ITEM 1. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 (the "2026 Interim Period"), and the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 (the "2025 Interim Period") should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes included in this report.
Overview
Our predecessor-in-interest, Howloo LLC, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 8, 2016, and converted into Howloo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on January 1, 2023. Our headquarters are in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Results of Operation
Revenues
For the 2026 Interim Period we had revenues of $9,223,367, compared to $8,628,287 for the 2025 Interim Period. The increase in revenues during the 2026 Interim Period is primarily a result of continued growth in our direct-to-consumer business and the expansion of our Coffee Club subscription program.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the 2026 Interim Period our cost of goods sold was $3,273,158, compared to $3,864,213 for the 2025 Interim Period. The decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in green coffee bean costs as compared to the elevated levels experienced during the 2025 Interim Period, together with improvements in packaging and other input costs.
Gross Profit
For the 2026 Interim Period we had gross profit of $5,950,209, compared to gross profit of $4,764,074 for the 2025 Interim Period. The increase reflects both the growth in revenues and the decrease in cost of goods sold described above.
Operating Expenses
For the 2026 Interim Period, our total operating expenses were $6,383,198, consisting of $5,118,749 for sales and marketing expenses and $1,264,449 for general and administrative expenses. For the 2025 Interim Period, our total operating expenses were $5,913,402, consisting of $4,369,488 for sales and marketing expenses and $1,543,914 for general and administrative expenses.
Loss from Operations
For the 2026 Interim Period we had a loss from operations of $432,989, compared to a loss from operations of $1,149,328 for the 2025 Interim Period.
Net Loss
For the 2026 Interim Period we had a net loss of $413,532, compared to a net loss of $1,207,858 for the 2025 Interim Period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash in the amount of $1,722,043, as compared to $1,747,700 as of December 31, 2025.
As of the date of this report, we believe we have sufficient operating capital to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months. We will incur significant additional costs in operating our business, including, but not limited to, in production, marketing, sales and customer service. We may engage in additional debt and/or equity financings as determined to be necessary.
Our Regulation A offering had its final closing on December 6, 2024 and was terminated on or about December 18, 2025. No offers or sales of our securities have been made pursuant to that offering since December 6, 2024, and we are not currently offering securities pursuant to Regulation A.
Debt
In May 2020, we entered into an SBA Loan in the original principal amount of $131,900 that accrues interest at a rate of 3.75%, and matures in May 2050. We are required to make monthly payments of $644. As of December 31, 2025, $109,681 was outstanding under the SBA loan, compared to $105,690 as of June 30, 2026.
We were a party to a loan agreement with First Citizens Bank dated January 3, 2023, in the original principal amount of $93,700, which accrued interest at a rate of 6.819% per annum. That loan was repaid in full during 2024, and no amounts were outstanding thereunder as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Plan of Operations
We are focused on expanding our Coffee Club subscription program to drive recurring revenue, improve customer retention, and enhance overall profitability. We are also working to broaden our presence across additional e-commerce marketplaces, including Walmart.com, while continuing to selectively expand our retail footprint within the United States. In parallel, we plan to introduce new products, including specialty roasted blends, to support customer acquisition and brand growth.

| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The Company has adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Howloo Inc. DBA Blackout Coffee Co.
Notes to Financial Statements
As Of And For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and debt payable, and accrued liabilities. Fair values for these items were assumed to approximate carrying values because of their short term in nature or they are payable on demand.
Cash
Cash includes all cash in banks. The Company's cash is deposited in demand accounts at financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company's cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value or the amount that the Company expects to collect on gross customer trade receivables. We estimate losses on receivables based on known troubled accounts and historical experience of losses incurred. Receivables are considered impaired and written-off when it is probable that all contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no reserve was necessary.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs related to raw materials and finished goods are determined using an average method. 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 cost of net revenues to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are charged to earnings as incurred and additions and major improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings.
Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset type or term of the operating lease using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated service lives for property and equipment are as follows:
Equipment - 5-10 years
Vehicles - 5 years
Leasehold improvements - Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining lease term

Notes to Financial Statements
As Of And For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives to the residual value of the related assets. Intangibles include website development costs and are amortized over the period of fifteen years.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.
In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We look for indicators of a trigger event for asset impairment and pay special attention to any adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of which there are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a location level. Assets are reviewed using factors including, but not limited to, our future operating plans and projected cash flows. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly related to the assets, compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets does not exceed the carrying value of the assets, full or partial impairment may exist. If the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using an income approach, which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with FASB ASC 606, revenue from contracts with customers, when delivery of goods is the sole performance obligation in its contracts with customers. The Company typically collects payment upon sale and recognizes the revenue when the item has shipped and has fulfilled its sole performance obligation.
Revenue Recognition as we have 5 Steps under ASC 606, is determined using the following steps:
| 1) | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer: the Company determines the existence of a contract with a customer when the contract is mutually approved; the rights of each party in relation to the services to be transferred can be identified, the payment terms for the services can be identified, the customer has the capacity and intention to pay, and the contract has commercial substance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
As Of And For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

| 3) | Determination of the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer.

Management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Litigation and Claims
The Company is involved in a dispute with a former contract manufacturer relating to obligations under a prior co-manufacturing agreement. The former manufacturer has asserted a claim of approximately $409,000 under certain take-or-pay provisions of the agreement.

The Company intends to vigorously defend its position.
At this time, management, after consultation with legal counsel, is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. No amounts have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements as management does not believe a loss is probable at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. However, an unfavorable resolution could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the period resolved
