NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

(Unaudited)

Amounts in thousands, except for share and per-share data

NOTE 1. - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – 22nd Century Group, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “22nd Century Group” or the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation publicly traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “XXII.” 22nd Century Group is a tobacco products company with sales and distribution of the Company’s own branded tobacco products and contract manufacturing services for third-party brands. The Company’s flagship product is a reduced nicotine combustible cigarette authorized by the FDA as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results or trends that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared using U.S. GAAP, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, certain components of equity, sales, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to incur additional losses until such time that it can generate significant revenue and profit in its tobacco business. The Company had negative cash flow from operations of $2,976 and $2,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $398,199 and $393,871 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,133.

Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing cash and cash equivalents, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year following the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

In response to these conditions, management is currently evaluating different strategies for reducing expenses, as well as pursuing financing strategies which include raising additional funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities, asset sales, and through arrangements with strategic partners. If capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, it could be required to liquidate inventory, cease or curtail operations, or seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws or similar state proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the capital it needs to continue operations. Management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year following the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Table of Contents

Other Significant Risks and Uncertainties - The Company is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the lack of available capital; future covenant non-compliance with respect to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility giving rise to an event of default; unsuccessful commercialization strategy and launch plans for the Company’s products or market acceptance of the Company’s products; risks inherent in litigation, including purported class actions; and protection of proprietary technology.

Reverse Stock Split – In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, the Company effected the following reverse stock splits:


		Round up of
Date	Split	fractional shares
April 2, 2024	1-for-16	876
December 17, 2024	1-for-135	126,818

All share and per share amounts, and exercise prices of stock options, and warrants in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock splits.

Warrants - The Company accounts for stock warrants as either equity instruments, derivative liabilities, or liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Warrants that the Company may be required to redeem through payment of cash or other assets outside its control are classified as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480 and are initially and subsequently measured at their estimated fair values. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of Capital in excess of par value at the time of issuance. For additional discussion on warrants, see Note 5 and Note 10.

Deemed dividends associated with down round provisions (commonly referred to as “ratchets”) represent the economic transfer of value to holders of equity-classified freestanding financial instruments when these provisions are triggered. These deemed dividends are presented as a reduction in net income or an increase in net loss available to common stockholders and a corresponding increase to Capital in excess of par value resulting in no change to stockholders’ equity/deficit. See Note 10 “Capital Raises and Warrants for Common Stock.”

Debt Issued with Detachable Warrants - The Company considers guidance within ASC 470-20, Debt (ASC 470), ASC 480, and ASC 815 when accounting for the issuance of debt with detachable warrants. As described above under the caption “Warrants”, the Company classifies stock warrants as either equity instruments, derivative liabilities, or liabilities depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. In circumstances in which debt is issued with detachable warrants, the proceeds from the issuance of the debt are first allocated to the warrants at their full estimated fair value with a corresponding debt discount. The remaining proceeds, as further reduced by discounts (including those created by the bifurcation of embedded derivatives), is allocated to the debt. The Company accounts for debt as liabilities measured at amortized cost and amortizes the resulting debt discount from the allocation of proceeds, to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the debt instrument pursuant to ASC 835, Interest (ASC 835).

Table of Contents

Embedded Derivatives – The Company considers whether there are any embedded features in debt instruments that require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815. Embedded derivatives are initially and subsequently measured at fair value. With the exception of the embedded conversion option as described in Note 6 “Debt”, the embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility and Subordinated Note are not material.

The Company accounts for its convertible debt instrument, for which the conversion option is not bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative and is modified or exchanged in a transaction that is not accounted for as an extinguishment, the accounting is determined based on whether there is an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded conversion option. The fair value is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and after the modification or exchange. An increase in fair value is recorded as a decrease to the carrying amount of the debt instrument with a corresponding increase to Capital in Excess of Par Value.

Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts - Debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the issuance of debt by the Company are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs and discounts related to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility and Subordinated Note are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the related debt and are amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the period from the date of issuance to the maturity date, whichever is earlier. The amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts are included in Debt related charges included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Note 6 “Debt” contains additional information on the Company’s debt issuance costs and discounts.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews all long-lived assets to be held and used for recoverability, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the assets from the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest expense) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value is recorded. The Company determined that there were no impairment indicators for continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Gain and Loss Contingencies – The Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. When a loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability with respect to such loss contingency and record a corresponding amount of related expenses. The Company will then continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of any such accrued liability.

In accordance with ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies, gain contingencies are recognized when earned and realized, which typically will occur at the time of final settlement or when cash is received. Insurance recoveries may be realized earlier than cash receipt if a claim and amount of reimbursement is acknowledged by the insurance company that payment is due and collection is probable.

The Company maintains general liability insurance policies for its property and facilities. Under the terms of our insurance policies, in the case of loss to a property, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 610-30, Other Income —Gains and Losses on Involuntary Conversions, for the conversion of nonmonetary assets (the properties) to monetary assets (insurance recoveries). Under ASC 610-30, once the recovery is deemed probable the Company recognizes an asset for the insurance recovery receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with corresponding income that is offsetting to the casualty losses recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. If the insurance recovery is less than the amount of the casualty charges recognized, the Company will recognize a loss whereas if the insurance recovery is greater than the amount of casualty loss recognized, the Company will only recognize a recovery up to the amount of the casualty loss and will account for the excess as a gain contingency. Business interruption insurance is treated as a gain contingency.

Refer to further discussion of all commitments and contingencies in Note 12.

Table of Contents

Related Party Transaction - A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company may conduct business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company generated revenue from a related party contract manufacturing customer. During the three month period ended March 31, 2025, private label cigarette revenue, net and corresponding contract asset from the related party were not material.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to a customer. For additional discussion on revenue recognition, refer to Note 8 “Revenue Recognition”.

Income Taxes - For interim income tax reporting, due to a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, no income tax expense or benefit is recorded unless it is related to certain state, local, or franchise taxes, or an unusual or infrequently occurring items. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements –

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures regarding segment expenses and other items on an interim and annual basis. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2024. See Note 13 “Segment and Geographic Information.”

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to allow readers of the consolidated financial statements to assess how the Company’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The ASU did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Elected or Adopted

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. If the ASU is not listed above, it was determined that the ASU was either not applicable or would have an immaterial impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurement standards apply to certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (each reporting period). The Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents information about our liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


	Fair Value

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities
Omnia 2024 warrants	$	—	$	—	$	1,185	$	1,185

Warrants

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company’s common stock warrants accounted for as liabilities (Level 3):


Fair value measurement at January 1, 2025	$	1,023
Fair value measurement adjustment		162
Fair value measurement at March 31, 2025	$	1,185

The Omnia warrants were measured at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:


	March 31,			December 31,
	2025			2024
Risk-free interest rate per year		3.9	%		4.3	%
Expected volatility per year		124.2	%		119.0	%
Expected dividend yield		—	%		—	%
Contractual expiration		4.1	years		4.3	years
Exercise price	$	288.90		$	288.90
Stock price	$	1.44		$	5.31

The warrants are measured at fair value using certain estimated factors which are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs that are used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrants include the volatility factor, anti-dilution provisions, and contingent put option. Significant increases or decreases in the volatility factor would have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Additionally, a change in probability regarding the anti-dilution provision or put option would have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The Omnia 2023 warrants were extinguished and the Omnia 2024 warrants were issued in April 2024. The Omnia 2024 warrants are classified as Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

NOTE 6. DEBT

The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which consists of Debentures (as defined below) and previously, a subordinated promissory note (the “Subordinated Note). The Debentures were issued at a 5% original issuance discount and are subject to a 5% exit payment. The Subordinated Note was extinguished in April 2024, as described below.

Debt related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consists of the following:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024

Total debt	$	3,929	$	6,665
Current portion of long-term debt		(3,929)		(1,500)
Total long-term debt	$	—	$	5,165

Debentures

On March 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with each of the purchasers party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and JGB Collateral, LLC, as collateral agent for the Purchasers (the “Agent”) which pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold 5% original issuance discount senior secured debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $21,053. The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, payable monthly in arrears as of the last trading day of each month and on the maturity date. The Debentures mature on March 3, 2026. At the Company’s election, subject to certain conditions, interest can be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. The Debentures are subject to an exit payment equal to 5% of the original principal amount, or $1,053, payable on the maturity date or the date the Debentures are paid in full (the “Exit Payment”). The Company may at any time irrevocably elect to redeem all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures for cash in an amount equal to the entire outstanding principal balance, including accrued and unpaid interest, the Exit Payment and a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 3% of the outstanding principal balance as of the prepayment date (collectively, the “Prepayment Amount”). Upon the entry into a definitive agreement that would effect a change in control (as defined in the Debentures) of the Company, the Agent may require the Company to prepay the outstanding principal balance in an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount. At its option, the holder of a Debenture may require the Company to redeem 2% of the original principal amount of the Debentures per calendar month which amount may at the Company’s election, subject to certain exceptions, be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof.

The Company’s obligations under the Debentures can be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. In the event of a default and acceleration of the Company’s obligations, the Company would be required to pay the Prepayment Amount, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration.

The Debentures contain customary representations, warranties and covenants including among other things and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict the Company from incurring additional indebtedness, creating or permitting liens on assets, making or holding any investments, repaying outstanding indebtedness, paying dividends or distributions and entering into transactions with affiliates. Substantially all of the company’s assets, including intellectual property, are collateralized and at risk if Debenture obligation is not satisfied. In addition, the Company was required to maintain at least $7,500 on its balance sheet as restricted cash in a separate account and has financial covenants to maintain certain quarterly revenue targets.

In connection with the sale of the Debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 155 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $41,310 per share (the “JGB Warrants”), which had an initial fair value of $4,475 net of issuance costs of $139. On June 22, 2023, as a result of the June 19, 2023 offering, the Company’s outstanding JGB warrants to purchase up to 155 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $41,310 per share were automatically adjusted to be $27,708.48 exercise price for up to 231 shares of common stock. There are no further anti-dilution adjustments on such warrants.

Table of Contents

On October 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment Agreement (the “October Amendment”) with each of the subsidiaries of the Company executing the Debentures, the Holders and the Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Holders waived an event of default under Section 7(d) of the Debentures which required the Company to achieve revenue of at least $18,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “waiver”), (b) the parties agreed to amend Schedule E of the Debentures to reduce the Revenue Target (as such term is defined in the Debentures), for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, to $15,500, and (c) the Company agreed to release to the Purchasers the $7,500 that the Company was required to maintain in a separate account (the “Escrow Funds”) which Escrow Funds were applied to, and reduce, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

As additional consideration for the waiver, the Company agreed to assign, transfer and convey to the Agent, the Company’s entire right, title and interest in and to (i) the Promissory Note made by J&N Real Estate Company, L.L.C. (“J&N”) payable to the Company in the principal amount of $3,800 and (ii) the Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated June 30, 2021, between J&N, as borrower, for the benefit of the Company, as lender (collectively, the “Pledged Indebtedness”). Upon assignment of the Pledged Indebtedness, the Company recognized the $2,600 of consideration in exchange to be applied as a $2,000 reduction of the Put Price (as defined below), $600 reduction of the outstanding principal amount of Debentures and $895 loss on sale of financial asset.

In connection with the waiver, the Company and Holders agreed to exercise the outstanding put provision to redeem 78 warrants for an aggregate put price equal to $2,500 (the “Put Price”), which was concurrently reduced by $2,000, as described above, with the remaining $500 payable by the Company on the Maturity Date recorded as Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. No cash was exchanged as a result of executing the October 2023 Amendment.

Subsequently, on December 22, 2023, the Company, the Holders and the Agent entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “December 2023 Amendment”) pursuant to which the Holders and the Agent consented to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the GVB Amendment (see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations and Divestitures”). In consideration of the Holders and the Agents’ consent, the Company agreed to (i) pay to the Agent, a cash payment of $2,200 to reduce the outstanding principal of the Debentures (which includes the cash portion of the New Purchase Price paid directly to Agent by Buyer which consists of a cash payment of $1,100 and an additional $1,100 paid by the Company), (ii) a 12% secured promissory note issued to the Company’s senior lender, on behalf of and at the direction of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 (the “GVB Promissory Note”), (iii) assign the GVB Insurance Proceeds to the Agent until the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, has been repaid in full; provided that the first $1,000 of Insurance Proceeds in excess of $5,000 shall be applied as stated in the agreement, and (iv) post-closing enter into a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement with respect to 224 acres of real property in Delta County, Colorado commonly known as Needle Rock Farms, resulting in a non-monetary exchange yielding additional debt reduction of $1,000. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events.”

Effective June 24, 2024, GVB Biopharma (“GVB”), the Company’s former subsidiary, made a scheduled principal and interest payment against the Company’s outstanding indebtedness to JGB, reducing the Company’s total outstanding principal indebtedness with JGB by $1,500. The remaining $500 payable by GVB under the GVB Promissory Note was initially extended to December 31, 2024 and subsequently to March 31, 2025. The GVB Promissory Note is in default with respect to payment at maturity of the contractual term and accordingly an allowance for credit loss was recorded as of March 31, 2025 in the amount of $500.

As part of the December amendment, the Company, the Holders and the Agent also agreed to amend the Debentures to (i) allow the Holders to voluntarily convert the Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Voluntary Conversion Option”) on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2024 and (ii) the public announcement of a Fundamental Transaction at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) $2,025.00 per share (reverse split adjusted) and (y) the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on June 29, 2024 (the “Conversion Price”), and (ii) include a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding principal of the Debentures in an amount equal to 20% of the net cash proceeds of any issuance by the Company of any of its stock, or other Equity Interests (as defined in the Debentures) or the incurrence or issuance of any indebtedness.

Additional terms of the December 2023 Amendment include a financial covenant holiday through the third quarter of 2024 and revised certain covenants thereafter to reflect the sale of the Purchased Interests, including lowering the Company’s quarterly revenue targets. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

Table of Contents

On April 8, 2024, the Company, the Holders and the Agent entered into that certain Letter Agreement to modify the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the JGB SPA and the Debentures, as amended (“April 2024 Amendment”).

Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Holders are permitted to convert their debt to common stock at anytime and the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) at which the Holders may convert the principal amount of their Debentures to the Company’s common stock is reduced to $288.90 per share in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules through the conversion option reset date on June 28, 2024. The principal amount of the Debentures converted shall be applied to the Monthly Allowance (as defined in the Debentures) for that month, and any excess shall be applied to the Monthly Allowances for the succeeding months. The conversions will be a dollar for dollar reduction of the remaining outstanding obligation owed to the Holders. The Agent and Holders have also agreed to daily limits on trading volume and minimum conversion amounts. The Holders converted $428 of debt in exchange for 1,482 shares of common stock during the quarter-ended June 30, 2024.

On May 10, 2024, the Company, the Holders and the Agent entered into that certain May 2024 Exchange Agreement and May 2024 Letter Agreement to modify the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Debentures, as amended (“May 2024 Amendment”).

Under the terms of the May 2024 Amendment, the Company and Holders have agreed the Company shall incur an aggregate amendment charge to the undersigned holders equal to $275, which shall be added to the principal balance of the Debentures. Under the terms of the May 2024 Exchange Agreement, the Company and Holders exchanged an aggregate of $2,328 in principal, fees and expenses owed under the Debentures for 2,926 shares of common stock and 6,630 immediately exercisable pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.00001 (at an effective per share price of $228.15). All pre-funded warrants were subsequently exercised during the quarter-ended June 30, 2024.

On August 27, 2024, the Company, the Holders and the Agent entered into that certain August 2024 Letter Agreement to modify the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the JGB SPA, and the Debentures, as amended (“August 2024 Amendment”).

Under the terms of the August 2024 Agreement, each Holder agreed that it shall not exercise its Holder Redemption Right (as defined in the Debentures) for more than 50% of its Monthly Allowance (as defined in the Debentures) through and including July 2025. Further, the provisions in Section 3(c)(i) of the Debentures requiring 20% of any equity issuances to be paid to the Holders shall be suspended through December 31, 2024. In consideration for the amendments set forth in the August 2024 Amendment, the Company paid an amendment fee of $746, which was added to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures. JGB subsequently issued a conversion notice for 3,260 shares of common stock equal to principal reduction of $328.

On October 10, 2024, the Company, the Holders and the Agent entered into that certain October 2024 Letter Agreement to modify the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the JGB SPA, and the Debentures, as amended (“October 2024 Amendment”).

Under the terms of the October 2024 Amendment, the Company will be able to reset the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debentures) currently in effect, at the discretion of the Board of Directors and on a one time basis, to an amount equal to the average of the daily VWAPs for each of the five (5) consecutive Nasdaq trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Conversion Price shall be reset. The reset Conversion Price shall in no event be greater than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the Letter Agreement, which is $100.638.

On January 13, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the reset of the Conversion Price to $6.04 per share. The change in conversion price resulted in an increase in fair value to the embedded conversion option, resulting in an increase in debt discount of $283 and a corresponding increase in capital in excess of par value. The Holders exercised conversion notices in the amount of $3,132 in January 2025 and the Company issued 518,600 shares of common stock.

In accordance with ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors and ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, the Company performed an assessment of whether the transaction was deemed to be a troubled debt restructuring, and if no, whether the transaction was deemed modification of existing debt, or an extinguishment of existing debt and new debt.

Table of Contents

The October 2023 Amendment, April 2024 Amendment, May 2024 Amendment, and August 2024 Amendment were concluded to be a modification, and not an extinguishment, based on an analysis of the present value of future cash flows. A new effective interest rate was determined, and the debt continued to be amortized. The December 2023 Amendment was concluded to be an extinguishment, due to the addition of a substantive conversion option.

The Company analyzed the conversion feature of the December 2023 Amendment for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a bifurcated derivative because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate. The Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability at fair value in the amount of $557 as of March 31, 2024, respectively as a component of Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequently, during the year-ended December 31, 2024, the derivative liability related to the debentures and embedded conversion option was reclassified from Other Long-Term Liabilities to Capital in Excess of Par, based on the Company’s reassessment of the classification and conclusion the derivative met the ‘fixed for fixed’ criteria in ASC 815.

Subordinated Note

On March 3, 2023, the Company executed a Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Subordinated Note”) with a principal amount of $2,865 in favor of Omnia Ventures, LP (“Omnia”).

In connection with the Subordinated Note, the Company issued to Omnia, warrants to purchase up to 2,813 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Omnia Warrants”). The 2023 Omnia Warrants were exercisable for seven years from September 3, 2023, at an exercise price of $205.248 per share, subject, with certain exceptions, to adjustments in the event of stock splits, dividends, subsequent dilutive offerings and certain fundamental transactions.

On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into a General Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Omnia Agreement”) with Omnia Capital LP (“Omnia”). The Omnia Agreement settles and extinguishes all outstanding debt and interest owed to Omnia under the outstanding Subordinated Note and the put provision contained in the 2023 Omnia Warrants, amounting to a total of approximately $5,228, for (i) a cash payment of $249; (ii) 8,519 shares of common stock and 8,519 immediately exercisable pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 that are exercisable until May 1, 2029 (at an effective per share price of $2.14) and (iii) 460,000 immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.14 until May 1, 2029 (the “2024 Omnia Warrants”). The 2024 Omnia Warrants contain a put provision that permits the holder to require the Company to redeem the 2024 Omnia Warrants, no earlier than May 1, 2025, for a purchase price equal to $2.675 per warrant, and had an initial fair value of $1,515 (see Note 5). Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of pre-funded warrants and 2024 Omnia Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. As part of the Omnia Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate and cancel the Old Note and the 2023 Omnia Warrants and released all debts, claims or other obligations against each other occurring prior to the date of the Omnia Agreement. The total cash and non-cash consideration amounted to $5,628, resulting in extinguishment charges of $400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, recorded in Interest expense in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

NOTE 8. – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from contract manufacturing organization (“CMO”) customer contracts that consist of obligations to manufacture the customers’ branded filtered cigars and cigarettes. Additional revenues are generated from sale of the Company’s proprietary low nicotine content cigarettes, sold under the brand name VLN^®, or research cigarettes sold under the brand name SPECTRUM^®.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to a customer. For certain CMO contracts, the performance obligation is satisfied over time as the Company determines, due to contract restrictions, it does not have an alternative use of the product and it has an enforceable right to payment as the product is manufactured. The Company recognizes revenue under those contracts at the unit price stated in the contract based on the units to customers and is recognized net of cash discounts, sales returns and allowances. There was no allowance for discounts or returns at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Consideration payable to the customer is recorded net of the transaction price with a corresponding contract liability.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s net revenue is derived from customers located primarily in the United States and is disaggregated by the timing of revenue. Revenue recognized from Tobacco products transferred to customers over time represented substantially all net revenue and 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.

The following table presents net revenue by product line:

Litigation - The Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which the Company currently believes to be immaterial, will not become material in the future. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. When a loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability with respect to such loss contingency and record a corresponding amount of related expenses. The Company will then continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of any such accrued liability.

For the first quarter 2025, total product line revenue, net decreased to $5,956, compared to $6,469 in the prior year period and includes the following product line revenue, net highlights:

●

Cigarette sales volume benefitted from new customer contracts with our largest CMO customer effective January 1, 2025, including the initial impact of accounting for revenue accruals recorded as over-time revenue recognition.

●

Filtered cigars net revenues decreased to $1,103 from $3,626 in the prior comparable period, reflecting lower volumes as the Company implemented its plans to reprice customer contracts. New contracts were executed in the first quarter of 2025 and additional volume is expected to resume in the remainder of 2025.

●

Cigarillo distribution net revenues for the first quarter were negligible, and reflect the time necessary for initial stocking orders in 2024 to be sold through our distributors before additional reorders are fulfilled in the second half of 2025.

●

VLN® cigarette net revenues reflect return accruals for product previously shipped, as initial shipments begin to schedule for the rebranded product to be launched in the second quarter of 2025.

(a)

Other income (expense), net increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same prior year period, due to a loss resulting from change in fair value of warrant liabilities that did not occur in the prior year period.

(b)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period, interest expense primarily decreased as a result of ongoing repayment and elimination of debt obligations on our balance sheet. Cash interest decreased $101 and non-cash interest amortization increased $601 recognized from the Senior Secured Credit Facility (of these totals, interest that was allocated to discontinued operations increased by $137), additional decreases of $82 as a result of change in fair value of conversion option derivative liability and other interest charges of $10. Additionally, interest expense decreased $729 from the Subordinated Note, which was extinguished prior to maturity in April 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect to incur additional losses until such time that we can generate significant revenue and profit in our tobacco business. We had negative cash flow from operations of $2,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and an accumulated deficit of $398,199 as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,133 and working capital deficit from continuing operations of ($5,201) (compared to working capital from continuing operations of $1,790 at December 31, 2024). Given our projected operating requirements and existing cash and cash equivalents, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through one year following the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein are issued.

In response to these conditions, management is currently evaluating different strategies for reducing expenses, as well as pursuing financing strategies which include raising additional funds through the issuance of securities, asset sales, and through arrangements with strategic partners. If capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, it could be required to liquidate inventory or assets, cease or curtail operations, seek to negotiate new business deals with our business partners or seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws or similar state proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the capital it needs to continue operations. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue in operations. Management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year following the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

Table of Contents

Our cash, and cash equivalents and working capital from continuing operations as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are set forth below:


	March 31		December 31
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,133	$	4,422
Working capital	$	(5,201)	$	1,790

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we received net proceeds of $5,112 from the inducement and exercise of 6,889,497 existing warrants for shares of common stock and issuance of 6,889,497 warrants to purchase common stock. Of the aggregate net proceeds, we were obligated under the Debentures of the convertible senior secured credit facility to repay outstanding debt in the amount of $1,017. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events.”

Working Capital

As of March 31, 2025, we had working capital deficit from continuing operations, excluding assets and liabilities held for sale, of approximately ($5,201) compared to working capital of approximately $1,790 at December 31, 2024 a decrease of $6,991. This decrease in working capital was primarily due to an increase in net current liabilities of $6,857 reflecting the reclassification of the convertible senior secured credit facility and the 2024 Omnia warrant liability to current, as the maturity date is within twelve months of the balance sheet date, offset by an increase of $134 in net current assets. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,289 and the remaining net current assets increased by $3,655. As a result of the working capital balance, management has taken a number of steps to improve liquidity. Refer below to “Cash demands on operations.”

Summary of Cash Flows


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2025		2024		$
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(2,976)	$	(2,255)	(721)

Financing activities		(254)		1,699	(1,953)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3,289)	$	(541)

Net cash used in operating activities

Cash used in operating activities increased $721 from $2,255 in 2024 to $2,976 in 2025. The primary driver for this change was lower net loss of $1,411, an increase of $41 related to net adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash, and an increase in cash used for working capital components related to operations in the amount of $2,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Cash used in investing activities amounted to $59 the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $15 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities of $74 was primarily the result of a decrease of $22 of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and an increase of cash outflows of $52 related to the acquisitions of patents, trademarks, licenses and property, plant and equipment.

Table of Contents

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities decreased by $1,953 from $1,699 in the prior year period, to cash used of $254, resulting from decreases in net proceeds from warrant exercise of $2,245 offset by decreases in cash outflows of note payable payments of $291 and taxes paid related to net share settlement of RSUs of $1.

Cash demands on operations

We have financed our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and sale of debt instruments with various institutions, accredited investors, high net worth individuals and creditors.

In April 2025, we received net proceeds of $5,112 from the inducement and exercise of 6,889,497 existing warrants for shares of common stock and issuance of 6,889,497 warrants to purchase common stock. An additional tranche of 4,232,191 existing warrants for shares of common stock are exercisable under the same terms, under the conditions as described in the warrant inducement agreement, for additional net proceeds of up $3,103. In connection with the warrant inducement transaction, the Company amended the October 2024 PIPE warrants. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events”.

As of March 31, 2025, the remaining principal balance under our Senior Secured Credit Facility is $4,558, of which an additional $1,017 was repaid in April 2025. The Debentures under the Senior Secured Credit Facility allow the Holders to voluntarily convert the Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock and the conversion option price in effect is $6.04. During the first quarter of 2025, the Holders converted $3,132 of principal balance in exchange for 518,600 shares of common stock.

Additionally, at its option, JGB may require the Company to redeem 2% of the original principal amount of the Debentures, as amended to be no more than 50% or $210 per calendar month through July 2025 and $421 per calendar month thereafter which amount may at the Company’s election, subject to certain exceptions, be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. JGB did not elect the monthly redemption feature during the three month period ended March 31, 2025. If the redemption feature is elected, as of March 31, 2025, contractual maturities under the senior secured credit Facility for the remainder of 2025 are $2,948, and for 2026 are $1,610.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

There have been no material changes to the information set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by SEC rules, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

	2025		2024
Sales, general, and administrative	$	24	$	140
Research and development		2		41
Total equity based compensation	$	26	$	181

Restricted Stock Units – We typically grant RSUs to employees and non-employee directors. The following table summarizes the changes in unvested RSUs from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025.


	Unvested RSUs

Granted	159,583		2.01
Unvested at March 31, 2025	159,583	$	2.01

As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense for RSUs amounted to $314 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years.


				Weighted
		Weighted		Average
		Average		Remaining		Aggregate

Exercisable at March 31, 2025	—	$	—	—	years	$	—

The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the current market value or the market value upon exercise of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option.

As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense for stock options amounted to $820 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years.

The weighted average of fair value assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for such grants were as follows:


	2025
Grant date fair value	$1.75
Risk-free interest rate ⁽¹⁾	4.07	%
Expected dividend yield ⁽²⁾	—	%
Expected volatility ⁽³⁾	114.32	%
Expected term of stock options ⁽⁴⁾	6.44	years

⁽¹⁾The risk-free interest rate is based on the period matching the expected term of the stock options based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date.
⁽²⁾The expected dividend yield is assumed as zero. The Company has never paid cash dividends nor does it anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
⁽³⁾The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock.
⁽⁴⁾The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding based on vesting date and contractual term.
