NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 1847 Holdings LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2023. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and determined that the adoption of pronouncements applicable to the Company has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3—LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ASSESSMENT
Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,297,927. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $77,833 (before deducting losses attributable to non-controlling interests), cash flows used in operations of $1,851,766, and working capital deficit of $1,235,919. The Company has generated operating losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand, sales of securities, external bank lines of credit, and issuance of third-party and related party debt to support cashflow from operations, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management plans to address the above as needed by, securing additional bank lines of credit and obtaining additional financing through debt or equity transactions. Management has implemented tight cost controls to conserve cash.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and to eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

NOTE 9—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
ICU Eyewear
On December 21, 2022, the Company’s newly formed wholly owned subsidiaries 1847 ICU Holdings Inc. (“1847 ICU”) and 1847 ICU Acquisition Sub Inc. entered into an agreement and plan of merger with ICU Eyewear Holdings, Inc. (“ICU Eyewear”) and San Francisco Equity Partners, as the stockholder representative, which was amended on February 9, 2023.
On February 9, 2023, closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger was completed. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, 1847 ICU Acquisition Sub Inc. merged with and into ICU Eyewear, with ICU Eyewear surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of 1847 ICU. The merger consideration paid by 1847 ICU to the stockholders of ICU Eyewear consists of (i) $4,000,000 in cash, minus any unpaid debt of ICU Eyewear and certain transaction expenses, and (ii) 6% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.
The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable assets acquired, or if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.
The preliminary fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the ICU Eyewear stockholders was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired was $7,139,861. The preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $2,639,861. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ICU Eyewear contributed revenue of $2,792,712 and net income of $2,581,437, which are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Warrants
On January 3, 2023, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 407,872 common shares as a dividend to common shareholders of record as of December 23, 2022 pursuant to a warrant agent agreement, dated January 3, 2023, with VStock Transfer, LLC. Each holder of common shares received a warrant to purchase one (1) common share for every ten (10) common shares owned as of the record date (with the number of shares underlying the warrant received rounded down to the nearest whole number). Each warrant represents the right to purchase common shares at an initial exercise price of $4.20 per share (subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrants). The Company may, at its option, voluntarily reduce the then-current exercise price to such amount and for such period or periods of time which may be through the expiration date as may be deemed appropriate by the board of directors. Cashless exercises of the warrants are not permitted.
The warrants will generally be exercisable in whole or in part beginning on the later of (i) January 3, 2024 or (ii) the date that a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the issuance and registration of the common shares underlying the warrants has been filed with and declared effective by the SEC, and thereafter until January 3, 2026.
The Company may redeem the warrants at any time in whole or in part at $0.001 per warrant (subject to equitable adjustment to reflect share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations and like occurrences) upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the registered holders of the warrants.
As a result of the issuance of warrants as a dividend to common shareholders, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of approximately $0.6 million, which was calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
On February 3, 2023 (as described in Note 10), the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued to such investors (i) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $604,000 and (ii) five-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 125,833 common shares at an exercise price of $4.20 per share (subject to adjustment) for total cash proceeds of $540,000.

The fair value of the warrants was $222,129 and the fair value of the commitment shares was $242,858, resulting in the amount allocated to the warrants and commitment shares, based on their relative fair value of $218,172, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Overview
We are an acquisition holding company focused on acquiring and managing a group of small businesses, which we characterize as those that have an enterprise value of less than $50 million, in a variety of different industries headquartered in North America.
On May 28, 2020, our subsidiary 1847 Asien Inc., or 1847 Asien, acquired Asien’s Appliance, Inc., a California corporation, or Asien’s. Asien’s has been in business since 1948 serving the North Bay area of Sonoma County, California. It provides a wide variety of appliance services, including sales, delivery/installation, in-home service and repair, extended warranties, and financing. Its main focus is delivering personal sales and exceptional service to its customers at competitive prices.
On September 30, 2020, our subsidiary 1847 Cabinet Inc., or 1847 Cabinet, acquired Kyle’s Custom Wood Shop, Inc., an Idaho corporation, or Kyle’s. Kyle’s is a leading custom cabinetry maker servicing contractors and homeowners since 1976 in Boise, Idaho and the surrounding area. Kyle’s focuses on designing, building, and installing custom cabinetry primarily for custom and semi-custom builders.
On March 30, 2021, our subsidiary 1847 Wolo Inc., or 1847 Wolo, acquired Wolo Mfg. Corp., a New York corporation, and Wolo Industrial Horn & Signal, Inc., a New York corporation (which we collectively refer to as Wolo). Headquartered in Deer Park, New York and founded in 1965, Wolo designs and sells horn and safety products (electric, air, truck, marine, motorcycle and industrial equipment), and offers vehicle emergency and safety warning lights for cars, trucks, industrial equipment and emergency vehicles.
On October 8, 2021, our subsidiary 1847 Cabinet acquired High Mountain Door & Trim Inc., a Nevada corporation, or High Mountain, and Sierra Homes, LLC d/b/a Innovative Cabinets & Design, a Nevada limited liability company, or Innovative Cabinets. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada and founded in 2014, High Mountain specializes in all aspects of finished carpentry products and services, including doors, door frames, base boards, crown molding, cabinetry, bathroom sinks and cabinets, bookcases, built-in closets, and fireplace mantles, among others, working primarily with large homebuilders of single-family homes and commercial and multi-family developers. Innovative Cabinets is headquartered in Reno, Nevada and was founded in 2008. It specializes in custom cabinetry and countertops for a client base consisting of single-family homeowners, builders of multi-family homes, as well as commercial clients.
On February 9, 2023, our subsidiary, 1847 ICU Holdings Inc., or 1847 ICU, acquired ICU Eyewear Holdings, Inc., a California corporation, and its subsidiary ICU Eyewear, Inc., a California corporation, which we collectively refer to as ICU Eyewear. Headquartered in Hollister, California and founded in 1956, ICU Eyewear specializes in the sale and distribution of reading eyewear and sunglasses, blue light blocking eyewear, sun readers, and other outdoor specialty sunglasses, as well as select health and personal care items, including face masks.
Through our structure, we offer investors an opportunity to participate in the ownership and growth of a portfolio of businesses that traditionally have been owned and managed by private equity firms, private individuals or families, financial institutions or large conglomerates. We believe that our management and acquisition strategies will allow us to achieve our goals to make and grow regular distributions to our common shareholders and increase common shareholder value over time.
We seek to acquire controlling interests in small businesses that we believe operate in industries with long-term macroeconomic growth opportunities, and that have positive and stable earnings and cash flows, face minimal threats of technological or competitive obsolescence and have strong management teams largely in place. We believe that private company operators and corporate parents looking to sell their businesses will consider us to be an attractive purchaser of their businesses. We make these businesses our majority-owned subsidiaries and actively manage and grow such businesses. We expect to improve our businesses over the long term through organic growth opportunities, add-on acquisitions and operational improvements.
Recent Developments
Amendment to 6% Amortizing Promissory Note
On April 6, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the 6% amortizing promissory note described in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt—6% Amortizing Promissory Note” below, effective retroactively to October 20, 2022. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to July 30, 2023 and revised the repayment terms so that the outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest thereon shall be payable in three payments on April 6, 2023, June 30, 2023 and July 30, 2023.

Amendments to Securities Purchase Agreements
On May 15, 2023, we entered into amendments to the securities purchase agreements relating to the series A senior convertible preferred shares and series B senior convertible preferred shares, pursuant to which the securities purchase agreements were amended to include a provision requiring the exercise of warrants issued pursuant to such securities purchase agreements for the issuance of a number of common shares equal to the quotient of (i) eighty percent (80%) of the Black Scholes Value of the warrants divided by (ii) the applicable exercise price of the warrants. We expect to issue a forced exercise notice on May 16, 2023 with the requisite shares being issued on May 17, 2023. We are effecting the forced exercise in part to eliminate the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the warrants, including the “exploding” feature of the warrants issued in connection with the series A preferred financing which would result not just in the exercise price of the warrants being reduced, but in the number of underlying warrant shares being increased proportionately.

Management Fees
On April 15, 2013, we and our manager entered into a management services agreement, pursuant to which we are required to pay our manager a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% of our adjusted net assets for services performed (which we refer to as the parent management fee). The amount of the parent management fee with respect to any fiscal quarter is (i) reduced by the aggregate amount of any management fees received by our manager under any offsetting management services agreements with respect to such fiscal quarter, (ii) reduced (or increased) by the amount of any over-paid (or under-paid) parent management fees received by (or owed to) our manager as of the end of such fiscal quarter, and (iii) increased by the amount of any outstanding accrued and unpaid parent management fees. We did not expense any parent management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

24
Although we do not believe that we will require additional cash to continue our operations over the next twelve months, we do believe additional funds are required to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional businesses. The funds required to execute our business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries. We will seek growth as funds become available from cash flow, borrowings, additional capital raised privately or publicly, or seller retained financing.
Our primary use of funds will be for future acquisitions, public company expenses including regular distributions to our shareholders, investments in future acquisitions, payments to our manager pursuant to the management services agreement, potential payment of profit allocation to our manager and potential put price to our manager in respect of the allocation shares it owns. The management fee, expenses, potential profit allocation and potential put price are paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds we hold, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures. See Item 1. “Business—Our Manager” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information concerning the management fee, the profit allocation and put price.
The amount of management fee paid to our manager by us is reduced by the aggregate amount of any offsetting management fees, if any, received by our manager from any of our businesses. As a result, the management fee paid to our manager may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The amount of management fee paid to our manager may represent a significant cash obligation. In this respect, the payment of the management fee will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders.
Our manager, as holder of 100% of our allocation shares, is entitled to receive a twenty percent (20%) profit allocation as a form of preferred equity distribution, subject to an annual hurdle rate of eight percent (8%), as follows. Upon the sale of a subsidiary, our manager will be paid a profit allocation if the sum of (i) the excess of the gain on the sale of such subsidiary over a high-water mark plus (ii) the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition by us exceeds the 8% hurdle rate. The 8% hurdle rate is the product of (i) a 2% rate per quarter, multiplied by (ii) the number of quarters such subsidiary was held by us, multiplied by (iii) the subsidiary’s average share (determined based on gross assets, generally) of our consolidated net equity (determined according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with certain adjustments). In certain circumstances, after a subsidiary has been held for at least 5 years, our manager may also trigger a profit allocation with respect to such subsidiary (determined based solely on the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition). The amount of profit allocation may represent a significant cash payment and is senior in right to payments of distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of profit allocation paid, when paid, will reduce the amount of cash available to us for our operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions. See Item 1. “Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Manager’s Profit Allocation” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information on the calculation of the profit allocation.
Our operating agreement also contains a supplemental put provision, which gives our manager the right, subject to certain conditions, to cause us to purchase the allocation shares then owned by our manager upon termination of the management services agreement. The amount of put price under the supplemental put provision is determined by assuming all of our subsidiaries are sold at that time for their fair market value and then calculating the amount of profit allocation would be payable in such a case. If the management services agreement is terminated for any reason other than our manager’s resignation, the payment to our manager could be as much as twice the amount of such hypothetical profit allocation. As is the case with profit allocation, the calculation of the put price is complex and based on many factors that cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. See Item 1. “Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Supplemental Put Provision” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information on the calculation of the put price. The put price obligation, if our manager exercises its put right, will represent a significant cash payment and is senior in right to payments of distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of put price will reduce the amount of cash available to us for our operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions.

Interest accrued on the advances shall be payable monthly commencing on March 7, 2023. We may voluntarily prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of the note without premium or penalty; provided that in the event that we make such prepayment on or before February 9, 2024, then we must pay certain fees set forth in the note. The note is secured by all of the assets of 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear.
The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for loans of this type. The loan agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: (i) for failure to pay principal and interest on the note when due, or to pay any fees due under the loan agreement; (ii) for failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in the loan agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith; (iii) if any statement, representation or warranty in the loan agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith is at any time found to have been false in any material respect at the time such representation or warranty was made; (iv) if we default under any agreement or contract with a third party which default would result in a liability to us in excess of $25,000; (v) for any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution or assignment to creditors; (vi) if any judgments or attachments aggregating in excess of $10,000 at any given time are obtained against us which remain unstayed for a period of ten (10) days or are enforced or if there is an indictment under an criminal statute or proceeding pursuant to which remedies sought may include the forfeiture of any property; (vii) if a material adverse effect or change of control (each as defined in the loan agreement) shall have occurred; (viii) for certain environmental claims; and (ix) for failure to notify the lender of certain events or failure to deliver certain documentation required by the loan agreement.

We are required to make weekly ACH payments in the amount of $39,300. The agreement also allows for the third-party to file UCCs securing their interest in the receivables and includes customary events of default. We recorded a debt discount of $555,000, which will be amortized under the effective interest method. We are utilizing the prospective method to account for subsequent changes in the estimated future payments, whereby if there is a change in the estimated future cash flows, a new effective interest rate is determined based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. As of March 31, 2023 the effective interest rate was approximately 72%.

These notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and mature on the first anniversary of the date of issuance; provided that any principal amount or interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate of the lesser of 16% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The notes require monthly payments of principal and interest commencing in May 2023. The Company may voluntarily prepay the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of each note in whole upon payment of certain prepayment fees. In addition, if at any time the Company receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, including, but not limited to, the issuance of equity or debt, the exercise of outstanding warrants, the issuance of securities pursuant to an equity line of credit (as defined in the notes) or the sale of assets outside of the ordinary course of business, each holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 50% of such proceeds to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and interest then due under the notes. The notes are unsecured and have priority over all other unsecured indebtedness. The notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for a loan of this type.
The notes become convertible into common shares at the option of the holders at any time on or following the date that an event of default (as defined in the notes) occurs under the notes at a conversion price equal the lower of (i) $4.20 (subject to adjustments) and (ii) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common shares on any trading day during the five (5) trading days prior to the conversion date; provided that such conversion price shall not be less than $0.03 (subject to adjustments).

Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
On October 8, 2021, we and each of our subsidiaries 1847 Asien, 1847 Wolo, 1847 Cabinet, Asien’s, Wolo, Kyle’s, High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets, entered into a note purchase agreement with two institutional investors, pursuant to which we issued to these purchasers secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $24,860,000. The notes contain an aggregate original issue discount of $497,200. As a result, the total purchase price was $24,362,800. After payment of expenses of $617,825, we received net proceeds of $23,744,975, of which $10,687,500 was used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets. In addition, as consideration for the financing, we granted the financing agent 187,500 warrants with a fair value of $956,526 and 7.5% interest in High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets which had a fair value of $1,146,803. The agent fees were reflected as a discount against the convertible note payable with the warrants being included in additional paid in capital and the equity interest being included within noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining principal balance of the convertible notes at March 31, 2023 is $22,589,681, net of debt discounts of $2,270,319, and an accrued interest balance of $982,572.
The notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 4.75% plus the U.S. Prime Rate that appears in The Wall Street Journal from time to time or (ii) 8%; provided that, upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such rate shall increase to 24% or the maximum legal rate. Payments of interest only, computed at such rate on the outstanding principal amount, will be due and payable quarterly in arrears commencing on January 1, 2022 and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter through and including the maturity date, October 8, 2026.
We may voluntarily prepay the notes in whole or in part upon payment of a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 10% of the principal and interest paid in connection with such prepayment. In addition, immediately upon receipt by our company or any subsidiary of any proceeds from any issuance of indebtedness (other than certain permitted indebtedness), any proceeds of any sale or disposition by our company or any subsidiary of any of the collateral or any of its respective assets (other than asset sales or dispositions in the ordinary course of business which are permitted by the note purchase agreement), or any proceeds from any casualty insurance policies or eminent domain, condemnation or similar proceedings, we must prepay the notes in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by our company or a subsidiary in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-affiliates).
The holders of the notes may, in their sole discretion, elect to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the notes, and any accrued but unpaid interest on such portion, into our common shares at a conversion price equal to $10.00 (subject to standard adjustments, including a full ratchet antidilution adjustment); provided that the notes contain certain beneficial ownership limitations.
Pursuant to the terms of the notes, until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the issuance date of the notes, the holders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any securities offering other than a permitted issuance (as defined in the note purchase agreement) in an amount of up to the original principal amount of the notes. In addition, the holders shall have the right of first refusal to participate in any issuance of indebtedness until the notes have been terminated; provided, however, that this right of first refusal shall not apply to permitted issuances.
The note purchase agreement and the notes contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and other covenants and events of default for loans of this type. The notes are guaranteed by each subsidiary and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets.

Garcia-Rendon, the sellers of High Mountain and Innovative Cabinets. On July 26, 2022, we and 1847 Cabinet entered into a conversion agreement with Steven J. Parkey and Jose D. Garcia-Rendon, pursuant to which they agreed to convert an aggregate of $3,360,000 of the convertible notes into an aggregate of 800,000 common shares at a conversion price of $4.20 per share. As a result, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,280,000. The remaining principal balance of the notes at March 31, 2023 is $2,274,690, net of debt discounts of $245,656, and an accrued interest balance of $419,232.
The notes bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum and are due and payable on October 8, 2024; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such interest rate shall increase to ten percent (10%) per annum. 1847 Cabinet may prepay the notes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice to the holders of the notes.
At any time prior to October 8, 2022, the holders may, in their sole discretion, elect to convert up to twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount of the notes and all accrued, but unpaid, interest into such number of shares of the common stock of 1847 Cabinet determined by dividing the amount to be converted by a conversion price determined by dividing (i) the fair market value of 1847 Cabinet (determined in accordance with the notes) by (ii) the number of shares of 1847 Cabinet outstanding on a fully diluted basis. In addition, on October 8, 2021, we entered into an exchange agreement with the holders, pursuant to which we granted them the right to exchange all of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the notes or any portion thereof for a number of our common shares to be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by an exchange price equal to the higher of (i) the 30-day volume weighted average price for our common shares on the primary national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which our common shares are traded over the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the applicable exchange date or (ii) $10.00 (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions).
The notes contain customary events of default, including in the event of a default under the secured convertible promissory notes described above. The rights of the holders to receive payments under the notes are subordinated to the rights of the purchasers under secured convertible promissory notes described above.

Contractual Obligations
Our principal commitments consist mostly of obligations under the loans described above and other contractual commitments described below.
We have engaged our manager to manage our day-to-day operations and affairs. Our relationship with our manager will be governed principally by the following agreements:
● | the management services agreement and offsetting management services agreements relating to the management services our manager will perform for us and the businesses we own and the management fee to be paid to our manager in respect thereof; and |
● | our operating agreement setting forth our manager’s rights with respect to the allocation shares it owns, including the right to receive profit allocations from us, and the supplemental put provision relating to our manager’s right to cause us to purchase the allocation shares it owns. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on April 11, 2023.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2023. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for the description of these weaknesses.
31
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
● | We did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to evaluate the proper accounting and disclosures of key documents and agreements. |
● | We do not have adequate segregation of duties with our limited accounting personnel and rely upon outsourced accounting services. |
● | We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. |
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the first quarter of 2023, we continued to implement the following remedial procedures:
● | We plan to make necessary changes by providing training to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to financial reporting requirements. |
● | In the first quarter of 2022, we engaged a financial reporting consultant to provide outsourced accounting and financial reporting services. |
● | In the first quarter of 2022, we also put in place new policies and procedures at the subsidiary level to standardize accounting procedures across all business units. We also plan to hire additional skilled accounting personnel at the subsidiary companies to implement the policies and procedures. |
● | In the third quarter of 2022, we hired a corporate controller. |
We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
