NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Business Description
SENTIENT BRANDS HOLDINGS INC. (SNBH or the “Company”) is a next-generation brand platform focused on the acquisition, development, and commercialization of premium and functional consumer packaged goods (“CPG”), incorporated in the State of Nevada.
Nature of Operations and Principal Products/Channels
The Company’s core operations are conducted through its consolidated subsidiaries: AIG-F&B, Inc. (AIGFB), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary serving as a manufacturing and distribution platform for food, beverage, and wellness CPG products including the Original New York Seltzer® and Arctic Frost® brands; and Aqua Emergency, Inc. (AE NV), a specialized manufacturer and distributor of emergency water and MREs holding the exclusive license for American Red Cross® licensed products in our categories.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company was scheduled to complete consolidation of Wyoming Bears, Inc. (WYB), a California-based distributor of consumer packaged goods, to 100% ownership pursuant to an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement approved February 20, 2026. The parties have agreed to defer the acquisition to July 1, 2026.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the SEC’s requirements for smaller reporting companies on Form 10-Q. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements include the accounts of SNBH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Effective
January 2, 2026, the Company executed a
Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
has incurred losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $
Management is actively pursuing revenue growth through its CPG subsidiaries, working capital improvements, and additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE 2. RESTATEMENTS
The Results of Operations and the respective consolidated Financial Statements the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been restated. The restatement of previously issued financial statements resulted from errors and omissions related to record keeping, accounting, management operations, debt and equity arrangements which indicated a failure in the design or operation of certain controls. Specifically:

There
was a change in calculation of interest expense related to the existing convertible note payable to compound interest as specified
in the note documents versus simple interest recorded by the Company. This change in calculation resulted in $
It
was discovered that the derivative value of the embedded conversion of one feature of a convertible note payable and three warrant grants
were not recognized in the years of 2021 through 2025. This resulted in an adjustment to a derivative loss of $
There was an adjustment for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 of $
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue
is recognized under ASC 606 when control of goods is transferred to customers. The Company’s revenues are generated through its
consolidated subsidiaries: AIG-F&B, Inc. (wholesale distribution and food & beverage services) and Aqua Emergency, Inc. (product
sales, services, and shipping). For the three months ended March 31, 2026, consolidated revenues totaled $
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to dilutive potential common shares including convertible notes and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, basic and diluted EPS are the same as all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive given the Company’s capital structure.
In accordance with ASC 718, the Company measures compensation cost for share-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognizes expenses over the vesting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s Board approved issuance of shares from the 2026 Employee Benefit Plan. The expense related to these shares were accrued for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property,
plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 3–15 years. Intangible assets with finite
useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $
Derivative Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates all financial instruments for bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815. For the three months ending March
31, 2026 a gain of $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company measures derivative liabilities at fair value using Level 3 unobservable inputs (Black-Scholes model). The derivative liability
was $
| 8 |
Income Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under ASC 740. The Company has significant deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carryforwards,
which are fully offset by a valuation allowance as management has concluded it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will
not be realized.
Segment Reporting
The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments for its financial statement disclosure. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold, and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented, except as follows:
ASU 2024-04, Improvements to Accounting for Certain Convertible Instruments: This standard simplifies the accounting for instruments like the Company’s acquisition credits payable and convertible notes by eliminating specific separation models, which is expected to reduce future complexity and may result in a non-cash adjustment upon adoption in 2027.
ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requires increased transparency regarding rate reconciliation and Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforward categories. The Company continues to evaluate the enhanced disclosure requirements of this standard.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this report, and with the audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the risk factors and business sections in this Form 10-Q.
Overview
Sentient Brands is a next-generation brand platform focused on the acquisition, development, and commercialization of premium and functional consumer packaged goods (CPG) with an emphasis on wellness, sustainability, and emergency preparedness. The Company has implemented a product innovation and acquisition-driven growth strategy through its operating subsidiaries, focusing on consumer categories that offer long-term secular growth potential.
Going Concern
We have a limited operating history, and our continued growth is dependent upon the continuation of selling our products to our customers; hence generating revenues and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. We had an accumulated deficit of $6,425,970 and $6,332,894 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively and a working capital deficit of $3,991,762 and $3,902,970 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Included in the working capital deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 is $2,640,712 in Acquisition Credits as a contingent liability which is solely settleable in equity to be issued for acquiring the subsidiaries AIGFB & AE NV, in the amount of $2,500,712, with an additional issuance of $140,000 for a reduction in accounts payable. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon cash used in operating activities and the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover the operating expenses for the next twelve months from the release date of this report. These factors, among others, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate significant revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to carry out our business plan, achieve profitable operations, obtain additional working capital funds from our significant shareholders, and or through debt and equity financings. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
| 13 |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

There were 300,000 shares issued for bonuses related to the acquisitions of subsidiaries valued at $141,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Other advisory services decreased $89,207 due to reduced Investor Relations expenses, which were settled through the issuance of 300,000 shares of common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Accounting and Auditing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included a bonus of 33,334 shares of common stock valued at $40,000 at the time of issuance paid to the former contracted accountant.

There was also $10,000 received in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from a fraud claim adjudicated in the state of New Jersey which resulted in a claim for $25,000, of which a total of $15,000 was received during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $44,468 on March 31, 2026 compared to $29,011 on December 31, 2025. The net increase of $15,457 reflects net cash used in operating activities of $(3,174) and net proceeds from short-term related-party loans of $18,631.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2026, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
| 16 |
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting, was not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
| 1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending March 31, 2026. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. | |
| 2. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. | |
| 3. | Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors currently has two independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report are fairly presented, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.
We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to material weakness) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our normal business operations. On February 6, 2026, Gregg Templeton filed a Statement of Claim with the American Arbitration Association claiming Failure to Pay Wage, Failure to Reimburse Expenses; Statutory Wage Violation under New York Law; Fraud and Unjust Enrichment. The AAA rejected the claim due to the procedural process and improper venue election. After rejection by AAA, Templeton’s legal counsel advised the Company of his intention to petition a New York Court to accept the complaint under an arbitration demand. The petition was filed on March 25, 2026. The claim related to an Employment Agreement dated on or about February 28, 2019. On May 30, 2025, the Company received a demand letter from an attorney representing the contractor in the amount of $286,010 including wages, expenses and interest. Mr. Templeton asserts interest has continued to accrue and the current claim now exceeds $300,000. Templeton was terminated by the Company in January of 2021 after an unauthorized diversion of $40,000 in Company funds to Templeton’s personal accounts was discovered by the Company, as well as his being barred by FINRA from certain aspects of any securities business, for similar conduct on multiple prior occasions. The Company disputes the claim in its entirety but has maintained an accrual of $54,525 related to the dispute. This amount was recorded on March 31, 2022 as an account payable for services in that quarter. The Company has not made any change to its accrual as of this time. The Company will defend itself vigorously and assert claims of misconduct against the former contractor.
