Company Expects Strong Improvement in both Revenue and Operating Cash Flow in the Back Half of 2021 Compared to the First Half of 2021

LOS ANGELES, June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Barfresh”) (OTCQB: BRFH), a manufacturer of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, today announced that it has completed a private placement of approximately $6 million of common stock at $0.36 per share with no warrant coverage. In addition, the Company has negotiated the conversion of approximately $0.7 million and the retirement of approximately $0.8 million of existing debt and interest. This eliminates all prior convertible debt and related interest. After these transactions, the company now has approximately $7 million of cash and no debt except for a $0.56 million Paycheck Protection Program loan that is expected to be forgiven.

The Company’s first Paycheck Protection Program “PPP” loan of $0.56 million has been forgiven. The Company was granted a second PPP loan in January 2021 for $0.56 million and also expects this loan to be forgiven in Q3 2021. The Company expects to be debt free when the second PPP loan is forgiven.

Riccardo Delle Coste, the Company’s CEO stated, “This financing dramatically improves our liquidity and will provide the appropriate capital for profitable expansion in our many and growing channels throughout 2021 and beyond as well as satisfying the shareholder equity criteria for uplisting to a national exchange. We are very well positioned to continue the penetration in the public schools throughout the United States and expect to enter the new school year in approximately double the number of locations the company is currently serving.”

Mr. Delle Coste continued, “Our new Twist & Go product combined with our bulk and single serve products has us well positioned to achieve much stronger top and bottom line improvement in the backhalf of 2021 compared to the first half. In addition, we have dramatically improved our expenses and expanded our customer base positioning us to capture a larger share of the market. I believe this is a strong vote of confidence from several of our significant long-term existing stockholders leading this offering.”
