CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.
From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. We have based these forward-looking statements and statements of belief on our current expectations and assumptions about future events as of the date of this report. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should consider carefully the statements in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections of this report, which describe factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (business acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC) to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”) to pursue the production of freeze dried fruits and vegetables, a business we later expanded to include freeze dried candy. At that time, our common stock began to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG,” from the former trading symbol “ANFC.” Prior to April 2, 2012, Black Ridge Oil & Gas was known as Ante5, Inc., a publicly traded company since July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, Ante5, Inc. and Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. participated in the acquisition and development of oil and gas leases.
On May 5, 2021, the Company announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze dried consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launched its first line of non-GMO products including ready-to-make smoothies, gluten-free granola and snacks.
After launching a freeze dried candy product line in the first quarter of 2023, the Company now has seventeen SKU offerings of candy, and five crunch ice cream SKU as of June 30, 2024, that are projected to continue being a major driver of growth. After launching our freeze dried candy product line we discontinued our smoothie, snack and granola products. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company completed the construction of our second and third freeze driers and to facilitate the increased production demands for our recently launched candy products. The significant and rising demand for our freeze dried candy products has led us to add a fourth freeze drier in the first quarter of 2024, our fifth freeze drier in the second quarter of 2024 and begin construction of our sixth freeze drier, which we expect to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.
Effective February 15, 2024, Sow Good Inc. reincorporated to the State of Delaware from the State of Nevada under the name Sow Good Inc. pursuant to a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), dated
Upon effectiveness of the Reincorporation:
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Because these financial statements address interim periods, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires annual and interim reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Environmental Liabilities
The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market accounts which have maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
The Company estimates its reserve based on historical loss information. The Company believes that historical loss information is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at the reporting date because the composition of the trade receivables at the reporting date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages. However, the Company will continue to monitor and adjust the historical loss rates to reflect the effects of current conditions and forecasted changes.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory has been determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount.

Construction in progress is stated at cost, which predominately relates to the cost of freezers and equipment not yet placed into service. No depreciation expense is recorded on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and put into use.
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Depreciation of property and equipment was $
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its freeze dried food products, in accordance with a five-step model in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, shipping and handling costs of $

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the

periods where potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect and they were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 2018-07”). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
Stock-based compensation related to the issuance of shares of common stock for services consisted of $
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities can periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, to require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The ASU’s amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial statements and related disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the six month ended June 30, 2024, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which requires the measurement of certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature, and Term Loans issued in connection with detachable warrants, which are carried on the balance sheet net of the unamortized portion of the related discounts. For financial instruments or investments that are required to be reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis under GAAP, the applicable guidance for fair value measurement requires the Company to include the determination of the appropriate fair value hierarchy level for each instrument. The fair value hierarchy levels consist of the following:
Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities - This level represents the highest degree of observability, where fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs Other Than Quoted Prices Included within Level 1 - Fair values in this level are based on inputs other than quoted market prices but are still observable, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs derived from market data.
Level 3: Unobservable Inputs - This level includes fair values for which there are no observable inputs and relies on the reporting entity's own assumptions and estimates. These fair values are considered the least reliable and most subjective.
Detachable common stock warrants issued in connection with debt may be recorded as either liabilities or equity depending on the applicable accounting guidance. The Company determined that warrants issued in connection with our notes payable met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and qualified for treatment as permanent equity. Warrants recorded as equity are recorded at the fair market value determined at issuance date, and are not remeasured after that. We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of warrants granted at issuance date. The initial measurement of the fair value of the notes considers the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of interest at the issuance date, and time to liquidity. The Company allocated the value of warrants between the relative fair value of the notes payable without the warrants, and the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The allocated portion of the warrants was treated as a debt discount, and amortized over the term of the note. The amortization of the debt discount is recognized as interest expense. When a notes payable are issued at a discount, wherein a significant portion of the issuance is between related parties, the valuation of the notes and the discount involve significant judgment and the use of unobservable inputs, classifying it into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, requiring a nonrecurring fair value measurement. Changes other than additions, settlements, or discount amortization, in the fair value of the notes payable, net of discounts do not impact net income or cash flows.

Note 8 – Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a finance lease or operating lease at inception and recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. For operating leases, our right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with rent expense recorded to operating expenses. The Company has elected the practical expedient of not separating lease components from nonlease components. The depreciable life of related leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.

Overview and Outlook
Sow Good is a trailblazing U.S.-based freeze dried candy and snack manufacturer dedicated to providing consumers with innovative and explosively flavorful freeze dried treats. Sow Good has harnessed the power of our proprietary freeze drying technology and product-specialized manufacturing facility to transform traditional candy into a novel and exciting everyday confectioneries subcategory that we call freeze dried candy. We began commercializing our freeze dried candy products in the first quarter of 2023, and as of June 30, 2024, we have seventeen stock keeping units (“SKUs”) in our Sow Good Candy line of treats and five SKUs in our Sow Good Crunch Cream line. We sell our treats using an omnichannel strategy primarily focused on the wholesale and retail channels with less than 2% of sales coming from e-commerce as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, our treats are offered for sale in over 5,850 brick-and-mortar retail outlets in the United States. The rapid demand growth for our delectable treats since their retail debut in March 2023 highlights our consumers’ excitement for our novel and explosively flavorful treats that “satisfy your sweet tooth in fewer bites.”
We have custom-built a 20,945 square foot freeze drying facility in Irving, Texas, and have entered into additional co-manufacturing arrangements in China and Colombia, that together allow us to freeze dry up to thirty million units per year to our demanding quality and safety specifications. Freeze drying removes up to 99% of moisture from a product in its frozen state by applying a small amount of heat in an extremely low air pressure, near outer space-like environment, through the use of massive vacuum chambers, resulting in moisture being removed from the product at the speed of sound. This process of removing moisture from the product, which can take up to twenty-four hours, concentrates its flavor, creating a “hyper dried, hyper crunchy, and hyper flavorful” snackable treat. Our commitment to providing the most flavorful and crunchy treats extends into the product packaging process, where our employees are dedicated to hand-packaging our treats through our precision packaging process in vigilantly managed low humidity conditions to protect our treats from reintroduction to moisture.
We have built five bespoke freeze driers using proprietary technology tailored specifically to our products, creating a truly state-of-the-art facility in Irving, Texas. We are in the process of fabricating and operationalizing our sixth freeze drier, which we anticipate will come online in our Irving, Texas facility in the third quarter of 2024. We have placed deposits on six additional freeze driers, which we aim to have operational within the next nine months in our new 324,000 square foot facility in Dallas Texas. In addition, due to strong customer demand, we have entered into co-manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers whose freeze drying facilities meet our exacting production, sanitation and allergen control requirements, as well as our food quality and safety standards. Currently, all of our products manufactured by third parties are shipped to our facilities in Texas for packaging.
Sow Good is led by co-founders Claudia and Ira Goldfarb, who have over a decade of manufacturing experience with an extensive freeze drying background, dedication to job creation, and proven track record of identifying and growing niche trends into everyday categories. Under their leadership, our revenues have grown from $1.3 million during the three month ended June 30, 2023 to approximately $15.6 million for the three month ended June 30, 2024.
We believe the candy category is stagnant, repetitive, and in need of revitalization to reengage and captivate consumers seeking innovative ways to satisfy their sweet cravings. We see our market opportunity existing at the intersection of two categories: the burgeoning freeze dried candy and non-chocolate confections. According to the NCA, the non-chocolate confections market grew 13.8% in sales in 2022, exceeding $10 billion, and according to Grand View Research is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. We believe the nascent freeze dried candy market is poised for exponential growth given increasing consumer preferences for novel and distinctive candy products. According to the NCA, approximately 61% of shoppers occasionally or frequently seek out products they have never purchased before. Given our exceptional performance in retail launches, surging customer demand, and increasing production capacity, we are confident that we can catapult freeze dried candy from a trendy spark on social media to a stable, top-performing consumer confectionery category in retail.
Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers, such as Five Below, Target, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Big Lots, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, Circle K, 7/11, HEB Kroger and Albertsons. In addition, we sell a substantial portion of our products through distributors such as Redstone Foods, CB Distributors and Nassau Distributors. We believe there is a significant growth opportunity in increasing our shelf presence, SKU portfolio, and number of stores with our existing customers. For many of these customers, we launched with a limited number of SKUs and are now significantly outpacing initial sales projections. As we scale production, we will have the ability to increase the availability of our
29
products to these customers in current locations and distribution to more of their stores, while also broadening our SKU portfolio offerings. Bolstering our distribution will be a key growth driver for Sow Good so more of our products are available wherever our consumers choose to shop, whether it be a retail store, convenience store, or directly online. To further support our retail launches with existing customers and strengthen our brand name, we are also introducing our product displays with distinctive designs and product highlights to enhance our visibility in current stores and educate new consumers on the advantages of freeze dried treats. We believe this strategy will capture the attention of new consumers, further educate and attract current consumers, and ultimately, increase sales for our retailers.
Our highly differentiated omnichannel distribution strategy has three key components: retailers, e-commerce, and distributors. In aggregate, this omnichannel strategy provides us with a diverse set of consumers and customer partners, leading to a larger TAM opportunity than is normally available to products sold only in grocery stores, along with an opportunity to develop a direct relationship with our customers at our website, www.thisissowgood.com.
Key Factors Affecting our Performance
We believe the growth of our business and our future success is dependent upon many factors. While the factors and trends described below present significant opportunities for us, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address to enable us to sustain the growth of our business and improve our results of operations. These factors and trends in our business have driven fluctuations in revenues over the periods presented and are expected to be key drivers of our results of operations and liquidity position for the foreseeable future.
Ability to Meet Customer Demand through Production Capacity Expansion
Our customers consistently seek higher quantities of our treats than we can supply. In order for us to meet existing demand, we are actively expanding our internal production capacity and co-manufacturing arrangements. The speed and efficiency at which we are able to expand our production capacity, either internally or through co-manufacturing arrangements, will impact our results of operations. Our ability to grow and meet future demand will be affected by our ability to properly plan for additional production capacity and co-manufacturing arrangements.
Consumer Trends
We compete in the freeze dried candy and non-chocolate confections segments of the greater food industry. According to the NCA, the non-chocolate confections market grew 13.8% in sales in 2022, exceeding $10 billion, and according to Grand View Research is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. We believe the nascent freeze dried candy market is poised for exponential growth given increasing consumer preferences for novel and distinctive candy products. According to the NCA, approximately 61% of shoppers occasionally or frequently seek out products they have never purchased before. While we believe our products are designed to provide alternatives for consumers looking for innovative treats, we also believe our candy products have broad appeal due to our uncompromising approach to developing a product line suited to a wide base of consumer tastes. We believe our ability to attract the robust and growing consumer base seeking the novel, crunchy and hyper flavorful experience our products provide will allow us to add distribution points with our retail customers and increase our revenues, which we believe will help us scale and increase our gross margin from sales of our products.
Ability to Grow Our Customer Base in Retail and Traditional Wholesale Distribution Channels
We are currently growing our customer base in a variety of physical retail and traditional wholesale distribution channels. Our products have launched in retailers nationwide from convenience and grocery stores to big-box retailers, such as Five Below, Target, Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods, TJX Canada, Big Lots, Hy-Vee, Cracker Barrel, Circle K, 7/11, HEB, Kroger and Albertsons. In addition, we sell a substantial portion of our products through distributors such as Redstone, CB Distributors and Nassau Distributors. We continue to increase our shelf presence, SKU portfolio and number of stores with existing customers. In addition, given the nascent state of the freeze dried candy segment and the number of potential retailer and wholesaler customers, we also believe there is a significant growth opportunity with customer acquisition in both the retail and wholesale channels, domestically and internationally. Customer acquisition in these channels depends on, among other things, our go-to-market function and our ability to meet the demand of customers who require large volumes of products.
30
Ability to Optimize Our Liquidity Position While Scaling
Our primary focus is developing our production capacity, which requires significant working capital for inventory and supply chain management, and capital expenditures for additional freeze driers domestically and our expansion outside the United States. Our ability to effectively manage our liquidity position while increasing production capabilities will impact our cash flow and capitalization, including the need for additional working capital through future equity offerings or debt arrangements.
Growth of Our Team and Facilities
As of June 30, 2024, we had 226 full-time personnel who work across various functional areas within our business, including manufacturing, sales, marketing, and administration.
On May 29, 2024, we announced a major expansion with a long-term lease for a new 324,000 square foot production facility in Dallas, Texas. This strategic expansion is set to significantly increase the Company’s production capacity, accelerating the Company's ability to meet the increasing demand for its innovative freeze dried treats.
The state-of-the-art Dallas facility dedicates approximately 306,600 square feet to production, packaging and distribution, while reserving 17,400 square feet for office space. The new facility will streamline logistics and distribution, centralizing all future in-house production expansions.
We have also significantly expanded our accounting functions, as well as our executive team, to support our rapid growth, particularly since March 2023. Growing our production capacity has accounted for a majority of the increase in employee headcount over that period as we scale our self-manufacturing capacity at our two Texas facilities, and we anticipate that commencing operations at the new facility will continue to accelerate this growth. As we expand our manufacturing capacity and corporate functions, our headcount will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we have increased, and will continue to increase our accounting headcount as a result of the ever increasing demands as a public reporting company.
We also expect to continue to increase our headcount across various functional areas as we expand our business operations, which could substantially increase our selling and distribution expense, marketing expense, and administrative expense. The anticipated increase in the size of our workforce may also require us to expand our current facilities or obtain new facilities, which will in turn necessitate additional capital expenditures and further increase our operational expense. However, while we expect to grow our headcount over time, we may experience challenges hiring and retaining a sufficient number of employees.
Ability to Expand Our Product Line
Our goal is to substantially expand our product line over time to increase our growth opportunity and reduce product-specific risks through SKU diversification into multiple products. Our pace of growth will be partially affected by the cadence and magnitude of new product launches over time. We believe the commercialization of these new products will require us to hire additional employees within our product design and commercialization team, thereby increasing our marketing expense, as well as research and development costs within our administrative expense.
Impact of inflation on operations.
We expect supplies and prices of the ingredients that we are going to use to be affected by a variety of factors, such as weather, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the producing countries. These factors subject us to shortages or interruptions in product supplies, which could adversely affect our revenue and profits. In addition, we may face limits on the ability to source some of the candy for our freeze dried candy products.
Seasonality
Because we are early in our lifecycle of growth, it is difficult to discern the exact magnitude of seasonality affecting our business from a demand standpoint. While evidence of any demand seasonality is currently difficult to assess because of our growth, we anticipate certain holiday cycles such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day contributing to revenue fluctuations within a given year. In addition, we have become aware of external data showing a general trend in candy consumer behavior regarding reduced candy purchasing in summer months due to a variety of factors including greater levels of health consciousness during warm weather. Operationally, we have seen increased difficulty with the transportation of our freeze dried treats due to recent heat waves in July and August, resulting in temporarily reduced shipments and increased inventory levels. We do anticipate a return to a normal cadence with the seasonal reduction in temperatures to a level where our treats can be shipped without damage. As a result, we anticipate an annual
31
temporary decrease in shipments of our treats during summer months, which we believe is consistent with the greater candy industry trend.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023
Revenues
Sales of freeze dried candy for the period ended June 30, 2024 were $15.6 million, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $14.3 million, or 1,090%. Revenues increased on higher sales volumes driven primarily by new customer additions and an improvement in sales price and mix, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $6.6 million, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.7 million, or 129%. Cost of goods sold, primarily consisted of material costs and labor related to the sales of freeze dried candy products. Cost of goods sold increased as we increased sales. Costs of goods sold in the comparative period of 2023 included $1.9 million in write-offs of obsolete inventory.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.0 million, compared to gross loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.6 million, or 670%. Our gross profit increased primarily due to significantly increased revenues, coupled with lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales. Our gross profit margin was 58% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to (120)% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit margin increased over the comparative period due to increased sales and production scale, raw material cost improvements and the inclusion of a large write-off of obsolete inventory during the comparative period of 2023.
Operating Expenses
Salaries and Benefits
Salaries and benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.1 million, compared to $319.6 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.8 million, or 564.4%. Salaries and benefits included stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $131.8 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.0 million. Stock-based compensation consists of stock options expense for employees and officers of the Company. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to the amortization of stock options granted in December 2023.
33
Professional Services
General and administrative expenses related to professional services were $594.3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $63.3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $530.9 thousand, or 838.4%. The increase was primarily due to increased professional service expenses as the Company scaled up the business and invested in system and process improvements and increases in professional fees in connection with our underwritten public offering and Nasdaq listing.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.4 million, compared to $500.4 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.9 million, or 179.6%. Other General and Administrative expense includes facilities costs to the extent they are not allocated to inventory, travel related to the public offering, and marketing and advertising costs. Share compensation to members of the Board of Directors is also included, which totaled $9.5 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $125.2 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property and equipment was $199.8 thousand and $79.2 thousand, of which and $194.9 and $70 thousand was allocated to cost of goods sold, which resulted in net depreciation expense of $5 thousand and $9.2 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Other Income (Expense)
In the three months ended June 30, 2024, other expense consisted mainly of interest expense derived from notes payable and the amortization of warrants issued as a debt discount of $599.7 thousand and a loss on early extinguishment of $696.5 thousand. During the period ended June 30, 2023, interest expense on notes payable $847.5 thousand.
Net Income (Loss)

The transition to net income from net loss was primarily due the increase in gross profit of $10.6 million, or 670% and increased operating expenses of only $3.2 million or 361.9%, as a result of the conversion to freeze dried candy products after the first three months of 2023.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax assets, primarily due to our historical net loss position. For each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized federal income tax of $257,918, and $0, respectively.

Revenues
Sales of freeze dried candy were $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $25.5 million, or 1,687%. Revenues increased over the comparative period due to the pivot to freeze dried candy, the installation of new freezers, and addition of new retail customers in the current period.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $13.4 million, compared to $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.4 million, or 350%. Cost of goods sold, primarily consists of material costs and labor on the sales of freeze dried food products. During the prior year comparative period, cost of goods sold included a one-time inventory write down of $1.9 million as we disposed of non-candy freeze dried products to pivot exclusively to our better selling candy products. Our gross profit margin was 50% during the current period, compared to a loss margin of (97)% during the comparative period.

Salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4.5 million, compared to $831.2 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.6 million, or 438%. Salaries and benefits included stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $2.2 million, compared to $258.7 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.9 million, or 754%, mainly due to the amortization of performance shares granted December 15, 2023. Other increases in salaries and benefits were cash bonuses of $850 thousand, and wages and payroll tax increases of $822.0 thousand over the comparative period, as a result of sales growth.
Professional services
Professional services were $1.1 million for the 2024 period, compared to $109.5 thousand for the 2023 period, an increase of $952.6 thousand, or 870%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $750 thousand in legal fees in connection with our underwritten public offering and Nasdaq listing and $130 thousand incurred in connection with the company growth.
35
Other general and administrative expenses
Other general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.3 million, compared to $884.5 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million, or 157%. The increase is primarily attributable to higher facilities and marketing costs driven by company growth.
Depreciation
Depreciation of property and equipment was $366,784 and $155,416, of which and $352,307 and $70,040 was allocated to cost of goods sold, which resulted in net depreciation expense of $14,477 and $85,377 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Other expense
In the six months ended June 30, 2024, other expense was $1.7 million, consisting of $1.0 million of interest expense on our notes payable and $696.5 thousand of loss on early extinguishment of debt. During the comparative six months ended June 30, 2023, other expense was $1.3 million, consisting of interest expense on our notes payable. Interest expense decreased by $327.5 thousand or 24%, due to full and partial repayments of notes payable during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt, and decreased the principal upon which stated interest is calculated.
Net income (loss)
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.1 million, compared to a net loss of $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, a positive change of $8.8 million. The increased net income was due primarily to higher revenues coupled with positive margins.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company maintains a full valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax assets, primarily due to our historical net loss position. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized federal income tax of $257,918, and $0, respectively.

4,466,637 |

As of June 30, 2024, we had working capital of $26.0 million, compared to working capital of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The increased working capital is mainly attributable to increases in cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, partially offset by increased accounts payable. As of June 30, 2024, our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $14.4 million, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2023. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures related to the development and operation of our freeze dried candy business. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely dependent on our success in deploying additional capital. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on hand and additional financing in the form of equity or debt as needed.
On May 2, 2024 we priced a registered underwritten public offering of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. On May 9, the underwriters exercised an overallotment option for the purchase of an additional 180,000 shares of our common stock. Together with the sale of the additional shares sold pursuant to the overallotment option, the offering netted approximately $12.0 million in proceeds, after offering costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.
Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Commodity Price Risk
We do not expect any significant effects from commodity price risk outside of inherent inflationary risks.
Interest Rate Risk
We are not a party to agreements that subject us to floating rates of interest and do not anticipate entering into any transactions that would expose us to any direct interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
We did not hold a material amount of cash in foreign jurisdictions as of June 30, 2024. However, we anticipate that as our foreign operations grow, we may hold more cash in foreign jurisdictions, particularly Mexico, Colombia and China, and possibly expose ourselves to greater currency fluctuation risk than we currently experience.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on her evaluation as of June 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer, Claudia Goldfarb, and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Brendon Fischer concluded that our disclosure controls and
39
procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives and to ensure the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various types of legal proceedings. We do not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The following issuances of our securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
On March 28, 2024, the Company raised $3,738,078 of capital from the sale of 515,597 newly issued shares of common stock at a share price of $7.25 in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Investors in the private placement included Sow Good’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, in addition to certain other Sow Good board members, related parties, and accredited investors. The proceeds were used in funding incremental capital expenditures and general operating expenses.
On May 2, 2024, the Company priced its registered underwritten public offering of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 at a price of $10.00 per share. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day overallotment option to purchase up to 180,000 additional shares of common stock and issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock. On May 1, 2024, the Company received approval to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market stock exchange (“Nasdaq”). Trading on Nasdaq commenced on May 2, 2024. On May 9, 2024, the underwriters purchased all of the Additional Shares pursuant to the full exercise of their overallotment option. Including proceeds from the Additional Shares, the proceeds from the public offering were approximately $11,974,976 net of offering expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds are currently anticipated to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures for the expansion of our production capacity, funding working and growth capital, the expansion of our sales and marketing function and the reduction of certain tranches of our indebtedness.
On April 15, 2024, the Company issued 2,186,250 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants that were issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (the “Warrants”), with exercise prices varying from $2.21 to $2.60 (the “Warrant Exercise”). None of the Warrants were amended prior to or in connection with the Warrant Exercise. Each of the exercising holders of warrants (collectively, the "Holders”), received its warrants in connection with the incurrence by the Company of indebtedness pursuant to various tranches of promissory notes issued between December 2021 and May 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Warrants were classified as permanent equity at inception. Due to a redemption feature in the Warrants allowing the Company to redeem the Warrants for $0.001 per Warrant if the daily volume weighted average price per share over thirty consecutive trading days is above $9.00, the Company received indications of intent to exercise Warrants from various Holders given the recent increase in trading price of the Company's common stock. With authorization from the Company's Board of Directors, each of the Holders was provided an opportunity to, and agreed to, amend certain of such Holder’s Notes (the “Notes Amendment”) to allow for the partial prepayment of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the exercise price of such Holder’s Warrants. In addition to the Notes Amendment, certain of the Holders elected use a portion of the accrued but unpaid interest under such Holder’s Notes to pay the exercise price of the Warrants. Certain of the Notes were repaid in full as a result of the Warrant Exercise and thereby did not need to be amended pursuant to the Notes Amendment (the Warrant Exercise, whether by partial or full repayment of principal, or by election to use a portion of accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes, together with the Notes Amendment, the “Warrant Exercise Transaction”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise Transaction, excluding the impact of deferred debt costs, the Company’s debt was reduced by $5,200,362, accrued interest payable was reduced by $98,750, common equity was increased by $5,299,112 and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,186,250 shares of common stock.
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 50,459 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options by employees, directors, and consultants under its 2020 Stock Option Plan. The aggregate proceeds from the exercise of these options were approximately $163,854. The proceeds are currently anticipated to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures for the expansion of our production capacity, funding working and growth capital, the expansion of our sales and marketing function and the reduction of certain tranches of our indebtedness.

The proceeds are currently anticipated to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures for the expansion of our production capacity, funding working and growth capital, the expansion of our sales and marketing function and the reduction of certain tranches of our indebtedness.
