IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act,”) as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other exemptions from requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

	●	Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

	●	Exemptions from non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute; and

	●	Exemption from auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of the common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

LQR House Inc. (“LQR” or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 11, 2021, in the state of Delaware. The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry owning specialty brands, providing marketing and distribution services.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not achieved its planned level of operations. The Company’s activities since inception have been limited and consisted of formation activities, commencement of operations and capital raising activities. To date, the Company has only generated limited amounts of revenue and the Company is dependent on external capital, including funds from the initial public offering (described below) to execute its planned operations.

Reorganization and Reverse Stock Split

On February 3, 2023, the Company changed its state of incorporation to the State of Nevada by merging into LQR House Inc., a Nevada corporation. On February 3, in accordance with our reincorporation to Nevada, the Company’s authorized capital stock changed from 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, to 350,000,000 shares, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. At the same time, the Company also completed a 6-for-1 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock through the merger by issuing one share of common stock for every six previously outstanding shares of common stock of the predecessor Delaware company. The accompanying financial statements and related disclosures have been presented to retroactively reflect the Reorganization.

Initial Public Offering

On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (“EF Hutton”), relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering” or “IPO”) of 1,150,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock which included the exercise by the underwriters in full of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an offering price of $5.00 per share. The closing of the IPO took place on August 11, 2023. Total gross proceeds, including the exercise of the over-allotment option, was $5.75 million. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company from the IPO were approximately $4.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and total offering expenses.

2. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $9,419,793 and has negative cash flows from operations of $4,568,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Management’s Plans

The Company has raised funds from the IPO (Note 1) and an additional $15.0 million from its public offerings in October and November 2023 (see Note 9). However, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed financial statements may not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and acquisition plans for at least one year. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, or to obtain additional capital financing to support current negative cash flow trends. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements, however, the Company may adopt accounting standards based on the effective dates for public entities when early adoption is permitted.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information, within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and of the financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to the nine-month periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s prospectus that forms a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-272660) which was declared effective on August 9, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to customary risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the need for protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, costs of services provided by third parties and limited operating history.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is consolidated. The Company evaluated whether it was the primary beneficiary in its common control asset acquisitions and related party agreements and determined it is not the primary beneficiary of any entities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company maintains balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

Concentrations

The Company’s ability to derive revenue from marketing services is reliant on its relationship and marketing license agreement with Ssquared Spirits LLC, a related party entity, and CWS who fulfills sales for the products sold by clientele using our marketing services. The discontinuance of such relationships or termination of the marketing license agreement would have a material negative impact on the Company’s operations.

Furthermore, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors. The loss of one of these vendors may have a negative short-term impact on the Company’s operations. However, the Company believes there are acceptable substitute vendors that can be utilized longer term.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

●

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount of its advances to related parties approximate fair value due to its short-term maturity.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are derived from services and products delivered to customers and are stated at their net realizable value. Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of prepaid advertising, marketing and investor relations costs. The agreements have terms ranging from three months to one year. Prepaids are amortized to the respective expenses over the life of the agreements.

Related Parties

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers¸ the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

●

Identification of a contract with a customer;

●

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Determination of the transaction price;

●

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.

The Company derives its revenue from marketing services, distribution of its SWOL Tequila product to CWS, and subscription-based membership revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts.

Marketing Services

The Company contracts with third-party alcoholic beverage brands to utilize access to the CWS alcoholic beverage website (the “CWS Platform). The Company and the brands enter into a commercial relationship. The Company performs services such as creating a marketing campaign strategy, developing promotional materials and advertising promotional materials through the CWS Platform. Revenue is recognized over a period time, as the marketing services are being continually provided on a daily and monthly basis over the life of an agreed upon campaign. Marketing campaigns generally range from one to three months.

Contract liabilities represent obligations to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has already received consideration. Payments for marketing services are generally received upfront in advance of the Company satisfying the related performance obligation and are recorded as a deferred revenue liability. The deferred revenue is reduced as the services are performed and the revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $0 in deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Net Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of September 30, 2023, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

	September 30,
	2023		2022
Restricted stock units		1,270,000		-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, general and administrative expenses were $8,684,826 and $853,327, respectively. In 2023, the Company recorded $5,552,500 in non-cash stock-based compensation expense due to the issuance of common shares for services.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $9,419,793 and $1,699,484, respectively, primarily due to the higher operating expenses incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,863,835 and $7,565, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuances of common stock and sales of our products and services.

The Company has raised $4.5 million from the IPO and an additional $15.0 million from its public offerings in October and November 2023. However, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed financial statements may not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and acquisition plans for at least one year. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, or to obtain additional capital financing to support current negative cash flow trends. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Cash Flow Activities

The following table presents selected captions from our condensed statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Nine Months Ended

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,035,463, primarily due to our net loss of $1,699,484, partially offset by non-cash charges of $505,375 and $158,645 in cash used in operating assets and liabilities.

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no significant cash requirements for capital expenditures or other cash needs under any contractual or other obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

●

Identification of a contract with a customer;

●

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Determination of the transaction price;

●

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.

Service revenue is recognized over a period time, as the marketing services are being continually provided on a daily and monthly basis over the life of an agreed upon campaign. Product revenue is recognized at the point in the products are delivered to CWS, when LQR House has fulfilled its performance obligation.

Related Parties

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership, or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. We disclose related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. We follow ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Stock-Based Compensation

We classify stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Even disclosure controls and procedures determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance that their objectives are achieved.

As of September 30, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective at the reasonable assurance level.

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties which comprises a material weakness in internal controls. This lack of segregation of duties leads management to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over our Exchange Act reporting disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, 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

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item. In any event, please see below for a risk factor in connection with the Company’s share buyback program.

Our share buyback program that was approved by the Board in August 2023 could affect our stock price and increase its volatility, and may reduce the market liquidity for our stock. The share buyback program may also materially impact the Company’s liquidity.

Repurchases pursuant to the share buyback program entered into in August 2023, or any other share buyback program we adopt in the future, could affect our stock price and increase its volatility and may reduce the market liquidity for our stock. The existence of a share buyback program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program. Additionally, these repurchases will diminish our cash and may subject us to additional taxes, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions and would result in lower overall returns on our cash balances. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will, in fact, occur, or, if they occur, that they will enhance stockholder value. Although share buyback programs are intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of these repurchases.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Private Placement

From April to September 2023, the Company conducted a private placement of and entered into certain subscription agreements with several accredited investors. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company issued 955,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for a total of $955,000.

The Company engaged and entered into an agreement with Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari”) on August 28, 2023, to effect the share buyback program. The share buyback program is expected to commence on, or about, September 8, 2023. Dominari shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing, amount, prices and manner of purchase of securities during such period. The share buyback program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. On September 8, 2023, 79,310 shares of the Company were purchased at a cost average of $1.1553 per share in accordance with Rule 10b-18.
