以我們隨時判斷的價格和方式,在一個或多個交易中賣出我們的普通股或可轉換或可行使爲我們的普通股的證券。我們還預計根據我們的股權激勵計劃向董事、高管、僱員和顧問發行額外的普通股。如果我們在隨後的交易中賣出我們的普通股或可轉換或可行使爲我們的普通股的證券,或者根據我們的股權激勵計劃發行普通股,投資者可能會受到重大稀釋。此外,在這些隨後的交易中的新投資者可能會收到享有高於我們普通股持有者權利的證券。
我們是 “小型報告公司” 和適用於較小報告公司的減少披露要求可能會使我們的普通股對投資者不太具吸引力。
我們是根據適用的SEC規則被歸類爲「小型報告公司」,這意味着我們非關聯方持有的普通股市場價值少於70000萬美元,並且我們最近完成的財政年度的年營業收入少於10000萬美元。如果(i)我們非關聯方持有的股票市場價值少於25000萬美元,或者(ii)我們最近完成的財政年度的年營業收入少於10000萬美元且我們非關聯方持有的股票市場價值少於70000萬美元,我們可以繼續成爲小型報告公司。作爲小型報告公司,我們選擇在這份10-K年度報告中僅展示最近兩年的經審計基本報表,以及與管理層討論和分析控件及運營結果相關的兩個年度披露,並且我們已利用關於高管薪酬的減免披露義務。
我們的季度運營結果可能會顯著波動,期與期之間的結果比較可能沒有意義,這些波動可能會導致我們普通股的價格下跌。
我們的季度業績,包括收入、營業費用、營業利潤率和盈利能力,未來可能會有顯著波動,季度間業績的比較可能並不具有實際意義。因此,任何一個季度的業績不應被視爲我們未來表現的預測或指示。此外,我們的季度業績可能無法完全反映我們業務的基本表現。
可能導致我們季度業績波動的因素包括但不限於:
58
季度業績的波動,或任何其他時期的業績波動,可能會對我們普通股的價值產生負面影響,無論這些波動是否影響或反映我們業務的整體表現。如果我們的季度業績,或任何其他時期的業績低於投資者或任何關注我們股票的證券分析師的預期,或者低於我們可能提供的任何指導,我們普通股的交易價格可能會大幅下降。
與會計和稅務事務相關的風險
對我們不利的稅法或法規變化,可能會增加產品成本並損害我們的運營業績。
新的收入、銷售、使用或其他稅法、法令、規則、條例可能隨時頒佈。這些頒佈可能會損害我們的業務、運營結果和財務狀況。此外,現有的稅法、法令、規則、條例可能會被解釋、修改、變更或對我們產生不利的影響。這些事件可能要求我們在前瞻性或追溯性基礎上支付額外的稅額,以及要求我們支付對過去應支付的金額進行罰款、處罰和利息,這些都會損害我們的運營結果。
現有財務會計準則或慣例的變化可能要求我們重新報告財務業績,或損害我們的經營業績。
根據財務會計準則委員會、證券交易委員會以及其他制定和解讀適當財務原則的機構的解讀,普通會計準則是需要解讀的。這些原則或業績解讀的變化可能會對我們的財務結果產生重大影響,並可能影響到在變更公佈之前完成的交易的報告。採用這些新準則以及在實施會計準則變更過程中可能出現的困難,包括修改我們的會計系統的能力,可能導致我們未能滿足財務報告義務,這可能會導致監管機構採取執法行動,使投資者失去對我們財務報告的信任,並導致我們普通股交易價格下跌。
普遍風險
59
中東地區以色列與其對手哈馬斯、真主黨和伊朗之間的衝突可能會影響我們的運營。
我們部分銷售來源於以色列,因此我們的業務和運營直接受到以色列的經濟、政治、地緣政治和軍工-半導體條件的影響。
自1948年以色列建國以來,以色列與鄰國及在該地域板塊活動的恐怖組織之間發生了一系列武裝衝突。這些衝突涉及導彈襲擊、敵對滲透和針對以色列各地平民目標的恐怖活動,這對以色列的業務環境產生了負面影響。
2006年夏季,以色列與真主黨發生武裝衝突,真主黨是黎巴嫩的伊斯蘭什葉派民兵組織和政黨。2008年12月和2009年1月,以色列、哈馬斯、巴勒斯坦權力機構和其他組織之間的暴力升級,以及以色列與加沙地帶邊界沿線廣泛的敵對行動,導致加沙地帶向以色列南部發射導彈。2012年11月以及2014年7月至8月期間,以色列與控制加沙地帶的一個民兵組織和政黨發生武裝衝突,導致加沙地帶向以色列南部發射導彈,以及向特拉維夫附近以及耶路撒冷周邊地區發射導彈。2023年10月7日,哈馬斯恐怖分子從加沙地帶潛入以色列南部邊界,並對平民和軍事目標發動一系列襲擊。哈馬斯還對以色列與加沙地帶邊界沿線以及以色列國內其他地區的人口和工業中心發動了大規模火箭襲擊。在襲擊之後,以色列安防-半導體內閣宣佈對哈馬斯宣戰,並開始對這些恐怖組織進行軍事行動,同時他們持續進行火箭和恐怖襲擊。此外,以色列與真主黨在黎巴嫩和伊朗之間的衝突可能在未來升級爲更大規模的區域型衝突。
任何涉及以色列的敵對行動,或以色列境內或以色列與其貿易伙伴之間貿易中斷或削減,均可能對我們的運營和經營結果產生不利影響或使我們更難籌集資金。以色列的衝突局勢還可能導致我們的供應鏈和國際貿易受到干擾,包括我們產品的出口。以色列的衝突局勢還可能導致與我們在以色列履行合同的各方聲稱,根據這些協議中的不可抗力條款,他們沒有義務履行這些協議下的承諾。
目前無法預測持續衝突的持續時間或嚴重程度,以及其對我們業務、運營和財務狀況的影響。當前衝突正在迅速演變和發展,可能會干擾我們在以色列的業務和運營,或妨礙我們籌集其他基金的能力等。
我們的業務在很大程度上依賴於高級管理層和其他關鍵人員的持續努力,包括我們的執行董事會主席Ira和首席執行官Claudia Goldfarb,如果我們失去他們的服務,業務可能會受到嚴重干擾。.
我們未來的成功在很大程度上取決於我們的高級管理人員和其他關鍵員工的持續服務,特別是我們的執行主席Ira和首席執行官Claudia Goldfarb的持續貢獻,他們的知識、領導才能和技術專長難以替代。我們的高管或關鍵人員可能隨時終止與我們的僱傭關係而無需承擔任何處罰。此外,我們沒有爲任何員工購買重要人員壽險。如果我們的一名或多名高級主管無法或不願繼續在現任職位工作,我們可能需要耗費大量時間和資源來尋找、招聘和整合替補人員到我們的業務中,這將大大分散管理的注意力,嚴重干擾我們的業務。這也可能對我們執行業務策略的能力造成不利影響。
經濟狀況惡化或消費者支出減少可能會對我們實施業務策略的能力產生不利影響。
我們的成功在很大程度上依賴於可自由支配的消費,受到整體經濟控件和可自由支配收入的影響。對於美國的經濟控件沒有任何確定性,信用和金融市場以及信懇智能可能隨時惡化。因此,在經濟動盪或不確定時期,我們可能會經歷營業收入的下降。此外,持續的通貨膨脹可能會導致可自由支配消費的金額減少,並進一步影響我們的毛利率。未來的經濟控件,如就業水平、業務控件、住房開工、利率期貨、通貨膨脹率、能源和燃料成本以及稅率,可能會減少消費或改變消費的購買習慣。任何可自由支配消費金額的重大下降,導致注重成本的消費者在購買食品產品時變得更加挑剔,可能會對我們的營業收入、經營業績、業務和財務狀況產生重大不利影響。
60
未能成功整合新收購的產品或業務可能會對我們的盈利能力產生負面影響。
我們可能不時考慮收購其他產品或業務的機會,以擴大我們的市場範圍或客戶群。未來收購的成功將取決於我們有效整合所收購的產品和業務的能力。整合過程可能複雜、昂貴且耗時。如果無法及時且具有成本效益地成功整合所收購的產品或業務,可能會對我們的業務、前景、運營結果和財務狀況產生重大不利影響。管理層的注意力分散以及在整合過程中遇到的任何困難也可能對我們管理業務的能力產生重大不利影響。此外,整合過程可能導致關鍵員工的流失、持續業務的中斷、稅收成本或低效,或標準的不一致,這些都可能對我們維護品牌吸引力以及與客戶、員工或其他第三方的關係,或實現預期的收購收益的能力產生不利影響,並可能損害我們的財務表現。我們不知道是否能夠識別出我們認爲合適的收購對象,不知道是否能夠成功以有利條款完成這些收購,甚至是不知道是否能夠成功整合任何收購的產品或業務。此外,任何收購本身固有的額外風險是我們未能實現投資的正回報。
索賠、法律訴訟和其他爭議可能會分散我們管理層的注意力,’對我們的聲譽產生負面影響,使我們面臨重大責任,並使獲得保險覆蓋變得更加困難。
我們可能不時會涉及各種索賠、法律訴訟和其他爭議。我們會評估這些事項,以評估不利結果的可能性,並儘可能估算潛在損失的金額。基於這些評估和估算,我們可能會適當建立準備金。這些評估和估算基於管理層當時可獲得的信息,並涉及大量管理判斷。實際結果或損失可能與我們的評估和估算有實質性差異.
即使控件不合理,司法訴訟的辯護可能會分散我們管理層的注意力,我們可能需要耗費大量費用來進行辯護。司法訴訟的結果本質上是不確定的,其中一些訴訟的不利判決或和解可能導致我們承擔不利的金錢賠償、罰款或對我們採取禁令救濟措施,這可能會對我們的業績、財務狀況和流動性產生重大不利影響。任何司法訴訟或其他糾紛,即使完全獲得賠償或保險,都可能對我們的聲譽造成負面影響,使我們更難以有效競爭或在將來獲得足夠的保險。
此外,雖然我們爲某些潛在責任投保,但這些保險並不覆蓋所有類型和金額的潛在責任,並且受各種排除條款和可索賠金額上限的限制。即使我們相信某項索賠是由保險覆蓋的,保險公司也可能因爲各種潛在原因對我們獲得賠償的權利提出異議,這可能會影響我們索賠的時間和金額。
我們的披露控制和流程可能無法防止或發現所有錯誤或欺詐行爲。
我們的披露控制和程序旨在提供合理的保證,確保我們根據《交易所法》在提交的報告中披露的信息被積累並傳達給管理層,在規則和SEC規定的表格中進行記錄、處理、彙總和報告。我們相信任何披露控制和程序或內部控制和程序,無論多麼精心設計和運作,只能提供合理的、而非絕對的保證,控制系統的目標得以實現。這些固有限制包括決策判斷可能出現錯誤,而由於簡單的失誤或錯誤可能導致故障。此外,控制可能被一些人的個人行爲繞過,被兩個或更多人串通,或者未經授權地對控制進行覆蓋。因此,由於我們控制系統中的固有限制,由於錯誤或欺詐可能發生並且未被發現會導致錯誤陳述或不充分披露。
項目2. 未註冊股票證券的銷售及收益的使用。
在截至2024年9月30日的九個月期間,我們的證券以下發行是根據1933年證券法第4(a)(2)條和/或根據其頒佈的D類規章第506條免於註冊要求的。
2024年3月28日,公司通過定向增發的方式,按照7.25美元的股價出售了515,597股新發行的普通股,共籌集了3,738,078美元的資金,免除了《1933年證券法》第4(a)(2)條的登記要求。定向增發的投資者包括Sow Good的首席執行官和執行主席,以及特定的Sow Good董事會成員、關聯方和合格投資者。所得款項用於資助增量資本支出和一般營業費用。

在2024年5月2日,公司以每股10.00美元的價格定價其註冊的承銷公開發行,共計1,200,000股公司普通股,面值爲0.001美元。此外,公司還向承銷商授予了一個爲期30天的超額配售權,以購買最多180,000股額外的普通股,並向承銷商發行了購買120,000股普通股的warrants。2024年5月1日,公司獲得了將在納斯達克資本市場交易所(「納斯達克」)上市其普通股的批准。在2024年5月2日,納斯達克開始交易。2024年5月9日,承銷商根據完全行使其超額配售權購買了所有額外股份。包括來自額外股份的收益,公開發行的收益約爲11,974,976美元,扣除發行費用和承銷折扣及佣金。預計這些收益將用於一般企業用途,可能包括擴展我們生產能力的資本支出、資金週轉和增長資本、擴展我們的銷售和市場功能以及減少我們某些債務的部分分期。
2024年4月15日,公司在行使2021年12月至2023年5月之間發行的warrants(「warrants」)時,發行了2,186,250股普通股,行使價格從2.21美元到2.60美元不等(「warrant行使」)。在warrant行使之前,所有warrants均未被修訂。每一位行使warrants的持有人(統稱爲「持有人」)在與公司根據2021年12月至2023年5月之間發行的多期票據(統稱爲「票據」)產生債務有關的情況下收到了其warrants。這些warrants在開始時被分類爲永久性權益。由於warrants中包含的贖回條款允許公司在每日成交量加權平均股價在連續三十個交易日內超過9.00美元的情況下,以每個warrant 0.001美元的價格贖回warrants,因此,隨着公司普通股交易價格的近期上漲,公司收到了來自各個持有人的行使warrants的意圖。經過公司董事會的授權,每一位持有人都有機會並同意修訂其部分票據(「票據修訂」),以允許將本金的部分提前還款,總額等於該持有人的warrants行使價格。除了票據修訂外,部分持有人選擇使用其票據下的累計未支付利息的部分來支付warrants的行使價格。由於warrant行使,部分票據已全部償還,因此不需要根據票據修訂進行修訂(warrant行使,無論是部分或全部本金的償還,或選擇使用票據下的累計未支付利息的部分,加上票據修訂,統稱爲「warrant行使交易」)。由於warrant行使交易,排除遞延債務成本的影響,公司債務減少了5,200,362美元,應付利息減少了98,750美元,普通股權益增加了5,299,112美元,公司共計發行了2,186,250股普通股。
2024年9月30日結束的九個月內,公司通過其2020年期權計劃,向員工、董事和顧問行使期權,發行了50,459股普通股。 這些期權行使所得款項約爲163,854美元。 目前預計將利用所得款項用於一般企業目的,包括資本支出以擴大我們的生產能力,資助工作和增長資本,擴展我們的銷售和營銷功能以及減少我們某些未償還部分的負債。
截至2024年9月30日的九個月期間,公司通過董事和顧問行使2020年發行的warrants,發行了52,500股普通股,作爲個人擔保債務的補償。行使這些warrants的總收益約爲210,000美元。目前預計這些收益將用於一般公司用途,包括擴大生產能力的資本支出,資助流動和增長資本,擴展我們的銷售和營銷功能,以及減少我們某些債務的分期。
