(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Organization
Healthier Choices Management Corp. (the “Company” or “HCMC”) is a holding company focused on monetizing its intellectual property through its wholly owned subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC. The Company seeks to further monetize its patent suite through development and production of its patented products, including the Q-Cup™ technology and Imitine, licensing and royalty agreements, and enforcement actions against infringers of its intellectual property.
The Company administers and intends to augment its intellectual property portfolio via its wholly owned subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC.
The Company continues to promote its patented Q-Cup™ technology directly to consumers in the vaping market. This cutting-edge design includes a small quartz cup that users can fill with cannabis or CBD concentrate. Once placed in a Q-Cup™ Tank or Globe, the cup is heated externally without direct contact with the concentrate. This innovative approach provides greater efficiency and a convenient solution for consumers who vape concentrates for both medicinal and recreational use.
In connection with the Company’s strategic initiative to monetize its intellectual property through the development and production of new products, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with a third party distributor on November 27, 2025, to commercialize a new product line utilizing the Company’s NatureTine™ ingredient (the “Quitcubes” product line). Under the Distribution Agreement, the distributor is responsible for marketing, customer fulfillment, and website management, while the Company is responsible for manufacturing the product.
The launch of the Quitcubes product line, originally anticipated to commence in the first quarter of 2026, was delayed as the Company worked to establish the necessary operational infrastructure to execute the Distribution Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded no net sales from the Quitcubes product line for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company has made significant progress in establishing the required operational infrastructure. Management is now working with the distributor to finalize the remaining steps and expects the official commercial launch of the Quitcubes product line to occur in June 2026. However, there can be no assurance that the launch will occur as planned, or if launched, that the product line will generate material revenue or positive cash flow.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates as a single reportable segment, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Holman) reviews financial performance and makes decisions on a consolidated basis.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainties related to our going concern assessment.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of stock awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the net loss. Under GAAP, diluted EPS must be disclosed even when equal to basic EPS. All potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (i.e., reduce the loss per share), which is not permitted under GAAP.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
There
were two lawsuits in connection with alleged claimed battery defects for an electronic cigarette device. One has been dismissed by the
court wherein the plaintiff settled with the Company’s insurance carrier with no economic impact to the Company. In the second
lawsuit, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had reached an arrangement with the plaintiff to resolve the matter, limiting potential
exposure to $
On September 26, 2023, HCMC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (“RJR”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in connection with HCMC’s assertions that RJR’s Vuse electronic cigarette infringes one of HCMC’s patents.
On November 17, 2023, RJR filed a motion to dismiss the action. HCMC opposed on December 22, 2023.
On September 18, 2024, RJR filed an inter partes review of the patent-in-suit at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).
In March 2026, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a decision in favor of RJR in the ongoing patent dispute. The Company is currently evaluating its options and expects to file an appeal of the ruling.
From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that there is no other litigation pending that is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations as of March 31, 2026. With respect to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.
NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Spin-Off, HCWC was a subsidiary of HCMC. Following the Spin-Off on September 13, 2024, the Company and HCWC operate as separate, publicly traded companies, though they remain related parties due to common ownership history and ongoing agreements.
Due to Related Party
Prior
to the Spin-Off, there was no intercompany agreement between the Company and HCWC. Management has determined that intercompany receivables
and payables will be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date. As a result, the Company’s intercompany balances
are reflected as “due to” or “due from” accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. After the Spin-Off, the
Company and HCWC provided services to each other pursuant to the separation agreements to facilitate a smooth transition. The Company
had a net due to related party balance of $
Settlement of Related Party Payable
On
December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Satisfaction of Debt Agreement with HCWC to settle the outstanding related
party payable. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued shares of its common stock to HCWC in full and final settlement
of the payable, which had a carrying value of $
In
accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, and SAB Topic 5.T, transactions involving related parties are recorded based on their
substance rather than merely their legal form. Related party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length
basis. Accordingly, the payable was extinguished at its carrying amount of $
For disclosure purposes only, the Company determined the fair value of the common stock issued as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. HCWC, as the investor, performed an impairment assessment of its investment in the Company using a third-party valuation. That assessment, which utilized a multi-method approach including observable and unobservable inputs, concluded that the fair value of the Company’s common stock exceeded HCWC’s carrying value; therefore, no impairment was recorded.
Agreements with HCWC
The Company entered into several agreements with HCWC that, among other things, affect the separation and govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off. These agreements include:
| ● | a Separation Agreement that sets forth HCMC’s and HCWC’s agreements regarding the principal actions that both parties take in connection with the Spin-Off and aspects of our relationship following the Spin-Off; | |
| ● | a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which HCMC and HCWC provide each other specified services on a transitional basis to help ensure an orderly transition following the Spin-Off. | |
| ● | a Tax Matters Agreement (“TMA”) that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of HCMC and HCWC after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and includes restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Spin-Off; and | |
| ● | an Employee Matters Agreement (“EMA”) that addresses employment, compensation and benefits matters, including the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities arising out of employee compensation and benefits programs in which our employees participated prior to the Spin-Off. |
Under the terms of the transition services agreement, the HCMC and HCWC provide to each other, on a transitional basis, certain services or functions, including information technology, accounting, human resources, and payroll functions. Generally, these services continue for a period of up to one year following the Spin-Off. Consideration and costs for the transition services are determined using several billing methodologies as described in the agreements, including customary billing and pass-through billing.
NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10, the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company identified the following subsequent event that would have required disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company entered
into a three-year consulting agreement with a third-party consultant effective April 24, 2026. Under the agreement, the consultant will

The Company seeks to further monetize its patent suite through development and production of its patented products, including the Q-Cup™ technology and Imitine, licensing and royalty agreements, and enforcement actions against infringers of its intellectual property.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, the Company manages and intends to expand on its intellectual property portfolio.
Additionally, the Company markets its patented the Q-Cup™ technology under the vape segment; this patented technology is based on a small, quartz cup called the Q-Cup™, which a customer partially fills with either cannabis or CBD concentrate (approximately 50mg) purchased from a third party. The Q-Cup™ is then inserted into the Q-Cup™ Tank or Globe, that heats the cup from the outside without coming in direct contact with the solid concentrate. This Q-Cup™ technology provides significantly more efficiency and an “on the go” solution for consumers who prefer to vape concentrates either medicinally or recreationally.
As disclosed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement on November 27, 2025, to commercialize a new product line, Quitcubes, utilizing the Company’s NatureTine™ ingredient. The distributor is responsible for marketing, customer fulfillment, and website management, while the Company is responsible for manufacturing. The launch was originally anticipated in the first quarter of 2026 but was delayed as the Company established the necessary operational infrastructure. As a result, the Company recorded no net sales from Quitcubes for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company has made significant progress and expects the official commercial launch to occur in June 2026. Management believes the successful launch of Quitcubes is critical to generating future revenue and addressing the Company’s recurring losses.
Liquidity
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainties related to our going concern assessment. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company currently and historically has reported net losses and cash outflows from operations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of approximately $1.1 million and negative working capital of $0.8 million. The Company’s liquidity needs through March 31, 2026 have been satisfied through financing agreement with private lenders.
On March 27, 2026, the Company terminated its prior $5 million credit facility with a private lender, and entered into a new $5 million Sabby Loan Agreement. The Sabby Facility matures on December 31, 2026, bears interest at 12% per annum, and allows for advances from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. In connection with the Sabby Facility, the Company received an initial advance of $500,000. The remaining $4.5 million is available for future draws.
Management has made plans to reduce certain costs and raise the capital needed, however there can be no assurance the Company can successfully implement these plans. The success of these plans is dependent upon various factors, foremost being the ability to reduce outside consulting expenses and the ability to secure additional capital from outside investors. There can be no assurance that such plans will be successful.
Management believes that the Company’s cash on hand, together with the availability of up to $4.5 million in additional draws under the Sabby Loan Agreement, will enable the Company to meet its obligations and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the financial statements to account for this uncertainty.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe the following factors affect our performance:
Pending Patent: We have developed, trademarked and are preparing to commercialize additional products. We include product development expenses as part of our operating expenses. In October 2018, we announced the granting of three US patents related to our Q-Cup™ technology. In addition, we have a suite of patent applications pending in the United States. There is no assurance that we will be awarded patents for any of these pending patent applications. There is no assurance that we can monetize the patents.
Manufacturing: We have no manufacturing capabilities and do not intend to develop any manufacturing capabilities. Third party manufacturers make our products to meet our design specifications. We depend on third party manufacturers for our vaporizer e-liquid and accessories. Any interruption in supply and or consistency of our products may harm our relationships and reputation with customers, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In order to minimize the risk of supply interruption, we currently utilize several third-party manufacturers to manufacture our products to our specifications.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our unaudited condensed consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 that is used in the following discussions of our results of operations:

| 14 |
Net sales and cost of sales were de minimis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company closed all its brick-and-mortar retail vape stores, as management had shifted its retail sales focus to the wholesale and online channel. The sales and cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 continued to be significantly impacted by the inability to bring new products to market via distribution.
Total operating expenses decreased by $1.4 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense, as well as a $0.3 million decrease in professional fees, payroll and benefits, and insurance expense.
Total other income (expense), net $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was mainly attributable to interest income of approximately $7,000 and $13,000 miscellaneous income. Total other income (expense), net of $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consists of $23,000 loss on asset disposal offset by net interest income of $9,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table and the discussion present the Company’s cash activities on continuing basis for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by: | ||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | (608,876 | ) | $ | (984,611 | ) | ||
| Investing activities | - | - | ||||||
| Financing activities | 606,022 | 513,352 | ||||||
| Total net decrease in cash | $ | (2,854 | ) | $ | (471,259 | ) | ||
Our net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulted from a net loss of $0.8 million, offset by a non-cash adjustment of approximately $13,000 and a net cash change of $0.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulted from a net loss of $2.2 million, offset by a non-cash adjustment of $1.2 million and a net cash change of $40,000 from changes in operating assets and liabilities.
There was no cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The net cash provided by financing activities of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is primarily due to $0.1 million net transfers from HCWC and $0.5 million cash proceeds from Sabby loan advance. The net cash provided by financing activities of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to $1.0 million net transfer from HCWC and $0.5 million cash payment of the credit line.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments with vendors that are reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on liquidity.
Our cash balances are kept liquid to support our growing acquisition and infrastructure needs for operational expansion. Most of our cash and cash equivalent are concentrated in one financial institution and is generally in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash. The following table presents the Company’s cash position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalent | $ | 1,137,634 | $ | 1,140,488 | ||||
| Total assets | $ | 1,434,534 | $ | 1,467,870 | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalent as a percentage of total assets | 79.3 | % | 77.7 | % | ||||
The Company reported a net loss from continuing operation of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company also had negative working capital of $0.8 million. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future.
The Company anticipates its current cash and its ability to draw up to $4.5 million under the Sabby Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet projected operating expenses for the foreseeable future through at least twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We base our estimates on our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, the attributes of our products, the regulatory environment, and in certain cases, the results of outside appraisals. These estimates include useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, allocation of corporate general expenses, and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Seasonality
We do not consider our business to be seasonal.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements including statements regarding retail expansion, the future demand for our products, the transition to vaporizer and other products, competition, the adequacy of our cash resources and our authorized Common Stock, and our continued ability to raise capital.
The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include our future common stock price, customer acceptance of our products, and proposed federal and state regulation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We are required to report under Section 404(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation on internal controls as of March 31, 2026 in regard to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. As a result of the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of March 31, 2026 and noted the material weaknesses as follows:
| ● | Failure to have properly documented and designed disclosure controls and procedures and testing of the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. |
| 16 |
| ● | Segregation of duties due to lack of personnel. | |
| ● | The Company had ineffective design, implementation and, operation of controls over logical access, program change management, and vendor management controls. The Company’s controls on IT should have included the following: |
| ◌ | Appropriate restrictions that would adequately prevent users from gaining inappropriate access to the financially relevant systems. | |
| ◌ | IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications and underlying accounting records, should be identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) were complete and accurate. | |
| ◌ | Obtaining and reviewing key third party service provider SOC reports. |
Our management concluded that considering internal control deficiencies that, in the aggregate, rise to the level of material weaknesses, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Planned Remediation
Management continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses listed above. In order to achieve the timely implementation of the above, management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an ongoing basis:
| ● | Continuing to increase headcount across the Company, with a particular focus on hiring individuals with strong internal control backgrounds and inventory expertise. | |
| ● | Establishing policies and procedures in the IT area to mitigate data breach, unauthorized access and address segregation of duties, as well as review key third party service provider SOC reports. |
We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financing Reporting
Except as detailed above, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
There were two lawsuits in connection with alleged claimed battery defects for an electronic cigarette device. One had been dismissed by the court wherein the plaintiff settled with the Company’s insurance carrier with no economic impact to the Company. In the second lawsuit, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had reached an arrangement with the plaintiff to resolve the matter, limiting potential exposure of the Company to $1.5 million which was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses, representing management’s estimate of the probable settlement amount based on the current status of discussions. This arrangement was formalized by a signed agreement on July 1, 2024 and the Company accrued $1.5 million at June 30, 2024. As of May 31, 2025, the Company already paid $1,500,000 in full.
On September 26, 2023, HCMC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (“RJR”) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in connection with HCMC’s assertions that RJR’s Vuse electronic cigarette infringes one of HCMC’s patents.
On November 17, 2023, RJR filed a motion to dismiss the action. HCMC opposed on December 22, 2023.
On September 18, 2024, RJR filed an inter partes review of the patent-in-suit at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).
In March 2026, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a decision in favor of RJR in the ongoing patent dispute. The Company is currently evaluating its options and expects to file an appeal of the ruling.
From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that there is no other litigation pending that is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations as of March 31, 2026. With respect to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.
