CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements and information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025 (this “Report”) contain or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We generally use the words “may,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “will,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking ~~statements~~ statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future events and results, including, ~~without~~ without limitation, statements related to:

	●	the Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (together with its successors and assigns, “Delta”), Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), KAVL Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) and Delta Corp Cayman Limited (the “Sellers”), the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and upon the closing of such transactions, the conduct of our continuing operations by our new management appointed by Pubco;

	●	our substantial reliance on, and efforts to diversify our business from, the business of our affiliate Bidi Vapor, LLC (“Bidi”);

	●	our inability to import and sell the Bidi Stick due to a patent infringement claim filed by R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and RAI Services Company with the; International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) against Bidi, us, and forty (40) other respondents (the “ITC Complaint”) and the ongoing investigation of the ITC in connection with the ITC Complaint;

	●	our ability to raise required funding in the form of debt or equity both in the near and longer term;

	●	our ability to integrate and ultimately enter into licenses for or create products relating to the intellectual property assets we acquired from GoFire, Inc. on May 30, 2023;

	●	the impact of the FDA’s marketing denial order (“MDO”) in January 2024 regarding the Classic BIDI® Stick tobacco-flavored ENDS product, which has the potential to have a substantial adverse impact on our company;

	●	the outcome of Bidi Vapor’s petition with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the January 2024 MDO related to Classic BIDI® Stick;

	●	our substantial reliance on our relationship with, and the results of marketing and sales activity by, Phillip Morris International, to whom we have licensed international rights to distribute Bidi products and from who we are entitled to receive royalty payments, which are currently our primary source of revenue;

	●	the impact of government regulation, laws or consumer preferences generally, or changes thereto, that could affect our business; and circumstances or developments that may make us unable to implement or realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs of, our current and planned business initiatives, including matters over which we have little or no control.

Forward-looking statements, including those concerning our expectations, involve significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” section contained in this Report and the section “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024, for a listing of some of the factors that could cause the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements to differ from actual future results. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this Report.

Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such statements are presented only as a guide about future possibilities and do not represent assured events, and we anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other statistical data prepared by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. These estimates and data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and potential investors are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates and data. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

Potential investors should not make an investment decision based solely on our projections, estimates or expectations.

Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc., was incorporated on September 4, 2018, in the State of Delaware.

Description of Business

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) of certain electronic nicotine delivery systems (“ENDS”) and related components (the “Products”) with Bidi Vapor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Bidi”). The Distribution Agreement was amended and restated on May 21, 2020, again on April 20, 2021, again on June 10, 2022, and again on November 17, 2022 (collectively the “A&R Distribution Agreement”), in order to clarify some of the provisions and memorialize the Company’s current business relationship with Bidi. Pursuant to the A&R Distribution Agreement, Bidi granted the Company an exclusive worldwide right to distribute the Products for sale and resale to non-retail level customers. Currently, the Products consist primarily of the “Bidi Stick.”

On August 31, 2020, the Company formed Kaival Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein referred to as “Kaival Labs”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for the purpose of developing Company-branded and white-label products and services. The Company has not yet launched any Kaival-branded product, nor has it begun to provide white label wholesale solutions for other product manufacturers. On March 11, 2022, the Company formed Kaival Brands International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein referred to as “KBI”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for the purpose of entering into an international licensing agreement with Philip Morris Products S.A. (“PMPSA”), a wholly owned affiliate of Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”).

On June 13, 2022, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, KBI, entered into the PMI License Agreement with PMPSA, a wholly owned affiliate of PMI, for the development and distribution of ENDS products in certain markets outside of the United States, subject to market (or regulatory) assessment. The PMI License Agreement grants to PMPSA a license of certain intellectual property rights relating to Bidi’s ENDS device, known as the BIDI® Stick in the United States, as well as potentially newly developed devices, to permit PMPSA to manufacture, promote, sell, and distribute such ENDS device and newly developed devices, in international markets, outside of the United States.

International Trade Commission (ITC) claims against the Company

As a result of the ITC Complaint and other factors, wethe doCompany does not expect any significant revenue from the sale of Bidi Sticks in the foreseeable future. ~~Our~~The ~~primary~~Company’s primary source of revenue is from KBI from royalties from PMI under the PMI License Agreement.

Impact of the FDA PMTA Decision and Subsequent Court Actions

In September 2021, in connection with the Bidi’s Premarket Tobacco Product Application (“PMTA”) process, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) effectively “banned” flavored ENDS by denying nearly all then-pending PMTAs for such products. Following the issuance of Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”), manufacturers are required to stop selling non-tobacco flavored ENDS products.

Bidi, along with nearly every other company in the ENDS industry, received a MDO for its non-tobacco flavored ENDS products. With respect to Bidi, the MDO covered all non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks, including its Arctic (menthol) BIDI® Stick. As a result, beginning in September 2021, Bidi pursued multiple avenues to challenge the MDO. First, on September 21, 2021, separate from the judicial appeal of the MDO in its entirety, Bidi filed a 21 C.F.R. § 10.75 internal FDA supervisory review request specifically of the decision to include the Arctic (menthol) BIDI® Stick in the MDO. In May 2022, the FDA issued a determination that it views the Arctic BIDI® Stick as a non-tobacco flavored ENDS product, and not strictly a menthol flavored product.

F-6

On September 29, 2021, Bidi petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “11^th Circuit”) to review the FDA’s denial of the comprehensive PMTAs for its non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Stick ENDS, arguing that it was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), as well as ultra vires, for the FDA not to conduct any scientific review of Bidi’s comprehensive applications, as required by the Tobacco Control Act (“TCA”), to determine whether the BIDI® Sticks are “appropriate for the protection of the public health”. Bidi further argued that the FDA violated due process and the APA by failing to provide fair notice of the FDA’s new requirement for ENDS companies to conduct long-term comparative smoking cessation studies for their flavored products, and that the FDA should have gone through the notice and comment rulemaking process for this requirement.

On October 14, 2021, Bidi requested that the FDA re-review the MDO and reconsider its position that Bidi did not include certain scientific data in its applications sufficient to allow the PMTAs to proceed to scientific review. In light of this request, on October 22, 2021, pursuant to 21 C.F.R. § 10.35(a), the FDA issued an administrative stay of Bidi’s MDO pending its re-review, permitting the Company to continue sales. Subsequently, the FDA decided not to rescind the MDO and lifted its administrative stay on December 17, 2021. Following the lifting of the FDA’s administrative stay, Bidi filed a renewed motion to stay the MDO with the 11^th Circuit. On February 1, 2022, the appellate court granted Bidi’s motion to stay (i.e., put on hold) the MDO, again allowing the Company to continue sales pending the litigation on the merits. Oral arguments in the merits-based proceeding were held on May 17, 2022.

On August 23, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit set aside the MDO issued to the non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks and remanded Bidi’s back to the FDA for further review. Specifically, the Court held that the MDO was “arbitrary and capricious” in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) because FDA failed to consider the relevant evidence before it, specifically Bidi’s aggressive and comprehensive marketing and sales-access-restrictions plans designed to prevent youth appeal and access.

The FDA did not appeal to the 11^th Circuit’s decision. The FDA had until October 7, 2022 (45 days from the August 23, 2022, decision) to either request a panel rehearing or a rehearing “en banc” (a review by the entire 11^th Circuit, not just the 3-judge panel that issued the decision), and until November 21, 2022 (90 days after the decision) to seek review of the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. No request for a rehearing was filed, and no petition for a writ of certiorari was made to the Supreme Court. On July 29, 2024, Bidi received a Recission of Marketing Denial letter from FDA formally rescinding the MDO for the non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Stick PMTAs and putting those applications back into the review process. The Company is able to market and sell the non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks, subject to the FDA’s enforcement discretion, for the duration of the PMTA scientific review.

Separately, on or about May 13, 2022, the FDA placed the tobacco-flavored Classic BIDI® Stick into the final Phase III scientific review. In March 2023, FDA issued a deficiency letter regarding the Classic BIDI® Stick PMTA, to which Bidi submitted in June 2023. Subsequently, on January 22, 2024, FDA issued a MDO for the Classic BIDI® Stick. On January 26, 2024, Bidi filed a petition for review of the MDO with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, followed by a motion to stay the MDO. Bidi is arguing, among other things, that the MDO was arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. On February 2, 2024, Bidi filed a Time Sensitive Motion for a Stay Pending Review, which the court denied on February 18, 2024. ~~The case is now proceeding~~ Briefing on the merits proceeded, with Bidi’s filing the opening merits brief ~~filed~~ on April 15, 2024. FDA filed its response brief on June 7, 2024, and Bidi filed its reply brief on July 29, 2024. ~~The~~Oral ~~11th~~arguments ~~Circuit~~were ~~has~~held ~~indicated that~~before ~~the~~a ~~oral~~three-judge ~~argument~~panel ~~will~~on bethe ~~held~~11th inCircuit on April 2, 2025.

Risks and Uncertainties

The FDA has indicated that it is prioritizing enforcement of unauthorized ENDS against companies (1) that never submitted PMTAs, (2) whose PMTAs have been refused acceptance or filing by the FDA, (3) whose PMTAs remain subject to MDOs, and (4) that are continuing to market unauthorized synthetic nicotine products after the July 13, 2022, cutoff. Subject to FDA’s enforcement discretion, until the scientific review process is complete on each of Bidi’s PMTA’s, the Company views the risk of FDA enforcement against Bidi as low and is no longer marketing the Classic BIDI® Stick per the MDO. The Company anticipates FDA will move forward with a review of Bidi’s PMTA on remand, as directed by the Court; however, the Company cannot provide any assurances as to the timing or outcome.

Merger and Share Exchange Agreement

On September 23, 2024, we agreed with Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Delta”) to effect a business combination between us and Delta by entering into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) among us, Delta, Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), KAVL Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and the shareholders of Delta. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we will effect a merger and share exchange involving the following transactions:

(a) Pubco shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Delta from each holder of Delta shares in exchange for the issuance by Pubco of ordinary shares in the capital of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”); and (b) immediately following to the completion of the Share Exchange, Merger Sub shall merge with and into us (the “Merger”), with us continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger.;

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Share Exchange and the Merger, each of us and Delta will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kaival Labs and Kaival Brands International. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period as reported in the 2024 Annual Report, have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. The Company had uninsured cash of $2,177,615 and $3,652,300 as of January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company had uninsured cash of $1,555,702 and $3,652,300 as of April 30, 2025, and October 31, 2024, respectively.

Advertising and Promotion

All advertising, promotion and marketing expenses, including commissions, are expensed when incurred.

Accounts Receivable and Reserve for Credit Loss

Accounts receivable pertain to contracts with customers who are granted credit by the Company in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable does not bear interest. Accounts receivable presented on the consolidated balance sheet are adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowance for credit losses. The Company’s reserve for credit losses is developed by using relevant available information including historical collection and loss experience, current economic conditions, prevailing economic conditions, supportable forecasted economic conditions and evaluations of customer balances. Once a receivable is deemed uncollectible after collection efforts have been exhausted, it is written off against the reserve for credit losses. The Company closely monitors the credit quality of its customers and does not generally require collateral or other security on receivables. The reserve for credit losses is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist.

Based upon management’s assessment of the accounts receivable aging and the customers’ payment history, the Company has determined that no reserve for credit losses is required as of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025 and October 31, 2024.

On January 22, 2024, the FDA issued an MDO on Bidi Vapor’s “Classic” BIDI ® Stick PMTA, which was subsequently upheld by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company evaluated the impact of this MDO to the financial statements and recorded an estimated accrual for potential customer returns of the “Classic” products of ~~$4,073~~0zero and $46,775 as of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, and October 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of purchases of inventories, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and revenue. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on trade receivables. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant credit losses.

Inventories

All product inventory is purchased from a related party, Bidi. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company determines cost based on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

On January 22, 2024, the FDA issued an MDO on Bidi Vapor’s tobacco-flavored “Classic” BIDI ® Stick PMTA,. ~~which~~The ~~Bidi~~appeal isof ~~currently~~that ~~appealing~~denial order before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. was unsuccessful. The Company evaluated the impact of this MDO to the financial statements and recognized a full reserve for all remaining “Classic” products on hand amounting to $313,654 ~~and $313,654~~ as of ~~January~~October 31, ~~2025,~~2024. ~~and~~The ~~October~~Company ~~31,~~has ~~2024~~0zero inventory as of April 30, ~~respectively~~2025.

Leases

F-9

at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined. When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”). The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on the Company’s understanding of what its credit rating would be to borrow and resulting interest the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Periods covered by the Company’s option to extend or terminate the lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its option to extend or not exercise its option to terminate, as applicable.Leases

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at commencement of the arrangement based on whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration, which relates to an asset which the Company does not own. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company recognizes lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments and a corresponding ROU asset at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined. When the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”). The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on the Company’s understanding of what its credit rating would be to borrow and resulting interest the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Periods covered by the Company’s option to extend or terminate the lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its option to extend or not exercise its option to terminate, as applicable.

Lease payments may be fixed or variable; however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments may include costs such as common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligations for those payments are incurred. The Company records rent expense for its operating lease, which has escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have any financing leases.

The Company made a policy election not to separate non-lease components from lease components for all its leases; therefore, it accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, such that leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which includes definite-lived intangibles, long-lived fixed assets and lease right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business or significant negative industry or economic trends. If this evaluation indicates that the value of the long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company makes an assessment of the recoverability of the net carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life. If this assessment indicates that the long-lived asset is not recoverable, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the technology over the remaining useful life, the Company reduces the net carrying value of the related asset to fair value and may adjust the remaining useful life. An impairment analysis is subjective and assumptions regarding future growth rates and operating expense levels can have a significant impact on the expected future cash flows and impairment analysis.

No impairment was identified for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025 ~~and~~ and 2024, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. Under ASC 606, disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors.

F-10

Products Revenue

The Company generates products revenue from the sale of the Products (as defined above) to non-retail customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time based on management’s evaluation of when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control of the Products has been transferred to the customer. In most situations, transfer of control is considered complete when the products have been shipped to the customer. The Company determined that a customer obtains control of the Product upon shipment when title of such product and risk of loss transfer to the customer. However, when the Company enters a consignment agreement with a new customer, once it ships and delivers the requested amount of ordered Products to its distribution center for its retail sales locations, the Company retains ownership of the delivered Products until they are delivered to the actual retail stores (as opposed to the Company’s consignment customer). The Company’s shipping and handling costs are fulfillment costs, and such amounts are classified as part of cost of sales. The Company offers credit sales arrangements to non-retail (or wholesale) customers and monitors the collectability of each credit sale routinely.

Revenue is measured by the transaction price, which is defined as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for providing goods to customers. The transaction price is adjusted for estimates of known or expected variable consideration, which includes refunds and returns as well as incentive offers and promotional discounts on current orders. Estimates for sales returns are based on, among other things, an assessment of historical trends, information from customers, and anticipated returns related to current sales activity. These estimates are established in the period of sale and reduce revenue in the period of the sale. Variable consideration related to incentive offers and promotional programs are recorded as a reduction to revenue based on amounts the Company expects to collect. Estimates are regularly updated, and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified. In many cases, key sales terms such as pricing and quantities ordered are established at the time an order is placed and incentives have very short-term durations.

Amounts billed and due from customers are short term in nature and are classified as receivable since payments are unconditional and only the passage of time related to credit terms is required before payments are due. The Company does not grant payment financing terms greater than one year. Payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue.

Royalty Revenue

On June 13, 2022, KBI entered into the PMI License Agreement with PMPSA, effective as of May 13, 2022 (the “PMI Commencement Date”). Pursuant to the PMI License Agreement, KBI granted PMPSA an exclusive irrevocable license to use its technology, documentation, and intellectual property to make, distribute, and sell disposable nicotine e-cigarettes Products based on the intellectual property in certain international markets set forth in the PMI License Agreement (the “PMI Markets”). The Company has the exclusive international distribution rights to the Products and, in order to allow KBI to fulfill its obligations set forth in the PMI License Agreement, has contributed the international distribution rights for the PMI Markets to KBI as set forth in a Capital Contribution Agreement, dated June 10, 2022. The sublicense granted to PMPSA is exclusive in the PMI Markets and neither KBI nor any of its affiliates can sell, promote, use, or distribute any competing products in the PMI Markets for the duration of the term of the PMI License Agreement and any Sell-Out Period (as defined in the PMI License Agreement). PMSPA will be responsible for any regulatory filings necessary to sell the Products in the PMI Markets. Both KBI and PMPSA agree to work together in the registration and maintenance of the Intellectual Property, but KBI will bear all cost and expense to implement the registration strategy. Finally, PMPSA has agreed to potential future development services with KBI in the PMI Markets and has been granted certain rights with respect to potential future products.

F-11

The initial term of the PMI License Agreement is five (5) years and automatically renews for an additional five-year period unless PMPSA has failed to meet the agreed upon minimum key performance indicators set forth in the PMI License Agreement, in which case the PMI License Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the initial license term.

F-11

In consideration for the grant of the licensed rights, PMPSA agreed to pay to KBI a royalty equal to a percentage of the base price of the first sale of each unit of Product manufactured. In addition, before the launch of the first product in a market and each anniversary of such launch, PMPSA agrees to pre-pay to KBI a guaranteed minimum royalty based on the estimated royalties payable by PMPSA to KBI in relation to all markets in the twelve (12)-month period following the first launch or each successive anniversary of the first launch, subject to an aggregate maximum guaranteed royalty payment for all markets for each applicable twelve (12)-month period. PMPSA may require modification of certain products to be sold under the PMI Licensing Agreement to be modified for a PMI Market. Pursuant to the PMI Licensing Agreement, PMPSA has absolute discretion over sales, marketing, product branding and packaging pertaining to sales in the PMI Markets, as well as the right to select the specific PMI Markets in which to launch commercialization and determine what product types are to be promoted in each market, subject to sales and marketing plans and annual business plans set by PMPSA and certain expansion criteria agreed between PMPSA and KBI. Royalty revenue earned from the PMI License Agreement is recognized in the period the sales of the Product manufactured occurs.

The PMI License Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions; however, KBI’s liability under the PMI License Agreement is capped at the greater of: (i) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); or (ii) an amount equal to the total of the royalties due to KBI (but not yet paid) plus the royalties (including the guaranteed royalty payment) paid to KBI pursuant to the PMI License Agreement during the immediately preceding twelve (12) consecutive months, provided that such amount shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000).

On June 10, 2022, Bidi entered into a License Agreement (the “KBI License Agreement”) with KBI, pursuant to which KBI has the exclusive irrevocable license to use Bidi’s licensed intellectual property to the extent necessary for KBI to fulfill its obligations set forth in the PMI Licensing Agreement. Such irrevocable license includes: (i) the right of KBI to grant sub-licenses to PMPSA under the PMI License Agreement for the express purposes set forth in the PMI License Agreement, but for no other purpose; (ii) the right of KBI to grant to PMPSA the right to grant sub-sub-licenses in the manner set forth in the PMI License Agreement, but for no other purpose; and (iii) certain branding rights to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to permit KBI to perform its obligations to PMPSA as set forth in the PMI License Agreement.

On August 12, 2023, the Company executed and entered into a Deed of Amendment No. 1 (the “PMI License Amendment”) with PMPSA, Bidi and KBI. Pursuant to the PMI License Amendment (which has an effective date of June 30, 2023), the following material changes have been made to the PMI License Agreement:

1. Royalty Rate. The royalty paid by PMPSA to KBI will no longer be based on sales price of the Product being sold, but rather on the volume of liquid contained within Product being sold. The royalty will be on a sliding scale of between $0.08 to $0.16 per sale based on the volume of liquid contained in the Product, increasing to between $0.10 to $0.20 per sale upon meeting certain sales milestones. For purposes of determining aggregate sales threshold, all sales undertaken since commencement of the PMI Licensing Agreement will be counted.

2. Elimination of Certain Potential Royalty Adjustments. Certain potential adjustments to the royalties receivable by KBI as provided for in the PMI License Agreement have been eliminated.

3. Guaranteed Royalty. The guaranteed royalty payment owed to KBI under the PMI License Agreement has been eliminated. Instead, royalties will be paid on a quarterly basis going-forward based on actual sales. Any unpaid guaranteed royalty has been cancelled.

F-12

4. Insurance Tail Requirements. KBI’s requirement to keep certain tail insurance after the expiration or termination of the PMI Licensing Agreement was reduced from 6 years to 2 years.

5. Markets. The identification of the PMI Markets that PMI may enter has been expanded to cover certain additional territories.

F-12

6. Net Reconciliation Payment to KBI. As a result of the changes to the PMI License Agreement described in paragraphs 1 thought 3 above, the value of such changes was calculated and reconciled as of the date of commencement of the PMI Licensing Agreement through June 30, 2023. On September 8, 2023, the Company received the Net Reconciliation Payment from PMPSA of $134,981 pursuant to this provision.

The KBI License Agreement provides that KBI shall pay Bidi license fees equivalent to 50% of the adjusted earned royalty payments, after any offsets due to jointly agreed costs such development costs incurred for entry to specific international markets. During the three months and six months ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, the Company paid license fees of $~~108~~90,000 and $198,215, respectively, to Bidi. As of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, $35,000 of license fees are owed to Bidi. During the three months and ~~October~~six 31months ended April 30, 2024, the Company paid license fees of $8160,~~429~~000 and ~~131~~$60,~~683~~000, respectively, to Bidi. As of October 31, 2024, $131,683 of license fees are owed to Bidi.

As of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, amounts receivable from ~~PMPSA~~ PMPSA in connection with the PMI License Agreement totaled $~~206~~70,~~857~~000 of which $~~206~~70,~~857~~000 and $0 pertain to royalties and reimbursement of certain non-recurring engineering costs, respectively. As of October 31, 2024, amounts receivable from PMPSA in connection with the PMI License Agreement totaled $263,367 of which $263,367 and $0 pertain to royalties and reimbursement of certain non-recurring engineering costs, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential common stock equivalents.

Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding plus common share equivalents from conversion of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury method and preferred stock using the if-converted method, except when antidilutive. In the event of a net loss, the effects of all potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (share-based payments, referred to herein as “SBP”) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which a recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the SBP award—the requisite service period (vesting period). For SBP awards subject to performance conditions, compensation is not recognized until the performance condition is probable of occurrence. The grant-date fair value of share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

●	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

●	Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

FFair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024. The respective carrying value of certain on-14balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and loans payable. As of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires additional disclosures reconciling the rates of different categories of income tax (i.e. federal, state, foreign, etc.) and a disaggregation of taxes paid and refunded. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its income tax disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The purpose of the amendment is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting this new guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB), Accounting Standards Update (or ASU) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company’s management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations for ~~three~~six months ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025. The Company will need significant additional funds to satisfy its outstanding payables, fund its working capital, and fully implement its business plan. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is adversely affected by the uncertainty surrounding Bidi’s PMTA process with ~~FDA and outcome of Bidi’s petition with~~ the ~~11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the~~ FDA’s ~~January~~for ~~2024~~its ~~MDO~~non-tobacco ~~relating~~flavored ~~to Classic~~ Bidi® Stick as well as the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to continue to sell the Bidi Stick given the patent infringements claim filed by RJ Reynolds. Likewise, in April 2025 the 11th Circuit upheld FDA’s MDO for the Classic BIDI® Stick. All of these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to continue developing strategies for similar or expanded operations for the Company’s business to help the Company’s ability to determine where its business will be viable going forward. Until such time, if ever, the Company can generate substantial product revenues, management plans to finance its cash needs through public or private equity offerings or debt financing.

However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, generate revenues or achieve profitability due to the factors listed above as well as the regulation and public perception of ENDS products and the various other risks faced by the Company. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these or other risks or uncertainties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a reader of the financial statements with a narrative report on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, included under Item 1 – Financial Statements in in this Report and our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2024, contained in the 2024 Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. ~~Please~~ Please also see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Report regarding forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are engaged in the sale, marketing and distribution of electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) products, also known as “e-cigarettes”, in a variety of favors. Until October of 2024, our primary source of revenue has been the Bidi Stick as we sold our inventory on hand. However, on June 11, 2024, RAI Strategic Holdings, Inc., R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and RAI Services Company (collectively, the “RJ Reynolds Entities”) filed a patent infringement complaint with the International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) against Bidi, us, and forty (40) other respondents (the “ITC Complaint”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Specifically, the ITC Complaint alleges that one or more components or elements of the Bidi Stick infringe U.S. Patent No. 11,925,202, which is owned by one of the RJ Reynolds Entities. The ITC Complaint requests the ITC grant: (a) temporary and permanent limited exclusion orders pursuant to Section 337(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which would prohibit the importation of the Bidi Stick in the United States; and (b) issue temporary and permanent cease and desist orders pursuant to 337(f) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which would prohibit the sale and distribution of the Bidi Stick in the United States. No damages are recoverable in the proceedings before the ITC. Since the initiation of the ITC Complaint, we have not imported any Bidi Sticks and currently do not generate any revenue from the sale of Bidi Sticks. Our current primary source of revenue is through an international licensing agreement with Philip Morris Products S.A. (“PMPSA”), a wholly owned affiliate of Philip Morris International Inc. (“PMI”).

We have also entered into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (together with its successors and assigns, “Delta”), Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), KAVL Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) and Delta Corp Cayman Limited (the “Sellers”). If the Merger Agreement is consummated, Pubco will become our parent and all new officers and directors will be appointed by Pubco, except that pursuant to the Merger Agreement we have the right to appoint one ~~director~~ director to the Pubco board of directors and we have agreed to appoint any family member of Ankitaben Patel (the widow of our former CEO, Nirajkumar Patel) and/or Nirajkumar Patel who is qualified and identified by Bidi for this role prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement. While we expect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to close (the “Closing”) in ~~March~~June ~~or April~~ of this year, no assurances can be made that such transactions will close by then or ever.

Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business

We believe that the following items and trends may be useful in better understanding our results of operations.

On June 11, 2024, the RJ Reynolds Entities filed the ITC Complaint. The ITC Complaint requests the ITC grant: (a) temporary and permanent limited exclusion orders pursuant to Section 337(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which would prohibit the importation of the Bidi Stick in the United States; and (b) issue temporary and permanent cease and desist orders pursuant to 337(f) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which would prohibit the sale and distribution of the Bidi Stick in the United States. No damages are recoverable in the proceedings before the ITC. If the Company or Bidi is prohibited from importing the Bidi Stick, then our business, operations, financial results, and reputation would be significantly adversely impacted. Although Bidi disputes the patent infringement claims set forth in the ITC Complaint by the RJ Reynolds Entities, in December 2024 Bidi entered into a consent order agreeing to cease all importation and distribution of the Bidi Stick until the RJ Reynolds Entities’ patent expires in October 2026. In November 2024, the ITC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) denied temporary relief to the Reynolds Entities and the case proceeded on the merits. A trial was held in April 2025. A decision from the ALJ is expected on July 21, 2025. The ALJ’s initial determination (ID) will be reviewed by the Commission and the Commission deadline is November 24, 2025, subject to potential extensions. The asserted patent expires in October 2026 as would any exclusion order that the ITC enters as a result of the ITC Complaint, as well as the Bidi consent order.

OnAs ~~June~~a ~~11,~~result ~~2024,~~of the ~~RJ Reynolds Entities filed the~~ ITC Complaint. ~~The ITC Complaint requests the ITC grant: (a) temporary~~ and ~~permanent~~other ~~limited exclusion orders pursuant to Section 337(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930~~factors, ~~as amended, which would prohibit the importation of the Bidi Stick in the United States; and (b) issue temporary~~ ~~and~~ we ~~permanent~~do ~~cease~~not ~~and~~expect ~~desist~~any ~~orders~~significant ~~pursuant~~revenue tofrom ~~337(f) of~~ the ~~Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, which would prohibit the~~ sale ~~and distribution~~ of ~~the~~ Bidi ~~Stick~~Sticks in the ~~United~~foreseeable ~~States~~future. NoOur ~~damages~~primary ~~are~~source ~~recoverable~~of ~~in the proceedings before the ITC. If the Company or Bidi~~ revenue is ~~prohibited~~ from ~~importing~~KBI ~~the~~from ~~Bidi~~royalties ~~Stick,~~from ~~then~~PMI ~~our~~under ~~business, operations, financial results, and reputation would be significantly adversely impacted. Bidi disputes~~ the ~~patent~~PMI ~~infringement~~License ~~claims set forth in the ITC Complaint by the RJ Reynolds Entities and plans to vigorously defend the ITC Investigation~~Agreement. A Commission determination regarding temporary relief is expected in October or December 2024. A final Commission determination on permanent relief is not expected until late 2025 or early 2026. The asserted patent expires in October 2026 as would any exclusion order that the ITC enters as a result of the ITC Complaint.

As a result of the ITC Complaint and other factors we do not expect any significant revenue from the sale of Bidi Sticks in the foreseeable future. Our primary source of revenue is from KBI from royalties from PMI under the PMI License Agreement.

PMI Licensing Agreement and International Distribution

On June 13, 2022, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, KBI, entered into the PMI License Agreement with PMPSA, a wholly owned affiliate of PMI, for the development and distribution of ENDS products in certain markets outside of the United States, subject to market (or regulatory assessment). The PMI License Agreement grants to PMPSA a license of certain intellectual property rights relating to Bidi’s ENDS device, known as the BIDI® Stick in the United States, as well as potentially newly developed devices, to permit PMPSA to manufacture, promote, sell, and distribute such ENDS device and newly developed devices, in international markets, outside of the United States.

On July 25, 2022, we announced the launch of PMPSA’s custom-branded self-contained e-vapor product, pursuant to the licensing agreement. The product, a self-contained e-vapor device initially called VEEBA and more recently rebranded as VEEV NOW, has been custom developed and was initially distributed in Canada. VEEV NOW was then commercially launched by PMPSA in Europe in February 2023, with additional market launches planned this year. On August 12, 2023, we executed and entered into a Deed of Amendment No. 1 (the “PMI License Amendment”) with PMPSA, Bidi and KBI. Pursuant to the PMI License Amendment (which was effective on June 30, 2023), resulting in a Net Reconciliation Payment to KBI and ongoing quarterly royalty payments.

The ability of PMPSA to generate sales of its licensed products is important to our results of operations since we derive royalty revenue from PMPSA sales. Should our relationship with PMPSA deteriorate or terminate, or if PMPSA is unable to generate meaningful sales of its licensed products, our business and results of operations would be materially harmed.

Ability to Develop and Monetize the GoFire Intellectual Property

We purchased certain vaporizer and inhalation-related technology from GoFire in May 2023 with the goal of diversifying our business and lessening our dependence on BIDI Vapor. We do not expect that the acquired assets will generate immediate revenue for us, and while we believe this to be a transformative acquisition for us and we are already seeking to develop and monetize the acquired assets, we can give no assurances at this time that either (i) the patent applications we acquired will eventuate in issued patents or (ii) we will be able to enter into successful monetizing arrangements with respect to these assets.

Inflation

Consumer purchases of tobacco products are historically affected by economic conditions, such as changes in employment, salary and wage levels, the availability of consumer credit, inflation, interest rates, fuel prices, sales taxes, and the level of consumer confidence in prevailing and future economic conditions. The U.S. has been experiencing an environment of material inflation in recent quarters, and this condition may impact discretionary consumer purchases, such as the BIDI® Stick. Demand for our Products may also decline during recessionary periods or at other times when disposable income is lower, and taxes may be higher.

Corporate History

We were incorporated on September 4, 2018, in the State of Delaware. Effective July 12, 2019, we changed our corporate name from Quick Start Holdings, Inc. to Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity.

Change of Control

On February 6, 2019, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among us, GMRZ Holdings LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GMRZ”), our then-controlling stockholder, and Kaival Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KH”), pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 24,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KH, and KH paid GMRZ consideration in the amount set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control, with KH becoming our largest controlling stockholder. KDMM Trust I, the trustee of which is the widow of Kaival’s former Chief Executive Officer and director, Nirajkumar Patel, is the sole voting member of KH.

Other Potential Product Offerings & Opportunities

In May 2023 , we acquired 19 existing and 47 47 pending patents with novel technologies related to vaporization and inhalation technologies from GoFire. The GoFire patent portfolio ~~includes~~ includes novel technologies across extrusion dose control, product preservation, tracking and tracing usage, multiple modalities (i.e., ~~different~~ different methods of vaporizing) and child safety. The patents and patent applications cover territories including the United States, Australia, Canada, China, the EPO (European Patent Organization), Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and South Korea. The portfolio also ~~includes~~ includes a proprietary mobile device software application that is used in   conjunction with certain patents in the portfolio.

We expect to continue seeking third-party licensing opportunities in the cannabis, hemp/CBD, nicotine, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical markets, as a means of monetizing our patents. Longer term, we believe we can utilize the acquired patents to create innovative and market-disruptive products for its growing base of adult consumers, including patent protected vaporizer devices and related hardware and software applications.

As described above, we hope to generate revenue from this acquired intellectual property via licensing and product development activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement this strategy.

Going Concern

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company’s management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued.

4The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations for six months ended April 30, 2025. The Company will need significant additional funds to satisfy its outstanding payables, fund its working capital, and fully implement its business plan. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is adversely affected by the uncertainty surrounding Bidi’s PMTA process with the FDA for its non-tobacco flavored Bidi® Stick as well as the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to continue to sell the Bidi Stick given the patent infringements claim filed by RJ Reynolds. Likewise, in April 2025 the 11th Circuit upheld FDA’s MDO for the Classic BIDI® Stick. All of these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations for three months ended January 31, 2025. The Company will need significant additional funds to satisfy its outstanding payables, fund its working capital, and fully implement its business plan. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is adversely affected by the uncertainty surrounding Bidi’s PMTA process with FDA and outcome of Bidi’s petition with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the FDA’s January 2024 MDO relating to Classic Bidi® Stick as well as the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to continue to sell the Bidi Stick given the patent infringements claim filed by RJ Reynolds. All of these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe we will not have sufficient cash on hand to support our operations for at least twelve months. As of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, we had working capital of $1906,~~998,945~~ 727 and total cash of $21,~~427~~805,~~612~~702. As discussed above, this condition and other factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to generally rely on cash from operations and equity and debt offerings to the extent necessary and available, to satisfy our liquidity needs. There are several factors that could result in the need to raise additional funds, including a decline in revenue, a lack of anticipated sales growth, and increased costs. Our efforts are directed toward generating positive cash flow and, ultimately, profitability. As our efforts during our fiscal 2024 and since have not generated positive cash flows, we will need to raise additional capital. Should capital not be available to us at reasonable terms, other actions will become necessary, including implementing cost control measures and additional efforts to generate sales. We may also be required to take more strategic actions such as exploring strategic options for the sale of our company, the creation of joint ventures or strategic alliances under which we will pursue business opportunities, or other alternatives. We believe we have, or have access to, the financial resources to weather the impacts of the FDA’s PMTA process and Bidi’s receipt of MDOs from the FDA in 2021 and 2024, which are subject to additional FDA action ~~and ongoing court proceedings, respectively~~. However, we will require further financing for the next twelve months, given our operating results and our inability to sell Bidi sticks as a result of the ITC complaint filed by RJ Reynolds.

Cash Flows:

Net cash flows used in operations was approximately $01.95 million for the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.27 million cash flows provided by operations for the first ~~three~~ six months of fiscal year 2024. The decrease in cash flows provided by operations for the first six ~~three~~ months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to ~~changes~~the inincrease ~~accounts~~of ~~receivable~~stock-based compensation, loss on ROU asset and ~~inventory~~lower sales revenue.

Net cash flows used in financing activities was approximately $0.6 million for the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2025, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $0.28 for the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2024. The cash used in financing activities for the first ~~three~~six months of fiscal year 2025 consisted primarily of payments on ~~loans~~ ~~payables~~preferred dividends and ~~preferred~~payments ~~dividends~~on loans payables.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 consisted primarily of salaries and wages, insurance, lease expense, project expenses, banking fees, business fees and state and franchise taxes.

Income Taxes:

During the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we did not accrue a provision for income taxes, due to the pre-tax loss of approximately ($42.0) million. Similarly, we did not accrue a provision for income taxes, due to the pre-tax loss of approximately ($2.1).5 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Net Loss:

As a result of the items noted above, the net loss for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was approximately $42.0 million, or $0.4317 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $21.25 million, or $0.7656 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the second ~~first~~ quarter of fiscal year 2024. The increase in the net loss for the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2025, as compared to the second ~~first~~ quarter of fiscal year 2024, is primarily attributable to the ~~decrease~~increase inof ~~revenues~~stock-based ~~and~~compensation, ~~increase~~loss inon ~~operating~~ROU ~~expenses~~asset asand ~~noted~~lower sales ~~above~~revenue.

Six months ended April 30, 2025, compared to six months ended April 30, 2024

Revenues:

Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2025, were approximately $0.2 million, compared to $5.4 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024. Revenues decreased during the six months ended April 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in product sales to customers.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit:

Gross profit for the six months ended April 30, 2025, was approximately $0.2 million, compared to gross profit of approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024. Total cost of revenue was approximately zero million for the six months ended April 30, 2025, compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit of approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024 is due to the reduction of product sales to customers during the six months April 30, 2025.

Operating Expenses:

Total operating expenses were approximately $6.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2025, compared to approximately $4.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024. For the six months ended April 30, 2025, operating expenses consisted primarily of stock option expense of $34 thousand, professional fees totaling approximately $4.1 million, loss on ROU asset of $0.7 million, and all other general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million. General and administrative expenses during the six months ended April 30, 2025, consisted primarily of salaries and wages, insurance, lease expense, project expenses, banking fees, business fees and state and franchise taxes.

For the six months ended April 30, 2024, operating expenses were approximately $4.7 million, consisting primarily of advertising and promotion fees of approximately $0.7 million, stock option expense of $21 thousand, professional fees totaling approximately $1.3 million, and all other general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.7 million.

Net Loss:

The net loss for the first six months ended April 30, 2025, was approximately $6.1 million, or $0.58 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2024, which was approximately $3.6 million, or $1.32 basic and diluted net loss per share. The increase in the net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024, is primarily attributable to the increase of stock based compensation, loss on ROU asset and lower sales revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025 from those disclosed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our 2024 Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act eases restrictions on the sale of securities and increases the number of stockholders a company must have before becoming subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure rules. We have not elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15e and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President & Chief Operating Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of ~~January~~April 3130, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our President & Chief Operating Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Our management has concluded, based on their evaluation, that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended October 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have occurred during the ~~first~~ quarter ended ~~January~~April 3130, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
