Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”). Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”. At that time, our common stock started to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”, from the former trading symbol “ANFC”. Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana and/or managing similar assets for third parties.
On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
On October 10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed an IPO raising $138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total contribution of $4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement. On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination agreement, which subsequently closed on August 9, 2019.
On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered into certain employment and registration rights agreements.
As of May 6, 2021, the Company still owned 177,479 shares of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE), the surviving entity after BRAC’s business combination (“Sponsor Shares”), with a fair market value of $425,950.
On May 5, 2021, we announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged good (CPG) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launches with its first line of non-GMO products including 6 ready-to-make smoothies and 9 snacks. The smoothie lineup offers a mix of both new and familiar flavors: Açaí of Relief (açaí, blueberry); Mint to Be (banana, coconut, mint); and Berry Apeeling (banana, strawberry). Sow Good packaged snack lineup includes single-ingredient fruits and vegetables such as Mon Cherry (cherries); Cool Beans (edamame); and What’s Apple’n (apples). Smoothies are $7.50 each and packaged snacks are $5.25 per bag.
In addition, we completed the build-out of our production facility in March, and have finalized products and packaging, while delivering samples to potential B2B customers. Our first freeze drier successfully completed its production testing in March 2021. The company is now producing its own freeze-dried fruits and vegetables from individual quick freeze (IQF) raw materials. Freeze dried food production also continues to be supplemented by our relationships with co-manufacturing partners.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The interim condensed financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not make the information presented misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company had $1,647,593 of cash in excess of FIDC and SIPC insured limits at March 31, 2021, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
Software | 3 years, or over the life of the agreement |
Office equipment | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Machinery and equipment | 7-10 years |
Intangible assets | 10 years |
Leasehold improvements | Fully extended lease-term |
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation expense was $4,996 and $271 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations.
Our intellectual property is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of raw materials, material overhead, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and consists of the following:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Raw materials | $ | 116,228 | $ | 141,371 | ||||
Work in progress | 314,018 | – | ||||||
Packaging materials | 26,618 | – | ||||||
$ | 456,864 | $ | 141,371 |
No reserve for obsolete inventories has been recognized, and we have not yet commenced production.

Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company will recognize revenue from the sale of its freeze-dried food products once operations commence, in accordance with a five-step model in which the Company will evaluate the transfer of promised goods or services and recognize revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company will perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) 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 has elected, as a practical expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Revenue will be reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions will be dependent on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company will record reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates will be based on industry-based historical data, historical sales returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Stock-based compensation was $375,891 and $35,284, consisting entirely of expenses related to common stock and options issued for services for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to 6.5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to 7 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date. In addition, $13,795 of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
On December 22, 2017 the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to value its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new rate. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain effects of Tax Reform. The ultimate impact may differ from the provisional amount, possibly materially, as a result of additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of Tax Reform.

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities can periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if converted method. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

In May 2020, the SEC adopted final rules that amend the financial statement requirements for significant business acquisitions and dispositions. Among other changes, the final rules modify the significance tests and improve the disclosure requirements for acquired or to be acquired businesses and related pro forma financial information, the periods those financial statements must cover, and the form and content of the pro forma financial information. The final rules do not modify requirements for the acquisition and disposition of significant amounts of assets that do not constitute a business. The final rules were effective January 1, 2021. The Company has considered these final rules and updated its disclosures, as applicable.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 – Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions from Topic 740 and making minor improvements to the codification. ASU 2019-12 and its related amendments are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The provisions of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the period ended March 31, 2021, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $37,486,215, and had cash and liquid securities on hand of $3,057,253. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company intends to sell its AESE shares to continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance the share price will be sufficient to sustain operations, therefore the Company may be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are also no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital. As of May 6th 2021, the Company had $1,862,434 of cash on hand and shares in AESE stock with a fair market value of $425,950.
Note 4 – Business Combination, S-FDF
On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC (the "Seller"), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller, dated June 9, 2020, as subsequently amended effective October 1, 2020. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered into certain employment and registration rights agreements. The Company did not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens, or encumbrances pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets, except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Seller transferred the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seller. The number of Seller Shares to be issued was subject to adjustment, as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from the sale of the Company’s holdings of Allied Esports Entertainment Inc. ("AESE") Shares, were less than $5 million or greater than $6 million on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which resulted in the issuance of an additional 500,973 Seller Shares that were issued on January 4, 2021. The combined issuances represented approximately 46% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. was determined to be the acquiror of the business combination.

Pursuant to its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company, (a) created three new seats on the Company’s Board of Directors and appointed the Seller’s principals, Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, and a third person designated by the Goldfarbs, Greg Creed, as directors, (b) entered into employment agreements with Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, (c) delivered a registration rights agreement with respect to the Seller Shares and any shares of common stock delivered as part of the employment compensation for Ira Goldfarb or Claudia Goldfarb, and (d) amended the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved thereunder. At closing, the Company also assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its facility in Irving, Texas under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord.
This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in the recognition of $6,411,327 of goodwill, which is evaluated annually for impairment, unless circumstances change that require an earlier determination. According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

· | Stockholders owning between 25 and 300 shares of Common Stock had their ownership of shares of Common Stock rounded up to one share; and | |
· | Stockholders owning fewer than 25 shares of Common Stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the surrender of such stockholders’ shares and no longer own shares of Common Stock. |
Any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares were based on the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB”) during regular trading hours for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date, which was $0.018 per share prior to the effects of the reverse stock split.
The Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split, which remains unaffected. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock, or the Company’s authorized preferred stock. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share information in this Interim Report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. No shares have been issued to date.
Common Stock
The Company has 500,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value common stock. As of March 31, 2021, a total of 3,939,439 shares of common stock have been issued.
Issuance of Shares in Completion of Acquisition
In connection with the closing of the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and S-FDF, LLC, the Company was obligated to make certain adjustments to the common stock issued to Seller. The adjustment was based primarily on the fair value of AESE shares sold subsequent to the Asset Purchase Agreement. On December 31, 2020, the final number of shares to be issued to S-FDF, LLC was determined to be 500,973 shares and a common stock payable was recognized in the amount of $1,853,600, the fair value of the common stock based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. On January 4, 2021, the 500,973 shares were issued in settlement of the common stock payable.
Common Stock Payable Awarded to Officers
On March 31, 2021, the Company awarded 5,541 and 6,044 shares of common stock to Claudia and Ira Goldfarb, respectively, for services earned during March 31, 2021. The aggregate fair value of the shares was $34,853 and $38,016 for Claudia and Ira, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were subsequently issued on April 6, 2021, in satisfaction of the outstanding common stock payable.

Note 15 – Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.
Losses incurred during the period from April 9, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2021 could be used to offset future tax liabilities. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2021, net deferred tax assets were $5,658,442, with no deferred tax liability, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $5,658,442 was applied to the net deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company has no tax expense for 2021 to date.
In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on, or before March 31, 2021.

Note 16 – Commitments
The Company is involved in various inquiries, administrative proceedings and litigation relating to matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently a defendant in any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that could have a material effect on the Company. Management is not able to estimate the minimum loss to be incurred, if any, as a result of the final outcome of the matters arising in the normal course of business but believes they are not likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations and, accordingly, no provision for loss has been recorded.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The extent of loss, if any, to be sustained as a result of any future failure of a bank or other financial institution is not subject to estimation at this time.
Upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two five-year options to extend, at a monthly lease term of $10,036, with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
The future minimum lease payments due under operating leases as of March 31, 2021 is as follows:
Fiscal Year Ending | Minimum Lease | |||
December 31, | Commitments | |||
2021 (for the nine months remaining) | $ | 91,530 | ||
2022 | 125,287 | |||

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Cautionary Statements
We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.
From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:
· | the effect of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our ability to obtain funding through various financing transactions or arrangements; |
· | volatility or decline of our stock price; |
· | low trading volume and illiquidity of our common stock; |
· | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
· | low trading volume and price of our investment in AESE Shares; |
· | inability to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our financial obligations; |
· | failure to obtain sufficient sales and distributions of our freeze-dried fruit product offerings; |
· | litigation, disputes and legal claims involving outside parties; and |
· | risks related to our ability to be traded on the OTCQB and meeting trading requirements |
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
Overview and Outlook
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”.
25 |
On March 20, 2021, our first freeze drier successfully completed its production testing. In addition, we completed the build-out of our production facility in March, and have finalized products and packaging, while delivering samples to potential B2B customers.
As of May, 2021, we have launched our direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged good (CPG) food brand, under our Sow Good brand. Sow Good launches with its first line of non-GMO products including 6 ready-to-make smoothies and 9 snacks. The smoothie lineup offers a mix of both new and familiar flavors: Açaí of Relief (açaí, blueberry); Mint to Be (banana, coconut, mint); and Berry Apeeling (banana, strawberry). Sow Good packaged snack lineup includes single-ingredient fruits and vegetables such as Mon Cherry (cherries); Cool Beans (edamame); and What’s Apple’n (apples). Smoothies are $7.50 each and packaged snacks are $5.25 per bag. We expect to add additional products in 2021, including soups and to launch our Sustain Us brand and product line.
In addition, we completed the build-out of our production facility in March, and have finalized products and packaging, while delivering samples to potential B2B customers.
Our first freeze drier successfully completed its production testing in March 2021. The company is now producing its own freeze-dried fruits and vegetables from individual quick freeze (IQF) raw materials. Freeze dried food production also continues to be supplemented by our relationships with co-manufacturing partners.
Our unique food products are targeting the large, and growing, freeze-dried food products market. The global freeze-dried food products market is estimated by Technavio to total nearly $60B in 2020, with the United States representing almost 30% of the total. Technavio further projects market growth to continue at over 8% per year through 2024.
With the extensive freeze-dried manufacturing and food product-focused business development experience of our senior management team, we believe we are well positioned to lead the Company's growth and development in the freeze-dried food industry.
Going Concern Uncertainty
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $37,486,215, and had cash and liquid securities on hand of $3,057,253. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company intends to sell its AESE shares to continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance the share price will be sufficient to sustain operations, therefore the Company may be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are also no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
We continue to pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our business. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital. As of May 6th 2021, the Company had $1,862,434 of cash on hand and shares in AESE stock with a fair market value of $425,950.
The report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty.

Revenues
The Company did not earn any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.
General and administrative expenses
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $381,253, compared to $219,724 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $161,529, or 74%. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to increased operations as we developed our freeze-dried food operations.
27 |
Salaries and benefits, stock-based
Salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $375,891, compared to $21,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $354,402, or 1,649%. Stock-based compensation consists of $121,221 and $21,489 of stock options expense incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $254,670 of expense related to shares of common stock issued to officers and directors in the current period for services rendered. Stock-based compensation increased as management accepted stock-based compensation in lieu of cash while the Company developed its freeze-dried food operations.
Professional services
Professional services were $101,899 for the 2021 period, compared to $84,984 for the 2020 period, an increase of $16,915, or 20%. The increase was primarily due to legal fees incurred in connection with our name change in January 2021 and our sale of common stock in February 2021.
Other general and administrative expenses
Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $286,821, compared to $91,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $195,671, or 215%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased administrative infrastructure as we seek to scale the production and sales of our freeze-dried products.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4,996, compared to $271 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $4,725, or 1,744%. The increase is attributable to the addition of new computer equipment in 2020 and 2021.
Other income (expense)
In the three months ended March 31, 2021, other income was $342,983, consisting of a $113,772 gain on early extinguishment of debt and a net gain on investments in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities of $230,723, as offset by $1,512 of interest expense derived from the operating loans the Company received from the PPP and EIDL programs. During the comparative three months ended March 31, 2020, other expense was $2,227,961, consisting of $1,314 of interest expense derived from the business loans the Company received from Cadence Bank, N.A and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and $13,795 of expense related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing, along with a net loss on investments in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. of $2,212,852.
Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $807,877, compared to $2,645,579 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $1,837,702, or 69%. The decreased net loss was due primarily to our gain on investments in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities, compared to our prior period loss on investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our total current assets, liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes our cash flows during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities | 2,525,000 | 265,000 | ||||||
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 633,384 | $ | (56,659 | ) |
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,194,871 and $321,659 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a period over period increase of $873,212. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $315,493 in inventory purchases, as well as, increased costs as we moved our operations from Minnesota to Texas to develop our new freeze-dried food business.
Net cash used in investing activities were $696,745 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash used in investing activities were comprised of $38,208 of fixed asset purchases, along with $658,537 of construction in progress costs during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as we built out our freeze-dried foods warehouse and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,525,000 and $265,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All of the 2021 activity was the result of the $2,525,000 we raised from the sale of an aggregate 631,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.00 per share, compared to $265,000 of net proceeds received from notes payable in the comparative three months ended March 31, 2020.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months
As of March 31, 2021, our balance of cash was $2,546,113 and we had total working capital of $3,061,621. Based on projections of cash expenditures in the Company’s current business plan, the cash on hand as of March 31, 2021 would be insufficient to sustain operations over the next year. We expect to incur significant costs related to the development and operation of our freeze-dried foods business which will put a strain on our cash resources. Should the Company be successful in launching its products, we may pursue the expansion of our production capabilities through the construction of a second freeze drier. Adding a second freeze drier would require approximately $1 million of incremental capital and would likely require the Company to identify additional sources of funding. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on hand and additional financing in the form of equity or debt as needed. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.
Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
