NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION Organization Healthier Choices Management Corp. (the “Company” or “HCMC”) is a holding company focused on monetizing its intellectual property through royalty and licensing agreements, facilitated by its wholly owned subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC. HCMC’s IP portfolio includes patents related to innovative products, such as the Q-Cup and Imitine, which the company actively markets. HCMC is engaged in litigation against prominent tobacco industry player R.J. Reynolds, asserting claims of patent infringement. The Company administers and intends to augment its intellectual property portfolio via its wholly owned subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC. The Company continues to promote its patented Q-Cup™ technology directly to consumers in the vaping market. This cutting-edge design includes a small quartz cup that users can fill with cannabis or CBD concentrate. Once placed in a Q-Cup™ Tank or Globe, the cup is heated externally without direct contact with the concentrate. This innovative approach provides greater efficiency and a convenient solution for consumers who vape concentrates for both medicinal and recreational use. Spin-Off HCMC announced on August 22, 2022 that its Board of Directors approved the separation of the Grocery business, including wellness business, into an independent, publicly traded company (the “Spin-Off” or “Separation”). Prior to the Spin-Off, the Grocery segment was operated under the holding company Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. (“HCWC”). HCWC was a subsidiary of HCMC, and operated the Ada’s Natural Market, Paradise Health & Nutrition, Mother Earth’s Storehouse, Greens Natural Foods, Ellwood Thompson’s, and GreenAcres Market retail brands, as well as licensed wellness centers and Healthy U Wholesale. On September 13, 2024 (the “Spin-Off Date”), after the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSEAM”) market closing, the Spin-Off of the HCWC business was completed. On September 14, 2024, HCWC became an independent, publicly traded company, and on September 16, 2024, the stock commenced trading on the NYSEAM under the stock symbol “HCWC.” HCWC distributed all the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by it on a pro rata basis to holders of HCMC’s common stock (the “Distribution”). For each 208,632 shares of HCMC common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), on September 9, 2024, the record date for the Spin-Off (the “Record Date”), a HCMC stockholder was entitled to receive one share of Class A common stock and three shares of Class B common stock. The Distribution was made in book-entry form by a distribution agent as soon as practicable after the date of the Distribution. As a result of the Spin-Off, the operating results for the HCWC business through the date of the Spin-Off are reported in Loss from Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reflect only the Company’s continuing operations. For additional information, see Note 2, “Discontinued Operations.”

NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On September 13, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced separation and distribution of its Grocery segment into an independent publicly traded company, HCWC. The separation was structured as a tax-free spin-off, which occurred by way of a pro rata distribution to HCMC stockholders. Each of the HCMC stockholders received one share of HCWC Class A common stock and three shares of Class B common stock for every 208,632 shares of HCMC common stock held of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2024. HCWC is now an independent public company listed under the symbol “HCWC” on the NYSEAM. The Company retained no ownership interest in HCWC following the Separation. Cash of $2.2 million held by HCWC and its subsidiary were transferred to HCWC on the Distribution Date. HCMC and HCWC settled intercompany balances in the amount of $<span id="xdx_909_eus-gaap--CashAndCashEquivalentsAtCarryingValue_iI_pn5n6_c20240913__srt--ConsolidatedEntitiesAxis__custom--HealthyChoiceWellnessCorpMember_z9Igx40yIwR5" title="Intercompany balance settled amount">1.2 million on the Spin-Off date. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a net reduction to retained earnings of $1.0 million as a result of the Separation, primarily related to the transfer of certain assets and liabilities associated with its grocery business to HCWC. Following the Spin-Off, the Company entered into several agreements with HCWC that govern the relationship of the parties. These agreements include: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.24in"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.24in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">a Separation Agreement (“SA”) that sets forth HCWC’s and the Company’s agreements regarding the principal actions that both parties take in connection with the Spin-Off and aspects of our relationship following the Spin-Off;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which HCWC and the Company provide each other specified services on a transitional basis to help ensure an orderly transition following the Spin-Off.</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">a Tax Matters Agreement that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of HCWC and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and includes restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Spin-Off; and</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">an Employee Matters Agreement that addresses employment, compensation and benefits matters, including the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities arising out of employee compensation and benefits programs in which our employees participated prior to the Spin-Off.</td></tr> </table> Under the terms of the transition services agreement, HCMC will provide to HCWC, on a transitional basis, certain services or functions, including information technology, accounting, human resources, and payroll functions. Generally, these services will be provided for a period of up to one year following the Spin-Off. Consideration and costs for the transition services will be determined using several billing methodologies as described in the agreements, including customary billing and pass-through billing. Costs for transition services provided to HCWC are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the nature of the services. Following the Spin-Off, the Company recognized a reduction of costs of $<span id="xdx_902_eus-gaap--CostDepreciationAmortizationAndDepletion_pn5n6_c20240701__20240930__srt--ConsolidatedEntitiesAxis__custom--HealthyChoiceWellnessCorpMember_zulJXQceRjae" title="Reduction costs for services"><span id="xdx_906_eus-gaap--CostDepreciationAmortizationAndDepletion_pn5n6_c20241001__20241231__srt--ConsolidatedEntitiesAxis__custom--HealthyChoiceWellnessCorpMember_zr6AE0ETVw8f" title="Reduction costs for services">0.4 million for services provided to HCWC in the third and fourth quarters of 2024 pursuant to the transition services agreement.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainties related to our going concern assessment. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company currently and historically has reported net losses and cash outflows from operations. As of December 31, 2025, cash totaled approximately $1.1 million and negative working capital of $0.3 million. A significant improvement to the Company’s financial position occurred on December 31, 2025, when the Company settled $4.0 million of intercompany debt through the issuance of <span id="xdx_90B_eus-gaap--DebtConversionConvertedInstrumentSharesIssued1_pid_c20251231__20251231__srt--CounterpartyNameAxis__custom--HealthyChoiceWellnessCorpMember_zGb3r38wUdp8" title="Shares issued for debt settlement">43,889,786,222 shares of common stock to Healthy Choice Wellness Corp. (“HCWC”), a related party. This strategic debt-for-equity transaction eliminated a substantial current liability and significantly strengthened the Company’s balance sheet. On November 7, 2024, the Company entered into a commitment letter with an investor establishing a $5 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). On April 11, 2025, the Company and the lender amended the agreement to extend the maturity date from April 30, 2026 to December 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not drawn on this facility, leaving the full $5 million available for working capital purposes. The interest rate on any amounts borrowed is 12% per annum. Management has implemented and continues to pursue the following initiatives to address liquidity needs and support ongoing operations: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0.24in"> </td> <td style="width: 0.24in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Debt Restructuring Success: The settlement of $4.0 million in debt through equity issuance has materially improved the Company’s financial position by eliminating a significant liability while preserving cash resources.</td> </tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td> </td> <td>●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Credit Facility Availability: The undrawn $5 million credit facility provides immediate liquidity access through December 31, 2026, with funds available for working capital needs.</td> </tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td> </td> <td>●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Revenue Initiatives: The Company is actively pursuing commercialization opportunities, including licensing negotiation, marketing and distribution with third party, and exploration of additional strategic partnerships for existing product lines.</td> </tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td> </td> <td>●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Cost Management: Implementation of expense reduction measures, including optimization of consulting expenditures and operational efficiencies following the spin-off of HCWC.</td> </tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td> </td> <td>●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Strategic Financing: Continued evaluation of additional financing alternatives, including potential equity offerings or strategic investments, to support growth initiatives and working capital requirements.</td> </tr> </table> Based on the successful completion of the $4.0 million debt settlement, the availability of the $5 million credit facility, and management’s ongoing initiatives to commercialize products and manage expenses, the Company believes its existing cash resources and available credit will enable it to meet its obligations and capital requirements for at least the twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. The success of these plans is dependent upon various factors, foremost being the ability to reduce outside consulting expenses and the ability to secure additional capital from outside investors. There can be no assurance that such plans will be successful.

NOTE 4. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. On September 13, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced separation and distribution of its grocery segment and wellness centers into an independent publicly traded company, and the historical results of the grocery segment and wellness centers have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to the separation and distribution. Assets and liabilities associated with the grocery segment are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional disclosures regarding the separation and distribution are provided in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, and The Vape Store, Inc. (“Vape Store”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements refer only to HCMC’s continuing operations. Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates as a single reportable segment, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Holman) reviews financial performance and makes decisions on a consolidated basis. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include inventory provisions, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain management’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary. Revenue Recognition Revenues from product sales and services rendered, net of promotional discounts, manufacturer coupons and rebates, return allowances, and sales and consumption taxes, are recorded when products are delivered, title passes to customers and collection is likely to occur. Title passes to customers at the point of sale for retail and upon delivery of products for wholesale. Return allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated using historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following five-step model: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.29in"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.29in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">identify arrangements with customers;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">identify performance obligations;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">determine transaction price;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">allocate transaction prices to the separate performance obligations in the arrangement, if more than one exists; and</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.</td></tr> </table> Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

A summary of the financial institutions that had a cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented below: SCHEDULE OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT AND RESTRICTED CASH IN EXCESS OF FDIC LIMIT <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="text-align: center"> </td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" id="xdx_490_20251231_zLRngIFvRPug" style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center">December 31, 2025</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" id="xdx_49F_20241231_zn2Knz5xEXG6" style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center">December 31, 2024</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"> </td></tr> <tr id="xdx_400_eus-gaap--TimeDepositsAtOrAboveFDICInsuranceLimit_iI_zJtgOL2Res4k" style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="width: 60%; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 2.5pt">Total cash and cash equivalents in excess of FDIC limits</td><td style="width: 2%; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 2.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; width: 1%; font-weight: bold; text-align: left">$</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; width: 16%; font-weight: bold; text-align: right">880,191</td><td style="width: 1%; padding-bottom: 2.5pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 2%; padding-bottom: 2.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; width: 1%; text-align: left">$</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 2.5pt double; width: 16%; text-align: right">943,567</td><td style="width: 1%; padding-bottom: 2.5pt; text-align: left"> </td></tr> </table> The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests, as deposits are held in excess of federally insured limits.

The balance also included cash held in the collateral account to cover the cash draw from the line of credit. Other Current Assets The Company’s restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 consisted of cash balances which were restricted as to withdrawal or usage under the August 18, 2022 securities purchase agreement for the purpose of funding any amounts due under the Series E Certificate of Designation upon the redemption of the Series E Preferred Stock. The December 31, 2024 balance also included cash held in the collateral account to cover the cash draw from the line of credit. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the respective asset, after the asset is placed in service. Revenue earning property, plant, and equipment includes signage, furniture and fixtures, building, computer hardware, appliance, cooler, displays with useful lives range from 2 two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the term of the lease. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Leases Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the fixed lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Related lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by contributions from landlords, plus any prepaid rent and direct costs from executing the leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred. The Company did not have finance leases in year 2025 and 2024. If the Company enters into a finance lease in the future, it will be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). These standards define a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using an appropriate valuation model, whereby compensation cost is the fair value of the award as determined by the valuation model at the grant date. The resulting amount is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognize forfeitures as they occur. Fair Value Measurements The fair value framework under FASB’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.48in"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.48in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.</td></tr> </table> Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets held and used are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value when impairment is recognized or for a business combination. Business Combination The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to use the acquisition method of accounting by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and measured at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the aforementioned amounts. Acquisition-related expenses were expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. <p id="xdx_845_ecustom--RelatedPartyTransactionsAndNonmonetaryExchangesPolicyTextBlock_zADrPFkVNf6e" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left">Related Party Transactions and Nonmonetary Exchanges Transactions involving related parties, as defined by ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, are recorded based on the substance of the transaction rather than merely its legal form.

When the Company extinguishes a monetary liability (such as a related party payable) by issuing nonmonetary assets (such as equity securities) to a related party, the Company assesses whether the fair value of the consideration transferred can be determined within reasonable limits. If fair value cannot be determined within reasonable limits in an arm’s-length context, and the transaction is with a related party, the Company records the extinguishment at the carrying amount of the liability extinguished. Gains are not recognized on such transactions when the substance is a capital transaction or conversion of intercompany funding rather than a gain-generating event. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability extinguished and the par value of shares issued is recorded as an adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure. On November 27, 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires public entities to consider relevant qualitative and quantitative factors when determining whether segment expense categories and amounts are significant, and identify segment expenses on the basis of amounts that are regularly provided to CODM, and included in reported segment profit or loss. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December. 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December. 15, 2024. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, applying it retrospectively to all periods presented. As the Company has one reportable segment, the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but resulted in additional expense disclosures and reconciliations in the financial statement footnotes. See Note 5 for details. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The adoption resulted in additional disclosures in the income tax footnote but did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. On September 13, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced separation and distribution of its grocery segment and wellness centers into an independent publicly traded company, and the historical results of the grocery segment and wellness centers have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to the separation and distribution. Assets and liabilities associated with the grocery segment are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additional disclosures regarding the separation and distribution are provided in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, and The Vape Store, Inc. (“Vape Store”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements refer only to HCMC’s continuing operations.

Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates as a single reportable segment, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Holman) reviews financial performance and makes decisions on a consolidated basis.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include inventory provisions, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain management’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.

Revenue Recognition Revenues from product sales and services rendered, net of promotional discounts, manufacturer coupons and rebates, return allowances, and sales and consumption taxes, are recorded when products are delivered, title passes to customers and collection is likely to occur. Title passes to customers at the point of sale for retail and upon delivery of products for wholesale. Return allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated using historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following five-step model: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.29in"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.29in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">identify arrangements with customers;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">identify performance obligations;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">determine transaction price;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">allocate transaction prices to the separate performance obligations in the arrangement, if more than one exists; and</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.</td></tr> </table>

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company’s cash are concentrated in one large financial institution, which is in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage.

Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Leases Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the fixed lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Related lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by contributions from landlords, plus any prepaid rent and direct costs from executing the leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred. The Company did not have finance leases in year 2025 and 2024. If the Company enters into a finance lease in the future, it will be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). These standards define a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using an appropriate valuation model, whereby compensation cost is the fair value of the award as determined by the valuation model at the grant date. The resulting amount is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognize forfeitures as they occur.

Fair Value Measurements The fair value framework under FASB’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse"> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.48in"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.48in">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">●</td> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.</td></tr> </table> Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets held and used are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value when impairment is recognized or for a business combination.

Business Combination The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to use the acquisition method of accounting by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and measured at their acquisition date fair values.

<p id="xdx_845_ecustom--RelatedPartyTransactionsAndNonmonetaryExchangesPolicyTextBlock_zADrPFkVNf6e" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left">Related Party Transactions and Nonmonetary Exchanges Transactions involving related parties, as defined by ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, are recorded based on the substance of the transaction rather than merely its legal form. Related party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. When the Company extinguishes a monetary liability (such as a related party payable) by issuing nonmonetary assets (such as equity securities) to a related party, the Company assesses whether the fair value of the consideration transferred can be determined within reasonable limits. If fair value cannot be determined within reasonable limits in an arm’s-length context, and the transaction is with a related party, the Company records the extinguishment at the carrying amount of the liability extinguished. Gains are not recognized on such transactions when the substance is a capital transaction or conversion of intercompany funding rather than a gain-generating event. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability extinguished and the par value of shares issued is recorded as an adjustment to Additional Paid-in Capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure. On November 27, 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires public entities to consider relevant qualitative and quantitative factors when determining whether segment expense categories and amounts are significant, and identify segment expenses on the basis of amounts that are regularly provided to CODM, and included in reported segment profit or loss. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December. 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December. 15, 2024. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, applying it retrospectively to all periods presented. As the Company has one reportable segment, the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but resulted in additional expense disclosures and reconciliations in the financial statement footnotes. See Note 5 for details. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The adoption resulted in additional disclosures in the income tax footnote but did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The CODM, who is the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information and assesses performance on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows, which constitute the single reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. The adoption of ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, on January 1, 2024, did not change the Company’s reportable segments. The CODM is regularly provided with the consolidated financial statements as presented herein, and no discrete financial information is evaluated for any component below the consolidated level. All of the Company’s revenue and long-lived assets are attributable to operations within the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue.

Legal Proceedings On November 30, 2020, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Philip Morris USA, Inc., and Philip Morris Products S.A. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The lawsuit alleges infringement on HCMC-owned patent(s) by the Philip Morris product known and marketed as “IQOS®”. Philip Morris claims that it is currently approaching 14 million users of its IQOS® product and has reportedly invested over $3 billion in their smokeless tobacco products. On December 3, 2021, the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia effectively dismissed HCMC’s patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc., and Philip Morris Products S.A. On December 14, 2021, the Company filed an appeal of the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia’s dismissal of the Company’s patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc., and Philip Morris Products S.A. On December 31, 2021, the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia effectively dismissed HCMC’s patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. In connection with such dismissal, the defendants sought to recover attorney’s fees from the Plaintiff. On February 22, 2022, the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted the defendant’s an award of approximately $<span id="xdx_907_eus-gaap--LitigationSettlementAmountAwardedToOtherParty_c20220222__20220222__srt--CounterpartyNameAxis__custom--PhilipMorrisMember__srt--LitigationCaseAxis__custom--PatentInfringementLitigationMember_zNfaxPc1682d" title="Award of attorneys fees to be paid">575,000 in attorneys’ fees to be paid by the Company. The Company fully provisioned this amount as of December 31, 2021. HCMC appealed this ruling on June 22, 2022. On April 12, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in favor of HCMC on <span id="xdx_909_ecustom--NumberOfAppealsFiledInPatentInfringement_dc_uAppeal_c20230412__20230412__srt--CounterpartyNameAxis__custom--PhilipMorrisMember__srt--LitigationCaseAxis__custom--PatentInfringementLitigationMember_zXZL90lbxGr" title="Number of appeals filed in patent infringement">two separate appeals it had filed in its patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. pending in the district court for the Northern District of Georgia. In the first appeal, HCMC appealed the ruling of the District Court dismissing HCMC’s patent infringement action and denying HCMC’s motion to amend its pleading. In the second appeal, HCMC appealed the District Court’s award of attorneys’ fees to Philip Morris. In its decisions, the Federal Circuit ruled for HCMC by reversing both of those decisions and remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. As a result of the ruling, the Company reversed the $<span id="xdx_901_eus-gaap--GainLossRelatedToLitigationSettlement_c20230101__20230331__srt--LitigationCaseAxis__custom--PatentInfringementLitigationMember__srt--CounterpartyNameAxis__custom--PhilipMorrisMember_zXIaL49hJ34l" title="Gain (loss) related to litigation settlement">575,000 which was previously fully provisioned, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. On November 22, 2024, HCMC received a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) denying an appeal of HCMC of a decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) relating to the inter partes review of an HCMC patent. The Board had ruled that the previously granted HCMC patent that served as the basis of HCMC’s patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. was not patentable and denied of HCMC’s request to amend the claims if invalidity of the patent was affirmed. This lawsuit was dismissed on December 31, 2024. There were two lawsuits in connection with alleged claimed battery defects for an electronic cigarette device. One has been dismissed by the court wherein the plaintiff settled with the Company’s insurance carrier with no economic impact to the Company. In the second lawsuit, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had reached an arrangement with the plaintiff to resolve the matter, limiting potential exposure to $1.5 million which was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses, representing management’s estimate of the probable settlement amount based on the current status of discussions. This arrangement was formalized by a signed agreement on July 1, 2024 and the Company accrued $1.5 million at June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company already paid in full the $1.5 million. On September 26, 2023, HCMC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (“RJR”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in connection with HCMC’s assertions that RJR’s Vuse electronic cigarette infringes one of HCMC’s patents. From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that there is no other litigation pending that is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. As of December 31, 2025, with respect to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.

Stock-based compensation expense is included as part of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Income (Loss) per Share Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon (a) the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method); (b) the conversion of Series D and Series E convertible preferred stocks; (c) the exercise of warrants (using the if-converted method); (d) the vesting of restricted stock units; and (e) the conversion of convertible notes payable. Diluted income (loss) per share excludes the potential common shares, as their effect is antidilutive. The following table summarizes the Company’s securities that have been excluded from the calculation of basic and dilutive income (loss) per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive: SCHEDULE OF DILUTIVE LOSS PER SHARE <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Prior to the Spin-Off, HCWC was a subsidiary of HCMC. After Spin-Off, HCWC operated as a separate, stand-alone company, accordingly has had various relationships with HCMC whereby HCMC provided services to HCWC as noted below. Related party transactions prior to the Spin-Off include allocation of general corporate expenses and cash advances between HCMC and HCWC. Allocation of General Corporate Expenses The Company provided human resources, accounting, payroll processing, legal and other managerial services to HCWC prior to the Spin-Off. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include allocations of these expenses. Following the Spin-Off, HCWC and HCMC entered into a TSA, under which both companies agreed to provide certain transitional services to one another to ensure smooth separation. These services are provided on a transitional basis and will continue for a period of up to one year following the Spin-Off. Management adopted a proportional cost allocation method to allocate the shared expenses to HCWC. The allocation method calculates the appropriate share of overhead costs to HCWC based on management’s estimate that the sum of management time and resources spent managing HCWC is approximately equal to the amount of time and resources spent managing HCMC and its subsidiaries. As a result, 50% of HCMC overhead on a weighted average basis was allocated to HCWC based on the fact that management spent an equal amount of time managing both companies. The Company believes the allocation methodology used is reasonable and has been consistently applied, and results in an appropriate allocation of costs incurred. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the cost had HCWC been a stand-alone entity or of future services. HCMC allocated approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The pre Spin-Off allocated amount was not cash settled and was included in the Net Parent’s Investment. Net Parent’s Investment For the thirty-six weeks ended September 13, 2024, the net operating expenses of $1.7 million incurred by HCMC on behalf of the HCWC was included in Investment in Subsidiary. Upon the Spin-Off, the Company wrote off the investment in subsidiary balance to retained earnings. Due to Related Party Prior to the Spin-Off, there was no intercompany agreement between the Company and HCWC. Management has determined those intercompany receivables and payables will be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date. As a result, the Company’s intercompany balances are reflected as “due to” or “due from” accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. At the time of Spin-ff, the Company had a net receivable balance from HCWC in the amount of $1.2 million, and HCWC paid the balance in full to settle on the Spin-Off date of September 13, 2024. The Company had a net Due to Related Party balance of $4.0 million and $0.2 million to HCWC as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Settlement of Related Party Payable On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Satisfaction of Debt Agreement with HCWC to settle the outstanding related party payable. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued <span id="xdx_900_eus-gaap--DebtConversionConvertedInstrumentSharesIssued1_pid_c20251231__20251231__srt--CounterpartyNameAxis__custom--HealthyChoiceWellnessCorpMember_zmR9BnyDNRBd" title="Debt conversion, converted instrument, shares issued">43,889,786,222 shares of its common stock to HCWC in full and final settlement of the payable, which had a carrying value of $3,950,080 as of the settlement date. The shares were issued at a contractual price of $0.00009 per share. In accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, and SAB Topic 5.T, transactions involving related parties are recorded based on their substance rather than merely their legal form. Related party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis. Accordingly, the payable was extinguished at its carrying amount of $3,950,080, and no gain or loss was recognized. The substance of this transaction is a capital transaction, a conversion of intercompany funding to equity, not a gain-generating event. For disclosure purposes only, the Company determined the fair value of the common stock issued as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. HCWC, as the investor, performed an impairment assessment of its investment in the Company using a third-party valuation. That assessment, which utilized a multi-method approach including observable and unobservable inputs, concluded that the fair value of the Company’s common stock exceeded HCWC’s carrying value; therefore, no impairment was recorded.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES Prior to the legal reorganization completed on September 13, 2024, HCMC included certain carve-out entities, including HCWC, in its consolidated income tax filings within the respective tax jurisdictions. Although HCMC’s 2024 tax returns continued to include HCWC through the Spin-Off date, the income tax provision for 2024 was prepared on a standalone basis, as if HCMC had operated independently for the period presented. Following the Spin-Off, HCMC now files federal and state income tax returns solely for its continuing operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized as of December 31, 2025, relate only to the Company’s retained businesses and tax attributes. Income taxes continue to be accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Spin-Off of HCWC was completed on September 13, 2024, through a pro rata distribution of HCWC common stock to HCMC shareholders. The transaction was structured to qualify as tax-free under Sections 355(a) and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). In connection with the separation, HCMC and HCWC entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (“TMA”) executed in December 2023 that governs each company’s respective federal and state income tax matters, including the allocation of liabilities and responsibilities for periods before and after the separation: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in"></td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in">●</td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Pre-Spin Liabilities: HCMC retains responsibility for all taxes related to HCWC’s operations through the separation date, including audits of consolidated income tax returns for periods ending on or before September 13, 2024.</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in"></td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in">●</td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Post-Spin Liabilities: HCWC is solely responsible for all taxes attributable to its operations after the Spin-Off.</td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> </td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"> </td></tr> <tr style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; vertical-align: top"> <td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in"></td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 0.25in">●</td><td style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify">Indemnification: HCWC has agreed to indemnify HCMC for any taxes arising as a result of post-Spin actions that would cause the transaction to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment under IRC Section 355(e) or related provisions.</td></tr></table> During 2025, HCWC completed its analysis of the Spin-Off and the TMA and notified HCMC that HCMC retained all pre-Spin U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other pre-Spin tax attributes and related temporary differences. Based on this confirmation and management’s review, HCMC updated its assessment of deferred tax assets associated with these retained attributes and recorded adjustments to deferred tax balances and the related valuation allowance to reflect the final allocation of tax attributes between HCMC and HCWC. These adjustments were recognized as a discrete item in the 2025 income tax provision and effective tax rate reconciliation. The Company did not have a provision for income taxes (current or deferred) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company presents below (i) a reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the income tax expense (benefit) reflected in the accompanying statement of operations and (ii) a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years then ended.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the positive and negative evidence available, management has determined that a valuation allowance is required at December 31, 2025 and 2024 to reduce the deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s valuation increased by approximately $550,980 and $2,052,000 for the tax years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in valuation allowance disclosed in the effective tax rate reconciliation for 2025 includes the effect of removing the pre‑Spin deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation allowance that relate to tax attributes retained by HCWC. Should the factors underlying management’s analysis change, future valuation adjustments to the Company’s net deferred tax assets may be necessary. At December 31, 2025 the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $94.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. Among other provisions, the IRA includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on applicable corporations and 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. The IRA is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, which, among other things, modifies certain business tax provisions, including interest expense limitations, depreciation and amortization rules, and selected energy‑related incentives that interact with the IRA. The Company has evaluated the OBBBA and does not currently expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. The Company files a federal income tax return and income tax return in Florida and the Company is generally no longer subject examinations by federal and Florida tax authorities for years before 2022.
