1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ault Alliance” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact. Through its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, the Company owns and operates a data center at which it mines Bitcoin and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence ecosystems and other industries, and provides mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including metaverse platform, oil exploration, crane services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, consumer electronics, hotel operations and textiles. In addition, the Company extends credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through a licensed lending subsidiary.

Ault Alliance was founded by Milton “Todd” Ault, III, its Executive Chairman and is led by Milton “Todd” Ault, III, William B. Horne, its Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman and Henry Nisser, its President and General Counsel. Together, they constitute the Executive Committee, which manages the day-to-day operations of the Company. All major investment and capital allocation decisions are made for the Company by the Executive Committee. The Company has the following nine reportable segments:

· Energy and Infrastructure (“Energy”) – crane operations, advanced textiles processing and oil exploration;

· Technology and Finance (“Fintech”) –commercial lending, activist investing, stock trading, media, and digital learning;

· The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“SMC”) – consumer electronics;

· Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) – cryptocurrency mining operations and colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence ecosystems and other industries;

· Giga-tronics Incorporated (“GIGA”) – defense industry;

· Imperalis Holding Corp., d/b/a TurnOnGreen, Inc. (“TurnOnGreen”) – commercial electronics solutions;

· BitNile Metaverse, Inc. (“BMI”) – immersive metaverse platform;

· Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“AGREE”) – hotel operations and other commercial real estate holdings; and

· Ault Disruptive Technologies Corporation (“Ault Disruptive”) – a special purpose acquisition company.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of one-for-three hundred (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock, preferred stock or their respective par value per share. As a result of the Reverse Split, each three hundred shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Reverse Split were converted into one share of common stock. The Reverse Split became effective in the State of Delaware on May 17, 2023. All share amounts in these financial statements have been updated to reflect the Reverse Split.

2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 19.7 million, negative working capital of $ 70.0 million and a history of net operating losses. The Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Field: Page; Sequence: 12

F- 10

Field: /Page

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

In making this assessment management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow and cash usage forecasts, as well as obligations and debts. Although management has a long history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability as a going concern does not include cash sources beyond the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

Management expects that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and marketable securities as of June 30, 2023, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Management anticipates raising additional capital through the private and public sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities and selling its marketable securities and digital currencies, or a combination thereof. Although management believes that such capital sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not raise sufficient capital in a timely manner, among other things, the Company may be forced to scale back its operations or cease operations altogether.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited 2022 financial statements contained in the above referenced 2022 Annual Report. Results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.

Revenue Recognition – Bitcoin Mining

The Company recognizes revenue from Bitcon Mining under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

· Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer,

· Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract,

· Step 3: Determine the transaction price,

· Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

· Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract with a mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The Company’s customer, as defined in ASC 606-10-20, is with the mining pool operator with whom the Company has agreed to the terms of service and user service agreement. The Company supplies computing power, in exchange for consideration, to the pool operator who in turn provides transaction verification services to third parties via a mining pool that includes other participants.

Field: Page; Sequence: 13

F- 11

Field: /Page

The Company’s enforceable right to compensation begins only when, and lasts as long as, the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator and is created as power is provided over time. The only consideration due to the Company relates to the provision of computing power. The contracts are terminable at any time by and at no cost to the Company, and by the pool operator. Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. Providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators.

The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin. Changes in the fair value of the non-cash consideration due to form of the consideration (changes in the market price of Bitcoin) are not included in the transaction price and therefore, are not included in revenue. The mining pool operator charges fees to cover the costs of maintaining the pool and are deducted from amounts the Company may otherwise earn and are treated as a reduction to the consideration received. Fees fluctuate and historically have been approximately 0.3% per reward earned, on average.

In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by the Company to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other inputs. The Company is entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator. The contract is in effect until terminated by either party.

All consideration pursuant to this arrangement is variable. It is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will occur and the Company is able to calculate the payout based on the contractual formula, non-cash revenue is estimated and recognized based on the spot price of the Company’s principal market for Bitcoin at the inception of each contract, which is determined to be daily. Non-cash consideration is measured at fair value at contract inception. Fair value of the crypto asset consideration is determined using the spot price of the Company’s principal market for Bitcoin at the beginning of the contract period. This amount is estimated and recognized in revenue upon inception, which is when hash rate is provided.

There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining business, such as equipment depreciation and electricity costs, are recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

Preferred Stock Liabilities

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” in its evaluation of the accounting for the Preferred Shares (as defined in Note 16). ASC 480-10-25-14 requires liability accounting for certain financial instruments, including shares that embody an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, provided that the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on one of the following three characteristics:

· A fixed monetary amount known at inception;

· Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or

· Variations in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, but the monetary value to the counterparty moves in the opposite direction as the value of the issuer’s shares.

The number of shares delivered is determined on the basis of (1) the fixed monetary amount determined as the stated value and (2) the current stock price at settlement, so that the aggregate fair value of the shares delivered equals the monetary value of the obligation, which is fixed or predominantly fixed. Accordingly, the holder is not significantly exposed to gains and losses attributable to changes in the fair value of the Company’s equity shares. Instead, the Company is using its own equity shares as currency to settle a monetary obligation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”) to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. REVENUE DISAGGREGATION

The following tables summarize disaggregated customer contract revenues and the source of the revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Revenues from lending and trading activities included in consolidated revenues were primarily interest, dividend and other investment income, which are not considered to be revenues from contracts with customers under GAAP.

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities and liquidity risks.

The following table summarizes the changes in investments in other equity securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Impairment of AVLP Intangible Assets

Due to indicators of impairment, AVLP intangible assets were tested for impairment as of June 30, 2023. Based on internally developed forecasts of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it was determined that the carrying amount of the assets were not recoverable and, based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets, impairment of $17.0 million was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The tradenames and patents/developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates of 18% for patents and developed technology and 0.25% for trademarks. The resulting net annual royalty payments are then discounted to present value using a discount factor of 25.7%.

10. GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Effect of exchange rate changes ( 191,000 )
Balance as of June 30, 2023 $ 9,158,000

Impairment of AVLP Goodwill

The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its carried value. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023 related to AVLP as there were indicators of impairment related to certain unforeseen business developments and changes in financial projections.

The valuation of the AVLP reporting unit was determined using a market and income approach methodology of valuation.

The income approach was based on the projected cash flows discounted to their present value using discount rates, that in the Company’s judgment, consider the timing and risk of the forecasted cash flows using internally developed forecasts and assumptions. Under the income approach, the discount rate used is the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics. The analysis included assumptions regarding AVLP’s revenue forecast and discount rates of 26.7 % using a weighted average cost of capital analysis. The market approach utilized the guideline public company method.

The results of the quantitative test indicated the fair value of the AVLP reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amounts, including goodwill, in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill. As a result, the entire $ 18.6 million carrying amount of AVLP’s goodwill was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

16. PREFERRED STOCK LIABILITY

March 28, 2023 Security Purchase Agreement

On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company sold, in a private placement (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 100,000 shares of its preferred stock, with each such share having a stated value of $ 100.00 and consisting of (i) 83,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 16,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by the Company.

The purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock was paid for by the Investors’ canceling outstanding secured promissory notes in the principal amount of $8.4 million, whereas the purchase price of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock consisted primarily of accrued but unpaid interest on these notes. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.1 million related to the transaction. The Preferred Shares have been classified as a liability as they embody an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. The Company elected the fair value option to record the Preferred Shares with changes in fair value recorded through earnings.

In June 2023, the Investors converted 1,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 1,792 shares of Series G Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 37,493 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $ 91,000 on the conversions of Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock.

Total 97,208 $ 9,721,000 $ 8,263,000
  • Each Preferred Share is convertible into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the stated value per share divided by the conversion price, which is equal to 85% of the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day prior to the date of conversion, subject to a floor price of $0.10, which floor price is not affected by the recently consummated reverse split.

BMI Senior Secured Convertible Notes

On April 27, 2023, BMI sold $ 6.9 million of principal face amount senior secured convertible notes with an original issue discount to sophisticated investors for net proceeds to BMI of $ 5.5 million. The notes mature on April 27, 2024 and are secured by all of the assets of BMI and certain of its subsidiaries. There is no stated interest rate on the convertible note unless there is an event of default. The notes are convertible into shares of BMI common stock at $ 3.28 ; however there are provision in the convertible note that enables the holders of the notes to receive a lower conversion rate upon future common stock issuances by BMI that fall below the $3.28 price.

As BMI does not have sufficient authorized shares to fulfill the conversion option, the conversion option meets the criteria of a derivative instrument, and the convertible note has been discounted $ 4.1 million for the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and $ 1.4 million for the fair value of the embedded conversion option derivative liability at inception. The fair value of the warrant derivative liability is updated quarterly and is recorded within financial instrument liabilities, a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the fair value of the embedded conversion option derivative liability is updated quarterly and is recorded within convertible notes. In addition, BMI has recorded $1.4 million in original issue discount, which is being amortized over the interest method for the term of the BMI senior secured convertible notes. Amortization of discount related to the senior secured convertible notes was $ 0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

Litigation Matters

The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.

Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.

With respect to the Company’s other outstanding matters, based on the Company’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had accrued $ 5.3 million as a loss contingency related to litigation matters.

SEC Investigation

The Company and certain affiliates and related parties received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony in the non-public fact-finding investigation referred to as In re DPW Holdings, Inc. The Company and those parties have reached a settlement with the SEC to fully resolve the SEC’s previously disclosed investigation into certain of the Company’s public disclosures and its accounting for certain transactions, among other matters.

Field: /Page

Under terms of the settlement, announced on August 15, 2023, the Company, Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, and Chief Executive Officer William B. Horne neither admit nor deny the SEC’s findings, which do not entail intentional misconduct. The Company will pay a civil penalty of $0.7 million that was fully accrued in the fourth quarter of 2022; Mr. Ault will pay disgorgement of $85,504 and a civil penalty of $150,000; and Mr. Horne will pay a civil penalty of $20,720.

The Agreement contains customary termination provisions for Ault & Company under certain circumstances, and the Agreement shall automatically terminate if the closing has not occurred prior to May 31, 2023, although such date may be extended by Ault & Company for a period of 90 days as set forth in the Agreement.

Proceeds from Subsidiaries’ Sale of Stock to Non-Controlling Interests

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, SMC and BMI sold an aggregate of $ 2.3 million of common stock pursuant to their respective at-the-market issuance sales agreements.

22. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 3.0 % and 0.8 % for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.2 % and 0.4 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded income tax provision of $ 1.4 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $ 1.1 million and $ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the ETR and federal statutory rate of 21 % is primarily attributable to items recorded for GAAP but permanently disallowed for U.S. federal income tax purposes and changes in valuation allowance.

23. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities, which are convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock, consisted of the following at June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Schedule of anti-dilutive securities
June 30,
2023 2022
Stock options 19,000 21,000
Restricted stock grants - 7,000
Warrants 52,000 67,000

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In this quarterly report, the “Company,” “AAI,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation. AAI is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact. Through our wholly and majority owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, we own and operate a data center at which we mine Bitcoin and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence ecosystems and other industries, and provides mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including metaverse platform, oil exploration, crane services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, consumer electronics, hotel operations and textiles. In addition, we own and operate hotels and extend credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through a licensed lending subsidiary.

Recent Events and Developments

On January 23, 2023, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to our Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) which, effective upon filing, eliminated the Series C Preferred Stock.

On February 8, 2023, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BMI and the other signatories thereto. The Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, BMI will acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of our then subsidiary, BitNile.com, Inc. (“BitNile.com”), of which we owned approximately 86%, and the remaining 14% was owned by minority shareholders (the “Minority Shareholders”), as well as Ault Iconic, (formerly Ault Media Group) and the securities of Earnity beneficially owned by BitNile.com (which represented approximately 19.9% of the outstanding equity securities of Earnity as of the date of the Agreement), in exchange for the following: (i) 8,637.5 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of BMI to be issued to our company (the “Series B Preferred”), and (ii) 1,362.5 shares of newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of BMI to be issued to the to the Minority Shareholders (the “Series C Preferred,” and together with the Series B Preferred, the “Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred each have a stated value of $10,000 per share (the “Stated Value”), for a combined stated value of the Preferred Stock to be issued by BMI of $100 million, and subject to adjustment, are convertible into an aggregate of 400 million shares of common stock of BMI (the “BMI Common Stock”), which represent and pursuant to the Agreement will represent approximately 92.4% of BMI’s outstanding BMI Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the date of the Agreement. However, pending approval of the transaction by BMI’s shareholders and the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Preferred Stock is subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership limitation, including the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that we acquired from BMI in June of 2022. The Agreement provides that BMI will seek shareholder approval (the “Shareholder Approval”) following the closing.

Pursuant to the Certificates of Designations of the Rights, Preferences and Limitations of the Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Certificates”), each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number of shares of BMI Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by $0.25 (the “Conversion Price”), or 40,000 shares of BMI Common Stock. The Conversion Price will be subject to certain adjustments, including potential downward adjustment if BMI closes a qualified financing resulting in at least $25 million in gross proceeds at a price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price then in effect. The holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 5% of the Stated Value per annum from issuance until February 7, 2033 (the “Dividend Term”). During the first two years of the Dividend Term, dividends will be payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock rather than cash, and thereafter dividends will be payable in either additional shares of Preferred Stock or cash as each holder may elect. If BMI fails to make a dividend payment as required by the Preferred Stock Certificates, the dividend rate will be increased to 12% for as long as such default remains ongoing and uncured. Each share of Preferred Stock will also have an $11,000 liquidation preference in the event of a liquidation, change of control event, dissolution or winding up of BMI, and will rank senior to all other capital stock of BMI with respect thereto, except that the Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred shall rank pari passu. Each share of Series B Preferred was originally entitled to vote with the BMI Common Stock at a rate of 10 votes per share of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred is convertible, but that provision was subsequently eliminated. Other than certain rights granted to the Company relating to amendments or waiver of various negative covenants, the terms, rights, preferences and limitations of the Preferred Stock Certificates are essentially identical. The Agreement closed on March 6, 2023.

On March 28, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our preferred stock, with each such share having a stated value of $100.00 and consisting of (i) 83,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 16,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares will be convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by us.

Field: Page; Sequence: 36; Options: NewSection; Value: 1

Field: /Page

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock had a purchase price of $100.00, equal to each such share’s stated value. The purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock was paid for by the Investors’ canceling outstanding secured promissory notes in the principal amount of $8.4 million, whereas the purchase price of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock consisted of accrued but unpaid interest on these notes, as well as for other good and valuable consideration. Each Preferred Share is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the date of conversion, subject to a floor price of $0.10. The Preferred Shares are convertible at the option of the holder at any time following our receipt of stockholder approval of the Reverse Split (as defined below). The private placement closed on March 30, 2023.

On April 6, 2023, we issued a term note with a principal amount of $1.1 million, bearing an interest rate of 12% (the “Term Note”). The Term Note was issued at a discount, with net proceeds to us amounting to $1.0 million. The Term Note was scheduled to mature on June 5, 2023. We exercised the option to extend the maturity date by one month, by paying a $30,000 extension fee. Ault & Company guaranteed repayment of the Term Note.

On May 1, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series C Agreement”) with Ault & Company, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Ault & Company up to 40,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase up to 1.3 million shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $40 million. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Series C Agreement are subject to various customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain third party consents. In addition to customary closing conditions, the closing of the transaction is also conditioned upon the receipt by Ault & Company of financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the transaction, in whole or in part. The Series C Agreement contains customary termination provisions for Ault & Company under certain circumstances, and the Series C Agreement shall automatically terminate if the closing has not occurred prior to May 31, 2023, although such date may be extended by Ault & Company for a period of 90 days as set forth in the Series C Agreement.

Our stockholders approved, at a special meeting of our stockholders called for such purpose, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our certificate of incorporation to authorize a reverse split of our common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Investors agreed in the Purchase Agreement to not transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Preferred Shares until after the Reverse Split. Pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series E Preferred Stock, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock have the right to vote on such Amendment on an as converted to common stock basis. In addition, pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series F Preferred Stock, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock have the right to vote on such Amendment. Each Investor has separately agreed to vote the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock in favor of the Amendment and that the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall automatically be voted in a manner that “mirrors” the proportions on which the shares of our common stock and Series E Preferred Stock are voted on the Amendment. The Amendment requires the approval of the majority of the votes associated with our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote on the proposal. Because the Series F Preferred Stock will automatically and without further action of the purchaser be voted in a manner that “mirrors” the proportions on which the shares of common stock and Series E Preferred Stock are voted on the Reverse Split, abstentions by common stockholders will not have any effect on the votes cast by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. The Series G Preferred Stock does not carry any voting rights, except as required by law or expressly provided by its certificate of designation.

On June 8, 2023, we entered into a loan agreement with Ault & Company as lender. The loan agreement provides for an unsecured, non-revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million. All loans under the loan agreement are due within five business days after request by Ault & Company and Ault & Company is not obligated to make any further advances under the loan agreement after December 8, 2023. Advances under the loan agreement bear interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum and may be repaid at any time without penalty or premium. As of the date of this report, $4.7 million has been advanced under the loan agreement and not repaid.

On June 9, 2023, we entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent (“Ascendiant Capital”) to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000 (the “Shares”) from time to time, through an “at the market offering” (the “2023 Common ATM Offering”). On July 12, 2023, we and Ascendiant Capital entered into an amendment to the At-The-Market issuance sales agreement to increase the size of the 2023 Common ATM Offering from $10.0 million to $20.0 million. Through August 14, 2023, we have sold an aggregate of 3.8 million shares of common stock pursuant to the 2023 Common ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $16.1 million.

On June 26, 2023, we established a record date for our initial distribution of TurnOnGreen securities. Stockholders as of this date were entitled to 40 shares of TurnOnGreen common stock, along with warrants to purchase 40 shares of TurnOnGreen common stock (the “TurnOnGreen Securities”) for every share of our common stock they held on the record date. The initial distribution was finalized in July 2023.

On July 24, 2023, we established a record date for our second partial distribution of TurnOnGreen Securities. Stockholders as of this date were entitled to 40 shares of TurnOnGreen Securities for every share of the Company’s common stock they held on the record date. The second distribution was finalized on August 7, 2023, whereby we relinquished control of voting interests of TurnOnGreen. We distributed 56.4 million TurnOnGreen Securities in the second distribution.

On July 19, 2023 we along with certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment and Joinder to Loan and Guarantee Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the institutional investors pursuant to which the (i) Loan and Guarantee Agreement, dated November 7, 2022, entered into between us and the institutional investors (the “Loan Agreement”) and (ii) Security Agreement, dated November 7, 2022, entered into between the institutional investors and Sentinum (the “Security Agreement”) was amended. Pursuant to the Amendment, we borrowed an additional $8.8 million. The net proceeds of the additional loan amount were $7.5 million.

Effective August 3, 2023, we and the Investors entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investors exchanged all of their Preferred Shares as well as their demand notes (the “Demand Notes”) issued to the Investors by us on or about May 20, 2023, with each Demand Note having a principal outstanding amount of approximately $0.8 million for two new 10% Secured OID Promissory Notes (the “Exchange Notes”), each with a principal face amount of $5.3 million, for an aggregate of amount owed of $10.5 million (the “Principal Amount”). We and Milton “Todd” Ault, III, our Executive Chairman, entered into guaranty agreements with the Investors guaranteeing repayment by Ault & Company, Inc., a related party (“Ault & Company”) of the Exchange Notes.

Effective as of August 3, 2023, we assigned the Exchange Notes to Ault & Company. As consideration for Ault & Company assuming the Exchange Notes from us, we issued a 10% demand promissory note in the principal face amount of $10.5 million (the “First A&C Demand Note”) to Ault & Company.

Effective as of August 10, 2023, we assigned the Term Note to Ault & Company. As consideration for Ault & Company assuming the Term Note from us, we issued a 12% demand promissory note in the principal face amount of $1.1 million (the “Second Demand Note”) to Ault & Company.

General

As a holding company, our business objective is designed to increase stockholder value. Under the strategy we have adopted, we are focused on managing and financially supporting our existing subsidiaries and partner companies, with the goal of pursuing monetization opportunities and maximizing the value returned to stockholders. We have, are and will consider initiatives including, among others: public offerings, the sale of individual partner companies, the sale of certain or all partner company interests in secondary market transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize stockholder value. We anticipate returning value to stockholders after satisfying our debt obligations and working capital needs.

From time to time, we engage in discussions with other companies interested in our subsidiaries or partner companies, either in response to inquiries or as part of a process we initiate. To the extent we believe that a subsidiary or partner company’s further growth and development can best be supported by a different ownership structure or if we otherwise believe it is in our stockholders’ best interests, we will seek to sell some or all of our position in the subsidiary or partner company. These sales may take the form of privately negotiated sales of stock or assets, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings of the subsidiary or partner company’s securities and, in the case of publicly traded partner companies, sales of their securities in the open market. Our plans may include taking subsidiaries or partner companies public through rights offerings and directed share subscription programs. We will continue to consider these (or similar) initiatives and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in secondary market transactions to maximize value for our stockholders.

In recent years, we have provided capital and relevant expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in metaverse platform, oil exploration, crane services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, consumer electronics, hotel operations and textiles. We have provided capital to subsidiaries as well as partner companies in which we have an equity interest or may be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support.

GIGA

The $2.2 million increase in our GIGA segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included $0.7 million attributable to our acquisition of Giga-tronics Incorporated on September 8, 2022. Continued conflicts and tensions worldwide are driving defense-related investments in force protection technologies at GIGA across the United States, UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Additionally, demand for key electronics solutions, particularly for customers in medicine and telecommunications, accelerated in the three months ended June 30, 2023, as businesses rebound in the post-pandemic COVID-19 economy.

TurnOnGreen

TurnOnGreen revenues were down $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to a large project in 2022 that was cancelled.

SMC

SMC revenues increased by $2.6 million due to the acquisition of SMC in June 2022.

Sentinum

Revenues from Sentinum’s cryptocurrency mining operations increased $4.4 million as we increased our cryptocurrency mining activities from the prior period, partially offset by lower Bitcoin prices and an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty level in the current year period.

AGREE

AGREE’s revenues decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to interruptions in business operations as the properties were being renovated through the end of April 2023.

Fintech

Revenues from our lending and trading activities were $9.5 million due to significant realized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from our investment portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Ault Lending generated income from appreciation of investments in marketable securities as well as shares of common stock underlying equity securities issued to Ault Lending in certain financing transactions. Revenue from lending and trading activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included an approximate $0.9 million unrealized gain from our investment in Alzamend. Under its business model, Ault Lending also generates revenue through origination fees charged to borrowers and interest generated from each loan.

Revenues from our trading activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included net gains on equity securities, including unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in our periodic earnings.

Energy

Energy revenues increased by $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to the acquisition of the Circle 8 crane operations in December 2022.

Gross Margins

Gross margins increased to 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Our gross margins of 38% recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023 benefited from favorable margins from our lending and trading activities and were impacted by negative margins from our Sentinum cryptocurrency mining segment due to the decline in the price of Bitcoin coupled with an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty level. Excluding the effects of margin from our lending and trading activities and cryptocurrency mining operations, our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 would have been 33% and 36%, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to expenditures related to development work on the BMI metaverse platform.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.6 million, or 37%. The increase was the result of $3.6 million higher advertising and promotion costs related to BMI’s metaverse platform, partially offset by a $1.4 million decline in employee related costs and consulting expenses. The increase is also attributable to $0.4 million increases in sales and marketing costs from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022 and $0.2 million from GIGA, which was acquired in September 2022.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.3 million, or 12%. General and administrative expenses increased from the comparative prior period, mainly due to increases from new acquisitions:

· general and administrative costs of $3.4 million from Circle 8, which was acquired in December 2022;

· general and administrative costs of $3.0 million from BMI, which was acquired in March 2023;

· general and administrative costs of $2.9 million from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022;

· general and administrative costs of $2.3 million from GIGA, which was acquired in September 2022; and

· general and administrative costs of $0.6 million from AVLP, which was acquired in June 2022.

· $1.0 million lower corporate bonuses;

· $0.8 million lower general and administrative expenses at AGREE;

· $0.7 million lower corporate consulting fees;

Impairment of AVLP Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

We test the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its carried value. We performed a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023 related to AVLP as there were indicators of impairment related to certain unforeseen business developments and changes in financial projections.

The valuation of the AVLP reporting unit was determined using a market and income approach methodology of valuation.

The income approach was based on the projected cash flows discounted to their present value using discount rates, that in the Company’s judgment, consider the timing and risk of the forecasted cash flows using internally developed forecasts and assumptions. Under the income approach, the discount rate used is the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics. The analysis included assumptions regarding AVLP’s revenue forecast and discount rates of 26.7% using a weighted average cost of capital analysis. The market approach utilized the guideline public company method.

The results of the quantitative test indicated the fair value of the AVLP reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amounts, including goodwill, in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill. As a result, the entire $18.6 million carrying amount of AVLP’s goodwill was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Intangible Assets

Due to indicators of impairment, AVLP intangible assets were tested for impairment as of June 30, 2023. Based on internally developed forecasts of undiscounted expected future cash flows, it was determined that the carrying amount of the assets were not recoverable and, based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets, impairment of $17.0 million was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The tradenames and patents/developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates of 18% for patents and developed technology and 0.25% for trademarks. The resulting net annual royalty payments are then discounted to present value using a discount factor of 25.7%.

Impairment of Mined Cryptocurrency

Impairment of mined cryptocurrency for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Impairment losses are attributable to the volatility of the Bitcoin market as market price of Bitcoin drops below our carrying value within the respective periods. The impairment of mined cryptocurrency for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is lower than the comparable prior year period as the average amount of digital currency held decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as we generally sold our mined digital currency the next business day.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to higher interest rates resulting in higher income from ADRT’s cash and marketable securities held in the trust account.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $15.9 million interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included amortization of debt discount of $7.2 million, forbearance and extension fees of $6.2 million and contractual interest of $2.5 million. The $2.0 million interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included amortization of debt discount of $32,000 and contractual interest of $2.0 million.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Loss from investment in unconsolidated entity was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing our share of losses from our equity method investment in AVLP prior to the June 1, 2022 acquisition.

Net cash used in investing activities was $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $87.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which included $72.8 million of capital expenditures, primarily for Bitcoin mining equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily related to capital expenditures and the purchase of equity securities, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $4.5 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Variable Interest Entities

The accounting guidance requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”); to eliminate the solely quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a VIE when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide readers of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE.

For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of a VIE.

The Company evaluates its business relationships with related parties to identify potential VIEs under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. Entities are considered to be the primary beneficiary if they have both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control of an entity involves the consideration of various factors including the form of its ownership interest, its representation in the entity’s governance, the size of its investment, estimates of future cash flows, its ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace the Company as manager and/or liquidate the joint venture, if applicable.

Business Combination

We allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired customer relations, technology, trade names and know how are recognized at fair value. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We include the results of operations of the business that we have acquired in our consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon our evaluation, each of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because the Company has not yet completed its remediation of the material weakness previously identified and disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the end of its most recent fiscal year.

Management has identified the following material weaknesses:

  1. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting department, which restricts our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting, including applying complex accounting principles relating to consolidation accounting, fair value estimates and analysis of financial instruments for proper classification in the consolidated financial statements, in a timely manner;

  2. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties during our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness;

  3. Our primary user access controls (i.e., provisioning, de-provisioning, privileged access and user access reviews) to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented effectively. We did not design and/or implement sufficient controls for program change management to certain financially relevant systems affecting our processes; and

  4. The Company did not design and/or implement user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties or program change management controls for certain financially relevant systems impacting the Company’s processes around revenue recognition and digital assets to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s (i) financial IT applications, (ii) digital currency mining equipment, and (iii) underlying accounting records, are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) were complete and accurate. Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency. In addition, the Company has not effectively designed a manual key control to detect material misstatements in revenue.

Planned Remediation

Management continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses, specifically relating to user access and change management surrounding our IT systems and applications. Management will continue to implement measures to remediate material weaknesses, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) enhancing design and documentation related to both user access and change management processes and control activities; and (ii) developing and communicating additional policies and procedures to govern the area of IT change management. In order to achieve the timely implementation of the above, management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an ongoing basis:

· Engaging a third-party specialist to assist management with improving the Company’s overall control environment, focusing on change management and access controls;

· Implementing new applications and systems that are aligned with management’s focus on creating strong internal controls; and

· Continuing to increase headcount across the Company, with a particular focus on hiring individuals with strong Sarbanes Oxley and internal control backgrounds.

We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

Except as detailed above, during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation Matters

The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. We are regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.

Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the reasonably possible loss. We evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.

With respect to our other outstanding matters, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

SEC Investigation

The Company and certain affiliates and related parties received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony in the non-public fact-finding investigation referred to as In re DPW Holdings, Inc. The Company and those parties have reached a settlement with the SEC to fully resolve the SEC’s previously disclosed investigation into certain of the Company’s public disclosures and its accounting for certain transactions, among other matters.

Under terms of the settlement, announced on August 15, 2023, the Company, Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, and Chief Executive Officer William B. Horne neither admit nor deny the SEC’s findings, which do not entail intentional misconduct. The Company will pay a civil penalty of $0.7 million that was fully accrued in the fourth quarter of 2022; Mr. Ault will pay disgorgement of $85,504 and a civil penalty of $150,000; and Mr. Horne will pay a civil penalty of $20,720. In addition, the Company has undertaken to retain an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and to issue a report providing recommendations for improvements.
