Additional Disclosures from the Audited Financial Statements

As disclosed in Note 2 to the audited financial statements, recurring operating losses, accumulated and working-capital deficits, and certain notes payable at or past their stated maturity dates as of December 31, 2024 give rise to substantial doubt about PickleJar’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements were issued. Management’s plans to address these conditions include obtaining additional financing and extending, restructuring, or converting existing obligations. Investors are encouraged to review the audited financial statements in their entirety, including disclosures regarding the Company’s revolving credit facility, related-party transactions, and subsequent events.

In connection with the audit, PickleJar is implementing a remediation plan to address material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. The plan includes expanding financial reporting resources through additional personnel and qualified external specialists, formalizing policies and procedures, strengthening journal-entry review and approval, enhancing monitoring activities, and improving information technology general controls. The material weaknesses, which relate to the design and operation of a control environment commensurate with SEC-registrant requirements, are described in the audited financial statements. Remediation is expected to occur over multiple reporting periods.
