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 UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
LQR House Inc. (“LQR”
or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 11, 2021, in the state of Delaware. 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. The Company operates primarily
in the beverage alcohol industry owning specialty brands, providing marketing and distribution services.
As
of March 31, 2024, 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.
Country
Wine & Spirits (“CWS”) Platform
On
November 1, 2023, LQR House Acquisition Corp. (the “Buyer”), a subsidiary of the Company, and SSquared Spirits LLC (the
“Seller”) entered into a Domain Name Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller
irrevocably sold, assigned, transferred, and conveyed to the Buyer (a) all right, title, and interest in and to the domain name
www.cwspirits.com (the “Domain Name”, or “CWS Platform”), including its current registration and (b) any
other rights (including, but not limited to, trademark rights associated with the Domain Name in any jurisdiction, all Internet
traffic through the Domain Name and all Website Content (as defined in the Agreement) the Seller may have in the Domain Name,
together with any goodwill associated therewith in exchange for the payment by the Buyer of the purchase price of $10,000.
See Note 4.
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Sean Dollinger, owns 50% of the equity of the Seller, and the other 50% is owned by
a minority shareholder of the Company. A Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consisting of all independent directors
approved the terms of the Agreement on November 1, 2023. See Note 6.
Stock
Dividend in the Form of Stock Split
In February 2024, the Board
of Directors declared a 50% stock dividend for distribution to all of the Company’s shareholders of record at the close of
business on February 12, 2024. On March 1, 2024, 1,609,817 shares were issued per dividend. As a result of the stock dividend,
a 3:2 stock split was effected. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the stock split.
2. GOING CONCERN
The
Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated 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 $2,427,392 and $322,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and has negative cash flows from operations
of $1,374,040 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company requires additional capital to operate and expects losses to continue
in the foreseeable future. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until it reaches profitability is dependent upon its ability to generate cash
from operating activities and to raise additional capital to fund operations. Management plans to raise additional capital to fund operations
through debt and/or equity financings. The Company has raised funds from the initial public offering in August 2023 and an additional
$16.6 million from its public offerings in October and November 2023. Our failure to raise additional capital could have a negative
impact on not only our financial condition but also our ability to execute our business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in these efforts. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
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.
Principles
of Consolidation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LQR House Acquisition Corp. All
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Unaudited
Interim Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated
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 three-month
periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April
1, 2024.
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, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to business combinations, and 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.
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 is reliant on its relationship with KBROS who currently handles product for the CWS Platform and fulfills the products
sold by clientele using our marketing services. The discontinuance of such relationship or termination of the CWS Platform agreements
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.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The
Company has investments in mutual funds. The investments are classified as available-for-sale and are held at fair value. The investments
have a readily determinable fair value and as such, are recognized as a Level 1 instrument.
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.
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, sales via
the CWS Platform, distribution of its SWOL Tequila product and subscription-based membership revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts.
Marketing
Services
The

Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue consists of all direct costs attributable to performing marketing services and the Company’s product sales. Cost of
revenue includes product costs, affiliate payouts, contracted marketing services, direct advertising costs for marketing campaigns, packaging,
shipping and other importing and delivery charges. Cost of revenue also includes customer service personnel and amortization of the Company’s
marketing license asset in 2023.
Sales
and Marketing
Sales
and marketing costs primarily consist of advertising, promotional expenses and marketing consulting and advisory services. Sales and
marketing costs also include sales commissions.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”).
The Company measures all equity-based awards granted to employees, independent contractors and advisors based on the fair value on the
date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting
period of the respective award.
The
Company classifies equity based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s
payroll or contractor costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
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 March 31,
2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially
dilutive items outstanding as of March 31, 2024 include the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units (See Note 6).
Recently
Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
4. ACQUISITION OF CWS PLATFORM
On
November 1, 2023, LQR House Acquisition Corp. (the “Buyer”), a subsidiary of the Company, and SSquared Spirits LLC (the
“Seller”, or “SSquared”) entered into a Domain Name Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Seller irrevocably sold, assigned, transferred, and conveyed to the Buyer (a) all right, title, and interest
in and to the domain name www.cwspirits.com (the “Domain Name”, or “CWS Platform”), including its current
registration and (b) any other rights (including, but not limited to, trademark rights associated with the Domain Name in any
jurisdiction, all Internet traffic through the Domain Name and all Website Content (as defined in the Agreement) the Seller may have
in the Domain Name, together with any goodwill associated therewith in exchange for the payment by the Buyer of the purchase price
of $10,000.
Under
Regulation S-X 3-05, management determined that the CWS Platform acquisition constituted a business combination as the revenue producing
activity (e-commerce sales) is expected to be similar both pre and post-domain name acquisition. As such, the Company recorded
an intangible asset of $10,000 for the purchase price consideration of the domain name.
Management assessed the
fair value of the Domain Name and CWS Platform in determining to allocate the $10,000 to the domain name. In making such
determination, management considered the related party nature of the transaction, the current environment for direct-to-consumer
alcoholic beverage companies and the related competition in which they operate, and the fact that the initial and continued
operation of the CWS Platform is completely dependent on the relationship between the Company, our CEO and a minority shareholder,
who co-owned SSquared and operates KBROS, LLC (“KBROS” or the “Product Handler”), the Company’s
contracted product handler. Without such relationship, which can be terminated in certain circumstances, the underlying CWS Platform
would be unable to operate as intended until a suitable alterative product handler would be identified. Therefore, no fair
value in excess of the consideration provided was considered.
The
Company has consolidated the results of operations of the CWS Platform since November 1, 2023.

common stock and sales of our products and services.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 $2,427,392 and $322,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and has negative cash
flows from operations of $1,374,040 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company requires additional capital to operate and
expects losses to continue for the foreseeable future. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until it reaches profitability is dependent upon its ability to generate cash
from operating activities and to raise additional capital to fund operations. Management plans to raise additional capital to fund operations
through debt and/or equity financings. The Company has raised funds from the initial public offering in August 2023 and an additional
$16.6 million from its public offerings in October and November 2023. Our failure to raise additional capital could have a negative
impact on not only our financial condition but also our ability to execute our business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in these efforts. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

Contractual
Obligations and Related Party Transactions
Funding
Commitment Agreement
On November 1, 2023, the Company entered into
a Funding Commitment Agreement with KBROS, LLC, the Product Handler pursuant to the Product Handling Agreement as defined in Note 4. Pursuant
to this agreement, the Company commits to provide annual funding to the Product Handler from time to time in the minimum amount of $2,500,000
to enable the Product Handler to purchase inventory from Company-approved vendors (“Vendors”) and for other purposes set forth
in the Product Handling Agreement. The Company may combine all of the Company’s advances to Product Handler or on Product Handler’s
behalf, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company may, without notice to Product Handler, elect not to advance
funding for any inventory sold by particular Vendors with respect to which the Company reasonably feels insecure. This agreement concerns
funding commitment, and not the purchase of Products from Product Handler or Vendors.

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.
There
have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 March 31, 2024, 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 a 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 comprise 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 March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule
12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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, there have been no material
changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In August 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share
buyback program under which the Company can repurchase up to 20% of its common stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases,
in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. 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 commenced in September 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.
In January 2024, the Board of Directors of the
Company authorized an increase of the share buyback program to $5,000,000.
