Results of Operations for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024, compared to Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023.

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately $1 million compared to revenues of approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Part of the $4.1 million decrease in sales is due to a decrease in our beverage sales of $0.2 million. Additionally, revenues from our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash decreased approximately $3.9 million or 97.6% due to low inventory. Total sales declined due to limited liquidity to procure inventory to drive third-party sales.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.6 million compared to revenues of $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $12.6 million decrease in sales is driven by decreases in both the e-commerce and beverage businesses which decreased $11.6 million and $1 million respectively. Qplash’s revenue decreased due to low inventory.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.7 million compared to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $3.8 million.

The $8.5 million decrease in cost of goods sold for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was driven by decreased sales in both the e-commerce and beverage business.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.0 million compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 a decrease of $2.6 million.

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.7 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $14.7 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $15.0 million for the nine months September 30, 2023. The decrease in net loss is due to lower operating expenses partially offset by higher interest expenses.

LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $456,889, as compared with $379,978 at December 31, 2023.

Net cash used for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $6.4 million as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $8.5 million. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used were reduced operating expenses, prepaid expenses were allocated.

Net cash used for investing activities for the period ending September 30, 2024, $1,500 furniture was returned to vendor and $4,735 on purchase of machinery. For the period September 30, 2023, the Company had leasehold improvements of $12,613 related to our Copa Di Vino production site.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $6.4 million compared to $4.4 million provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received $7.9 million for convertible note, which was offset by repayments to debt holders of $1.5 million and $0.01 million to related party cash advance.

In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. The Company will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities the Company may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, the Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The Company may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities the Company may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital the Company are able to raise from financing activities together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that the Company reduce our operations accordingly, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of the consolidated financial statements being available to be issued.

None.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue

The Company faces significant judgment in revenue recognition due to the complexities of the beverage industry’s competitive landscape and diverse distribution channels. Determining the timing of revenue recognition involves assessing factors such as control transfer, returns, allowances, trade promotions, and distributor sell-through data. Historical analysis, market trends assessment, and contractual term evaluations inform revenue recognition judgments. However, inherent uncertainties persist, underscoring the critical nature of revenue recognition as it significantly impacts financial statements and performance evaluation.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and specific customer collection issues. Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and adjusts the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or customer creditworthiness could result in adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts, impacting our reported financial results.

Inventory Valuation

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Estimating the net realizable value of inventory involves significant judgment, particularly when market conditions change rapidly or when excess or obsolete inventory exists. Management regularly assesses inventory quantities on hand, future demand forecasts, and market conditions to determine whether write-downs to inventory are necessary.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements involve significant judgment and estimation, particularly when observable inputs are limited or not available. Management utilizes valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models, market comparable, and third-party appraisals to determine fair values.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024. The material weaknesses relate to a lack of segregation of duties between accounting and other functions and the absence of sufficient depth of in-house accounting personnel with the ability to properly account for complex transactions.

The Company plans to implement additional internal controls or enhance existing internal controls to strengthen its control environment. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the company is reviewing a plan to engage additional internal staff, external staff, or an advisory firm to provide support on technical issues related to U.S. GAAP as related to the maintenance of our accounting books and records and the preparation of our financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except with respect to the above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No new risk factors noted since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 was filed with the SEC.
