Federal Legislation

On November 12, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 5371, the "Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026" (the "Act"), which makes continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and which also bans intoxicating hemp-derived consumable products nationally on November 12, 2026. It is unknown to the Company whether or not the sections of the Act that impact the hemp industry will ultimately go into effect on November 12, 2026, or if those sections will be replaced, impacted or amended by subsequent acts of Congress. However, the Act in all likelihood will have a devastating impact on the Company and the price of its common stock. The material adverse effects of the Act cannot be overstated; these material adverse effects include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
  1  )  The elimination of half or more of Lifted's sales. 
         Sales of hemp-derived products made up approximately 
         47% of Lifted's sales during the three months ended 
         September 30, 2025; thus, the Act could eliminate 
         approximately half or more of the Company's revenue; 
  2  )  Goodwill impairment charges. As a result of LFTD Partners' 
         acquisition of Lifted, LFTD Partners recognized goodwill 
         of $22,292,767 ("Lifted Goodwill"). As a result of 
         Lifted's purchase of assets of hemp-derived products 
         maker Oculus CRS, LLC, and merger with Oculus CHS 
         Management Corp., LFTD Partners recognized goodwill 
         of $800,027 ("Oculus Goodwill"). Total goodwill reported 
         at September 30, 2025 is $23,092,794. The Act will 
         necessitate the calculation and recording of an impairment 
         charge over the Lifted Goodwill and Oculus Goodwill. 
         The impairment charge could be half or more of the 
         Lifted Goodwill and Oculus Goodwill; 
  3  )  An investment impairment charge. The Act will necessitate 
         the calculation and recording of an impairment of 
         LFTD Partners' investment in hemp-derived beverage 
         and products maker Ablis. LFTD Partners' investment 
         in Ablis was reported as $399,200 as of September 
         30, 2025. The impairment charge could be half or more 
         of LFTD Partners' investment in Ablis; and 
  4  )  Significant inventory write offs. The Act will most 
         likely negatively impact the pricing of hemp-derived 
         products, the availability and price of raw goods 
         and production forecasting, which will lead to increased 
         write-offs each quarter end. Moreover, any hemp-derived 
         products in inventory on November 12, 2026 will have 
         to be written off.
