FUNCTIONAL BRANDS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
| 1. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Functional Brands Inc. (formerly HT Naturals Inc., the "Company") was organized under the General Corporation Law in the State of Delaware on November 19, 2020. The Company's principal business is the production, marketing, sales, and distribution of nutraceutical products within the U.S. and in 21 other countries globally.
On March 22, 2023, the Company changed its name from HT Naturals Inc. to Functional Brands Inc. to better reflect its corporate identity.
On January 22, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-18.338622 reverse stock split in its outstanding common stock. The authorized common stock of the Company remained unchanged at 220,000,000. All references to share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. In addition, the Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred $0.001 par value.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the consolidated financial statements consist of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary HTO Nevada Inc. (d/b/a Kirkman), which is a nutraceutical manufacturer and distributor based in the Pacific Northwest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $93,837, and as of September 30, 2025 the Company had a negative working capital of $1,491,727, and an accumulated deficit of $7,754,767. As of September 30, 2025 the Company had cash of $1,005,324 and has raised additional capital subsequent to September 30, 2025. (see Note 25, Subsequent Events). These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that its existing cash balances combined with future capital raises through debt and equity and cash receipts from product sales will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations through at least one year from the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability to secure additional equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional capital.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Unaudited Financial Information
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year. As such, the information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company's Form S-1/A, dated and filed with the SEC on October 16, 2025, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its only subsidiary, HTO Nevada Inc. The subsidiary consists of an entity over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect these returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. To the extent that subsidiaries provide services that relate to the Company's activities, they are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

This was retroactively recorded in 2019 as the acquisition was completed on July 3, 2019, with entities under common control.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity.
Cash
Cash consists of cash in readily available checking accounts and deposits in transit. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, cash balances were deposited at major and other financial institutions. On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $507,664 and $0, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances and do not bear interest. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through an allowance for doubtful accounts, if an allowance is deemed necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. On a periodic basis management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines the requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current and collectible status of individual accounts with past due balances over 90 days. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
As of September 30, 2025 allowance for doubtful accounts decreased by $3,976 resulting in a balance of $0, and as of December 31, 2024 it decreased by $32,941 resulting in a balance of $3,796.
Inventories
Inventory consists of raw materials, packaging supplies and finished goods. Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include direct labor and certain overhead expenses such as in-bound shipping and handling costs incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and conditions. Cost is determined by using the weighted average method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. If the Company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to impairment expenses.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there was no impairment to the Company's net realizable value of its inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. Computer equipment is depreciated over five years and furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment are depreciated over seven years. Amortization of fixed assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
The categories of capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
| ● | Machinery and equipment | 7 years, straight-line |
| ● | Furniture and fixtures | 7 years, straight-line |
| ● | Computer equipment | 5 years, straight-line |
The Company allocates the amount initially recognized for a capital asset to its significant parts and amortizes separately each part. Residual values, methods of amortization and useful lives of the capital assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals of capital assets are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the capital asset and are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each fiscal year-end and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. An item of equipment is retired upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on sale or retirement of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of operations in the year the asset is retired. Such assets are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
7
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
The categories of the intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
| ● | Customer relationships | 10 years |
| ● | cGMP certification | Indefinite life |
| ● | Goodwill (including Assembled Workforce) | Indefinite life |
| ● | Kirkman brand | Indefinite life |
Expenditures in the research phase and post-development maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquire, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. Assets and liabilities are assigned to each reporting unit if they are employed by a reporting unit and are considered in the determination of the reporting unit fair value. The Company has one reporting unit with goodwill, which is the Kirkman business.
The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the consolidated level. In evaluating the recoverability of the Kirkman brand name and Current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP") certification which refers to U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulations ensuring that food, drug, and medical device manufacturers maintain high standards for safety, quality, and purity through proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. The Company compared the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount to determine potential impairment. The Company's estimate of the fair value of the Kirkman brand name is derived using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method and the fair value of the cGMP certification is derived using the income approach.
The fair value determination of the reporting units and the indefinite-lived intangible asset is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Assumptions include estimation of the royalty rate, estimation of future revenue and projected margins, which are dependent on internal cash flow forecasts, estimation of the terminal growth rates and capital spending, and determination of discount rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of the reporting units may include such items as: (i) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other macroeconomic factors, (ii) an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital due to further increases in interest rates, (iii) decrease in future cash flows due to lower than expected sales, or (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may negatively impact the Company's reported results of operations. Accordingly, if the current cash flow assumptions are not realized, we experience further increases in costs of capital, it is possible that an additional impairment charge may be recorded in the future, which could be material.
The Company did not record an impairment loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. At the commencement date of a lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is made available for use), the Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet.
Right-of-Use Assets
ROU assets are initially measured at cost, which consists of:
| ● | the initial amount of the lease liability; |
| ● | any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; and |
| ● | any initial direct costs incurred. |
Subsequently, ROU assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses, and are adjusted for the effect of any remeasurement of the related lease liability. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term, ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, in accordance with ASC 842.
Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments expected to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include:
| ● | fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, net of any lease incentives receivable; |
| ● | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; |
| ● | amounts the Company expects to pay under residual value guarantees, if applicable; |
| ● | the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and |
| ● | payments for penalties to terminate the lease if the lease term assumes the Company will exercise such an option. |
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred in the period in which the related obligation arises, consistent with occupancy or operating expense recognition guidance under ASC 842.
Discount Rate and Subsequent Measurement
In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease, if readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") at the lease commencement date, as required under ASC 842.
After lease commencement, the lease liability is:
| ● | increased by the accretion of interest, and |
| ● | reduced by lease payments made. |
Lease liabilities are remeasured when certain changes occur, such as modifications to the lease agreement, a change in the lease term, a change in in-substance fixed payments, or a revised assessment regarding the exercise of a purchase or termination option. Corresponding adjustments are recorded to the ROU asset.
9
Leases as Lessee
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of an arrangement. Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company uses the internal incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The length of a lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise those options. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets or liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, when accounting for leases, the Company combines payments for leased assets, related services and other components of a lease. The Company applies a portfolio approach to determine the discount rate for leases with similar characteristics.
For leases classified as operating, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus/(minus) any unamortized prepaid/(accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For leases classified as finance leases, the ROU asset is subsequently amortized using the straight-line method from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the end of the lease term unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company, or the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset. In those cases, the ROU asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. The Company expects to exercise the options to purchase the assets which are leased under finance leases. Accordingly, these assets are included in property and equipment, and depreciation thereon is recognized as depreciation expense. When the Company makes contractually required payments under finance leases, a portion is allocated to reduce the finance lease obligation, and a portion is recognized as interest expense.
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan that is used to compensate the members of its board of directors, executive officers, employees and consultants for services rendered.
The restricted share units ("RSUs") are measured by reference to the fair value of the Company's common stock shares at the date on which they are granted. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and the fair value of goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be estimated reliably, they are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted.
The costs of equity settled transactions are recognized as expenses, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant party becomes fully entitled to the award.
No expense is recognized for performance-based awards that do not vest. Expense for service-based award is recognized upon receipt of the agreed upon services. Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
Compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including restricted stock units, in the statements of operation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. As necessary, the Company's stock price at the date of grant was estimated using an acceptable valuation technique such as a recent round of fundraising or the probability-weighted expected return model. The fair value of RSUs granted before the Nasdaq public listing was assessed at the grant date, using the share price established in the most recent 409a valuation report conducted by an external appraiser. For future RSU grants, fair value will be based on the Company's stock price at the time of issuance.
Compensation expense for restricted stock awards with performance-based vesting conditions is calculated based on the number of awards that are expected to vest during the performance period if it is probable that the performance metrics will be achieved. Generally, measured compensation cost, net of actual forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related share-based compensation award. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
10
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management's evaluation). Outbound shipping charged to customers is recognized at the time the related merchandise revenues are recognized and are included in net revenues.
Per Company policy, any product that doesn't meet the customer's expectations can be returned within 30 days of delivery in exchange for another product, or for a full refund. Any product sold through a distributor or retailer must be returned to the original purchase location for any return or exchange. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any reserves on revenue for product returns or exchanges.
Earnings / (Loss) per Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss distributed to the common class, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period.
For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, restricted stock units (RSUs) are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As of September 30, 2025, there were 83,501 RSUs, of potentially common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive. Since the Company has reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for this period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") calculations for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The fair value of total purchase consideration is allocated to the fair values of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. All assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed in a business combination are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. Estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from those estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. At the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the statements of operations. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company's statements of operations.

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares
On July 18, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the creation of its Series A Convertible Preferred Shares ("Series A Preferred"), with a par value of $0.001 per share.
On October 9, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights (the "Series A COD") setting forth the terms applicable to an authorized 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred. The Series A COD was filed pursuant to the terms of a private placement described in Part II, Item 2 hereof.
The terms of the Series A Preferred are as follows:
Dividends
Holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to cumulative dividends, computed on a 360-day year and payable monthly in arrears. The dividend rate varies over time as follows:
| ● | 5% per annum for the first six months following issuance; | |
| ● | 10% per annum for months 7-12; | |
| ● | 15% per annum for months 13-18; and | |
| ● | An additional 3% per annum increase for each month thereafter. |
Dividends may be paid in cash or, subject to certain equity-condition requirements, in registered shares of common stock at the option of the holder. Any accrued but unpaid dividends increase the conversion amount.
Conversion Features
Each Series A Preferred share is convertible at the option of the holder after the earlier of (i) 45 days following the Direct Listing or (ii) the date on which both the trading price and trading volume of the Company's common stock exceed certain thresholds.
The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 by the Conversion Price, which is the lower of:
| ● | The price implied by a $56,000,000 valuation of the Company (the "Valuation Cap"); | |
| ● | 75% of the closing price on the date of the Direct Listing; | |
| ● | The closing price on the day preceding conversion; or | |
| ● | 75% of the lowest VWAP during the five trading days preceding conversion, in each case subject to a floor price of $4.00 (the "Floor Price"). |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent conversions are affected when the market price of the Company's common stock is below the Floor Price, the stated value of the Series A Preferred is proportionally adjusted upward. Any such adjustment equals the product of (a) the difference between the Floor Price and the unadjusted conversion price and (b) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. This payment compensates holders for the economic shortfall when the floor constraint applies.
22
A beneficial ownership limitation restricts a holder from converting shares if the conversion would result in ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock, which may be increased up to 9.99% with 61 days' prior notice.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the Series A Preferred participates on an as-converted basis, entitling holders to the same distribution they would have received if their shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.
Voting Rights
Except as required by law or as specifically provided in the Certificate, the Series A Preferred does not carry voting rights. However, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares is required for actions that would materially and adversely affect their rights, including amendments to the Certificate or changes to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation affecting the series.
Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions
| ● | Stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events automatically adjust the Conversion Price. | |
| ● | Down-round (full-ratchet) anti-dilution protection, whereby the Conversion Price is decreased if the Company issues common stock or common-stock equivalents at a price lower than the then-effective Conversion Price. | |
| ● | Distributions: Holders participate in pro rata distributions (cash or stock) on an as-converted basis, without needing to convert their shares. |
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 18, 2025 the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the creation of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred"), par value $ 0.001 per share.
On October 9, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights setting forth the terms applicable to an authorized 80,000 shares of Series B preferred.
Conversion Features
Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at any time following the issuance date, subject to certain beneficial-ownership limitations (generally capped at 9.99% of outstanding common stock unless waived with advance notice). The Series B Preferred is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the closing price of the stock on the day prior to conversion and (ii) the price per share of our common stock equal to the valuation cap. Conversions are settled through the issuance of shares of common stock calculated using the applicable conversion price.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to common stockholders, an amount equal to the stated value per share plus any accrued but unpaid amounts, as defined in the Certificate of Designation.
23
Voting Rights
Except where required by Delaware law or the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred generally does not have voting rights. Holders are entitled to vote only on matters specifically affecting the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred.
Redemption
The Company may redeem the Series B Preferred at its option, subject to notice requirements and at a cash amount equal to the stated value per share plus any applicable premium defined in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation. Proceeds from any permitted redemption must be applied pro-rata among all outstanding Series B Preferred shares.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation is comprised of 180,866 shares of common stock and 1,730 RSUs issued for services rendered during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in a change in share capital of $518,355.

| 20. | Segment Reporting |
The Company has two operating segments:
1) Kirkman, which sells a range of nutraceuticals, supplements and related products; and
2) HT Naturals, which sells a range of hemp-based consumer products.
The Company has a corporate function, which is not an operating segment, and includes expenses related to corporate management and administration, including legal, audit, accounting, tax, SEC reporting, and investor/public relations, among other corporate expenses.
The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as amended by ASU 2023-07, which requires entities to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. ASC 280-10-50-1 states that an operating segment is a component of a public entity that:
| ● | Engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; | |
| ● | Has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment; and | |
| ● | Has discrete financial information available. |
Under ASC 280-10-50-5, a public entity is required to report separately only those operating segments that meet certain quantitative thresholds. However, as specified in ASC 280-10-50-11, if a company's business activities are managed as a single operating segment and reviewed on a basis, the company may report as a single segment. The Company has determined that it operates as one reportable segment, as its CODM reviews the business as a whole rather than by distinct business components.
Management has evaluated the Hemp and Supplements operating segments under the qualitative aggregation criteria in ASC 280-10-50-11 and determined that:
| ● | The segments have similar economic characteristics, and | |
| ● | They are similar in the nature of products and services, production processes, type of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. |
Accordingly, in accordance with ASC 280-10-50-11, the Hemp segment will be aggregated with the Supplements segment into a single reportable segment.
Furthermore, based on the quantitative thresholds in ASC 280-10-50-12 and management's assessment, only the Kirkman operating segment meets the criteria to be classified as a reportable segment. HT Naturals represents approximately 3% of consolidated revenue and does not meet any of the other quantitative thresholds for disclosure as a separate reportable segment.
Therefore, the Company has two operating segments that were aggregated to one reporting segment because the HT Natural segment is considered immaterial.

| 24. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company has an exclusive license agreement with Trailer Park Boys Incorporated ("TPB") to market and sell hemp derived products. This license was effective as of July 21, 2021, will expire on December 31, 2025, and has been subject to several amendments (the "TPB License"). Under the TPB License, the Company is obligated to pay TPB a total of minimum cash payments over the life of the TPB License of $725,000, and is obligated to issue to the TPB 14,440 shares of common stock of the Company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made minimum payments in the amount of $50,000, with total life-to-date payments amounting to $575,000. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has accrued $75,000 for minimum cash payments. The royalty rates under this agreement are between 15% - 30% of the net sales of the Company derived from sales related to the TPB License. The TPB License may be terminated with reasonable cause upon six months written notice or for certain triggering events without recourse or an opportunity to cure.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was engaged in a contractual dispute with TPB concerning the TPB License. The Company asserts that TPB has not fulfilled certain material obligations under the TPB License and, as a result, disputes the remaining $150,000 minimum cash payments. The Company has not accrued for any legal fees for the disputed amount mentioned above as management believes a loss is not probable at this time in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies.

David Humphrey has reimbursed the Company $59,000 for legal fees and expenses previously incurred by the Company related to the litigation. The Company has relinquished all claims against David Humphrey for any additional legal fees or expenses incurred prior to the effective date in connection with the litigation.
Loan Payable
On November 17, 2025, the Company entered into a release agreement with Emmis Capital II, LLC ("Emmis") to resolve the outstanding balance of a previously issued convertible note, which had an aggregate principal balance of $234,000 as of the agreement date. Under the terms of the release agreement, the Company agreed to the following upon execution of the release agreement:

In exchange for the payment, shares and warrant, Emmis agreed to irrevocably release all claims related to the previously issued convertible note, and any associated actions, obligations, or liabilities, except for the Company's obligations to issue and register the securities as described above.
Preferred Shares
On October 9, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights (the "Certificate") setting forth the terms applicable to an authorized 100,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Share, par value equal to $0.001 per share.
1. Conversion Price Determination
Under the Certificate, the Conversion Price is defined as the lower of (a) the price per share based on a $56 million Company valuation or (b) the closing price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date.
2. Floor Price and Cash Make-Whole Mechanism
The Certificate establishes a Floor Price of $4.00 per common share (adjusted for stock splits and similar events). If, at the time of conversion, the computed Conversion Price would otherwise fall below this floor, the actual Conversion Price is limited to the Floor Price and the Company must pay the holder a cash "Conversion Floor Amount." Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent conversions are affected when the market price of the Company's common stock is below the Floor Price, the stated value of the Series A Preferred is proportionally adjusted upward.
The Conversion Floor Amount equals the product of (a) the difference between the Floor Price and the unadjusted Conversion Price and (b) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion. This payment compensates holders for the economic shortfall when the floor constraint applies.
On October 9, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights setting forth the terms applicable to an authorized 80,000 shares Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, par value equal to $0.001 per share.
On November 4, 2025, Functional Brands Inc. completed a private placement to six institutional investors for gross proceeds of $8,000,000, and net of commissions the Company received proceeds of approximately $7,360,000. In exchange the investors were issued a total of 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred and 80,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $8,512, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,881 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of approximately 353%. This increase of $6,631 in net cash used in investing activities is attributable to purchase of long-term assets during the period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $676,164, compared to cash used in financing activities of $68,206 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of approximately 891% This increase of $607,958 in cash used in financing activities is primarily attributed to an increase in deferred offering costs for the Direct Listing of approximately $572,185, decrease in proceeds from loan payables of $84,723 and a decrease in repayment of loans of $49,124 and decreases in payable for acquisition of $85,001
Sources of cash
On November 4, 2025, Functional Brands Inc. completed a private placement to six institutional investors for gross proceeds of $8,000,000, and net of commissions the Company received proceeds of approximately $7,360,000. In exchange the investors were issued a total of 100,000 Series A preferred shares and 80,000 Series B preferred shares

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain amounts included in or affecting the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important "critical accounting policies" for the Company. A "critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that involves difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such policies on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management's forecasts as to the manner in which such circumstances may change in the future.
The judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:
| ● | Obsolescence of inventories; | |
| ● | Recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets including property and equipment, and intangible assets; | |
| ● | Recoverability of carrying value of goodwill; | |
| ● | Discount rate used to calculate present value of future minimum lease payments for right-of-use asset and liabilities; | |
| ● | Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies; and | |
| ● | Valuation of deferred income tax assets. |
Inventories, net
The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions, including forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand, as well as other factors such as potential excess or aged inventories based on product shelf life, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence. As of September 30, 2025, the allowance for inventory obsolescence increased by $12,895 resulting in a reserve of $77,722. As of December 31, 2024 the inventory reserve was $64,827.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired by first comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The Company did not recognize impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
35
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company determines the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Application within the Company's Financial Statements
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, related-party loans, line of credit, government loans, loans payable, convertible debentures (prior to conversion), and warrants issued in connection with financing arrangements. Management believes that, unless otherwise noted, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or because they bear interest at market rates.
The following items required fair value measurement or valuation analysis during the periods presented:
| ● | Convertible Debenture | |
| ● | Warrants Issued in Financing Transactions | |
| ● | Equity Instruments Issued for Services and Financing | |
| ● | Business Combination and Intangible Assets (Historical) | |
| ● | Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company primarily applied fair value measurement to equity-linked financing instruments (warrants and stock issued for services), and historically, to convertible debt and business combination accounting. The majority of the Company's remaining financial instruments are short-term or bear market-rate interest and therefore approximate fair value.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires entities to report incremental information about significant segment expenses included in a segment's profit or loss measure as well as the title and position of the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The new standard also requires interim disclosures related to reportable segment profit or loss and assets that had previously only been disclosed annually. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective December 31, 2024 on a retrospective basis.
Income taxes
The Company must exercise judgment in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for expected tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision.
36
In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act"). As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, and we have elected to take advantage of those exemptions. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
| ● | have an auditor attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"); | |
| ● | submit certain executive compensation matters to Member advisory votes pursuant to the "say on frequency" and "say on pay" provisions (requiring a non-binding Member vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute" provisions (requiring a non-binding Member vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; or | |
| ● | disclose certain executive compensation related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer's compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. This means that an emerging growth company can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to subsequently elect to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our Direct Listing, or until the earliest of: (i) the last date of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.
We do not believe that being an emerging growth company will have a significant impact on our business. Also, even once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we still may not be subject to auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we meet the definition of a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer under Section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
We are also a "smaller reporting company," meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million.
If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an EGC, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to EGCs, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
37
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as a result are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to the existence of the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025 were not effective, and notwithstanding material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, management believes that the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2025, other than those noted below, we are not subject to any material legal proceedings nor, to the best of our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us.
True Health Medical Center vs. Kirkman Group
On May 25, 2021, True Health Medical Center, S.C. ("True Health") amended an existing complaint against Kirkman Group, Inc. ("Kirkman"), James Hall and David Humphrey to assert claims against HTO Nevada, Inc. and HTO Holdings, Inc. (collectively, HTO Nevada, Inc. and HTO Holdings, Inc. are referred to as the "HTO Parties"). Kirkman is the seller of certain assets to the HTO Parties and is a separate legal entity.
Affiliates of the HTO Parties were first named in the lawsuit on September 23, 2020. The case is pending in the Circuit Court for the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, DuPage County, Illinois. Kirkman had terminated a royalty agreement prior to selling its assets to the HTO Parties but the royalty agreement has a provision that allows True Health to continue to receive royalties after the termination of the agreement. True Health claims that Kirkman underpaid the royalties due to True Health prior to the sale of assets to the HTO Parties. There is no dispute that Kirkman stopped paying royalties to True Health around the time it terminated the agreement and that the HTO Parties have never paid royalties to True Health. True Health contends that as the purchaser of certain Kirkman assets, the HTO Parties should be bound by the terms of the royalty agreement.
There is no certain amount at this time in connection with the alleged in the damages claim against the HTO Parties. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this proceeding at this time. True Health has filed a motion for summary judgment that addresses its claims against Kirkman but does not address any claim against the HTO Parties. Regardless of how the court rules on summary judgment, there will be remaining claims in the case, and it is likely that additional discovery will be conducted. No trial date has been scheduled at this time. Kirkman Group has recently filed a motion for leave to amend its counterclaims against True Health. None of these proposed counterclaims are alleged against HTO Nevada. However, if the Court permits the amended counterclaims to be filed, it is possible that additional discovery will be needed on the amended counterclaims. As of the date of the filing of this Report the court has not set a trial date.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Registration Statement filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
| (a) | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
On July 22, 2025 the Company agreed that pursuant to separate Stock Purchase Agreements with six accredited institutional investors, upon satisfaction of standard closing conditions and the closing of the Direct Listing, to issue to such investors in the aggregate 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock and 80,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock in a private placement transaction. Such preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock as described in Note 19, Common Stock and Preferred Stock, above. Thirteen million shares of our common stock were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to cover conversions of such preferred stock pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, No 333-284180.
39
On November 5, 2025, the Company closed the private placement of its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $8,000,000, and net of commissions the Company received proceeds of approximately $7,360,000. In exchange, the investors were issued in the aggregate 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred and 80,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock. The Company used such proceeds to pay outstanding amounts under the APA and for general corporate purposes.
As of December 11, 2025, 46,679 shares of the Series B Preferred has been converted into 8,805,746 shares of our common stock. The remaining aggregate stated value of the Series B Preferred as of December 11, 2025 was $3,332,100.
| (b) | Not applicable. |
| (c) | Issuer purchases of equity securities: None. |
Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
None.
Item 5. Other Information
