SIGNATURES	40

	●	We have a limited operating history in new and evolving markets, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increase the risk of your investment.
	●	Our historical financial and operating results may not be indicative of future performance, and we may not be able to achieve and sustain the historical level of our profitability.
	●	We operate in a highly competitive beverage industry and may not be able to maintain or grow our market share against larger and better-capitalized competitors.
	●	Our success depends on the continued strength of our brand and consumer perception of the quality, safety, freshness, and healthfulness of our products.
	●	Our future growth depends on the successful development and acceptance of new product and product innovation.
	●	We rely on a limited number of cold chain-dependent production and distribution facilities, and any disruption—due to mechanical failure, labor shortages, natural disasters, or other causes—could materially affect our operations.
	●	Our business model depends on maintaining strict cold chain logistics from sourcing through delivery, which adds operational complexity, cost, and vulnerability to temperature excursions or logistical delays.
	●	We depend on the availability, cost, and quality of fresh citrus and other raw ingredients, and agricultural or climate-related disruptions could adversely affect our supply and margins.
	●	Our production facilities must maintain compliance with rigorous food safety, Juice HACCP, SQF, USDA Organic Certification, Kosher Certification and regulatory standards including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS); any lapse or contamination event could result in product recalls, liability, regulatory enforcement, or reputational harm.
	●	We face risks associated with managing short shelf-life products, which increases our exposure to inventory spoilage, write-downs, and stockouts.
	●	Changes in consumer preferences—particularly away from fresh juice, citrus beverages, or premium-priced fresh products—could adversely affect demand for our offerings.
	●	Our growth strategy depends on geographic expansion, which requires securing and equipping new facilities and may be costly and complex.
	●	One customer accounts for 97% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025. Therefore, we are highly reliant on a single customer for our sales, and the loss of this customer would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.
	●	We depend on a limited number of suppliers for our products, and the loss of one or more of these suppliers could disrupt our operations, increase our costs, or otherwise adversely affect our business.
	●	Our growth depends on expanding distribution through new retail relationships and deeper penetration with existing accounts; failure to secure or maintain those relationships on favorable terms may limit our revenue potential.
	●	We depend heavily on third-party retailers and in some cases brokers, to market and sell our products; their shelf prioritization, execution, or financial health may directly impact our performance.
	●	Our high-tech driven, centralized production systems are core to our efficiency and quality standards; technical failures or cybersecurity incidents could disrupt operations or result in data loss.
	●	We rely on third-party logistics providers for delivery of our products to our product outlets; any breakdown or delay could damage product integrity and customer trust.
	●	We may face difficulties in forecasting demand accurately, which could lead to excess inventory, underproduction, missed revenue opportunities, or higher working capital needs.

	●	If we fail to effectively manage our growth, including geographic expansion and increased retail distribution, our operations and customer experience could suffer.
	●	We may be subject to legal challenges related to the accuracy of our health and wellness claims.
	●	Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain, and develop key employees and senior leadership.
	●	We may require additional capital to support our growth strategy or operations, and such financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to scale.
	●	Disruptions in the worldwide economy may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
	●	Climate change, or legal or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect our business and operations.
	●	Fluctuations in business conditions may unexpectedly impact our reported results of operations and financial condition.
	●	We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

	●	Food safety and food-borne illness incidents or other safety concerns may materially adversely affect our business.
	●	Failure to comply with federal, and state laws and regulations relating to data privacy, data protection, advertising and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to data privacy, data protection, advertising and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
	●	Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and have a negative impact on our reputation or business.
	●	Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.
	●	Failure to comply with requirements to design, implement and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

	●	We rely heavily on our information technology systems, as well as those of our third-party vendors and businesses, for our business to effectively operate and to safeguard confidential information; any significant failure, inadequacy, interruption or data security incident could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
	●	We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property or may face claims that we infringe the intellectual property of others.

	●	We currently have a limited trading volume, which can result in higher price volatility for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.
	●	You may experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
	●	If and when a larger trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.
	●	We do not expect to pay dividends.
	●	If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

	●	Wellness shots in 2 oz format
	●	Available in 2-pack and 6-pack glass bottle configurations

	●	12 oz Lime Juice, 16 oz and 128 oz Lemon Juice
	●	Fresh Orange and Grapefruit juice (16 oz and 52 oz)
	●	Fresh citrus-based Lemonades and Limeades (16 oz and 52 oz)
