ITEM 1. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this semi-annual report and our annual report filed on Form 1-K on April 30, 2026. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

The unaudited financial information set forth below with respect to the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 is preliminary and subject to potential adjustments. Adjustments to these consolidated financial statements may be identified when review of historic consolidated financial statements has been completed in conjunction with our year-end audit, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information, although in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to make restated interim results of operations not misleading have been included here. Unless otherwise indicated, latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2026.

General

PROVEN Group, Inc. (the "Company," "Proven," "we," "our," and "us") was formed on May 15, 2017 under the laws of the state of Delaware, and is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Company was formed to develop and sell customized skincare products and fragrance products under the brand names of Proven Skincare and Noteworthy Scents.

Our principal place of business is 7901 4th St N, STE 4916, St. Petersburg, Florida 33702. This address is a virtual office. Our management will be located at various locations across the country, as our management team works virtually. Our corporate records are located at our virtual office. Our website address is www.provenskincare.com.

The Company's skincare products are formulated with insights from the Company's proprietary skin knowledge database, named the Skin Health Index. This database encompasses scientific papers on skin and consumer reviews, and a large number of beauty products and ingredients.

The Company's skincare products are tailored to a customer's specific needs, which we ascertain via a comprehensive consumer questionnaire which we call the Skincare Quiz on our website. Once a customer completes this questionnaire, which takes under three minutes to complete, we are able to analyze the needs of the customer and provide them with a well-matched set of skincare products produced by the Company.

The Company's fragrance products use a proprietary fragrance matching algorithm that was built using real data from tens of thousands of real people to help consumers find their signature scent. Once a customer completes the questionnaire, we are able to match them with a set of well-matched fragrance products.

Once a customer purchases the products, the Company ships the appropriate products directly to a customer's address.

Results of Operations

The following represents our performance highlights:

Revenues

We generate revenues from direct-to-consumer, Amazon and Macy's marketplace sales of skincare and fragrance products. Revenues decreased by $5,685,373 from $12,673,181 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 to $6,987,808 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, or by 44.9%. The decrease in revenue was due primarily to decreases in the acquisition of new customers for both brands as well as a decrease in repeat orders for PROVEN.

Cost of Net Revenues

Cost of net revenues consists of the costs of inventory sold, packaging materials costs, inbound freight, outbound freight, and customs and duties. In situations where promotional products are provided by the Company to its customers at the same time as the related saleable product, the cost of these promotional products is recognized as a cost of revenue.

The cost of net revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 was $1,728,487, resulting in gross profit of $5,259,321 (a gross margin of 75.3%) compared to cost of net revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 of $3,057,909and gross profits of $9,615,272 (a gross margin of 75.9%). The change in gross margin was mostly flat, due to continued improvement in unit costs associated with both brands, bringing down our overall cost of goods sold.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses. The company recorded total operating expenses of $12,878,814 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and $17,518,377 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. Such expenses were composed of:

●

general and administrative expenses of $6,183,734 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and $9,457,114for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025;

●

sales and marketing expenses of $4,241,521 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and $5,798,315 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025; and

●

research and development expenses of $2,453,559 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and $2,262,948 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

The decrease in our total operating expenses resulted primarily from a planned decrease in advertiser spending and other marketing expenses, a decrease in personnel expense as well as a decrease in software and hosting expenses. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, $4,520,261 in stock-based compensation was classified in general and administrative expenses, $1,091,525 was classified in research and development expenses and $1,763,181 was classified in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, $4,033,032 in stock-based compensation was classified in general and administrative expenses, $2,001,556 was classified in research and development expenses and $1,092,662 was classified in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other Expense

Other expense consists of interest expense. The company recorded total other expense of $23,447 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and $50,205 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. Such expenses were composed entirely of interest expenses.

Interest expense decreased because the company did not incur any new debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2026. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Indebtedness."

Net Operating Loss and Net Loss

Accordingly, the company's net operating loss was $7,619,493 and $7,903,105 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The company's net loss was $7,642,940 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, and $7,953,310 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the company had approximately $2,824,497 in cash and cash equivalents on hand. We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balances, along with positive cash flow from operations, will be adequate to meet our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. If these sources are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through private placements of equity or debt, to fund our plan of operations.

Indebtedness

On March 28, 2024, the company converted its liability due to the co-founders, representing proceeds from the Regulation A offering, into loan payables, separate to each co-founder. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total of both liabilities, less allocated offering costs and expenses, is $708,518. Interest will accrue at a rate of 4.13% per annum. Principal and the balance of interest accrued will be due in full on March 29, 2027 or upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice of demand by the respective lender.

Total interest expense incurred for all loans during the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $23,395 and $50,205, respectively.

Issuances of Equity

On August 6, 2021, the company commenced an offering pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Regulation A Offering"), qualifying the offer and sale of up to $60,000,000 of units consisting of .7 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the company and .3 share of Common Stock from selling shareholders at a price of $6.60 per unit. As of August 6, 2024, the Regulation A Offering was closed.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company issued 30,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $7,800.

Future Equity Obligations

There have been no issuances of future equity obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

If there is a preferred equity financing before the instrument expires or is terminated, the company will automatically issue to the investors a number of shares of either a) a number of shares of Standard Preferred Stock equal to the purchase amount divided by the cash price per share of the Standard Preferred Stock, if the pre-money valuation applicable to the new investors is less than or equal to the valuation cap; or b) a number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the purchase amount divided by the Safe Price. The Safe Price is defined as the valuation cap divided by the number of dilutive shares outstanding.

Trend Information

Our primary goal is to add customers through our direct-to-consumer sales channel, online marketplace channels as well as strengthening our artificial intelligence and technology capabilities. In the future, we intend to expand our product line and move more into omnichannel and selling our products in retail locations. As we add customers, we will be able to grow our brands. Increasing demand, along with additional media coverage in the United States, has driven and continues to drive an increase in sales for the Company's products. There are also several underlying trends that drive the growth of the sector.

With respect to growth in the skincare industry as a whole, in 2019, when the Company first launched, the global skincare market was estimated to be $140 billion in size. By 2035, it's estimated to grow to $340.25 billion in size, a compound annual growth rate of 6.04%. The global fragrance market was estimated to be $58.89 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% to $89.41 billion in 2033.

There has been a consistent trend toward more online and direct-to-consumer sales across retail industries. E-commerce in beauty has expanded massively over the last decade, and its digital share now exceeds 25 percent, with significant runway still ahead. This compares with a 2025 e-commerce share of approximately 35 to 40 percent in apparel and footwear, and roughly 45 to 50 percent in toys and games.

Consumers have been increasingly demanding personalized products:

●

71% of consumers now expect companies to deliver personalized interactions, and 76% express frustration when shopping experiences are impersonal, according to recent 2026 retail reporting.

●

Broad industry consensus confirms that 77% of consumers have chosen, recommended, or paid more for a brand that provides the option to personalize.

●

The Company is poised to continue to take advantage of these industry trends and execute growth in the US skincare market with our world-class executive, technology, and operations teams.

Persistent inflation and polarized consumer sentiment during 2026 have created an environment where shoppers are actively reducing their basket sizes to offset higher prices. This softening of discretionary spending means consumers may be less willing to purchase dispensable products, counteracting some of the other growth trends noted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

PROVEN Group, Inc. (the "company") is a corporation formed on May 15, 2017 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The company consists of Proven Skincare ("Proven") and Noteworthy Holdings, Inc. ("Noteworthy"). Proven sells customized skincare products through its website and online platform to individual customers directly. Noteworthy offers personalized fragrance products through its website and online platform directly to customers. The company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception and sustained net losses of $7,642,940 and $7,953,310 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the next 12 months, the Company intends to fund its operations through its operational activities, current capital on hand, as well as other financing that may be available to us. We, therefore, believe that any substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The company's fiscal year is December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, inventory, revenue recognition, the valuations of common stock, and future equity obligations. The company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

PROVEN Group, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

●

Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2-Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3-Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques.

The carrying values of the company's accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The company's future equity obligations are carried at fair value, determined based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy described above (see Notes 6 and 8).

Inventory

Inventories consist of components, finished goods, and products in transit from the company's suppliers. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, including inbound freight and duties. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the specific identification method. If the company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the company, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, inventory included approximately $0 and $10,432 in transit, respectively.

Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The company allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The company uses a variety of information sources to determine the value of acquired assets and liabilities, including: identifiable intangibles and inventories; and legal counsel or other experts to assess the obligations associated with legal, environmental or other claims.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized but are instead evaluated annually for impairment as part of the company's annual financial review, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual test for impairment performed for goodwill can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the goodwill including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date.

The company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trademarks, for impairment on an annual basis. Similar to goodwill, the impairment test can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the brand names including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date.

Revenue Recognition

The company determines revenue recognition through the following steps in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606):

●

Identification of a contract with a customer;

●

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Determination of the transaction price;

●

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the company's customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.

The company derives its revenue solely from e-commerce transactions, which is considered a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, which is the point in time when control is transferred.

The company deducts discounts, sales tax, and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax collected from clients is not considered revenue and is included in accrued expenses until remitted to the taxing authorities. All shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs in sales and marketing expense and are therefore not evaluated as a separate performance obligation.

Contract Liability

Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer and thus represent the company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The company's contract liabilities are included as deferred revenue on the balance sheets and consist of (i) payments received in advance of product delivery to the customer and (ii) the promise of future products to be delivered to existing customers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total contract liabilities were $305,604 and $236,023, respectively. The company expects deferred revenue for all contract liabilities to be recognized within one year.

Cost of Net Revenues

Cost of revenue consists of the costs of inventory sold, packaging materials costs, inbound freight, and customs and duties. In situations where promotional products are provided by the company to its customers at the same time as the related saleable product, the cost of these promotional products is recognized as a cost of revenue.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include fulfillment center operations, third-party logistics costs, and payment processing fees, as well as marketing and advertising costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General, and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits costs, professional services, and information technology.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expenses and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $1,072,955 and $3,321,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to the development of the company's products and future offerings are included in research and development expenses and are expensed as incurred.

Future Equity Obligations

The company accounts for its Simple Agreements for Future Equity ("SAFEs") as derivative liabilities under the FASB's ASC section 815-10 and ASC section 815-40.

Deferred Offering Costs

The company complies with the requirements of ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

Stock-Based Compensation

The company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The company issues stock-based awards with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the company records the expense if and when the company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

The company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient's payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient's service payments are classified.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the company's stock options has been determined utilizing the "simplified" method for awards that qualify as "plain-vanilla" options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The company recognizes forfeitures as they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management's best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Income Taxes

The company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2026				2025
		(unaudited)
Series A-2 Preferred Stock (convertible to common stock)			3,231,280				3,231,280
Series A Preferred Stock (convertible to common stock)			446,143				446,493
Series Seed Preferred Stock (convertible to common stock)			17,582,397				17,582,397
Preferred and common stock warrants			114,478				114,478
Stock options			18,678,350				19,679,899
Total potentially dilutive shares			40,052,648				41,054,547

As of June 30, 2026, there was an indeterminable number of shares that were potentially dilutive based on the company's outstanding future equity obligations (see Note 8).

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

4. RELATED PARTIES

On March 28, 2024, the company converted its liability due to the co-founders, representing proceeds from the Regulation A offering, into loan payables, separate to each co-founder. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total of both liabilities, less allocated offering costs and expenses, is $708,518. Interest will accrue at a rate of 4.13% per annum. Principal and the balance of interest accrued will be due in full on March 29, 2027 or upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice of demand by the respective lender.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The company's financial assets and liabilities are subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used for such measurements were as follows:

		Future Equity
		Obligations
Balance, December 31, 2025		$	500,010
Issuance of future equity obligations for proceeds			-
Payment for, and cancellation of, future equity obligations			-
Balance, June 30, 2026 (unaudited)		$	500,010

The company measures the future equity obligations at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes it to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the future equity obligations uses assumptions and estimates the company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The company assesses these assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. Changes in the fair value of the future equity obligations related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the statements of operations.

The future equity obligations may change significantly as additional data is obtained, impacting the company's assumptions regarding probabilities of outcomes used to estimate the fair value of the liability. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in the current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the company's results of operations in future periods.

The company utilized a probability-weighted average approach based on the estimated market value of the underlying securities and the potential settlement outcomes of the future equity obligations, including a liquidity event or future equity financing. Both the market value of the underlying securities and the probability of the settlement outcomes include unobservable Level 3 inputs.
