Cautionary "Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain "forward-looking"statements that are based on the Company's current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-lookingstatements include all statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this presentation, including information or predictions concerning the Company's future financial performance, plans and objectives, competitive position, market trends, succession planning, product pipeline, and potential growth and market opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward-lookingstatements by words such as "intends," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "believes," "should," "could," "may," "will", "seeks" or the

negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Key factors that could cause actual results to be different than expected or anticipated include, but are not limited to: the Company's limited operating history and ability to become profitable; the Company's reliance on third parties for raw materials and production of some of the Company's products, including liquid creamer products; the Company's ability to manage its growth and scale its manufacturing and processing capabilities and requirements effectively; the Company's future capital needs; the Company's ability to retain and grow its customer base; the Company's reliance on independent distributors for a substantial portion of its sales; the Company's ability to evaluate and measure its business, prospects and performance metrics; the Company's ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; the health of the premium organic and natural food industry as a whole; risks related to the Company's intellectual property rights and developing a strong brand; the Company's reliance on Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece and other key employees, including key employees without long tenure with the Company; regulatory risks; risks related to the Company's international operations; the risk of substantial dilution from future issuances of equity securities of the Company; and other factors discussed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form S-1, and subsequent Quarterly Report(s) on Form 10-Q, and Annual Report(s) on Form 10-K.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are inherently unreliable and speak only as of the date of this presentation. The Company cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. The Company undertakes no obligation, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect the Company's beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this presentation, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that the Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

Third-PartyInformation: This presentation also contains estimates, projections and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about the Company's industry and its business. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such data.
