EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Borealis Foods Inc. (the “Company,” “Borealis,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 2, 2026 (the “Original 10-K”).

This Amendment is being filed in response to a comment letter received from the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC, dated July 15, 2026, with respect to the Original 10-K (the “Comment Letter”). Specifically, this Amendment addresses comments 3 and 4 of the Comment Letter, which noted that:

(i)

the report of the independent registered public accounting firm included in the Original 10-K with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 did not clearly identify the name of the company whose financial statements were audited, as the address block and opening sentence of the opinion referred only to “… and Subsidiaries” without naming Borealis Foods Inc.; and

(ii)

(ii) the Original 10-K did not include the report of the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as required by Rule 8-02 of Regulation S-X, which requires that an annual report on Form 10-K include two years of audited financial statements together with the accompanying audit opinions.

Accordingly, this Amendment:

(i)

amends and restates Item 8 of Part II of the Original 10-K in its entirety to include (a) a revised report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that clearly identifies Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries as the company whose financial statements were audited, and (b) the report of the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; and

(ii)

amends and restates Item 15 of Part IV of the Original 10-K to file, as exhibits, (a) the consent of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to its revised report on the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 financial statements, and (b) updated certifications of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in each case as required by Exchange Act Rule 12b-15.

Other than as described above, this Amendment does not amend, and should be read together with, the Original 10-K, and does not reflect events occurring after the date the Original 10-K was filed, or modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments described above. This Amendment does not modify or update any other items in the Original 10-K, including any forward-looking statements, and does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing date of the Original 10-K, except as expressly set forth herein. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K and the Company's other filings with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original 10-K. This Amendment does not affect any other items of the Original 10-K, and all other information in the Original 10-K is unchanged and not restated herein.

References to the “Company,” “Borealis,” “we,” or “our” in this Amendment refer to Borealis Foods Inc. and, as applicable, its wholly owned and consolidated subsidiaries.

PART II

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, including the related notes, are unchanged from the Original 10-K and are not repeated in this Amendment. This Item 8 is amended and restated solely to include the following, each of which is attached to this Amendment and incorporated herein by reference:

ANNEX A

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm — Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 15, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the substantial amount of debt coming due within the next 12 months and negative cash flow position along with other conditions as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

ANNEX B

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm — Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Borealis Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Reverse Recapitalization Transaction

As described further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 7, 2024, Borealis Foods Inc. (“Borealis”) consummated a merger transaction with Oxus Acquisition Corp. (“Oxus”). The merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), in which Borealis was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Oxus the legal acquirer based upon the terms of merger transaction.

We identified the accounting for the reverse recapitalization as a critical audit matter because of the complexity in the determination of the proper treatment of the transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including judgments made by management to arrive at the proper conclusion. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased level of effort when performing audit procedures.

Our audit procedures performed to address the critical matter included, among others:

●

Review key documents of the transaction.

●

Review Management’s analysis for the accounting treatment of the transaction and related impact.

●

Review the Opening Balance Adjustments Workbook and accounting treatment and application of audit areas impacted.

●

Verify mathematical accuracy of supporting schedules utilized for opening balance sheet adjustments.

●

Ensure accounting treatment and application to impacted areas done in accordance with underlying agreements and US GAAP.
