CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of Leef Brands, Inc. (the “Company,” “Leef Brands,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements contained in this Quarterly Report that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | our ability to generate revenue and become profitable; |
| ● | our ability to execute our business strategy; |
| ● | our ability to secure additional capital on acceptable terms to fund operations, capital expenditures, facility improvements, and product development; |
| ● | the impact of ongoing United States federal law prohibiting cannabis on our ability to operate in the cannabis industry, including federal enforcement priorities and potential changes in U.S. federal and state cannabis laws and regulations; |
| ● | the continued evolution of state and local cannabis regulations in California, New York, Nevada, and any other jurisdictions in which we operate; |
| ● | our ability to maintain and renew state and local cannabis licenses and permits that we hold, and to obtain new licenses and permits in the ordinary course; |
| ● | our ability to manage our liquidity and meet our financial obligations as they come due, including our material debt and lease obligations; |
| ● | our ability to realize value from assets held for sale, including the cultivation and processing cannabis license located in Clark County, Nevada; |
| ● | our exposure to commodity price pressure, including ongoing pricing compression in the California wholesale cannabis market; |

| ● | other risks and uncertainties, including those referenced under the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). |
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions described under the sections titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our 2025 Annual Report. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing regulatory environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise.
In addition, statements such as “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Leef Brands,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us” or similar terms refer to Leef Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
| 1. | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
Leef Brands Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 15, 2011, under the laws of the province of British Columbia and is registered extra-provincially under the laws of Ontario. The Company is a cannabis branded products manufacturer based in California. The Company is a public company whose common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “LEEF” which became effective December 7, 2022. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 2500 Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business
activities and the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2026, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $
Reverse recapitalization
On April 20, 2022, the Company acquired all of the common stock of LEEF Holdings, Inc. (“LEEF”) pursuant to a merger agreement dated January 21, 2022, among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Icanic Merger Sub, Inc. and LEEF. The Company issued common shares, which at the time were subject to a contractual hold period in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, with an initial one-eighth of the shares received to be released on the one-year anniversary of closing and the remaining shares to be released in equal one-eighth installments every three months thereafter.

| 2. | Basis of Presentation |
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 6, 2026.
Liquidity and going concern
Historically,
the Company’s primary source of liquidity has been its operations, capital contributions made by equity investors and debt
issuances. The Company is currently meeting its current operational obligations as they become due from its current working capital
and from operations. However, the Company has sustained losses since inception and may require additional capital in the future. As
of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
The Company is generating cash from revenues and deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, product development and marketing.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.
Basis of presentation and measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value through earnings, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical costs are generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.
Functional currency
All figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected in United States dollars; however, the functional currency of the Company includes Canadian dollars and United States dollars. The Company’s subsidiaries functional currency is the United States dollar.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange at the end of each reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value is determined.
All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.
| 7 |
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations reported in their functional currencies are translated into United States dollars, the Company’s presentation currency, at period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly and indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and be exposed to the variable returns from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the audited annual financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The following is a list of the Company’s wholly-owned and partially owned operating subsidiaries:

| 3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates and judgments, potentially having material future effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other facts and circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
The significant accounting policies applied by the Company have not materially changed from those disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the 2025 Annual Report. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows.
Accounts receivable
Accounts
receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any provisions for impairment. Financial
assets measured at amortized cost are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment provisions are estimated
using the expected credit loss impairment model where any expected future credit losses are provided for, irrespective of whether a loss
event has occurred at the reporting date. Estimates of expected credit losses take into account the Company’s collection history,
deterioration of collection rates during the average credit period, as well as observable changes in and forecasts of future economic
conditions that affect default risk. Where applicable, the carrying amount of a trade receivable is reduced for any expected credit losses
through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts (“AFDA”) provision. Changes in the AFDA provision are recognized in
the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). When the Company determines that no recovery of the amount
owing is possible, the amount is deemed irrecoverable and the financial asset is written off. As of March 31, 2026 the Company recorded
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Customer Concentration
The Company has a concentration
of credit risk with respect to revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, one customer represented approximately
As of March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025, this customer accounted for less than
The loss of a major customer, or a significant reduction in business from them, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses, although no significant losses have been experienced to date. Management continues to monitor customer concentration risk and pursue diversification of its customer base where feasible.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company’s inventory is comprised of cannabis related products and derivatives. The cost of inventory is calculated using the weighted average method and comprises all costs of purchase necessary to bring the goods to sale. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for products sold in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of cannabis biomass is comprised of initial third-party acquisition costs, plus analytical testing costs. Costs of extracted cannabis oil inventory are comprised of initial acquisition cost of the biomass and all direct and indirect processing costs including labor related costs, consumables, materials, packaging supplies and analytical testing costs. Packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Management
uses the most reliable evidence available in determining the net realizable value of inventories. Actual selling prices may differ
from estimates, based on market conditions at the time of sale. Allowances are made against obsolete or damaged inventory and
charged to cost of sales. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a reserve inventory in the amount of
$
| 9 |
Financial instruments
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
For further details, see Note 15 – Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management
Property and equipment
The Company records property and equipment at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. It recognizes amortization to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of property and equipment are as follows:
| Buildings | |
| Office furniture and software | |
| Machinery and equipment | |
| Vehicles | |
| Construction in progress | |
| Leasehold improvements |
An item of property and equipment is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in income (loss) from operations. Where an item of property and equipment and deferred costs consist of major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment and deferred expenditures. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit or group of reporting units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization.
The goodwill balance is assessed for impairment annually or when facts and circumstances indicate that it is impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level by comparing the carrying value to the recoverable amount, which is determined as the of fair value less costs of disposal. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is the impaired amount. The recoverable amount estimates are categorized as Level 3 according to the fair value hierarchy. Impairment charges are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Goodwill is reported at cost less any accumulated impairment. Goodwill impairments are not reversed.
| 10 |
Intangible assets
The
Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks and licenses. Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition
at cost, while the cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is initially recorded at their fair values as at the
date of acquisition. It recognizes amortization to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using
certain methods and rates. The intangible assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were a trademark and two licenses which have been
determined to have
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in income (loss) from operations. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Digital assets
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. Crypto assets are initially recorded at cost, including any transaction fees. This update requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income each reporting period. Fair value is determined using prices quoted in active markets at the reporting date.
The Company holds digital assets that meet the scope of this guidance. These assets are:
| ● | Intangible in nature | |
| ● | Do not provide enforceable rights to goods or services | |
| ● | Are created or reside on a distributed ledger | |
| ● | Are secured through cryptography | |
| ● | Are fungible | |
| ● | Are not issued by the reporting entity or its related parties |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of testing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (reporting unit). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the asset’s fair value less cost to sell. The Company will assess for further impairment on an annual basis or as unexpected events happen.
Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract, as well as whether each lease represents an operating lease or a finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date. The Company has operating leases for certain facilities. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Each finance lease payment included in the lease liability is apportioned between the repayment of the liability and a finance cost. The finance cost is recognized in “interest expense” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Lease liabilities represent the net present value of fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments); variable lease payments based on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if it is probable that the lessee will exercise that option.
| 11 |
The Company’s lease liability is recognized net of lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis in general and administration and sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Short-term leases are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition are expensed as incurred and recognized in costs of goods sold, general and administration or sales and marketing expense, as appropriate given how the underlying leased asset is used, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease.
Derivatives
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. If the transaction price does not equal to fair value at the point of initial recognition, management measures the fair value of each component of the investment and any unrealized gains or losses at inception are either recognized in comprehensive income (loss) or deferred and recognized over the term of the investment, depending on whether the valuation inputs are based on observable market data. The resulting unrealized gain or loss at inception and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position date. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the model are discussed in “Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities”.
Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures are financial instruments that are accounted for separately dependent on the nature of their components. The identification of such components embedded within a convertible debenture requires significant judgment given that it is based on the interpretation of the substance of the contractual agreement. Where the conversion option has a fixed conversion rate, the financial liability, which represents the obligation to pay coupon interest on the convertible debentures in the future, is initially measured at its fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The residual amount is accounted for as an equity instrument at issuance. Where the conversion option has a variable conversion rate, the conversion option is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value. The determination of the fair value is also an area of significant judgment given that it is subject to various inputs, assumptions and estimates including contractual future cash flows, discount rates, credit spreads and volatility.
Fees directly attributable to the transactions are apportioned to the financial liability, derivative liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.
| 12 |
Additional Paid-In Capital
Common and preferred shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common and preferred shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Where additional paid-in capital is issued, or received, as non-monetary consideration and the fair value of the asset received or given up is not readily determinable, the fair market value of the shares is used to record the transaction. The fair market value of the shares is based on the trading price of those shares on the appropriate stock exchange on the date of the agreement to issue or receive shares as determined by the board of directors.
Foreign currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is also one of the functional currencies of the certain subsidiaries along with Canadian dollars being the functional currency for other subsidiaries. Each subsidiary determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.
| i) | Transactions and Balances in Foreign Currencies |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in income (loss) from operations. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
| ii) | Foreign operations |
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in earnings and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Income Taxes
Tax expense recognized in income (loss) from operations comprises the sum of current and deferred taxes not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current Tax
Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from income (loss) from operations in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred Tax
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
| 13 |
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in net income (loss), except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of cannabis related activities. The Company uses the following five-step contract-based analysis of transactions to determine if, when and how much revenue can be recognized:
| 1. | Identify the contract with a customer; | |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; | |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price; | |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and | |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s). |
Revenue from the sale of cannabis is generally recognized when control over the goods has been transferred to the customer. Payment for sales is typically due prior to shipment. Payment for wholesale transactions is due within a specified time period as permitted by the underlying agreement and the Company’s credit policy upon the transfer of goods to the customer. The Company generally satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control to the customer upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.
Bulk product and white label services revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from bulk product sales and white label services. Product sales are generally recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligations and transfers control over the goods to the customer upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Returns are performed when the product does not meet the requested type, concentration, etc. and ordered by the customer. Returns and exchanges are reported and recorded at the same time as revenue transactions.
As part of its remuneration, the Company grants restricted stock units and also stock options and warrants to buy common shares of the Company to its employees. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company. The fair value of employee services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair value is measured at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument granted or vested if the option vests over a period. This fair value is measured at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period.
All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transactions costs and the amount originally credited to contributed surplus are allocated to share capital. When options expire unexercised the related value remains in additional paid-in capital.
| 14 |
Business combination
A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and is accounted for using the acquisition method. The total consideration paid for the acquisition is the fair value equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree at the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date when the Company obtains control of the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, except for deferred taxes and share-based payment awards where GAAP provides exceptions to recording the amounts at fair value. Goodwill represents the difference between total consideration paid and the fair value of the net-identifiable assets acquired. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value and is included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination, subject to the applicable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments, with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Based on the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, management will perform a valuation analysis to allocate the purchase price based on the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Management has one year from the acquisition date to confirm and finalize the facts and circumstances that support the finalized fair value analysis and related purchase price allocation. Until such time, these values are provisionally reported and are subject to change. Changes to fair values and allocations are retrospectively adjusted in subsequent periods.
In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the most significant estimates generally relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Identified intangible assets are fair valued using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows of the acquiree. Valuations are highly dependent on the inputs used and assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.
Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Consideration paid for an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Asset acquisitions do not give rise to goodwill. Any consideration paid in excess of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed is expensed to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that it increases the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method, to include common shares potentially issuable from the assumed conversion of preferred stock, exercise of stock options and other instruments, if dilutive. For the period ended March 31, 2026, these potential issuances are “anti-dilutive” as they would decrease the earnings (loss) per share; consequently, the amounts calculated for basic and diluted loss per share are the same. For the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company identified stock options, restricted stock units, warrants, and convertible debentures that result in a dilution of earnings (loss) per share.
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates and judgments, potentially having material future effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
The following are the critical judgments and estimates that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements: business combinations and asset acquisitions; functional currency translations; inventory; valuation of share-based payments; estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; impairment of long-lived assets; provisions; leases; fair values of financial instruments, derivatives, and convertible debentures; allowance for doubtful accounts; and segmented information.

| 4. | Revenue Disaggregation |
The Company’s revenues are disaggregated based on major product line and operating segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, substantially all of the Company’s revenues were generated from wholesale-concentrate manufacturing activities. The Company generates revenue primarily through bulk concentrate manufacturing, supplying the leading cannabis brands operating in California and New York. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) retail sales were not material in fiscal 2026 and 2025, and the Company intends to expand its CPG retail offering in fiscal 2026. Refer to Note 20 – Segment Information for further disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment.
The following table sets forth disaggregation of net revenue by operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or at fair value. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost consist of accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities wherein the carrying value approximates fair value due to its short-term nature. Other financial instruments measured at amortized cost include notes payable, lease liabilities, and convertible debentures wherein the carrying value at the effective interest rate approximates fair value as the interest rate for notes payable and the interest rate used to discount the host debt contract for convertible debentures approximate a market rate for similar instruments offered to the Company.
Cash are measured at Level 1 inputs. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are measured at fair value based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses Level 3 inputs.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company is exposed to various financial risks resulting from both its operations and its investments activities. The Company’s management, with the Board of Directors oversight, manages financial risks. Where material, these risks will be reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit
risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and
receivables. The Company’s cash is held through United States and Canadian financial institutions and no losses have been incurred
in relation to these items. The carrying amount of cash, promissory note receivable, and trade and other receivables represent the maximum
exposure to credit risk. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the net amount of maximum exposure risk was $
| 24 |
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.
Assuming
all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/-
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash bear interest at market rates. The Company’s financial liabilities have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.
Crypto Currency Risk
We hold Bitcoin as part of our treasury assets. The value of Bitcoin is highly volatile and can be influenced by various factors, including market demand, regulatory developments, technological changes, and broader economic conditions. A significant decline in Bitcoin’s market price could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets may impose new compliance requirements or restrictions, potentially impacting our ability to hold or transact in Bitcoin. Security risks, such as cyberattacks or loss of private keys, could also result in the loss of our Bitcoin holdings. These factors collectively pose risks to our business and financial performance.

Uncertain Tax Positions
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of U.S. IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under U.S. IRC Section 280E.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has filed its previous years tax filing to become compliant through calendar year 2025. The Company has recorded the income tax payable as an uncertain tax position long-term liability on the balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 . The computed interest and penalty amounts are also included within current income tax provision on the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
| 19. | Commitments and contingencies |
Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of these regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, the use, sale, and possession of cannabis in the United States, despite state laws, is illegal under federal law. However, individual states have enacted legislation permitting exemptions for various uses, mainly for medical and industrial use but also including recreational use. As a result of the differing state and federal laws, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.
Cryptocurrency acquisition restriction. In connection with the March 12, 2026 private placement of Series A-1 preferred shares to La Jefa Partners, LLC, the Company has covenanted that, for a period of twenty-four months following the closing date (through March 12, 2028), the Company will not acquire any cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, other than nominal amounts accepted in business-to-business transactions.
Claims and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Item 2 are expressed in United States dollars.
Overview
Leef Brands Inc. was incorporated on September 15, 2011, under the laws of the province of British Columbia and is registered extra-provincially under the laws of Ontario. The Company is a cannabis branded products manufacturer based in California. The Company is a public company whose common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “LEEF”. The head office of the Company is located at Suite 2500 Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.
We are a cannabis concentrate manufacturer that leverages our manufacturing capabilities in a 12,000-square-foot extraction and manufacturing facility with significant throughput and distillate extraction capability. Our core manufacturing competencies include ethanol extraction (Type 6 manufacturing license), hydrocarbon extraction (Type 7 manufacturing license), and solventless extraction. We also hold a 179.9-acre cultivation land use permit, which we expect to result in our operating one of the largest cannabis cultivation sites in the state of California.
During fiscal 2024 and 2025, we executed a strategic transition away from consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) sales through retail, shifting our sales focus to leveraging our core strength in concentrate manufacturing to support and power the leading cannabis brands operating in California. CPG sales have become immaterial in fiscal 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026 as the Company concentrated efforts on the bulk sales concentrates market. Management believes that this strategic focus on higher-margin wholesale concentrate manufacturing, combined with disciplined operating expense management, positions the Company for improving operating performance.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated net revenue of $9,377,002, compared to $9,398,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is essentially flat year over year. Gross profit increased significantly to $4,624,650 (gross margin of 49%) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2,073,290 (gross margin of 22%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company recorded operating income of $1,283,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an operating loss of $1,907,545 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting both the margin expansion and a $639,852 reduction in total operating expenses.
Net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to the Company was $426,253 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income and comprehensive income of $265,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The swing to a net loss position for the quarter was primarily driven by a $390,405 expense recorded for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities (compared to a $3,538,440 gain in the prior year period) and a higher provision for income taxes of $974,580 (compared to $721,113 in the prior year period), offset by the improvements in operating results described above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not defined under, prepared in accordance with or a standardized financial measure under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Management uses such non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision-making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”) are:
| ● | EBITDA Net Loss (GAAP) adjusted for interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. | |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) adjusted for share-based compensation, stock appreciation rights expense, loss (income) on equity method investments, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, change in fair value of contingent liabilities, acquisition-related professional fees, non-operational start-up costs and loss on disposition of subsidiary. Non-operational start-up costs are set-up costs to prepare a location for its intended use. Start-up costs are expensed as incurred and are not indicative of ongoing operations. |
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assess the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s net loss to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) | $ | (426,253 | ) | $ | 265,776 | |||
| Depreciation and amortization | 568,141 | 535,237 | ||||||
| Interest expense | 316,834 | 592,501 | ||||||
| Income and excise tax expense | 1,029,745 | 769,550 | ||||||
| EBITDA (non-GAAP) | 1,488,467 | 2,163,064 | ||||||
| Adjustments: | ||||||||
| Share-based compensation | 489,467 | 591,462 | ||||||
| Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | 390,405 | (3,538,440 | ) | |||||
| Non-recurring operating costs | 28,101 | 51,505 | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) | $ | 2,396,440 | $ | (732,409 | ) | |||
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $2,396,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $(732,409) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The favorable change in Adjusted EBITDA of $3,128,849 is primarily driven by improved gross profit of $2,551,360 and reduced operating expenses of $639,852 with our revenue remaining consistent, reflecting the Company’s ongoing focus on margin expansion and disciplined cost management in its core wholesale concentrate manufacturing business.

Use of Financing Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised cash through issuance of preferred and common shares of the Company’s stock totaling gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in addition to the cash raised through both related party and third-party notes payable. The proceeds from these financing activities were used to fund the ongoing operations of the Company.
Operational Update
Effective December 2025, the Company’s debt obligations for convertible debentures were converted into 60,155,339 common shares of the Company’s stock and 60,155,339 warrants for the purchase of a common share of the Company’s stock at a purchase price of CAD$0.30 per share for a period of three years.
The Company continues to settle and pay down unfavorable debt arrangements and increase liquidity through existing operations and practical equity driven capital raises.

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $9,377,002, a decrease of $21,259, or 0.2%, as compared to $9,398,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenue was consistent year over year, reflecting the maturing of the Company’s strategic pivot to bulk concentrate manufacturing and ongoing pricing pressure within the California wholesale cannabis market.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4,752,352, a decrease of $2,572,619, or 35.1%, as compared to $7,324,971 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4,624,650, representing a gross margin of 49%, compared with a gross profit of $2,073,290, representing a gross margin of 22%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The significant increase in gross profit and gross margin reflects the Company’s integration of Salisbury Canyon Ranch as the Company’s primary biomass supply source during the quarter, combined with disciplined procurement of third-party inputs.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3,340,983, a decrease of $639,852, or 16.1%, compared to total operating expenses of $3,980,835 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in total operating expenses was attributable to the factors described below.
Wages and salaries for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $1,689,690 and $1,880,759, respectively, a decrease of $191,069, or 10.2%. The decrease reflects improved labor efficiency and disciplined headcount management as the Company continues to optimize its operating structure around its wholesale concentrate manufacturing focus.
Legal and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $294,296 and $487,939, respectively, a decrease of $193,643, or 39.7%. The decrease in legal and professional fees is primarily attributable to improved efficiency in the use of outside legal counsel and other professional advisors during the period.
Office and general expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $601,591 and $797,417, respectively, a decrease of $195,826, or 24.6%. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower freight and overhead costs as the Company continues its disciplined approach to managing operating costs.
Advertising and promotion expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $34,337 and $139,163, respectively, a decrease of $104,826, or 75.3%, reflecting reduced CPG marketing spend consistent with the Company’s strategic focus on wholesale concentrate manufacturing.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $316,834 and $592,501, respectively, a decrease of $275,667, or 46.5%. The decrease was primarily driven by the conversion of convertible debentures during 2025, resulting in a lower outstanding debt balance during the current period.
Change in fair value of derivative liability
Change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an expense of $390,405, compared to a gain of $3,538,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change is primarily due to fluctuations in the Company’s share price and remeasurement of the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo inputs used to value the derivative liabilities arising from warrants and certain convertible instruments with non-fixed conversion features denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.
Net Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders
Net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $426,253, as compared to net income and comprehensive income of $265,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an unfavorable change of $692,029. The change to a net loss position was primarily due to the $3,928,845 unfavorable swing in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, partially offset by the $3,191,212 favorable change in operating results.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Cash flow from operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $395,001, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,836,212 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a favorable change of $2,231,213. The favorable change in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the improvement in operating results, partially offset by timing of working capital items including increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $494,839, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $162,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an unfavorable change of $332,764. The change reflects increased capital expenditures to support ongoing operations and planned facility improvements.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3,665,088, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $181,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a favorable change of $3,483,185. The favorable change was primarily due to $4,500,000 of gross proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common shares in March 2026, partially offset by net repayments on notes payable, repayment of related party contingent consideration, and related party notes payable.

The Company’s focus on the wholesale concentrate market has led to an increase in quarterly revenue and margins through 2025 and into Q1 2026. Revenue was consistent from $9.4 million in Q1 2025 to $9.4 million in Q1 2026. The fluctuation in quarterly net income (loss) is primarily attributable to non-cash items, particularly changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and losses on extinguishment of debt. The net income of $0.3 million in Q1 2025 was driven primarily by the non-cash gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Excluding this non-cash item, Q1 2026 operational performance reflected the continued benefit of in-house biomass supply from Salisbury Canyon Ranch, with gross margins and operating cash flow remaining consistent with the strong H2 2025 trajectory.
Related Party Balances
Key management personnel are persons responsible for planning, directing, and controlling activities of an entity, and include executive and non-executive persons. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized approximately $440,000 and $470,000, respectively, in compensation and stock-based compensation provided to key management.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report. Refer to Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our accounting policies and estimates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company’s primary source of liquidity has been its operations, capital contributions made by equity investors, and debt issuances. The Company is currently meeting its operational obligations as they become due from its current working capital and from operations. However, the Company has sustained losses since inception and may require additional capital in the future. Such uncertainties related to events and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a net working capital surplus of $5,888,291 and a cash balance of $5,755,972. This is a significant improvement from December 31, 2025, when the Company had a working capital deficit and cash of $2,190,722. The increase in working capital and cash during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily reflects the $4,500,000 equity raise completed in March 2026.
The Company is generating cash from revenues and deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, product development, and marketing.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantee contracts, contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity, or any obligations that trigger financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk to the Company.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and as such, is not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, the Company is exposed to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk, and risks related to the Company’s digital asset holdings.
Currency risk. The Company is exposed to currency risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a fluctuation of +/- 5.0 percent in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar would impact the carrying value of the net monetary assets by approximately +/- $548,000.
Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash bears interest at market rates. The Company’s financial liabilities have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.
Commodity price risk. We are exposed to price fluctuations in the California cannabis market, where we sell our products. Continued pricing compression in this market has, and may in the future, adversely affect our revenue and gross margin.
Digital asset risk. We hold Bitcoin as part of our treasury assets. The value of Bitcoin is highly volatile. A significant decline in Bitcoin’s market price could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in its 2025 Annual Report.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. This is attributable to a significant deficiency resulting from the size of the Company and its limited personnel, which constrains our ability to implement full segregation of duties across financial reporting functions. The Company is actively monitoring this condition and will implement additional controls and oversight procedures as resources permit.
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
| ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2026, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. As of March 31, 2026, there are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026. The risk factors described in the fiscal year ended 2025 Form 10-K have not materially changed.
