Our Company

We are a provider of consumer health care, beauty, and lifestyle products. Our current brand portfolio consists of two marquee brands, FOCUSfactor, a clinically-tested brain health supplement (this study was performed independently and is not related to any U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) -approved investigational new drug (IND) application) that has been shown to improve memory, concentration and focus, and Flat Tummy, a lifestyle and wellness brand that provides a suite of nutritional products to help women achieve their nutrition and weight management goals. Collectively, these brands are referred to as nutraceuticals. Our products are sold through some of the nation’s leading club, mass drug, and other retailers such as Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe. Additionally, we have expanded into Canada and Mexico.

We built our brand portfolio through strategic acquisitions. We acquired the FOCUSfactor brand in January 2015 for cash consideration of $6.0 million, including earnout. In November 2015, we acquired our second marquee brand, Flat Tummy, for AUD 10.0 million (approximately $7.0 million), using a mix of cash and stock. Our capital structure following the acquisitions of our key brands in 2015 has been highly levered, and our focus has been on paying our debt and, as a result, we do not have the resources to grow our business. We have grown our FOCUSfactor brand from 3 SKUs at acquisition to over 34 SKUs, and our Flat Tummy Brand from 1 SKU to 13 SKUs. We use the term SKU, or stock-keeping unit, to refer to a product with a unique UPC (Universal Product Code), which is the barcode used to identify products.

We intend to accelerate the growth of both our FOCUSfactor supplements and FOCUSfactor energy Ready To Drink (RTD) products. Our asset-light business model, in which we partner with third-party manufacturers to produce our brand offerings, allows us to scale quickly and profitably while satisfying growing demand.

Our Brands

Our flagship brand, FOCUSfactor, is a brain health nutritional supplement with over 25 years of history and a clinically-tested formula (this study was performed independently and is not related to any FDA-approved IND application) comprised of a proprietary blend of key brain supporting ingredients along with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. We believe FOCUSfactor is the only product in its category whose entire formula has been shown to support memory, concentration and focus. Our FOCUSfactor brand consists of over 34 SKUs and is sold primarily through leading retailers in the United States, including Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe, in addition to selling direct to consumer through the FOCUSfactor website. Across three of our key partners, we have increased the number of SKUs sold through the retailer from the single SKU available at the beginning of our relationships in 2015 and 2016. In addition, we have increased our presence in retail locations for these key partners, resulting in a significant increase in points of distribution, defined as the number of SKUs multiplied by the number of retail locations for each retailer. We have also expanded the brand internationally into Canada (2020) and Mexico (2025).

FOCUSfactor has expanded into the beverage market with its focus plus energy RTD. According to Zion Research in January 2024, the global beverage market is large ($176 billion in 2022) and growing (projected 8.6% CAGR covering eight years from 2022 through 2030) with an expanding range of functional benefits such as energy, hydration, cognition/focus, weight loss, gut health and immunity. Examples such as Celsius and Beyond Raw offer dual-benefit products that deliver fat burning plus energy while C4 Smart Energy and FocusAid deliver focus plus energy. Additionally, consumers are looking for not only refreshing drinks but health perks such as zero sugar and low-calorie drinks. This consumer shift in preferences towards more functional benefits can be seen in the evolution of the energy RTD category where originally competitors like Red Bull and Monster delivered conventional energy, then the category offered more performance energy products with added vitamins and amino acids in products such as Reign and C4 Performance to products with more natural energy characteristics and then to the dual-benefit energy products that we see today.

FOCUSfactor is well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving energy RTD category (U.S. sales of $19.2 billion in 2023 and a CAGR of 6.3% from 2018 to 2023, according to Euromonitor in December 2023) with its new focus plus energy RTD. We believe this represents a major growth opportunity, with our dual-benefit RTD formula offering both focus and energy behind a 24+ year brand with strong heritage and awareness in the area of brain health. The FOCUSfactor brand name clearly communicates the differentiation benefit of adding focus to energy. The FOCUSfactor formula does not have to rely as heavily on caffeine as other brands such as Celsius, Bang, Reign and C4, as its formula is a balanced blend of vitamins, cognitive nutrients and caffeine all in a zero sugar, low calorie, great-tasting drink. The brand also delivers a significant value relative to many competitors. Additionally, FOCUSfactor has long-term relationships with large retailers where it has an established presence, which will assist in market penetration for its RTD products. FOCUSfactor is looking to attract both existing consumers of supplement products (typically customers over age 50) to RTDs as well as a younger demographic (aged 18-49).

FOCUSfactor has successfully demonstrated the ability to leverage its existing retailer relationships to expand its RTDs. From March 2023 through August 2023, FOCUSfactor conducted a five-month trial of its RTD products in 44 clubs of a warehouse club retailer throughout Texas with sales ranging from $550 per club per week to $2,382 per club per week. From April 2024 through July 2024, a second pilot was successfully completed at a major Canadian club retailer throughout Canada with results ranging from C$378 per club per week to C$2,206 per club per week.

Our second marquee brand, Flat Tummy, consists of a range of lifestyle and wellness products and accessories including tea, shakes, lollipops, supplements, apparel, and exercise accessories. We also provide a Flat Tummy mobile app, which, as of December 31, 2025, had approximately 2.0 million unique downloads and is intended as a tool to promote the Flat Tummy lifestyle centered around general wellness and health. Our Flat Tummy brand consists of 13 SKUs and is sold direct to consumer through the Flat Tummy website and application, as well as through Amazon.com, Target.com and iherb.com.

We also own six additional non-core brands. While we may elect to promote these brands and commercialize their products in the future, we have prioritized our key brands, FOCUSfactor and Flat Tummy, and management is focused on the growth of these core products.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we have attributes that differentiate us from our competitors and provide us with significant competitive advantages. Our key competitive strengths include:

Well-Positioned in Growing Categories Driven by Favorable Consumer Trends

An increased focus on health, beauty and wellness by consumers has served as a tailwind for our brands. The nutritional supplement market has experienced significant growth across a range of areas including immune health, brain health, heart health, sleep/stress, and overall nutrition and wellness as a result of an aging population, increased obesity, pandemic concerns and a desire for more natural solutions and treatments over prescription medication. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from these favorable trends. The brain health segment is slated to grow at 8% per year in the United States and 13% per year globally through 2030, according to Grand View Research. We believe our focus on lifestyle products has also benefited from the growth and prevalence of social media.

Results Backed by Independent Study for FOCUSfactor

We believe the FOCUSfactor brand is strengthened by an independent clinical study to support the product claims for improved memory, concentration, and focus. FOCUSfactor has been tested in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate its effect on memory, concentration, and focus in healthy adults. The study was not a clinical trial conducted pursuant to an FDA-approved IND application, and the FDA has not reviewed this study or evaluated these performance claims.

In this study, FOCUSfactor was tested on its entire 52-ingredient formulation rather than testing one or two ingredients within a formulation. FOCUSfactor was shown to provide a 44% increase in recall memory (an increase of 6.5 words compared to 4.5 words for the placebo group) after six weeks of use versus placebo. This differentiates FOCUSfactor from other brain-health supplements and is a prime reason why FOCUSfactor has been placed in premier retailers. This controlled study was conducted in healthy male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 who were randomized in a control group and a placebo group. Subjects were compensated for their participation. See “ — FOCUSfactor Study” for additional information.

Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record of Value Creation

Our executive team has a combined 90 years of experience in consumer marketing and distribution and has been instrumental in acquiring and building our core brands. Management has exercised strong financial discipline in its acquisition strategy, with a focus on acquiring brands at attractive valuations. For example, we acquired FOCUSfactor for approximately 3x trailing EBITDA. Management’s philosophy is to acquire promising brands that fit within our health, beauty and lifestyle offerings, and apply our marketing and distribution strategies to develop brands to their full potential. We believe we are adept at identifying promising opportunities that build out and complement our core brand portfolio.

Premier Retail Partners

Our premier retail partners include Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe and others. We sell products to these partners under their standard arrangements, which do not include a term or duration as sales under each vendor agreement are generally made on a purchase order basis. Our partners provide a platform to expand the breadth of our current offerings through product line extensions and new product innovation. We continue to introduce new SKUs to our current retail partners, such as the addition of FOCUSfactor RTDs and vision products to these retail partners and other channels. Additionally, the international footprint of certain of our various retail partners facilitates our geographic expansion plans.

Scalable and Flexible Asset-Light Model to Support Growth

Our focus is on brand management, marketing, product development and distribution, and we utilize contract manufacturing partners in order to produce our various brand offerings. The use of third-party manufacturing partners allows us to scale quickly, as we ensure that our partners have sufficient capacity to meet our demand needs. We also maintain multiple relationships with different contract manufacturers, ensuring diversification of our manufacturing base and reducing the likelihood of supply bottlenecks or deficits that could potentially slow our growth.

Our Growth Strategy

We intend to drive growth and increased profitability in our business through these key elements of our strategy:

Broaden Media Advertising Strategy

We have experienced significant acceleration in sales growth for the FOCUSfactor brand as a result of our television advertising in prior years. We launched a national advertising campaign in August 2020, which aired on major news and entertainment networks such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, TLC, and TNT, targeting adults 45 years of age and older. We anticipate a coordinated expansion of our advertising strategy during 2026, as we focus on pushing additional SKUs within our retail sales partner network to continue to build brand awareness and increase reach for FOCUSfactor. We also plan to continue to invest in online marketing to promote all of our brands, including social media and influencer driven marketing. We have also experienced significant growth through our increased distribution, which we continue to drive forward.

Acquire Brands which Complement Our Existing Portfolio

We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that we believe fit well within our brand portfolio and create value for our stockholders, such as further retail expansion in nutraceuticals and market expansion in health and beauty. In spite of historical capital constraints, our opportunistic approach to acquisitions has resulted in a successful track record of identifying promising targets that align with our overall brand strategy in the health, beauty and lifestyle segments.

Partner with Additional Leading Retailers to Expand the Reach of Our Products

Based on the success of our products with our established leading retail partners, we believe that we are well positioned to add new retailers that will enhance our distribution footprint. We believe we have expansion opportunities with food retailers, including those focused on health foods.

Diversify Our Geographic Presence through Entry into New Markets

We seek to accelerate our sales growth by expanding and further diversifying our geographic footprint. For the year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of our revenue was generated within North America. Our goal is to increase our revenues generated from new markets. As we target new international markets, our strategy is to develop highly competitive and differentiated products that are produced in-country for ease of entry, with support from our regulatory group and an in-country regulatory consultant to help expedite the approval process. We entered the Mexico market in the fourth quarter of 2025 and plan to enter Taiwan and Asia in 2026, initially with FOCUSfactor, followed by Flat Tummy. We then plan to expand our brands into Australia (where we have Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) approval for our FOCUSfactor products). In addition, we are developing our marketing plans in compliance with applicable law and are initiating retailer meetings as we seek to gain distribution across these new retail markets.

Use Innovative Strategies to Boost Consumer Engagement

We have made investments in promoting an app for Flat Tummy and view this as a key aspect of growing our customer base and maintaining high levels of engagement. We have also focused on developing our social media presence, in particular through Instagram, in order to foster and grow our relationship with customers. Our brands appeal to both specific consumer needs as well as lifestyle choices and we seek to deepen our understanding of our customers and boost recognition of our brands through increased engagement.

Continue to Develop and Expand Our Current Brands

Our plan is to further develop and expand our brands by reaching a broader set of customers through advertising and product expansion. More specifically, we look to develop new products for our brands to satisfy the various customer segment opportunities (i.e., baby boomers, millennials, etc.) and satisfy various consumer needs as they relate to new and improved formulations, expanded and improved product benefits, alternative delivery formats and sizes. As we increase the product line-up behind our brands, we leverage our current retail distribution network by expanding our presence as well as adding incremental distribution with new retail partners. With a broader brand presence, we believe our advertising becomes even more efficient at driving sales velocity.

This is evidenced by our expanded FOCUSfactor product line, including focus and energy RTD and liquid shots that are marketed to a younger adult audience. In 2023, we successfully launched an RTD pilot program in the United States through a major retailer. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2024, we launched three core FOCUSfactor focus and energy RTD products in Canada. In the first quarter of 2025, we introduced new complementary products to the Flat Tummy line-up, including new protein shakes, GLP-1 support products and pre-workout powders. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we introduced FOCUSfactor to Mexico.

Marketing and Sales

Our targeted, consumer-driven marketing strategy has been key to building our brands and driving revenue growth. We manage dedicated marketing strategies for each of our brands in order to build deep connections with our customers.

FOCUSfactor. Our marketing strategy for FOCUSfactor is primarily focused on increased distribution and advertising campaigns that appeal to the demographics of our wellness focused customer base.

We also utilize in-store promotions along with online and social media advertising to promote our FOCUSfactor brand. We leverage the following online and social media assets as part of our marketing strategy:

Flat Tummy. We employ a primarily online and social media driven strategy for our Flat Tummy brand. The brand is focused primarily on women. We employ campaigns to reach our core target segments through a mix of traditional online advertising as well as influencer-based marketing.

FOCUSfactor Study

FOCUSfactor has been tested in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate its effect on memory, concentration, and focus in healthy adults. The controlled study was conducted in normal, healthy, male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 who had responded to advertisements. A total of 96 subjects were enrolled and randomized to one of the two treatment groups (FOCUSfactor and placebo). Subjects were compensated for their participation. The study was sponsored by Factor Nutrition Labs, LLC, the developer of FOCUSfactor, and was conducted in 2011 at Cognitive Research Corporation (“CRC”) in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The sponsor, in consultation with CRC, was responsible for study design including selection of dose, eligibility criteria, efficacy and safety assessments, and vitamin/nutraceutical supply. CRC, a contract research organization, was responsible for data collection, database preparation, overall project management, site monitoring, data management, statistical analyses, and preparation of the final study report.

The primary endpoint was sum recall for five trials of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), a standardized neuropsychological test of memory. The RAVLT is one of the most commonly used tests of memory in psychopharmacology research. The test was originally developed in the 1940s and has proven useful in evaluating verbal learning and memory, including proactive inhibition, retroactive inhibition, retention, encoding versus retrieval, and subjective organization. The standard RAVLT begins with a subject being read a list of 15 unrelated words at the rate of one word per second. The examiner then asks the subject to recall as many words as possible. This procedure is then repeated four more times with the same list of words and the number of correct responses is summed. This summed score was chosen as the primary outcome measure, or endpoint, for the current study.

The study demonstrated that, compared to placebo, FOCUSfactor improved abilities referred to as memory (i.e., short term memory), attention (e.g., focus), concentration and working memory in healthy adults. Following six weeks of treatment, subjects who received FOCUSfactor had a mean increase in recall of 6.5 words compared to 4.5 words for those who received placebo (t = -4.32, df = 87, p <0.001). The total words recalled over the five trials following six weeks of treatment (corrected for baseline score) was 51.9 words for subjects receiving FOCUSfactor compared to 49.7 words for subjects receiving placebo (t = -2.98, df = 87, p = 0.002). The significant effect on the RAVLT summed score supports the hypothesis that FOCUSfactor improves memory, attention (e.g., focus), and concentration. In addition, FOCUSfactor was found to be very well tolerated.

Our History

We were organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 29, 2010 under the name “Oro Capital Corporation.” In April 2014, Synergy Strips Corp., a Delaware corporation, became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we changed our name from “Oro Capital Corporation” to “Synergy Strips Corp.” In August 2015, we changed our name to “Synergy CHC Corp.” In January 2019, our other U.S. subsidiaries, Neuragen Corp., Sneaky Vaunt Corp., The Queen Pegasus Corp. and Breakthrough Products Inc., merged with and into the Company. In July 2021, we acquired Hand MD Corp. as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

We were a public reporting company until July 17, 2020, the date on which we filed a Form 15 to voluntarily suspend our duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of our public offering in October 2024, we became subject again to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and we file periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC.

Our Industry

The global nutritional supplement market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.3% from 2018 to 2028 according to Inkwood Research. One of the drivers of this growth is the increasing availability of over-the-counter products as an alternative to prescription medication.

FOCUSfactor competes in the brain health supplement category. The global brain health supplements market was estimated to be $8.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to Grand View Research. The industry is fragmented, with both global and domestic competitors, which gives us an opportunity to scale and continue to take market share.

Our Flat Tummy brand competes in the weight management and wellbeing market, which in 2022 was estimated to be a $11.3 billion global market, with forecasted growth of 4.0% annually from 2023 to 2032, according to Business Research Insights.

Demographic trends and changing consumer habits, including a focus on reducing obesity prevalence, have been drivers of this market. We expect these trends will benefit the Flat Tummy brand and allow for new and innovative products to appeal to the changing market demographics.

Research and Development

The development of new products is comprised of two distinct steps. First, our marketing team reviews new product opportunities by analyzing market data and consumer trends in the market as well as products offered by our competition and then develops preliminary new product concepts which include claims/benefits, delivery form, packaging, and pricing targets, among others. We then work with our third-party manufacturers and leverage their research and development to finalize our new product initiative (including formula and specifications), as these partners are experienced in product development and formulation. When we acquire a brand, we typically further expand the SKUs under that brand, through internal development and with our existing partners. Generally, we take ownership of the formulas and related intellectual property, unless the products use a generic formulation.

Manufacturing and Related Operations

Our company collaborates with external manufacturers, known for their reliability, to produce our diverse range of products. We carefully select partners based on their expertise and manufacturing capabilities, ensuring our products are of the highest quality. The FOCUSfactor line is produced by several respected manufacturers, including Nutrition Formulators Inc., Vit-Best Nutrition, Multi-Pak Packaging, ProTab Laboratories and Tailored Bottling Solutions to ensure supply continuity and support brand growth. For the Flat Tummy line, we work closely with manufacturers, including Caraway Tea Company, Nutrition Formulators Inc., and Clever Foods.

Distribution

Most of our revenues are generated through the retail channels, primarily due to our FOCUSfactor brand which is sold mainly through leading retailers. These retailers include club, mass, drug and other retailers such as Costco, Amazon.com, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, and The Vitamin Shoppe. All of our brands are also sold directly to consumers through their respective brand websites.

Competition

The U.S. nutritional supplements retail industry is a large and highly fragmented industry with few barriers to entry. We compete against other domestic and international manufacturers, specialty retailers, mass merchants, multi-level marketing organizations, mail-order and direct-to-consumer companies, and e-commerce companies. This market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. Certain of our competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, and may be able to adapt to changes in consumer preferences more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, or generate greater brand recognition. In addition, our competitors may be more effective and efficient in introducing new products.

Although there are many competing products on the market across our product categories, we believe that the FOCUSfactor brand is strengthened by an independent study to support its claim of improving memory, concentration and focus. FOCUSfactor’s competitors include a wide range of products, from targeted brain-enhancement supplements to indirect competitors such as energy drinks that claim to improve concentration. Our Flat Tummy brand competes in well-established segments with a diverse range of competition both domestically and internationally.

Government Regulation

Domestic (United States) Overview

The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products in the United States are subject to regulation by several agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and by various agencies and programs of the states and localities in which our products are sold. The FDA, which exercises regulatory authority over foods, dietary supplements (a subset of the foods category), and cosmetics, is the primary U.S. regulatory body for the product categories in which we participate within the U.S. market. While the FDA doesn’t mandate pre-approval or registration for dietary supplements or food products, it does stipulate that these items must adhere to current good manufacturing practices (“cGMPs”) and be produced in FDA-registered and audited facilities. Additionally, the FDA exercises regulatory oversight of ingredients and labeling of these products.

All FOCUSfactor products and Flat Tummy products are governed by the FDA regulations in 21 CFR Part 111 (dietary supplements) or 21 CFR Part 117 (foods). Neuragen (NDC 15377-010-04) is a homeopathic product and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy. The FDA is not aware of scientific evidence to support homeopathy as effective. UrgentRx is an over-the-counter (“OTC”) drug, which has specific regulatory requirements, including ingredient and manufacturing requirements. Under the OTC monograph system, selected OTC drugs are generally recognized as safe and effective and do not require the submission and approval of a new drug application. The FDA OTC monographs include well-known ingredients and specific requirements for permitted indications, required warnings and precautions, allowable combinations of ingredients and dosage levels. Products marketed under the OTC monograph system must conform to specific quality, formula and labeling requirements. We do not currently sell UrgentRx.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dietary Supplements and Foods

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act”) to establish a new framework governing the composition, safety, labeling, manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements. Generally, under the FD&C Act, dietary ingredients (i.e., vitamins; minerals; herbs or other botanicals; amino acids; or dietary substances for use by humans to supplement the diet by increasing total dietary intake; or any concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or combination of any of the above) that were marketed in the United States prior to October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying the FDA. “New” dietary ingredients (i.e., dietary ingredients that were not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994) must be the subject of a new dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA unless the ingredient has been “present in the food supply as an article used for food” without being “chemically altered.” A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA evidence of a “history of use or other evidence of safety” establishing that use of the dietary ingredient “will reasonably be expected to be safe.” A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the new dietary ingredient. The FDA may determine that a new dietary ingredient notification does not provide an adequate basis to conclude that a dietary ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe.

Such a determination could prevent the marketing of such dietary ingredient. In 2011 and 2016, the FDA issued draft guidance setting forth recommendations for complying with the new dietary ingredient notification requirement. In 2024, FDA has issued another guidance finalizing New Dietary Ingredient Notification (“NDIN”) procedures and timeframes, noting that other parts of the 2016 draft guidance will be finalized in due time. Although FDA guidance is non-binding and does not establish legally enforceable responsibilities, and companies are free to use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, FDA guidance is a strong indication of the FDA’s view on the topic discussed in the guidance, including its position on enforcement. At this time, the NDIN draft guidance, and finalized timelines and procedures guideline are not anticipated to have a material impact on our operations. As a part of our product development process, ingredients in products are vetted for compliance with FDA’s regulations for dietary supplements. Any ingredient suspected to fall under the NDIN classification is further vetted to confirm the ingredient is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or that the ingredient manufacturer/distributor has submitted NDIN to the FDA.

The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that, in their determination, present an unreasonable health risk to consumers that would make it illegal for us to sell such products. In addition, the FDA could issue consumer warnings with respect to the products or ingredients in such products that we sell. Such actions or warnings could be based on information received through FD&C Act-mandated reporting of serious adverse events.

The Bioterrorism Act, enacted in 2002, is a U.S. federal law aimed at bolstering the nation’s ability to prevent, prepare for, and respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies. Key provisions include mandatory registration of food facilities with the FDA, prior notification of imported food shipments, recordkeeping requirements for food facilities, and the FDA’s authority to administratively detain food products posing serious health risks. This legislation enhanced food safety by facilitating better monitoring of food facilities and imports, improving traceability and recall efforts, and strengthening the FDA’s ability to respond swiftly to potential threats to public health.

In June 2007, pursuant to the authority granted by the FD&C Act as amended by DSHEA, the FDA published detailed current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) regulations that govern the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and holding operations of dietary supplement manufacturers. The cGMP regulations, among other things, imposed significant recordkeeping requirements on manufacturers. The cGMP requirements are in effect for all dietary supplement manufacturers, and the FDA conducts inspections of dietary supplement manufacturers pursuant to these requirements. The failure of a manufacturing facility to comply with the cGMP regulations renders products manufactured in such facility “adulterated,” and subjects such products and the manufacturer to a variety of potential FDA enforcement actions. In addition, the Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”), which was enacted in January 2011, aimed to modernize and strengthen the food safety system by shifting the focus from responding to foodborne illness outbreaks to preventing them. The act granted the FDA new regulatory authority over the way foods are grown, harvested, and processed. It also required food facilities to implement preventive controls to identify and address potential hazards in their operations. FSMA represents a fundamental shift in food safety regulation, emphasizing prevention, risk-based approaches, and enhanced collaboration throughout the food supply chain, which has increased the costs of dietary ingredients and has subjected the suppliers of such ingredients to more rigorous inspections and enforcement. FSMA also requires importers of food, including dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, to conduct verification activities to ensure that the food or ingredients they import meet applicable domestic requirements.

We take several actions to ensure manufacturers we engage comply with the Bioterrorism Act, have implemented FSMA procedures (as applies), and are operating under cGMPs. As is common in our industry, we rely on our third-party suppliers and manufacturers to have policies and procedures that ensure that the products they manufacture and sell to us comply with all applicable regulatory and legislative requirements. Internally, we have a set of supplier onboarding procedures that ensure that the third-party facilities are registered with the FDA and are operating a quality system up to cGMP standards for the respective product category. We make an intentional effort to engage manufacturers that have additional quality certifications and third-party audits, such as food safety certifications under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) or dietary supplement cGMP certifications audited by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), whenever possible. During this onboarding process, the supplier’s history is also researched for any recent recalls, warning letters, or import alerts related to their facility or products manufactured by the supplier. Additionally, each third-party manufacturer is required to enter into a quality agreement with us. This document specifically outlines responsibilities and cGMP/documentation expectations for each party. In general, we also seek representations and warranties, indemnification and/or insurance from our vendors. However, even with adequate insurance and indemnification, any claims of non-compliance could significantly damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products. In addition, the failure of such products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A removal or recall could also result in negative publicity and damage to our reputation which could reduce future demand for our products. In such case, we may attempt to offset any losses related to recalls and removals with reformulated or alternative products; however, there can be no assurance that we would be able to offset all or any portion of losses related to any future removal or recall.

The FD&C Act permits structure/function claims to be included in labels and labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-market approval. However, companies must have substantiation that the claims are “truthful and not misleading,” and must submit a notification with the text of the claims to the FDA no later than 30 days after marketing the dietary supplement with the claims. Permissible structure/function claims may describe how a particular nutrient or dietary ingredient affects the structure, function, or general well-being of the body, or characterize the documented mechanism of action by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such structure or function. The label or labeling of a product marketed as a dietary supplement may not expressly or implicitly represent that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease (i.e., a disease claim). If the FDA determines that a particular structure/function claim is an unacceptable disease claim that causes the product to be regulated as a drug, a conventional food claim, or an unauthorized version of a “health claim,” or, if the FDA determines that a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading in any particular way, we would be prevented from using the claim and would have to update our product labels and labeling accordingly. We have an in-house regulatory team that reviews the scientific literature and develops substantiation as part of the product development process to ensure the crafting of compliant structure-function claims and product positioning. Our regulatory team engages in the review of web copy, e-commerce copy, and other marketing copy at the request of the brand directors of each respective brand.

In addition, DSHEA provides that so-called “third-party literature,” e.g., “a publication, including an article, a chapter in a book, or an official abstract of a peer-reviewed scientific publication that appears in an article and was prepared by the author or the editors of the publication” supplements, when reprinted in its entirety, may be used “in connection with the sale of a dietary supplement to consumers” without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. Such literature: (1) must not be false or misleading; (2) may not “promote” a particular manufacturer or brand of dietary supplement; (3) must present a balanced view or is displayed or presented with other such items on the same subject matter so as to present a balanced view of the available scientific information; (4) if displayed in an establishment, must be physically separate from the dietary supplements; and (5) should not have appended to it any information by sticker or any other method. If the literature fails to satisfy each of these requirements, we may be prevented from disseminating such literature with our products, and any continued dissemination could subject our product to regulatory action as an illegal drug.

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements, including powers to issue a public warning or notice of violation letter to a company, publicize information about illegal products, detain products intended for import, require the reporting of serious adverse events, require a recall of illegal or unsafe products from the market, and request the Department of Justice to initiate a seizure action, an injunction action or a criminal prosecution in United States courts.

Federal Trade Commission

The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of all products, including foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics, and requires that all advertising to consumers be truthful and non-misleading. The FTC actively monitors the dietary supplement space and has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims or practices. These enforcement actions have resulted in consent decrees and significant monetary judgments against the companies and/or individuals involved. Regulators require a company to convey product claims clearly and accurately and further require marketers to maintain adequate substantiation for their claims. More specifically, the FTC requires such substantiation to be based upon competent and reliable scientific evidence and requires a company to have a reasonable basis for the expressed and implied product claim before it disseminates an advertisement. A reasonable basis is determined based on the claims made, how the claims are presented in the context of the entire advertisement, and how the claims are qualified. The FTC’s standard for evaluating substantiation is designed to ensure that consumers are protected from false and/or misleading claims by requiring scientific substantiation of product claims at the time such claims are first made. The failure to have this substantiation violates the Federal Trade Commission Act.

Foreign

Our products sold in foreign countries are also subject to regulation under various national, local, and international laws that include provisions governing, among other things, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, testing, advertising, and distribution of these products within their respective categories. Some foreign entities categorize these products/formulations as “Medicines” or subsets of a medicinal category instead of as “food supplements” or “dietary supplements”, based on the regionally-specific regulations and the nature of the product. Government regulations in foreign countries may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of our products.

In foreign markets, our regulatory department works with an in-country regulatory consultant group to guide us through the regulatory process needed to launch our product in a particular country such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. For example, Canada and Australia require a product submission packet and approval from Health Canada (“HC”) and the TGA, respectively, for products that would be considered “Natural Health Products” (in Canada) or “Listed Medicines” (in Australia). In the United Kingdom, on the other hand, no formal regulatory submission or pre-approval is needed for products within the food supplement category. Launch timing varies by country. In the United States and United Kingdom, once a formula is established and labeling has been approved by our regulatory and legal advisors, the product can be launched upon production. The Australian approval process generally takes four to eight weeks from the time the packet is submitted, while in Canada the approval process can take from six to twelve months from submission.

In Canada, HC has oversight over our FOCUSfactor and Flat Tummy products. Our FOCUSfactor and Flat Tummy products are considered natural health products (“NHPs”) by HC, and each has been issued, so they each have a natural product number (“NPN”) that was assigned by HC upon its review and approval. This applies to all products currently marketed or licensed in Canada, except for the FOCUSfactor energy drinks, which are considered supplemented foods and are not subject to pre-approval. Energy drinks are instead subject to supplemented foods regulations and manufacturing standards.

In the United Kingdom, FOCUSfactor products are considered food supplements that are regulated by the Food Standards Agency (“FSA”). There is no requirement for licensing or registering food supplement products in the United Kingdom. Products must comply with relevant food law, which include formulation/ingredient restrictions, specific labeling requirements, and other parameters. Brexit has introduced significant challenges for the sale of food supplements from the UK into the EU. These challenges primarily stem from regulatory misalignment and new border controls. Previously, products could be freely traded within the EU under harmonized regulations, but now, UK-based supplements must adhere to separate EU regulations to be sold in the European market. This necessitates costly and time-consuming compliance efforts, including product testing and re-labelling. Additionally, customs procedures and tariffs introduced post-Brexit have further impeded the flow of goods, increasing costs for businesses and potentially limiting consumer access to certain products. Flat Tummy products are not currently sold in the United Kingdom.

In Australia, FOCUSfactor products are “Listed Medicines” that are regulated by the TGA and require an AUST L (Australia Listed Medicine) number. Listed Medicines are regulated by the TGA, and the advertising of these products is also regulated by the TGA under the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code (“TGAC”). Flat Tummy products are not currently sold in Australia.

New Legislation or Regulation

Legislation may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory requirements on dietary supplements. We cannot determine what effect additional domestic or international governmental legislation, regulations, or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. New legislation or regulations may require the reformulation or revised labeling of certain products to meet new standards, require the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, or impose additional record keeping or submission requirements. Moreover, emerging or future regulations might introduce additional challenges beyond those currently foreseen, further affecting the industry landscape.

Fragmented state-level regulations develop in the United States from time-to-time. One such bill, the New York Weight Loss Products Bill, effective as of April 22, 2024, imposes stricter regulations on weight loss and athletic performance products. Among its provisions, it requires manufacturers to implement age verification measures for the sale of consumers in the state of New York. Despite its passage, opposition from industry trade groups persists, citing concerns over its impact on the dietary supplement industry. Another noteworthy and continuously-evolving state-level regulation is Proposition 65, which is a California initiative that governs the presence of some chemicals and associated warnings and is managed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA).

On a federal level in the United States, repeated legislative attempts have been made within the last several years to introduce a mandatory product listing (MPL) for the dietary supplement industry through the FDA, which would require notification to the FDA before bringing a product to the market and for label information to be submitted to and maintained in a central database. While the most recent MPL attempt failed in 2022, the FDA’s outlined budget and legislative proposals for 2026 continue to include the modernization of DSHEA regulations and the introduction of an MPL. Several trade association groups within the dietary supplement industry continue to express opposition to the current proposal, citing a clear lack of scope and definition of what it ultimately may require.

In Canada, Health Canada is in the process of reviewing and updating the database of ingredient and product monographs. While this effort is considerably focused on the clarification and harmonization of existing monographs and resources, the changing of certain ingredient monographs may have the potential to impact formulation or labeling, if any such ingredient is included in one of our licensed products. If this does occur, Health Canada is expected to provide phase-in and guidance for any such changes. Health Canada has also provided updated labeling formatting for NHPs, with a compliance date for existing products of 2028. Concurrently, Health Canada is in the consultation period for an updated fee schedule for Health Canada-related activities, such as the review of product submission packets, site licensing, and other activities relevant to maintaining operations and regulatory compliance in Canada. These discussions are still ongoing, but present potential additional future expenses to companies with natural health product registrations in the Canadian regions, as well as manufacturers or importers of such products. The benefit of this proposed pay scheme is that it may significantly reduce the number of product submissions from other companies in the Canadian market, which may reduce competition in the Canadian market and perhaps reduce review timelines by Health Canada for new product registrations and other such activities, therefore decreasing the time barrier to entry. 

Intellectual Property

We own 27 trademarks that have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and have filed applications to register additional trademarks. In addition, we claim domestic trademark and service mark rights in numerous additional marks that we use. We own a number of trademark registrations in countries outside the United States. Federally registered trademarks in the United States have a perpetual life, as long as they are maintained and renewed on a timely basis and used properly as trademarks, subject to the rights of third parties to seek cancellation of the trademarks if they claim priority or confusion of usage. Most foreign trademark offices use similar trademark renewal processes. We regard our trademarks and other proprietary rights as valuable assets and believe they make a significant positive contribution to the marketing of our products.

We protect our legal rights concerning our trademarks by appropriate measures, which may include legal action. We possess a portfolio of both registered and unregistered (i.e., common law) trademarks. In certain circumstances, we seek and obtain registrations for our trademarks, which may confer certain advantages, and the decision to register a trademark is made on a case-by-case basis. We have registered and intend to register certain trademarks in certain limited jurisdictions outside the United States where our products are sold, but we may not register all or even some of our trademarks in every country in which we conduct business or intend to conduct business.

We owned U.S. Patent 8,329,227 covering FOCUSfactor’s proprietary formulation “for enhanced mental function.” This patent was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in December 2012 and expired in April 2025.

In addition to this intellectual property, we also rely on our proprietary knowledge and ongoing technological innovation to develop a competitive position in the market for our products. Each of our patents and know-how are integral to the conduct of our business and the loss of any could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Human Capital Management

We recognize that attracting, motivating and retaining passionate talent at all levels is vital to continuing our success. By improving employee retention and engagement, we also improve our ability to support our customers and protect the long-term interests of our stakeholders and stockholders. We invest in our employees through continuously improving benefits and various health and wellness initiatives, and offer competitive compensation packages, working to continuously improve fairness in internal compensation practices.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 28 full-time employees. We believe that the employer-employee relationships in our Company are positive. We have no labor union contracts.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and all of the other information contained in this Annual Report before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business, results of operations and cash flows. Some statements in this Annual Report, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Industry

We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively could materially and adversely affect our sales and growth prospects.

The U.S. nutritional supplements retail industry is a large and highly fragmented industry with few barriers to entry. We compete against other domestic and international manufacturers, specialty retailers, mass merchants, multi-level marketing organizations, mail-order and direct-to-consumer companies, and e-commerce companies. This market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. As certain products become more mainstream, with broader distribution, we may experience increased competition for those products. Increased competition from companies that distribute through retail, e-commerce or wholesale channels could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Certain of our competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, and may be able to adapt to changes in consumer preferences more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, or generate greater brand recognition. In addition, our competitors may be more effective and efficient in introducing new products. Furthermore, if we fail to maximize the efficiency of our ship direct to customers strategies, or fail to provide our customers with an attractive omni-channel experience, our business, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. We may not be able to compete effectively, and any of the factors listed above may cause price reductions, reduced margins and losses of our market share.

Our failure to appropriately respond to changing consumer preferences and demand for new products or product enhancements could significantly harm our relationship with customers and our product sales, as well as our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our business is subject to changing consumer trends and preferences, including rapid and frequent changes in demand for products, new product introductions and enhancements. Our failure to accurately predict these trends could negatively impact consumer opinion of our products, which in turn could harm our customer relationships and cause the loss of sales. The success of our new product offerings and enhancements depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

If we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers in a timely manner, some of our products could be rendered obsolete, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

We depend on a small number of large retailers for a significant portion of our sales. Our sales growth is dependent upon maintaining our relationships with existing customers, and the loss of any one such customer could materially adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Certain retailers make up a significant percentage of our products’ retail volume. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our top two customers accounted for 79% of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our top two customers accounted for 73% of our revenue. We sell products to our customers under their standard vendor agreements. These vendor agreements do not include a term or duration as sales under each vendor agreement are generally made on a purchase order basis, and do not include any termination provisions. The loss of sales of any of our products in a major retailer, or the reduction of purchasing levels or the cancellation of any business from a major retailer, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. In addition, if we were to lose one or more of these retailers as a distribution channel for our products, we can make no assurances that we will be able to find a comparable retailer to replace such relationship or that we will be able to find a replacement at all, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition, and operating results.

If our outside suppliers and manufacturers fail to supply products in sufficient quantities and in a timely fashion, our business could suffer.

Contract manufacturers produce all of our products. Our contract manufacturers acquire all of the raw materials for manufacturing our products from third-party suppliers. We also depend on outside suppliers for the packaging materials for our products. In the event we were to lose any significant suppliers or contract manufacturers and have trouble in finding or transitioning to alternative suppliers or manufacturers, it could result in product shortages or product back orders, which could harm our business. There can be no assurance that suppliers will be able to provide our contract manufacturers the raw materials in the quantities and at the appropriate level of quality that we request or at a price that we are willing to pay. We are also subject to delays caused by any interruption in the production of these materials including weather, disease, crop conditions, climate change, transportation interruptions and natural disasters or other catastrophic events. Our profit margins and timely product delivery are dependent upon the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to supply us with products in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Our ability to enter new markets and sustain satisfactory levels of sales in each market depends on the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to provide required levels of ingredients and products and to comply with all applicable regulations. The failure of our outside suppliers or manufacturers to supply ingredients or produce our products could materially adversely affect our business operations. We believe we have dependable suppliers for all of our ingredients, and we have identified alternative suppliers and manufacturers for all of our ingredients and products. If our suppliers are unable to perform, any delay in replacing or substituting such ingredients could adversely affect our business.

While our exposure to international markets and foreign sourcing is limited, we may still be indirectly affected by global trade developments.

We primarily operate within the United States, and in 2025 and 2024, international sales accounted for 10.1% and 11.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. We purchase only finished goods from third-party manufacturers and do not engage in the direct sourcing of raw materials. This structure limits our direct exposure to international markets, tariffs, and global supply chain disruptions.

However, because our manufacturers may source raw materials from abroad, changes in international trade policies, tariffs, or geopolitical tensions could still affect our supply chain and cost of goods. Any disruptions or cost increases experienced by our manufacturers may impact the availability or pricing of the products we purchase. While our current structure mitigates many of the risks associated with global sourcing, we cannot eliminate the possibility that future global events or trade policies may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A downturn in the economy could affect consumer purchases of discretionary items such as the health and wellness products that we offer, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows.

We offer a broad selection of health and wellness products. A downturn in the economy could adversely impact consumer purchases of discretionary items such as health and wellness products. The United States and global economies may slow dramatically as a result of a variety of factors, including turmoil in the credit and financial markets, concerns regarding the stability and viability of major financial institutions, the state of the housing markets, and volatility in worldwide stock markets. In the event of such economic downturn, the U.S. and global economies could become significantly challenged in a recessionary state for an indeterminate period of time. Inflation or other changes in economic conditions that negatively affect demand for discretionary items could adversely affect our revenue. These economic conditions could cause many of our existing and potential customers to delay or reduce purchases of our products for some time, which in turn could harm our business by adversely affecting our revenues, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. We cannot predict these economic conditions or the impact they would have on our consumers or business.

Adverse or negative publicity could cause our business to suffer.

Our business depends, in part, on the public’s perception of our integrity and the safety and quality of our products. Any adverse publicity could negatively affect the public’s perception about our industry, our products, or our reputation and could result in a significant decline in our operations. Specifically, we are susceptible to adverse or negative publicity regarding:

We continue to explore new strategic initiatives, but we may not be able to successfully execute on, or realize the expected benefits from, the implementation of our strategic initiatives, and our pursuit of new strategic initiatives may pose significant costs and risks.

Our strategic initiatives are focused on, among other things, new product acquisition, new customer acquisition, improving the customer experience through the roll-out of initiatives including increasing customer engagement and personalization, improving the omni-channel experience (including in stores as well as through the internet and mobile devices), providing a relevant and inspiring product assortment and improving customer loyalty and retention. We also continually evaluate acquisition opportunities that we believe fit well within our brand portfolio and create value for our stockholders. Our future operating results are dependent, in part, on our management’s success in implementing these and other strategic initiatives, and as a result could divert management’s attention from our existing business as management focuses on developing these initiatives and related operations. Also, our short-term operating results could be unfavorably impacted by the opportunity and financial costs associated with the implementation of our strategic plans or the completion of any acquisitions, and we might not realize the benefits from such strategies. In addition, we may not be successful in achieving the intended objectives of the strategic initiatives (including acquisitions) in a timely manner or at all. We may choose to fund any acquisitions by way of (i) debt, which would subject us to additional covenant obligations and liquidity constraints, (ii) cash, which could divert working capital away from our existing business, or (iii) equity, which would result in dilution for existing stockholders, or any combination of the foregoing. There can also be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt on favorable terms, or at all.

As has been the case with our historical acquisition transactions, future business combinations could involve the acquisition of significant tangible and intangible assets, which could require us to record ongoing amortization expense with respect to identified intangible assets acquired. In addition, we may need to record write-downs from future impairments of identified tangible and intangible assets and goodwill. These and other similar accounting charges would reduce any future earnings or increase any losses. In future acquisitions, we could also incur debt to pay for acquisitions or issue additional equity securities as consideration, either of which could cause our stockholders to suffer significant dilution. Additionally, our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards, if any, acquired in any acquisitions may be significantly limited or unusable by us under Section 382 or other sections of the Internal Revenue Code (as has been the case with our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the acquisition of Breakthrough Products, Inc.).

Current and future acquisitions may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful, and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

As part of our growth strategy, we have a history of pursuing acquisitions of companies with products that are similar or complementary to those that we provide in our businesses to better leverage our existing, scalable infrastructure, and may continue to pursue this strategy in the future. These acquisitions may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquired businesses into our company, and therefore, we may not be able to realize the intended benefits of an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. These acquisitions could result in difficulties integrating acquired operations, technologies, and personnel into our business. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, operational, and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or employer customers acquired through these acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration efforts. These acquisitions could also harm our results of operations if it is subsequently determined that goodwill or other acquired intangible assets are impaired, thus resulting in an impairment charge in a future period.

In addition, these acquisitions involve risks that the acquired businesses will not perform in accordance with expectations, that we may become liable for unforeseen financial or business liabilities of the acquired businesses, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare regulations, that the expected synergies associated with acquisitions will not be achieved, and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths, and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The nutritional supplement industry increasingly relies on intellectual property rights and although we seek to ensure that we do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us, which claims may result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Our inability to acquire, protect or maintain our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete or grow.

Recently it has become more and more common for suppliers and competitors to apply for patents or develop proprietary technologies and processes. We seek to ensure that we do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, but there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us. These developments could prevent us from offering or supplying competitive products or ingredients in the marketplace. They could also result in litigation or threatened litigation against us related to alleged or actual infringement of third-party rights. If an infringement claim is asserted or litigation is pursued, we may be required to obtain a license of rights, pay royalties on a retrospective or prospective basis or terminate our manufacturing and marketing of our products that are alleged to have infringed. Litigation with respect to such matters could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have numerous U.S. and foreign trademarks and service marks. There can be no assurance that the protection afforded by these trademarks and service marks will provide us with a competitive advantage or that we will be able to assert our intellectual property rights in infringement actions. We may be required to defend our intellectual property against such infringement, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources. In addition, results of such litigation are difficult to predict and if we are not successful in defending our intellectual property rights, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we are not able to adequately prevent disclosure of proprietary knowledge, the value of our products could be materially diminished.

Trade secrets are difficult to protect. We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary knowledge, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable, or where such patents would be difficult to enforce. We rely in part on confidentiality agreements to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary knowledge. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that may have had access to our proprietary knowledge, or that such agreements, even if in place, will not be circumvented. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of proprietary knowledge and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of such information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary knowledge, in which case we may have no right to prevent them from using such trade secrets or proprietary knowledge to compete with us. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

International expansion will subject our business to additional economic and operational risks that could increase our costs and make it difficult to operate profitably.

One of our key growth strategies is to pursue international expansion. Expansion of our international operations may require significant expenditure of financial and management resources and result in increased administrative and compliance costs. As a result of such expansion, we will be increasingly subject to the risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including:

As a result of these risks, we may be required to incur higher than expected costs to implement or we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of our international strategy. If we are unsuccessful in this international expansion, we would be required to reevaluate our growth strategy, and we may have incurred substantial expenses and devoted significant management time and resources in pursuing international growth.

We may experience product recalls, withdrawals or seizures, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may be subject to product recalls, withdrawals or seizures if any of the products we sell are believed to cause injury or illness or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations in the manufacturing, labeling, promotion, sale or distribution of those products. A significant recall, withdrawal or seizure of any of the products we manufacture or sell may require significant management attention, would likely result in substantial and unexpected costs and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, a recall, withdrawal or seizure of any of our products may adversely affect consumer confidence in our brands and thus decrease consumer demand for our products. As is common in the nutritional supplements industry, we rely on our contract manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that the products they manufacture and sell to us comply with all applicable regulatory and legislative requirements. In general, we seek representations and warranties, indemnification and/or insurance from our contract manufacturers and suppliers. However, even with adequate insurance and indemnification, any claims of non-compliance could significantly damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products. In addition, the failure of those products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Increases in the price or shortages of supply of key raw materials could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our products are composed of certain key raw materials. If the prices of these raw materials were to increase significantly, it could result in a significant increase to us in the prices charged to us. Raw material prices may increase in the future, and we may not be able to pass on those increases to customers who purchase our products. A significant increase in the price of raw materials that cannot be passed on to customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are subject to credit risk.

We are exposed to credit risk primarily on our accounts receivable. We provide credit to our customers in the ordinary course of our business and perform ongoing credit evaluations. While we believe that our exposure to concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by our large retail partner base, and we make allowances for doubtful accounts, we nevertheless run the risk of our customers not being able to meet their payment obligations, particularly in a future economic downturn. If a material number of our customers were not able to meet their payment obligations, our results of operations and cash flows could be harmed.

Natural disasters and unusually adverse weather conditions could cause permanent or temporary damage to our distribution centers, impair our ability to purchase, receive or replenish inventory or cause customer traffic to decline, all of which could result in lost sales and otherwise materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, high winds and other severe weather, could materially and adversely affect our operations, results of operations and cash flows. To the extent these events result in the suspension of shipping by our distributors, closure of our corporate headquarters, or a significant number of the stores in which our products are sold, or to the extent they adversely affect one or more of our key suppliers, our operations and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected through an inability to make deliveries to stores and through lost sales. In addition, these events could result in increases in fuel (or other energy) prices or a fuel shortage, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, the temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of products from suppliers, delay in the delivery of goods to our distribution centers or stores, the temporary reduction in the availability of products in our stores and disruption to our information systems, as noted above. These events also could have indirect consequences, such as increases in the cost of insurance, if they were to result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage.

Loss of key vendor relationships or failure of a vendor to protect our data or confidential and proprietary information could affect our operations.

We rely on services and products provided by many vendors in the United States and abroad. These include, for example, outsourcing of manufacturing services. In the event that any vendor suffers a bankruptcy or otherwise becomes unable to continue to provide products or services, or fails to protect our confidential, proprietary, or other information, we may suffer operational impairments and financial losses. In addition, while we generally monitor vendor risk, including the security and stability of our critical vendors, we may fail to properly assess and understand the risks and costs involved in the third-party relationships, and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

We anticipate that we will continue to rely on third-party vendors in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party vendors we currently utilize, this may not always be the case, or they may be difficult or costly to replace. In addition, integration of new third-party vendors may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Our use of additional or alternative third-party vendors would require us to enter into agreements with third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Many of the risks associated with the use of third-party vendors cannot be eliminated, and these risks could negatively affect our business.

Our e-commerce business is dependent on certain third parties. Changes in business practices or terms by such third parties could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our e-commerce business has several third-party relationships that contribute to our ability to generate revenue from a variety of online sources. These relationships may be dependent upon third-party tools, such as search engines, established business terms negotiated by us, or utilization of third-party marketplaces. If the economics of these relationships or the use of the third-party tools used to drive revenue change materially, this could affect our decision to maintain these relationships, and could result in lost sales and otherwise materially and adversely affect our financial performance.

If we do not successfully develop and maintain a relevant omni-channel experience for our customers, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Omni-channel retailing is rapidly evolving, and we must keep pace with changing customer expectations and new developments by our competitors. Our customers are increasingly using computers, tablets, mobile phones, and other devices to shop online. As part of our omni-channel strategy, we have made and will continue to make technology investments to expand our online distribution. If we are unable to make, improve, or develop relevant customer-facing technology in a timely manner, our ability to compete and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if our e-commerce businesses or our other customer-facing technology systems do not function as designed, we may experience a loss of customer confidence, lost sales, or data security breaches, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Our officers and directors have the ability to significantly influence or control matters requiring a stockholder vote, and other stockholders may not have the ability to influence corporate transactions.

Currently, our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 43% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, they have the ability to determine the outcome on all matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.

We are highly dependent on our management team, and the loss of our senior executive officers or other key employees could harm our ability to implement our strategies, impair our relationships with customers and adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth prospects.

Our success depends, in a large degree, on the skills of our management team and our ability to retain, recruit and motivate key officers and employees. Our active senior executive leadership team, including Jack Ross and Jaime Fickett, have significant experience, and their knowledge and relationships would be difficult to replace. Leadership changes will occur from time to time, and we cannot predict whether significant resignations will occur or whether we will be able to recruit additional qualified personnel. Competition for senior executives and skilled personnel in our industry is intense, which means the cost of hiring, paying incentives and retaining skilled personnel may continue to increase.

We need to continue to attract and retain key personnel and to recruit qualified individuals to succeed existing key personnel to ensure the continued growth and successful operation of our business. In addition, we must attract and retain qualified personnel to continue to grow our business, and competition for such personnel can be intense. Our ability to effectively compete for senior executives and other qualified personnel by offering competitive compensation and benefit arrangements may be restricted by cash flow and other operational restraints. The loss of the services of any senior executive or other key personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, to attract and retain personnel with appropriate skills and knowledge to support our business, we may offer a variety of benefits, which could reduce our earnings or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. Due to the political uncertainty involving Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East, there is an increased likelihood that escalation of tensions could result in cyber-attacks that could either directly or indirectly impact our business and lead to financial loss.

Our existing indebtedness may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional funds and may increase our vulnerability to economic or business downturns.

We are subject to a number of risks associated with our indebtedness, including: (1) we must dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations to pay debt service costs, and therefore we have less funds available for operations and other purposes; (2) it may be more difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financings, if available at all; (3) we are more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations in interest rates, less able to withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes in our industry and general economic conditions; and (4) if we default under any of our existing loans or if our creditors demand payment of a portion or all of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient funds to make such payments. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our outstanding current liabilities were approximately $8.3 million and $17.2 million, respectively.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, and our failure to do so could restrict our operations or adversely affect our ability to operate and continue our business. There is no guarantee that we will successfully raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all and if and when we need it.

If we need to raise additional capital in the future for any reason, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, and any additional financings may result in additional dilution to holders of the common stock. For instance, debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, expending capital, or declaring dividends, or which impose financial covenants on us that limit our ability to achieve our business objectives. Additionally, if we enter into secured debt arrangements, we could be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations, which could negatively impact the business or cause the business to be discontinued. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to meet our business objectives and be unable to continue operating as a going concern.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, which may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements and could have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our common stock.

As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting, to report any material weaknesses in such internal control, and provide management’s attestation on internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of an entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If we are unable to establish or maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting or implement these requirements in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, failure to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, increases in compliance costs, and subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, all of which may adversely affect investor confidence and the value of our common stock.

As discussed below in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” our management identified material weaknesses in implementation of segregation of duties and establishment of clearly defined roles within our finance and accounting functions. Moreover, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to the material weaknesses. The material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements to our consolidated financial statements or any changes to previously filed financial statements, and management has concluded that our financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report, and other periodic filings, fairly present our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

We are committed to remediating the material weaknesses described above and continuing remediation efforts during 2026. We intend to initiate and implement several remediation measures including, but not limited to clearly define roles and responsibilities. As part of its remediation measures, to date, we have investigated additional procedures we can implement for segregation. While our efforts are ongoing, we plan to continue to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses, improve our financial reporting systems, and implement new policies, procedures, and controls; however, we cannot guarantee those measures will prevent or detect material weaknesses in the future. If we fail to remediate the material weaknesses or any future deficiencies, or fail to otherwise maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, that could result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods, a decline in the market price of our common stock, one or more investigations or enforcement actions by state or federal regulatory agencies, stockholder lawsuits, or other adverse actions requiring us to incur defense costs or pay fines, settlements, or judgments.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Our products are subject to government regulation, both in the United States and abroad, which could increase our costs significantly and limit or prevent the sale of our products.

The manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous national and local governmental agencies in the United States and other countries. The primary regulatory bodies in the United States are the FDA and FTC, and we are also subject to similar regulatory bodies in all the countries in which we do business. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in various types of penalties or fines. These include injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. Individual U.S. states also regulate nutritional supplements. A state may seek to interpret claims or products presumptively valid under federal law as illegal under that state’s regulations. For example, in February 2015, the New York Attorney General issued cease and desist letters to several national retailers regarding certain herbal supplements, and since that time both the New York Attorney General and other states’ Attorneys General have engaged in inquiries regarding the manufacture and sale of various supplements, and pursuant to such inquiries could seek to take actions against industry participants or amend applicable regulations in their state. In markets outside the United States, we are usually required to obtain approvals, licenses, or certifications from a country’s ministry of health or comparable agency, as well as labeling and packaging regulations, all of which vary from country to country. Approvals or licensing may be conditioned on reformulation of products or may be unavailable with respect to certain products or product ingredients. Any of these government agencies, as well as legislative bodies, can change existing regulations, or impose new ones, or could take aggressive measures, causing or contributing to a variety of negative consequences, including:

Any or all of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance that the regulatory environment in which we operate will not change or that such regulatory environment, or any specific action taken against us, will not result in a material adverse effect on us.

Congress and/or regulatory agencies may impose additional laws or regulations or change current laws or regulations, and state attorneys general may increase enforcement of existing or new laws, and compliance with new or changed governmental regulations, or any state attorney proceeding, could increase our costs significantly and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time, Congress, the FDA, the FTC, or other federal, state, local or foreign legislative and regulatory authorities may impose additional laws or regulations that apply to us, repeal laws or regulations that we consider favorable to us or impose more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations. We are not able to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, repeals or interpretations or to predict the effect that additional governmental regulation, when and if it occurs, would have on our business in the future. Those developments could require reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of certain products (including products that we sell) not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, adverse event reporting or other new requirements. For example, in recent years, the FDA has issued warning letters to several cosmetic companies alleging improper claims regarding their cosmetic products. If the FDA determines that we have disseminated inappropriate drug claims for our products intended to be sold as cosmetics, we could receive a warning or untitled letter, be required to modify our product claims or take other actions to satisfy the FDA. Any developments of this nature could increase our costs significantly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our failure to comply with regulations could result in substantial monetary penalties and could adversely affect our operating results.

The marketing and labeling of any food product in recent years has brought increased risk that consumers will bring class action lawsuits and that the FTC and/or state attorneys general will bring legal action concerning the truth and accuracy of the marketing and labeling of the product, seek removal of a product from the marketplace, and/or impose fines and penalties. Products that we sell carry express or implied statements relating to the ingredients or health and wellness related attributes of our products. For example, in May 2017, we were one of 45 brands that were warned by the FTC regarding influencer promotion of products on Instagram. The FTC warned the companies and influencers that any sponsored posts for a product must use clear language indicating that the post is a paid sponsorship. The lack of regulatory definition for many label statements has contributed to legal challenges against many supplements companies, and plaintiffs have commenced legal actions against several nutritional supplement companies, asserting false, misleading and deceptive advertising and labeling claims. As a result of such legal or regulatory challenges, consumers may avoid purchasing products from us or seek alternatives, even if the basis for the claim is unfounded.

The FTC has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims. Failure by us to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Even when unmerited, class claims, action by the FTC or state attorneys general enforcement actions can be expensive to defend and adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential customers and consumers and our corporate and brand image, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The number of private consumer class actions relating to false or deceptive advertising against nutritional supplement companies has increased in recent years. In addition, the FDA has aggressively enforced its regulations with respect to different types of product claims that may or may not be made for food products. These events could interrupt the marketing and sales of our products, severely damage our brand reputation and public image, increase our legal expenses, result in product recalls or litigation, and impede our ability to deliver our products in sufficient quantities or quality, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may experience product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims, and although we maintain product liability insurance, which we believe to be adequate for our needs, there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that we will be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage in the future. In addition, we may be subject to consumer fraud claims, including consumer class action claims regarding product labeling and advertising, and litigation to prosecute such claims; these claims are generally not covered by insurance.

We could face financial liability from product liability claims if the use of our products results in significant loss or injury. We can make no assurances that we will not be exposed to any future product liability claims. Such claims may include claims that our products contain contaminants or that we fail to provide or provide inadequate warnings concerning side effects or interactions of our products with other substances. Such claims may result in substantial settlement amounts or judgments against us, and may also require us to incur additional costs to change the packaging of our products to include adequate warning language or subject our products to additional testing. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or ultimate outcome, could result in:

In addition, consumer fraud claims, including consumer class action claims regarding product labeling and advertising, are increasingly common as to food and dietary supplement products. If we face such claims, we may be forced to defend the action in the applicable courts. If such claims are found to be correct, this would have a material adverse effect on us and our reputation.

We carry insurance coverage in the types and amounts that we consider reasonably adequate to cover the risks we face from product liability claims. If insurance coverage is inadequate or unavailable or premium costs continue to rise, we may face additional claims not covered by insurance, and claims that exceed coverage limits or that are not covered could have a material adverse effect on us. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event may in addition to increasing our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles, make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future. Because insurance is generally hard to obtain for such claims, these could have a material adverse effect on us.

We may experience Lanham Act claims by competitors, and litigation to prosecute such claims.

The Lanham Act empowers competitors to file suit regarding any promotional statements that the competitor believes to be false or misleading. If a competitor prevails, it could obtain monetary damages, including potentially treble damages and attorneys’ fees. A court can also order corrective advertising, or even a product recall if the offending claims are found on the product’s packaging and labeling. If we experience a Lanham Act claim filed against us, this could have a material adverse effect on us and on our products’ reputation.

If we fail to protect the integrity and security of customer-related and other confidential information, we could be exposed to litigation, increased costs and reputational damage, and our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The use of individually identifiable data by us, our customers, and others is regulated at the state, federal and international levels. Privacy and information security laws and regulations change from time to time, and there may not always be clear guidance from the respective governments and regulators regarding the interpretation of these laws and regulations, which may create the risk of an inadvertent violation. In addition, the increasing costs of compliance with those laws and regulations and related technology investments could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, the success of our e-commerce operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, including the use of cashless payments, and we use computers in substantially all other aspects of our business operations. Such uses give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. While we have taken significant steps to protect customers’ personal information, consumer preferences and credit card information, and other confidential information, including our employees’ private information and financial and strategic data about the Company and our business partners, our suppliers or others may undermine our security measures. As a result, unauthorized parties may obtain access to our data systems and misappropriate confidential data. Furthermore, because the methods used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and may not be immediately detected, we may be unable to anticipate these methods or implement preventative measures, and our incident response efforts may not be entirely effective. Any preventative measures we implement may have the potential to negatively affect our relations with our customers or decrease activity on our websites or apps by making them less user-friendly. If our data security is compromised, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, materially increase the costs we incur to protect against those events in the future and subject us to additional legal risk and a competitive disadvantage and damage to our brand reputation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to stop using our websites or apps. We are reliant on third-party electronic payment systems and platforms, such as PayPal, Stripe, Amazon Pay, Afterpay, Tik-Tok and Shopify Payments, not only to protect the security of the information stored, but also to appropriately track and record data. Any failures or inadequacies in these third-party systems, even if unrelated to our business, could result in significant liability, could materially and adversely affect our reputation and business and could cause government agencies to enact additional regulatory requirements or to modify their enforcement or investigation activities.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

U.S. GAAP and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, trade promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

There is a limited trading market for the Company’s common stock; it may be difficult to sell shares.

The trading volume in our common stock has been relatively limited. Even if a more active market develops, there can be no assurance that a more active and liquid trading market for the common stock will exist in the future. Consequently, shareholders may not be able to sell a substantial number of shares for the same price at which shareholders could sell a smaller number of shares. In addition, we cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of its common stock in the market, or the availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market, will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or the potential for large amounts of sales in the market, could cause the price of our common stock to decline, or reduce our ability to expand our business by using our common stock as consideration in an acquisition. The lack of liquidity of the investment in the common shares should be carefully considered when making an investment decision.

The price of our common stock may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price paid.

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate higher or lower, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or the stock market, in general, experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, results of operations, or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

You may be diluted by future issuances of common stock in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise; future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its sole discretion. We could issue a significant number of shares of common stock in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price for the shares of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to repay indebtedness and to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board considering various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitations on our ability to pay dividends under our loan agreements or otherwise. As a result, if our Board does not declare and pay dividends, the capital appreciation in the price of our common stock, if any, will be your only source of gain on an investment in our common stock, and you may have to sell some or all of your common stock to generate cash flow from your investment.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common stock, its trading price and volume could decline.

We expect the trading market for our common stock to be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business or our industry. As a new public company, we do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline and our common stock to be less liquid. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations involves significant legal and financial compliance costs, may make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.

We may be subject to additional regulatory burdens resulting from our recent public listing.

We are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems to manage our obligations as a newly public company listed on Nasdaq. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on Nasdaq will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict the amount of the additional costs that we might incur, the timing of such costs or the impact that management’s attention to these matters will have on our business.

The existence of indemnification rights held by our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenses.

Our articles of incorporation allow for us to, and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we are obligated to, indemnify each of our directors or officers to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law and, subject to certain conditions, advance the expenses incurred by any director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition. Those indemnification obligations could expose us to substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against our directors or officers, which we may be unable to afford. Further, those provisions and resulting costs may discourage us or our stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against any of our current or former directors or officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, even if such actions might otherwise benefit our stockholders.

Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.

Though not now, we may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada’s control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for the redemption of such stockholder’s shares.

Nevada’s control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the corporation.

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for two years after the “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance or thereafter by both the board of directors and 60% of the disinterested stockholders. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

We may experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and taxes in certain other non-U.S. jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations and administrative practices in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without advance notice, due to economic, political and other conditions, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes. There are many transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our effective tax rates could be affected by numerous factors, such as changes in tax, accounting and other laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles and interpretations, the mix and level of earnings in a given taxing jurisdiction or our ownership or capital structures. For example, the United States government may enact significant changes to the taxation of business entities including, among others, an increase in the corporate income tax rate, an increase in the tax rate applicable to certain income earned overseas and elimination of certain exemptions, and the imposition of minimum taxes or surtaxes on certain types of income. No specific United States tax legislation has been proposed at this time and the likelihood of these changes being enacted or implemented is unclear. We are currently unable to predict whether such changes will occur and, if so, the ultimate impact on our business. We urge investors to consult with their legal and tax advisers regarding implications of potential changes in U.S. tax laws on an investment in our common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a provider of consumer health care, beauty, and lifestyle products. Our current brand portfolio consists of two core brands: FOCUSfactor, a clinically-tested brain health supplement (this study was performed independently and is not related to any FDA-approved IND application) that has been shown to improve memory, concentration and focus and Flat Tummy, a lifestyle brand that provides a suite of nutritional products to help women achieve their weight management goals.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our current business and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Key factors affecting our results of operations include revenues, cost of revenue, operating expenses and income and taxation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We currently focus on EBITDA to evaluate our business relationships and our resulting operating performance and financial position. EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

We believe that EBITDA, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides useful information to investors.

EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our definition of EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

During both 2025 and 2024, we focused on developing our currently owned brands into new markets and by product extensions.

Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had revenues of $30,380,809 from sales of our products, as compared to revenue of $34,834,243 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This is comprised of the following categories:

The decrease in our Nutraceutical category was due to a shift in management focus on developing new products for the Beverages category and an overall decrease in sales. The decrease in our Beverage category was due to limited test during 2024 in Canada.

During first and second quarter of 2025, we licensed our FOCUSfactor and Flat Tummy intellectual property for $2,900,000 and we recognized revenue for the license fee at that time. During fourth quarter of 2025, due to the instability in the regions the licensee was expanding to, the entity canceled its license with the Company resulting in a reversal of the revenue of the same $2,900,000.

Cost of Sales

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our cost of sales was $10,077,992. Our cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $11,191,224. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to lower revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $20,302,817, or 67% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to gross profit of $23,643,019 or 68% of revenue for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $3,340,202 or 14%. The decrease in gross profit related to lower revenue.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our selling and marketing expenses were $13,137,779 as compared to $12,991,431 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is related to the mix of advertising utilized.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our general and administrative expenses were $8,829,803. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our general and administrative expenses were $4,717,006. The increase is largely due to an increase in professional fees, legal expense, board of directors’ expense, the write off of prepaid media credits carried over from 2024 and the increased overhead as we build the beverage division.

Reserve for Bad Debts

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our reserve for bad debts was $6,660,650 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is due to the write off of a related party loan receivable of $4,403,804, a write off of uncollectible other receivables of $1,654,249, a write off of uncollectible accounts receivable of $225,018 and recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts of $377,579.  

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

For both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our depreciation and amortization expenses were $133,334.

Other Income and Expenses

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had other (income) and expense items of the following:

The decrease in other income in 2025 was related to Employee Retention Credits and an insurance claim on stolen goods from 2024 that did not repeat. The increase in interest expense in 2025 was primarily due to an advance taken, shares issued related to the modification of notes payable and the amortization of original debt discount on the May 2025 loan. The gain on settlement of notes payable relates to discounts negotiated on loan payoffs during 2025.

Income tax expense

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred income tax expense of $117,471. For the year ended December 31, 2024 we incurred income tax expense of $102,085.

Net Income (Loss)

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our net loss was $12,341,208. For the year ended December 31, 2024 our net income was $2,124,976. This decrease was due to lower revenue, higher expenses, the write off of other receivables and the write off of the loan receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of December 31, 2025, we had $2,622,313 cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $100,000 which is held for credit card collateral.

In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company considered the following:

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued by considering the following:

Management concluded that the above factors alleviate doubts about the Company’s ability to generate enough cash from operations and other available sources to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months from the issuance date.  

Short- and Long-Term Borrowings

On May 30, 2025, we entered into a term credit loan agreement of $17,500,000 with ACP Agency, LLC. We received $15,000,000 in May 2025 on the initial draw and $2,500,000 in June 2025 on a delayed draw. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay existing debt, including the payoff of the Company’s indebtedness to Knight Therapeutics. We recorded $2,385,954 as original debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. We recognized $360,511 as amortization during the year ended December 31, 2025. The unamortized balance amounts to $2,025,443 at December 31, 2025. The note bears interest at Term SOFR rate, plus 8.5%, currently 12.5% and matures on May 31, 2029. We recognized total interest expense of $1,326,732 as of December 31, 2025. The outstanding loan balance at December 31, 2025 was $17,500,000 (See Note 11).

We previously had secured indebtedness with Knight Therapeutics (Barbados) Inc. and related arrangements. During 2025, this indebtedness was repaid in full in connection with the Company’s refinancing transactions, including the ACP term loan described above. For additional information regarding our prior Knight indebtedness and the related repayment, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On February 10, 2022, we entered into a promissory note for $2,000,000 with an individual which was to be repaid with subsequent financing. On March 31, 2024, we entered into a Modification Agreement in relation to this loan. Effective March 31, 2024, the interest rate is 12%, compounded quarterly. Cash payments of interest shall be made monthly, on the final day of each month commencing in April 2024. We are required to make principal payments of $1,000,000 each quarter starting from March 31, 2025 until December 31, 2025. The remaining principal and unpaid interest is fully due on March 31, 2026. In addition, a loan renegotiation fee of $500,000 shall be earned and payable on March 31, 2026 or at such time the loan is paid in full. Upon closing of a sale transaction, as defined in the agreement, a bonus success fee of $1,800,000 will be earned and payable. An event of default, as defined in the agreement, will trigger a default interest rate increase by 5% to 17%. An incentive fee of a maximum of $563,092 will be paid, prorated if the loan is paid off early. There is a cross-default clause in the agreement which states that if Knight triggers an event of default on its own loan facility, this loan will also be under default. This Agreement consolidates this $2,000,000 loan and the $6,000,000 March 8, 2022 loan as detailed below. 

On March 8, 2022, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with debenture holders for the Senior Subordinated Debentures in the amount of $6,000,000 with an original maturity date of September 8, 2022 and warrants equal to the principal amount with a term of 3 years. The Senior Subordinated Debentures were modified on June 14, 2023 and consolidated with the promissory note dated February 10, 2022. The modification included the exercise of a $1,500,000 cash payment in lieu of the exercise of warrants. Pursuant to ASC 480 warrants were liability classified and we accrued the warrant liability of $1,500,000 on March 8, 2022, the date of issuance. On September 8, 2022, the date of exercise of the warrants, we offset this warrant liability and added the $1,500,000 balance to the Senior Subordinated Debentures, for a combined outstanding balance of $7,500,000. The terms of the warrants were, at the sole option of the holder, to convert the warrant at a 25% discount in the event we consummated an IPO, a cash option whereby the holder could convert the warrants at a cash value of $1,500,000 or convert the warrants into the private entity valued by an independent third-party appraiser. On March 31, 2024, we entered into a Modification Agreement in relation to this loan, which consolidates it with the $2,000,000 February 10, 2022 loan above.

We have utilized various short-term working capital arrangements from time to time (including merchant financing and settlement-related payment arrangements) to support liquidity and working capital needs. Substantially all of these arrangements were repaid prior to December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the primary short-term amount outstanding relates to the Cedar Advance LLC receivables purchase arrangement described below. For additional information, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

On November 12, 2025, we entered into a cash advance agreement of $3,024,000 with Cedar Advance LLC for an advancement of working capital via the sale of receivables. We received $2,000,000 and recorded $1,024,000 as original issue discount. The loan bears a repayment rate of $84,000 per week. In conjunction with the advance, we issued 52,000 shares of common stock to the consultant who facilitated the facility and thus recognized $103,220 as financing cost. We recognized total interest expense of $349,435 as of December 31, 2025. The outstanding loan balance at December 31, 2025 was $1,658,215.

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, we are in compliance with the material terms, conditions and covenants applicable to our outstanding debt arrangements.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had net cash used in operating activities of $2,585,022 as compared to $4,803,390 of net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable, other receivables and related party loan receivable.

For 2025, net cash used in operating activities of $2,585,022 consisted of our net loss of $12,341,208 adjusted by:

For 2024, net cash used in operating activities of $4,803,390 consisted of our net income of $2,124,976 adjusted by:

Investing Activities

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we used net cash of $0 in investing activities.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,654,664, as compared to $4,804,086 provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to the issuance of common stock and proceeds from notes payable offset by repayment on notes payable.

Key Near-Term Initiatives

During 2026, we intend to organically grow our current product lines by developing and launching new products and expanding into new markets. Specifically, for FOCUSfactor, we are working on increased distribution for our recently launched ready-to-drink beverage. Lastly, we intend to grow further through additional strategic acquisitions and we continue to evaluate opportunities and candidates that we believe fit well with our brand portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our operating results was not significant in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, current income taxes, deferred income taxes valuation allowance, useful life of intangible assets, impairment analysis of intangible assets, estimates used in the fair value calculation of stock based compensation, assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate, accrual of sales returns, and accrual of legal expense. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

We recognize revenue upon shipment from our fulfillment centers. Certain of our distributors may also perform a separate function as a co-packer on our behalf. In such cases, ownership of and title to our products that are co-packed on our behalf by those co-packers who are also distributors, passes to such distributors when we are notified by them that they have taken transfer or possession of the relevant portion of our finished goods. Freight billed to customers is presented as revenues, and the related freight costs are presented in selling and marketing expense. Cancelled orders are refunded if not already dispatched, refunds are only paid if stock is damaged in transit, discounts are only offered with specific promotions and orders will be refilled if lost in transit. We recognize revenue for our digital products in the month the download by the customer occurs.

We account for our IP license revenue, which provides our customers with rights to use our IP, in accordance with ASC 606. A license may be perpetual or time limited in its application. In accordance with ASC 606, we continue to recognize revenue from IP license at the time of delivery when the customer accepts control of the IP, as the IP is functional without professional services, updates and technical support. We have concluded that its IP license is distinct as the customer can benefit from the functional IP on its own. Therefore, we have determined the right to use its IP was satisfied at a point in time (on the date the rights to the IP were granted).

All product sales were initiated based upon the retailer’s purchase orders at a fixed transaction price and revenues recognized when the products were shipped to our customers.

Contract Liabilities

Our contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments. Contract liability results from transactions in which we have been paid for products by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the contract liabilities are recognized.

Income Taxes

We utilize FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

We generated a deferred tax asset through net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established due to the uncertainty of our realization of the net operating loss carry forward prior to its expiration.

NomadChoice Pty Ltd, our wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Synergy CHC Inc., our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Synergy CHC Mexico, our wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Effect of Exchange Rate on Results

The functional currency of one of our foreign subsidiaries (NomadChoice Pty Ltd.) is the U.S. Dollar. This foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency (Australian Dollar–“AUD”). All monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at period end exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at transaction day exchange rates. Income and expense items related to non-monetary items were translated at exchange rates prevailing during the transaction date and other incomes and expenses were translated using average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments were recorded in statements of operations as Remeasurement gain or loss on translation of foreign subsidiary.

The functional currency of one of our foreign subsidiaries (Synergy CHC Inc.) is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). This foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency (CAD). All assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at period end exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates. Income and expense items were translated using average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of income taxes, are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity in accordance with ASC 220 — Comprehensive Income.

The functional currency of our other foreign subsidiary (Synergy CHC Mexico) is the Mexican Peso (MXN). This foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency (MXN). All assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at period end exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates. Income and expense items were translated using average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of income taxes, are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity in accordance with ASC 220 — Comprehensive Income.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in AUD, CAD and MXN into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO 2013. Based on the foregoing evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective because of the material weaknesses discussed below.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because the attestation report requirement has been removed for “smaller reporting companies” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

The Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in a company’s internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company identified material weaknesses in its internal controls in the following areas: implementation of segregation of duties as part of our control activities and establishment of clearly defined roles within our finance and accounting functions. 

Management’s Remediation Measures

As part of our plan to remediate this material weaknesses, we are performing a full review of our internal control procedures. We have implemented, and plan to continue to implement, new controls and new procedures and clearly define roles and responsibilities among the finance and accounting functions while continuing to segregate duties.

The Company will continue to review and improve its internal controls over financial reporting to address the underlying causes of the material weakness and control deficiencies. Such material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be remediated until the Company’s remediation plan has been fully implemented, and it has concluded that its internal controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the material weaknesses and the remediation efforts described above, no other change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Synergy CHC Corp.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
