Barfresh Food Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend beverages, particularly, smoothies, shakes and frappes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Vendor Concentrations
The Company is exposed to supply risk as a result of concentrations in its vendor base resulting from the use of a limited number of contract manufacturers. Purchases from the Company’s significant contract manufacturers as a percentage of all finished goods purchased were as follows:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), requires the valuation of assets and liabilities permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on a hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Restricted Cash
At
December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts
receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances for credits and for any potential uncollectible amounts
due to credit losses. We make estimates of the expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on
our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our
customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Expected credit
losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30,
2023 and December 31, 2022, there was
Other Receivables
Other receivables consist of the Company’s 2021 Employer Retention Tax Credit claim, amounts due from vendors for materials acquired on their behalf for use in manufacturing the Company’s products, vendor rebates and freight claims.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer | |
| A contract with a customer exists when (I) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers. | ||
| 2) | Identify the performance obligation in the contract | |
| Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. For the Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer. | ||
| 3) | Determine the transaction price | |
| The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes rebates or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method. Provisions for refunds are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical and projected trends. | ||
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated to that single performance obligation. | |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation | |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfilment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
Payments that are received before performance obligations are recorded are shown as current liabilities. | ||
| The Company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a single product, frozen beverages. |

Storage and Shipping Costs
Storage
and outbound freight costs are included in selling, marketing and distribution expense. For the three months ending September 30, 2023
and 2022, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $
Research and Development
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. The Company incurred approximately
$
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 common stock equivalents have not been included in the calculation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of losses incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 financial statements to conform to the 2023 presentation, namely the presentation of selling, marketing and distribution expense apart from general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, the reclassification of materials shipping from selling, marketing and distribution to cost of revenue, and the presentation of the components of cash used in operations.
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Note 2. Restatement of Prior Financial Information
This Company’s previously filed unaudited statement of operations and cash flow statement and audited balance sheets have been restated to correct errors in calculating depreciation. From a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the Company determined that correcting the previously filed financial statements would not require amendment to its previously filed reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K. The effect of the correction of previously issued financial statements is summarized below:

Legal Proceedings
Schreiber Dispute
The
Company’s products are produced to its specifications through several contract manufacturers. One of the Company’s contract
manufacturers (the “Manufacturer”) provided approximately
Over
the course of 2022, the Company experienced numerous quality issues with the case packaging utilized by the Manufacturer. In addition,
in July of 2022, the Company began receiving customer complaints about the texture of the Company’s smoothie products produced
by the Manufacturer. In response, the Company withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory, withholding $
The Company attempted to resolve the issues based on the contractual procedures described in the Supply Agreement. However, on November 4, 2022, in response to a formal proposal of alternate resolutions, the Company received notification from the Manufacturer that it was denying any responsibility for the defective manufacture of the product. In response, on November 10, 2022, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division (the “Complaint”), claiming that the Manufacturer had not met its obligations under the Supply Agreement, and seeking economic damages. In response, the Manufacturer terminated the Supply Agreement. On January 20, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary dismissal of the Complaint which allowed the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, as the parties were once again unable to come to an agreement, the Company re-filed the Complaint in California State Court in August 2023.
Due to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, the Company is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible recoveries that could result from its actions against the Manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The disruption in its supply resulting from the dispute has and will continue to adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flow until a suitable resolution is reached or new sources of reliable supply at sufficient volume can be identified and developed, the timing of which is uncertain. The Company has mitigated the impact of the supply disruption with the introduction of its single-serve smoothie cartons; however the product format has not been accepted by some customers or as a substitute for the bottle product in all use cases.

time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to

Equity Incentive Plan
Through 2022, the Company issued equity awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and outside the Plan. In June 2023, the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), reserving shares for future issuance. The Board of Directors discontinued further grants under the 2015 Plan.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $ of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense relative to unvested options, stock awards and stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of years.

In February 2023, the unvested awards issued for individual performance and outstanding at January 1, 2023 were modified to cash-settle the original grant-date fair value of approximately $, resulting in incremental compensation of $ after considering the $ fair value of the vested shares at the date of the modification. Additionally, the Company performance targets were modified to allow approximately PSUs to vest, with an additional time-based vesting requirement for approximately of the PSUs. Because the awards did not vest based on the original terms, the modification was considered a new grant, resulting in $ in compensation expense in the nine-months ended September 30, 2023.
The Company adopted a 2023 PSU program in April 2023, granting approximately PSUs at target performance against company-wide metrics. An additional PSUs were granted in September 2023 for performance against individual goals, replacing the Company’s cash bonus program. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include $ in expense for the 2023 PSU program. Estimates of expense associated with 2023 performance will be reassessed each quarter through the performance period.
Note 8. Income Taxes
ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely
than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a
valuation allowance on all tax assets. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated effective tax rate for 2023 was
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2018 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Results of Operations
Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Revenue and cost of revenue
Revenue increased $197,000, or 8%, from $2,406,000 in 2022 to $2,603,000 in 2023. Revenue in 2022 was negatively impacted by the $630,000 claims estimate resulting from the market withdrawal of product purchased from the Manufacturer due to quality complaints. Excluding the refund claims estimate, revenue was $3,036,000 in 2022 and therefore decreased by $433,000 in 2023, or 14% based on product shipped. Our revenues have been adversely impacted as a result of lost customers and supply constraints resulting from the product issues and related dispute with the Manufacturer. While the introduction of our carton packaging format has mitigated the loss of supply, the product offering has not been accepted by some customers or as a substitute for the bottle product in all use cases. We have identified and are actively working to develop additional smoothie bottle manufacturing capacity. We expect expanded capacity to become available in early 2024, subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with contracting and pre-production activities.
Cost of revenue for 2023 was $1,690,000 as compared to $3,129,000 in 2022. Cost of revenue in 2022 was negatively impacted by the $932,000 inventory write-off related to the product withdrawal. Excluding the inventory write-off, cost of revenue was $2,197,000 in 2022, and therefore decreased by $507,000 in 2023, or 23% based on product shipped. Excluding the impact of the product withdrawal, cost of revenue declined due to lower revenue, and lower product cost due to a shift in product mix resulting from the limited supply of smoothie bottles.
Our gross profit was $913,000 (35%) and ($723,000) (-30%) for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Adjusted for the product withdrawal, our 2022 gross profit was $839,000 (28%). Adjusted comparative gross margin improvement is a result of favorable product mix, pricing actions, and a slight improvement in the cost of supply chain components.
Selling, marketing and distribution expense
Our operations were primarily directed towards increasing sales and expanding our distribution network.

Selling, marketing and distribution expense decreased approximately $163,000 (-19%) from approximately $860,000 in 2022 to $697,000 in 2023.
Sales and marketing expense decreased approximately $83,000 (-20%) from approximately $410,000 in 2022 to $327,000 in 2023. The decrease is a result of headcount reductions and lower broker commissions due to lower revenue and product mix.
Storage and outbound freight expense decreased approximately $80,000 (-18%) from approximately $450,000 in 2022 to $370,000 in 2023, primarily as a result of the 14% decrease in product shipped as described in the discussion of revenue for the comparative quarters. The volume-related decrease in expense was enhanced by freight efficiencies compared to 2022.

General and administrative expense decreased approximately $435,000 (-43%) from approximately $1,013,000 in 2022 to $578,000 in 2023.
Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes. Personnel cost decreased by approximately $140,000 (-42%) from approximately $336,000 to $196,000 and stock-based compensation increased by approximately $84,000 (54%) from $156,000 to $240,000. The decrease in personnel cost resulted from a reduction in headcount and the decision to issue stock-based compensation in lieu of cash bonuses for a portion of the performance criteria in 2023, resulting in a year-to-date reduction of personnel costs of $87,000, including a $60,000 reclassification of expense incurred in the first two quarters of 2023. Additionally, unpaid directors’ fees for 2023 that were expected to be paid in cash were also converted to stock-based compensation, resulting in a year-to-date reduction in cash expense of $75,000, including a $50,000 reclassification of expense incurred in the first two quarters of 2023. Excluding the impact of the compensation modifications for employees and directors, stock-based compensation decreased by $26,000 due to headcount reductions and the non-recurrence of a one-time grant in 2022.
Legal, professional and consulting fees decreased by $37,000 (-38%) as a result of a reduction in outside services in an effort to conserve working capital.
Research and development expense decreased approximately $188,000 (-85%) from approximately $220,000 in 2022 to $32,000 in 2023. Expense was elevated in 2022 as we incurred pre-production expense related to the launch of our carton format, while 2023 expense was limited as activities were minimized to conserve working capital.
Other general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $79,000 (-44%) due to a reduction in local non-income based taxes and the timing of the Company’s annual meeting.
Net loss
We had net losses of approximately $476,000 and $2,687,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net loss of approximately $2,211,000, was the result of the non-recurrence of the estimated refund claims and inventory disposal costs associated with the product withdrawal, improved margins, and a reduction of approximately $575,000 in operating expenses due to cost saving measures and to a lesser extent, reduced volume of product shipped.
Results of Operation for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Revenue and cost of revenue
Revenue was $6,205,000 in 2023 compared to $7,731,000 in 2022, a decrease of $1,526,000, or 20%. Revenue in 2022 was negatively impacted by the $630,000 claims estimate resulting from the market withdrawal of product purchased from the Manufacturer. Excluding the refund claims estimate, revenue was $8,361,000 in 2022 and therefore decreased by $2,156,000 in 2023, or 26% based on product shipped. Our revenues have been adversely impacted as a result of lost customers and supply constraints resulting from the product issues and related dispute with the Manufacturer.

Cost of revenue was $3,963,000 in 2023 compared to $6,807,000 in 2022, a decrease of $2,844,000, or 42%. Cost of revenue in 2022 was negatively impacted by the $932,000 inventory write-off related to the product withdrawal. Excluding the inventory write-off, cost of revenue was $5,875,000 in 2022, and therefore decreased by $1,912,000 in 2023, or 33% based on product shipped. Excluding the impact of the product withdrawal, cost of revenue declined due to lower revenue, and lower product cost due to a shift in product mix resulting from the limited supply of smoothie bottles.
Our gross profit was $2,242,000 (36%) and $924,000 (12%) for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Adjusted for the product withdrawal, our 2022 gross profit was $2,486,000 (30%). Adjusted comparative gross margin improvement is a result of favorable product mix, pricing actions, and a slight improvement in the cost of supply chain components.

Selling, marketing and distribution expense decreased approximately $246,000 (-11%) from approximately $2,236,000 in 2022 to $1,990,000 in 2023.
Sales and marketing expense increased approximately $39,000 (4%) from approximately $1,019,000 in 2022 to $1,058,000 in 2023. We incurred additional expense for product sampling of smoothie carton products, equipment maintenance incurred to relaunch bulk product sales in locations that had been non-operational as a result of COVID shutdowns and subsequent labor shortages, and broker commissions as we engaged numerous regional K-12 specialists to expand our geographic reach in the third quarter of 2022. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in personnel costs.
Storage and outbound freight expense decreased approximately $285,000 (-23%) from approximately $1,217,000 in 2022 to $932,000 in 2023 primarily as a result of the 26% decrease in product shipped as described in the discussion of revenue for the comparative year-to-date periods. The volume-related decrease in expense was partially offset by higher costs resulting from product mix and inefficiencies due to production transitions.

General and administrative expense decreased approximately $572,000 (-22%) from approximately $2,637,000 in 2022 to $2,065,000 in 2023.
Personnel cost represents the cost of employees including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and employment taxes and continues to be our largest cost. Personnel cost decreased by approximately $77,000 (-8%) from approximately $1,006,000 to $929,000. The decrease in personnel cost resulted primarily from the confirmation and recognition of our 2021 COVID-related tax credit, partially offset by bonus expense from the 2023 decision to cash settle a portion of the 2022 performance stock units.
Stock-based compensation increased by approximately $76,000 (21%) from $355,000 to $431,000 because 2023 directors’ fees that were expected to be paid in cash were converted to stock-based compensation.
Legal, professional and consulting fees decreased by $75,000 (-24%). We reduced outside services in an effort to conserve working capital.
Research and development expense decreased approximately $259,000 (-75%) from approximately $347,000 in 2022 to $88,000 in 2023. Expense was elevated in 2022 as we incurred pre-production expense related to the launch of our carton format, while 2023 expense was limited as activities were minimized to conserve working capital.
Other general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $162,000 (-30%) from approximately $543,000 in 2022 to $381,000 in 2023 primarily as a result of non-recurring costs related to our uplisting to the NASDAQ stock exchange in 2022, partially offset by legal costs related by our dispute with the Manufacturer.
Net loss
We had net losses of approximately $2,123,000 and $4,276,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net loss of approximately $2,153,000, was the result of the non-recurrence of the estimated refund claims and inventory disposal costs associated with the product withdrawal, improved margins, and a reduction of approximately $835,000 in operating expenses due to cost saving measures, reduced volume of product shipped, and the recognition of our COVID-related tax credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $541,000 compared with $1,801,000 at December 31, 2022. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as adjusted for non-cash depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $2,008,000 in operations.
The impact of COVID-19 on the Company is constantly evolving. The direct impact to our operations had begun to take effect at the close of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Specifically, our business was impacted by dining bans targeted at restaurants to reduce the size of public gatherings. Such bans precluded our single serve products from being served at those establishments for a number of weeks, and in some instances, resulted in abandoned product launches. Furthermore, many school districts closed regular attendance for a period of time thereby disrupting sales of product into that channel. More recently, we have experienced a disruption in the supply chain for manufacturing our products due to COVID-19. While further developments surrounding COVID-19 may arise, the business climate appears to have stabilized in 2023.

On June 1, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of 1,282,051 shares of its common stock at $4.68 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $6,000,000. In addition, holders of debt converted a total of $399,000 in principal and $234,000 in interest into 133,991 shares of common stock and debt in the amount of $840,000 was retired, leaving the Company with no debt.
From July to October 2023, the Company executed subscription agreements for $1,880,000 of a $2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering. The debt may be drawn in 25% increments, matures on the anniversary of the draw, bears interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless of earlier payment or conversion, and is mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If the Company has not exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt has the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. On October 23, 2023, the Company issued $1,390,000 of convertible notes pursuant to the subscription agreements, and immediately converted $1,207,000 of principal and interest into approximately 820,000 shares of common stock.
Our liquidity needs will depend on how quickly we are able to profitably ramp up sales, as well as our ability to control and reduce variable operating expenses, and to continue to control and reduce fixed overhead expense. Our current dispute with the Manufacturer and the resulting loss of product supply and legal expense continue to negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flow. While the introduction of our carton packaging format has mitigated the loss of supply, the product offering has not been accepted by some customers or as a substitute for the bottle product in all use cases. We have identified and are actively working to develop additional smoothie bottle manufacturing capacity. We expect expanded capacity to become available in early 2024, subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with contracting and pre-production activities.
Our operations to date have been financed by the sale of securities, the issuance of convertible debt and the issuance of short-term debt, including related party advances. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations with the capital raised we will be required to raise additional funds either in the form of equity or in the form of debt. There are no assurances that we will be able to generate the necessary capital to carry out our current plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and are effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
Management has concluded that there is a material weakness due to the control environment which led to a restatement in the second quarter of 2022. The control environment is impacted due to the company’s inadequate segregation of duties, including information technology control activities.
Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weakness and enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we have hired additional personnel to help ensure that we are able to properly implement internal control procedures.
Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As described in Note 5, the Company has an on-going dispute with the Manufacturer, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time.
From time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe a material unfavorable outcome to be remote.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 102,011 shares of common stock for services valued at $178,000. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Rule 506(b) and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, on the basis that (i) offers were made to a limited number of persons, (ii) each offer was made through direct communication with the offerees by the Company, (iii) each of the offerees, which included an officer and two directors of the Company, had the requisite sophistication and financial ability to bear risks of investing in the Company’s common stock, (iv) the Company provided disclosure to the offerees, and (v) there was no general solicitation and no commission or remuneration was paid in connection with the offers.

| 4 |
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any portion of the Note, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Investment Risks. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including the potential for the entire loss of Purchaser’s investment.
(e) Experience of Purchaser. Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(f) General Solicitation. Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
| 10 |
(g) Short Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(h) Non-Reliance on Statements of Agents. Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser has not relied on statements of any officer, director, employee or agent, or any of their agents, counsel or affiliates, of the Company not contained in this Agreement, the Company’s website (http://barfresh.com/presentations) or the Company’s SEC Filings in evaluating the merits of an investment in the Securities or in making its investment decision hereunder, and confirms that none of such persons has made any representations or warranties to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(i) Certain Fees. Purchaser has not entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person to brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of any Person other than as disclosed herein in Schedule 3.1(dd), if any, for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
| 11 |
(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities. Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, (provided that Purchaser provides the Company with an assurance letter, which shall not include an opinion of Purchaser’s counsel, in the form reasonably satisfactory to Company’s legal counsel, that such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144) or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section, except in accordance with applicable law. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by Purchaser.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Securities may be sold without restriction, the Company covenants to file in a timely manner (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144 such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Purchaser for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall issue a press release and Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. No Purchaser shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior consent of Purchaser, except (i) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.
4.5 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser (not including its agents or counsel) with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
| 12 |
4.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for capital expenditures, working capital and general operating expenses of the business.
4.7 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Indemnification of Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, Purchaser will indemnify and hold the Company and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that the Company may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against the Company in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing, and the Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Purchaser in writing, (ii) the Purchaser has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of Purchaser, in which case the Purchaser shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. Purchaser will not be liable to the Company under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by the Company effected without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any of the Company’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, or (iii) in an amount in excess of Purchaser’s gain upon Purchaser’s sale of the Conversion Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement.
| 13 |
4.8 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Conversion Shares pursuant to conversion of the Notes.
4.9 Listing of Common Stock; Certificates. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Trading Market. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of any Note and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company (at its expense) will issue and deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares (if certificated) to Purchaser, or if such shares are not certificated, will deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the shares held by Purchaser.
4.10 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4. Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4, Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

The Company agrees to file in a timely manner a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

5.5 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.

BARFRESH FOOD GROUP INC.
Promissory Note
No. _____
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Barfresh Food Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to the order of ___________ (“Holder”), or its permitted assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of [amount] ($________), or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with simple interest from the date of this Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to ten percent (10.0%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days (collectively, together with the Other Fees (as defined below), the “Obligations”). To the extent this Note has not been repaid, all unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months after the issuance date (the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amounts are declared due and payable by Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. This Note is one of a series of Promissory Notes called the 2023 Convertible Debt Series A (the “Series A Notes”) issued by the Company to investors with identical terms and on the same form as set forth herein (except that the holder, principal amount and date of issuance may differ in each note). Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated ______, 2023, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
1. Interest. Unless provided otherwise hereunder, interest will accrue from the Issuance Date of this Note on the original principal amount at the Interest Rate for twelve (12) months, regardless of the earlier payment or conversion of this Note.
2. Payments. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place or to such account as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Company, without set-off of any kind. Payments will be credited first to Other Fees, then to accrued but unpaid interest and the remainder applied to principal. The Company agrees it will offer all pre-payments on this Note on a pro rata basis with its pre-payments on the other Series A Notes so that the pre-payment on each Series A Note is the same percentage of the total payments made on all Series A Notes as the indebtedness under each Series A Note is of the total indebtedness under all Series A Notes. In the event the Holder of this Note receives a payment in excess of its pro rata share, the Holder agrees that the excess will be paid to the holders of the other Series A Notes.
3. Conversion.
(a) Conversion by Holder. At any time after six (6) months from the date of issuance of this Note, but prior to the Maturity Date, and on no more than four (4) occasions Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into shares of Common Stock, at the per share price (the “Per Share Conversion Price”), which is the greater of (i) $1.20 or (ii) 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock traded on the Trading Market, for the ten (10) trading days ending on the first trading day immediately preceding the written notice of conversion. Holder shall exercise such conversion right by delivery to the Company of a written notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion by Holder”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Conversion by the Company. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, and on no more than four (4) occasions, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Note and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into shares of Common Stock, at the Per Share Conversion Price. The Company shall exercise such conversion right by delivery to the Holders of a written notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion by Company”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The Company agrees that it will convert this Note on a pro rata basis with its conversion on the other Series A Notes, so that the amount converted is the same percentage of the total amount converted on all Series A Notes as the indebtedness under each Series A Notes is of the total indebtedness under all Series A Notes.
(c) Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, the Company (at its expense) will issue and deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares (if certificated) to Holder, or if such shares are not certificated, will deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the shares held by the Holder.
(d) Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that Holder will be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock as a result of any splits, recapitalizations, combinations or other similar transactions affecting the Company’s capital stock that occur prior to the conversion of this Note.
4. Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Paragraph 4 shall occur (herein individually referred to as an “Event of Default”), the Holder may, so long as such condition exists, declare all Obligations hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Company:
(a) Default in the payment of the principal or unpaid accrued interest of this Note when due and payable;
(b) The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Code, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action;
(c) If, within sixty (60) days after the commencement of an action against the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company) seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been vacated;
(d) A material breach by the Company of any of its representations or covenants contained herein; or
(e) Any declared default of the Company under any other material indebtedness that gives the holder thereof the right to accelerate such other indebtedness.
5. Subordination.
(a) This Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company.
(b) This Note is subordinated in right of payment to all current asset backed loan indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (whether or not such indebtedness is secured) to persons or entities regularly engaged in the business of lending money (the “Senior Debt”). No other Senior Debt shall be contracted before total payment or conversion of this Note. The Company hereby agrees, and by accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees, that so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding, upon notice from the holders of such Senior Debt (the “Senior Creditors”) to the Company that an event of default, or any event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an event of default, has occurred under the terms of the Senior Debt (a “Default Notice”), the Company will not make, and the Holder will not receive or retain, any payment under this Note. Nothing in this paragraph will preclude or prohibit the Holder from receiving and retaining any payment hereunder unless and until the Holder has received a Default Notice (which will be effective until waived in writing by the Senior Creditors or until the Senior Debt is paid in full). The Company will not issue any other unsecured debt (outside of these Series A Notes) while any Series A Notes remain outstanding.

6. Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties; provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder; provided, further, that Holder may assign its rights under this Note upon written notice to the Company. This Note may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), or an exemption therefrom, including pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by this Note. In addition, this Note may not be transferred unless the transferee enters into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Note. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. The Company’s Obligations are due only to the registered Holder of this Note.
7. Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Note that must be in writing will be deemed to have been delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided a confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); (iii) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same; (iv) upon receipt, when sent by email, provided a confirmation of receipt is emailed to sender from recipient.
8. Amendments and Waivers. Any terms of this Note may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of the Company and Holder.
9. Governing Law. This Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto will be governed, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
10. Enforcement Costs. If any action be commenced to enforce this Note, or to protect the interest of Holder, there shall be added to the amount due by the Company hereunder, the amount of any and all costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with such action, including but not limited to attorney’s fees (collectively, “Other Fees”), together with interest thereon, which shall be payable upon demand.
11. Reporting and Other Matters. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the two years preceding the date hereof and all information Holder can reasonably be expected to require to make a decision to enter into this Note is disclosed in such filings. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing or quotation of the Company Common Stock on the trading market on which the Company Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. The Company’s entering into this Note does not contravene the rules and regulations of the trading market on which the Company Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the stockholders of the Company is required for the Company to enter into this Note. The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the Common Stock’s listing or authorization for quotation (as the case may be) on the trading market on which the Company Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, so long as any amounts are due to Holder under this Note. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on its listed market. In the event that the Company is no longer current in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, then the Company, upon request by Holder, shall provide to Holder financial statements, corporate updates, and other information that will allow Holder to evaluate its investment in the Note and determine the accounting value thereof (“Valuation Information”), on a basis no less frequent than quarterly.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be issued as of the Issuance Date and Holder agrees to the terms and conditions of this Note.

| Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Barfresh Food Group Inc., (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 2010 in the State of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ready-to-drink and ready-to-blend beverages, particularly, smoothies, shakes and frappes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Vendor Concentrations
The Company is exposed to supply risk as a result of concentrations in its vendor base resulting from the use of a limited number of contract manufacturers. Purchases from the Company’s significant contract manufacturers as a percentage of all finished goods purchased were as follows:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), requires the valuation of assets and liabilities permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on a hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $211,000 in restricted cash related to a co-packing agreement. The restrictions were released in June 2023.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less allowances for credits and for any potential uncollectible amounts due to credit losses. We make estimates of the expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based on our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no allowance for expected credit losses.
Other Receivables
Other receivables consist of the Company’s 2021 Employer Retention Tax Credit claim, amounts due from vendors for materials acquired on their behalf for use in manufacturing the Company’s products, vendor rebates and freight claims.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
Storage and Shipping Costs
Storage and outbound freight costs are included in selling, marketing and distribution expense. For the three months ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $370,000 and $273,000, respectively. For the nine months ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, storage and outbound freight totaled approximately $932,000 and $1,040,000, respectively.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $32,000 and $220,000, in research and development expense for the three months ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $88,000 and $347,000, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 common stock equivalents have not been included in the calculation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive as a result of losses incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 financial statements to conform to the 2023 presentation, namely the presentation of selling, marketing and distribution expense apart from general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, the reclassification of materials shipping from selling, marketing and distribution to cost of revenue, and the presentation of the components of cash used in operations.
Recent Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

This Company’s previously filed unaudited statement of operations and cash flow statement and audited balance sheets have been restated to correct errors in calculating depreciation. From a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the Company determined that correcting the previously filed financial statements would not require amendment to its previously filed reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K. The effect of the correction of previously issued financial statements is summarized below:

Lease Commitments
The Company leases office space under a non-cancellable operating lease which expired on March 31, 2023, and was extended in a series of amendments through March 31, 2024. The Company’s periodic lease cost was approximately $20,000 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $60,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Legal Proceedings
Schreiber Dispute
The Company’s products are produced to its specifications through several contract manufacturers. One of the Company’s contract manufacturers (the “Manufacturer”) provided approximately 52% and 42% of the Company’s products in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under a Supply Agreement with an initial term through September 2025.
Over the course of 2022, the Company experienced numerous quality issues with the case packaging utilized by the Manufacturer. In addition, in July of 2022, the Company began receiving customer complaints about the texture of the Company’s smoothie products produced by the Manufacturer. In response, the Company withdrew product from the market and destroyed on-hand inventory, withholding $499,000 in payments due to the Manufacturer.
The Company attempted to resolve the issues based on the contractual procedures described in the Supply Agreement. However, on November 4, 2022, in response to a formal proposal of alternate resolutions, the Company received notification from the Manufacturer that it was denying any responsibility for the defective manufacture of the product. In response, on November 10, 2022, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division (the “Complaint”), claiming that the Manufacturer had not met its obligations under the Supply Agreement, and seeking economic damages. In response, the Manufacturer terminated the Supply Agreement. On January 20, 2023, the Company filed a voluntary dismissal of the Complaint which allowed the parties to reach a potential resolution outside of the court system. However, as the parties were once again unable to come to an agreement, the Company re-filed the Complaint in California State Court in August 2023.
Due to the uncertainties surrounding the claim, the Company is not able to predict either the outcome or a range of reasonably possible recoveries that could result from its actions against the Manufacturer, and no gain contingencies have been recorded. The disruption in its supply resulting from the dispute has and will continue to adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and cash flow until a suitable resolution is reached or new sources of reliable supply at sufficient volume can be identified and developed, the timing of which is uncertain. The Company has mitigated the impact of the supply disruption with the introduction of its single-serve smoothie cartons; however the product format has not been accepted by some customers or as a substitute for the bottle product in all use cases.
Other legal matters
From time to time, various lawsuits and legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently the defendant in one legal proceeding for an amount less than $100,000. Our legal counsel and management believe the probability of a material unfavorable outcome is remote.

| Convertible Debt Subscriptions | Note 6. Convertible Debt Subscriptions
From July to October of 2023, the Company executed subscription agreements for $1,880,000 of a $2,000,000 privately placed convertible debt offering. The debt may be drawn in 25% increments, matures on the anniversary of the draw, bears interest at 10% per annum for the term, regardless of earlier payment or conversion, and is mandatorily convertible as to principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at the greater of $1.20 or 85% of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the written notice of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”). If the Company has not exercised the mandatory conversion, the holder of the debt has the option after six months and on up to four occasions to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price. The Company made its initial drawdown on the convertible debt on October 23, 2023, as described in Note 10.

| Stockholders’ Equity | Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity
The following are changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023:
Warrants
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 936,375 warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $6.00 per share expired.
Equity Incentive Plan
Through 2022, the Company issued equity awards under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and outside the Plan. In June 2023, the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), reserving shares for future issuance. The Board of Directors discontinued further grants under the 2015 Plan.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $ of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense relative to unvested options, stock awards and stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of years.
Stock Options
Restricted Stock
Performance Share Units
During 2022 and 2023, the Company issued performance share units (“PSUs”) that represented shares potentially issuable based upon Company and individual performance in the years of issuance.
In February 2023, the unvested awards issued for individual performance and outstanding at January 1, 2023 were modified to cash-settle the original grant-date fair value of approximately $, resulting in incremental compensation of $ after considering the $ fair value of the vested shares at the date of the modification. Additionally, the Company performance targets were modified to allow approximately PSUs to vest, with an additional time-based vesting requirement for approximately of the PSUs. Because the awards did not vest based on the original terms, the modification was considered a new grant, resulting in $ in compensation expense in the nine-months ended September 30, 2023.
The Company adopted a 2023 PSU program in April 2023, granting approximately PSUs at target performance against company-wide metrics. An additional PSUs were granted in September 2023 for performance against individual goals, replacing the Company’s cash bonus program. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include $ in expense for the 2023 PSU program. Estimates of expense associated with 2023 performance will be reassessed each quarter through the performance period.

| Income Taxes | Note 8. Income Taxes
ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. Accordingly, at this time the Company has placed a valuation allowance on all tax assets. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated effective tax rate for 2023 was zero.
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2018 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

| Liquidity | Note 9. Liquidity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used cash for operations of $2,008,000. The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flow, which were expected to improve with growth, offset by working capital required to achieve such growth. As described more fully in Note 5, the dispute and subsequent contract termination with the Manufacturer has resulted in limitations in our ability to procure certain products, which has and may continue to inhibit our ability to achieve positive cash flow until we are able to expand our manufacturing capacity. Additionally, management has considered that dispute resolution, including litigation, is costly and will require the outlay of cash.
However, as of September 30, 2023, the Company has $1,011,000 of cash and funding commitments of approximately $1,880,000, as more fully described in Note 6. As such, even though management has identified certain indicators, these indicators do not raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of its potential actions to generate liquidity, including the availability of additional financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as planned.

On May 5, 2023, the Company received a notice letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Rule”), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity, $35,000,000 market value of listed securities, or $500,000 net income from continuing operations. In its quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,845,000, and as a result, did not satisfy the Rule. On June 14, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting the Company an extension through October 30, 2023 to regain compliance with the Rule.
On October 23, 2023, the Company issued convertible notes in the amount of $1,390,000 pursuant to the subscription agreements described in Note 6. Note balances of $1,207,000 were immediately converted into approximately shares of common stock. A pro-forma balance sheet giving effect to the transactions is presented below:
Management believes that taking into consideration the October 23, 2023 note issuance and conversion, the Company satisfies the stockholders’ equity requirement on a pro-forma basis as of September 30, 2023 and as of October 26, 2023. Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Rule and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, it may be subject to delisting. |

| Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments | Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), requires the valuation of assets and liabilities permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on a hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value.

Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
