NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 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 the 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Reverse Share Split
On September 11, 2023, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse split of our outstanding common shares. All outstanding common shares and warrants were adjusted to reflect the 1-for-25 reverse split, with respective exercise prices of the warrants proportionately increased. The outstanding convertible notes and series A and B senior convertible preferred shares conversion prices were adjusted to reflect a proportional decrease in the number of common shares to be issued upon conversion.
All share and per share data throughout these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse share split. The total number of authorized common shares did not change. As a result of the reverse common share split, an amount equal to the decreased value of common shares was reclassified from “common shares” to “additional paid-in capital.”
Warrant liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares and whether the events where holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement are within the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Embedded Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates the embedded features in accordance with ASC 480, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). Certain conversion options and redemption features are required to be bifurcated from their host instrument and accounted for as free-standing derivative financial instruments should certain criteria be met. The Company applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate complex terms and conditions of all of its financial instruments, including notes payable and warrants, to determine whether such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the derivatives. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations each period.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications within operating expenses have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. There is no impact in total to the results of operations and cash flows in all periods presented.
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.

1847 HOLDINGS LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,056,751. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $1,697,053, cash flows used in operations of $5,697,319 and working capital of $618,235. 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 4—DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES AND SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has four reportable segments:
The Retail and Appliances Segment provides a wide variety of appliance products (laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashers, outdoor, accessories, parts, and other appliance related products) and services (delivery, installation, service and repair, extended warranties, and financing).

NOTE 9—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
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 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.
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. This transaction aligned with the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting small businesses in various industries that the Company expects will face minimal threats of technological or competitive obsolescence, produce positive and stable earnings and cash flow, as well as achieve attractive returns on the Company’s invested capital.
The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). 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, exceeding the purchase consideration, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $2,639,861. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, ICU Eyewear contributed revenue of $4,243,524 and $11,530,027, respectively. Additionally, for the same periods, ICU Eyewear reported a net loss of $743,236 and net income of $1,215,425, respectively, which are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods.

On September 11, 2023, GemCap Solutions, LLC sold and assigned the loan to AB Lending SPV I LLC d/b/a Mountain Ridge Capital. On the same date, 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear entered into an amended and restated credit and security agreement with the AB Lending SPV I LLC d/b/a Mountain Ridge Capital for a revolving loan of up to $15,000,000, which loan may be drawn in advances. On the same date, the Company received an advance of $4,218,985, which was used to pay the amounts outstanding under the loan from GemCap Solutions, LLC, to pay certain closing fees and expenses in connection with the closing and for general working capital purposes.
The revolving loan matures on September 11, 2026 and bears interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR plus eight percent (8.00%) per annum or, if at any time the Term SOFR cannot be determined, then at the Base Rate plus seven percent (7.00%), but in any event at a rate no higher than that permitted under applicable law. “Term SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for a one-month period on the date that is two (2) business days prior to the first day of such one-month period and “Base Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 1.00%, (ii) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%. However, following and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the amended and restated credit and security agreement), interest shall accrue at a default rate equal to such above rate plus two percent (2.00%) per annum. Interest accrued on the advances shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing on October 1, 2023. The Company may voluntarily prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of the advances prior to the maturity date, but must pay a prepayment fee determined as follows: (i) a fee of three percent (3.00%) if the prepayment is made on or before September 11, 2024, (ii) a fee of two percent (2.00%) if the prepayment is made between September 12, 2024 and September 11, 2025, or (iii) a fee of one percent (1.00%) if the prepayment is made between September 12, 2025 and September 11, 2026.
The amended and restated credit and security agreement contains customary affirmative and negative financial and other covenants and events of default for a loan of this type. The loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear and is guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a limited guaranty. The Company may satisfy its obligations under the limited guaranty by paying such amounts in cash, or by issuing to the lender a number of common shares equal to the sum needed to satisfy the obligations under the limited guaranty in full divided by a price equal to the lesser of $4.575 or the closing price of the common shares on the day prior to such issuance; provided that if such issuance would violate Section 7.13 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which restricts the issuance of shares equal to 20% or more of the outstanding common shares for less than the greater of book or market value, then the Company must obtain shareholder approval of such issuance.
Notes Payable
6% Subordinated Promissory Notes
As part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of ICU Eyewear, 1847 ICU issued the sellers 6% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum with all principal and accrued interest being due and payable in one lump sum on February 9, 2024; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such interest rate shall increase to 10%. 1847 ICU may prepay all or any portion of the notes at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty of any kind. The notes contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a default by 1847 ICU of any of its covenants in the notes, the agreement and plan of merger or any other agreement entered into in connection with the agreement and plan of merger, or a breach of any of the representations or warranties under such documents, (iii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of 1847 ICU or ICU Eyewear or (iv) a change of control (as defined in the notes) of 1847 ICU or ICU Eyewear. The notes are unsecured and subordinated to all senior indebtedness.
Purchase and Sale of Future Revenues Agreement
On March 31, 2023, the Company and its subsidiary 1847 Cabinet Inc. (“1847 Cabinet”) entered into a non-recourse funding agreement with a third-party for the sale of future revenues totaling $1,965,000 for net cash proceeds of $1,410,000. The Company is 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.
The Company recorded a debt discount of $555,000, which will be amortized under the effective interest method. The Company is 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 September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate was 72.4%.

Private Placement of 20% OID Promissory Notes and Warrants
On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in a private placement transaction with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the investors 20% OID subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,125,000 and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 163,939 common shares for total cash proceeds of $2,218,000.
The notes are due and payable on February 11, 2024. The Company may voluntarily prepay the notes in full at any time. In addition, if the Company consummates any equity or equity-linked or debt securities issuance, or enters into a loan agreement or other financing, other than certain excluded debt (as defined in the notes), then the Company must prepay the notes in full. The notes are unsecured and have priority over all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company, except for certain senior indebtedness (as defined in the notes). The notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for a loan of this type.
The warrants are exercisable for a period five (5) years at an exercise price of $4.58 (subject to standard adjustments for share splits, share combinations, share dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar transactions) and may be exercised on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of common shares upon exercise thereof.
Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company is required to hold a special meeting of its shareholders on or before the date that is sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the securities purchase agreement for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance of all common shares that may be issued upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants in accordance with NYSE American rules (the “Shareholder Approval”). In connection with the securities purchase agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register all common shares underlying the notes and the warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within fifteen (15) days following an event of default and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof. If the Company fails to meet these deadlines or comply with certain other requirements in the registration rights agreement, then on each date that the Company fails to comply, and on each monthly anniversary thereof, the Company shall pay to each investor an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by such investor pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, subject to an aggregate cap of 10%. If the Company fails to pay any of these amounts in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company must pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law).
Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”) acted as placement agent in connection with the securities purchase agreement and received (i) a cash transaction fee equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds, (ii) a non-accountable and non-reimbursable due diligence and expense fee equal to 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds and (iii) a warrant for the purchase of a number of common shares equal to eight percent (8%) of the number common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $5.03 per share (subject to adjustment), resulting in the issuance of a warrant for 346,449 common shares. The warrant is exercisable at any time six months after the date of issuance and until the fifth anniversary thereof.
Subject to Shareholder Approval, the notes are 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 at a conversion price equal to 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s 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 $0.75 (subject to adjustments). The conversion price of the notes is subject to standard adjustments, including a price-based adjustment in the event that the Company issues any common shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the conversion price, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company evaluated the embedded features within these promissory notes in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Company determined that the embedded features, specifically (i) the default penalty of 40% on outstanding principal, and (ii) the conversion option into common shares at 90% of the lowest VWAP in the five days preceding conversion, subject to a $0.75 floor price, constitute derivative liabilities. These features, arising from default provisions not within the Company’s control, including the contingent interest feature and the contingent conversion (deemed redemption) feature, meet the definition of a derivative and do not qualify for derivative accounting exemptions. Consequently, these embedded features are bifurcated from the debt host and recognized as a single derivative liability.
The initial fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, considering various potential outcomes and scenarios. The model used the following assumptions: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 145.37%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 5.37%; (iv) maximum term of one year; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $4.63 per share; and (vi) various probability assumptions. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations each reporting period. The issuance costs for the promissory notes, along with the allocated fair values of both the warrants and the bifurcated embedded derivative liability, have been collectively treated as a debt discount. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the promissory notes using the effective interest method.

Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 302 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment).
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) $105.00 (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 $0.75 (subject to adjustments).
The Company evaluated the embedded features within these promissory notes in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Company determined that the embedded features, specifically (i) the default penalty of 15% on outstanding principal and accrued interest, and (ii) the conversion option into common shares at the lower of $105.00 or 80% of the lowest VWAP in the five days preceding conversion, subject to a $0.75 floor price, constitute derivative liabilities. These features, arising from default provisions not within the Company’s control, including the contingent interest feature and the contingent conversion (deemed redemption) feature, meet the definition of a derivative and do not qualify for derivative accounting exemptions. Consequently, these embedded features are bifurcated from the debt host and recognized as a single derivative liability.
The initial fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, considering various potential outcomes and scenarios. The model used the following assumptions: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 160.45%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 4.68%; (iv) maximum term of one year; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $48.25 per share; and (vi) various probability assumptions.

Warrants
Warrant Dividend Issued to Common Shareholders
On January 3, 2023, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 16,315 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 $105.00 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.
Warrants Issued in Private Placements of Promissory Notes
On February 3, 2023 (as described in Note 10), the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, Mast Hill and Leonite, pursuant to which the Company issued to such investors (i) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $604,000 and (ii)
-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 5,034 common shares at an exercise price of $4.20 per share (subject to adjustment) for total cash proceeds of $540,000. As additional consideration, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,034 common shares to the investors as a commitment fee. Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 36 common shares at an exercise price of $5.25 (subject to adjustment). On August 30, 2023, Leonite exercised its warrant in full on a cashless basis for 2,733 common shares and on September 11, 2023, Mast Hill exercised its warrant in full on a cashless basis for 569 common shares. The exercise prices of the outstanding foregoing warrants were adjusted on multiple occasions due to the antidilution provisions (down round feature) in the warrants described below.
Accordingly, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants and common shares based on their relative fair value using the Geometric Brownian Motion Stock Path Monte Carlo Simulation. The assumptions used in the model were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 162.3%; (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.1%; (iv) expected life of five years; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $48.25 per share; (vi) exercise price ranging from $105.00 to $131.25; and (vii) various probability assumptions related to down round price adjustments. 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.
On February 9, 2023 (as described in Note 10), the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, Mast Hill and Leonite, pursuant to which the Company issued to such investors
-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 21,314 common shares at an exercise price of $105.00 per share (subject to adjustment). As additional consideration, the Company issued Leonite a five-year warrant for the purchase of 9,723 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which were issued as a commitment fee. Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 477 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment). On August 30, 2023, Leonite exercised both warrants in full on a cashless basis for 15,677 common shares and on September 11, 2023, Mast Hill exercised its warrant in full on a cashless basis for 7,604 common shares. The exercise prices of the outstanding foregoing warrants were adjusted on multiple occasions due to the antidilution provisions (down round feature) in the warrants described below.

The assumptions used in the model were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 162.0%; (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.3%; (iv) expected life of five years; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $45.00 per share; (vi) exercise price ranging from $0.25 to $131.25; and (vii) various probability assumptions related to down round price adjustments. The fair value of the warrants was $1,323,774 and the fair value of the commitment shares was $521,590, resulting in the amount allocated to the warrants and commitment shares, based on their relative fair value of $879,829, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
On February 22, 2023 (as described in Note 10), the Company entered into securities purchase agreement with one accredited investor, Mast Hill, pursuant to which the Company issued to such investor five-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 7,317 common shares at an exercise price of $105.00 per share (subject to adjustment). As additional consideration, the Company issued a five-year warrant for the purchase of 7,934 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment) to the investor as a commitment fee. Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 302 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment). On September 11, 2023, Mast Hill exercised both warrants in full on a cashless basis for 12,389 common shares. The exercise prices of the outstanding foregoing warrants were adjusted on multiple occasions due to the antidilution provisions (down round feature) in the warrants described below.
Accordingly, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value using the Geometric Brownian Motion Stock Path Monte Carlo Simulation. The assumptions used in the model were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 161.6%; (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.5%; (iv) expected life of five years; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $37.75 per share; (vi) exercise price ranging from $0.25 to $131.25; and (vii) various probability assumptions related to down round price adjustments. The fair value of the warrants was $556,485, resulting in the amount allocated to the warrants, based on their relative fair value of $261,945, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
Warrants Issued in Public Equity Offering
On July 7, 2023 (as described above), the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers and a placement agency agreement with Spartan, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such purchasers prefunded warrants for the purchase of 220,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per common share. All of the prefunded warrants were exercised in full either at closing or shortly thereafter and the Company issued an aggregate of 220,000 common shares upon such exercise.
The Company evaluated the prefunded warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the prefunded warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. The Company determined the prefunded warrants issued failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40, specifically, the prefunded warrants provide for a Black-Scholes value calculation in the event of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions”), which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined that this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as a liability upon issuance and marked to market each reporting period in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations until their exercise or expiration.
The fair value of the warrants deemed to be a liability, due to certain contingent put features, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was deemed to be an appropriate model due to the terms of the warrants issued, including a fixed term and exercise price. The assumptions used in the model were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 157.8%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 5.3%; (iv) expected life of 30 days; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $5.51 per share; (vi) exercise price of $0.25.

As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding warrants have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.74 years and a total intrinsic value of $0.
NOTE 13—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The computation of weighted average shares outstanding and the basic and diluted loss per common share attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were 14,602,209 potential common share equivalents from warrants, convertible debt, and series A and B senior convertible preferred shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were 258,518 potential common share equivalents from warrants, convertible debt, and series A and B senior convertible preferred shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.
NOTE 14—DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2023, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5.9 million that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income indefinitely. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these condensed consolidated financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. For the period ending September 30, 2023, the Company reflects a deferred tax liability in the amount of $0.6 million due to the future tax liability from an asset with an indefinite life known as a “naked credit.” The future tax liability from this indefinite lived asset can be offset by up to 80% of net operating loss carryforwards created after 2017. The remaining portion of the future tax liability from indefinite lived assets cannot be used to offset definite lived deferred tax assets.

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.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Each of these entities shall also reimburse our manager for all of their costs and expenses which are specifically approved by their board of directors, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, which are actually incurred by our manager or its affiliates on behalf of these entities in connection with performing services under the offsetting management services agreements.

Segments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its shareholders.

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 our 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 our company is unable to continue as a going concern. If our company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
We 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.
38
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.

Debt
Revolving Lines of Credit
On February 9, 2023, 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear entered into a loan and security agreement with Industrial Funding Group, Inc. for a revolving loan of up to $5,000,000, which was evidenced by a secured promissory note in the principal amount of up to $5,000,000. On February 9, 2023, 1847 ICU received an advance of $2,063,182 under the note, of which $1,963,182 was used to repay certain debt of ICU Eyewear in connection with the agreement and plan of merger, with the remaining $100,000 used to pay lender fees. On February 11, 2023, the Industrial Funding Group, Inc. sold and assigned the loan and security agreement, the note and related loan documents to GemCap Solutions, LLC.
The note was to mature on February 9, 2025 with all advances bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (a) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such prime rate changes, plus (b) eight percent (8.00%), and (ii) fifteen percent (15.00%); provided that following and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the loan and security agreement), interest on the unpaid principal balance of the advances shall accrue at an annual rate equal to such rate plus three percent (3.00%). Interest accrued on the advances was payable monthly commencing on March 7, 2023. The note was secured by all of the assets of 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear.
On September 11, 2023, GemCap Solutions, LLC sold and assigned the loan to AB Lending SPV I LLC d/b/a Mountain Ridge Capital. On the same date, 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear entered into an amended and restated credit and security agreement with the AB Lending SPV I LLC d/b/a Mountain Ridge Capital for a revolving loan of up to $15,000,000, which loan may be drawn in advances. On the same date, we received an advance of $4,218,985, which was used to pay the amounts outstanding under the loan from GemCap Solutions, LLC, to pay certain closing fees and expenses in connection with the closing and for general working capital purposes.
The revolving loan matures on September 11, 2026 and bears interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR plus eight percent (8.00%) per annum or, if at any time the Term SOFR cannot be determined, then at the Base Rate plus seven percent (7.00%), but in any event at a rate no higher than that permitted under applicable law. “Term SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for a one-month period on the date that is two (2) business days prior to the first day of such one-month period and “Base Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 1.00%, (ii) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%. However, following and during the continuation of an event of default (as defined in the amended and restated credit and security agreement), interest shall accrue at a default rate equal to such above rate plus two percent (2.00%) per annum. Interest accrued on the advances shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing on October 1, 2023. We may voluntarily prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of the advances prior to the maturity date, but must pay a prepayment fee determined as follows: (i) a fee of three percent (3.00%) if the prepayment is made on or before September 11, 2024, (ii) a fee of two percent (2.00%) if the prepayment is made between September 12, 2024 and September 11, 2025, or (iii) a fee of one percent (1.00%) if the prepayment is made between September 12, 2025 and September 11, 2026.
40
The amended and restated credit and security agreement contains customary affirmative and negative financial and other covenants and events of default for a loan of this type. The loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of 1847 ICU and ICU Eyewear and is guaranteed by our company pursuant to a limited guaranty. Our company may satisfy its obligations under the limited guaranty by paying such amounts in cash, or by issuing to the lender a number of common shares equal to the sum needed to satisfy the obligations under the limited guaranty in full divided by a price equal to the lesser of $4.575 or the closing price of the common shares on the day prior to such issuance; provided that if such issuance would violate Section 7.13 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which restricts the issuance of shares equal to 20% or more of the outstanding common shares for less than the greater of book or market value, then we must obtain shareholder approval of such issuance.
The outstanding principal balance of the revolving loan at September 30, 2023 is $3,311,558, net of debt discounts of $746,825, and an accrued interest balance of $37,141.
Private Placements of Promissory Notes and Warrants
On February 3, 2023, we entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, Mast Hill Fund, L.P., or Mast Hill, and Leonite Fund I, LP, or Leonite, pursuant to which we 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 5,034 common shares at an exercise price of $105.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for total cash proceeds of $540,000. As additional consideration, we issued an aggregate of 5,034 common shares to the investors as a commitment fee. Additionally, we issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 36 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment).
On February 9, 2023, we entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, Mast Hill and Leonite, pursuant to which we issued to such investors (i) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,557,575 and (ii) five-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 21,314 common shares at an exercise price of $105.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for total cash proceeds of $2,271,818. As additional consideration, we issued 11,591 common shares to Mast Hill and issued to Leonite a five-year warrant for the purchase of 9,723 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which were issued as a commitment fee. Additionally, we issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 477 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment).
On February 22, 2023, we entered into securities purchase agreement with one accredited investor, Mast Hill, pursuant to which we issued to such investor (i) a promissory note in the principal amount of $878,000 and (ii) five-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 7,317 common shares at an exercise price of $105.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for total cash proceeds of $737,700. As additional consideration, we issued a five-year warrant for the purchase of 7,934 common shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment) to the investor as a commitment fee. Additionally, we issued a five-year warrant to J.H. Darbie & Co (the broker) for the purchase of 302 common shares at an exercise price of $131.25 (subject to adjustment).
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. We 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 we receive 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 us 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.
41
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) $105.00 (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 $0.75 (subject to adjustments).
We evaluated the embedded features within these promissory notes in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. We determined that the embedded features, specifically (i) the default penalty of 15% on outstanding principal and accrued interest, and (ii) the conversion option into common shares at the lower of $105.00 or 80% of the lowest VWAP in the five days preceding conversion, subject to a $0.75 floor price, constitute derivative liabilities. These features, arising from default provisions not within our control, including the contingent interest feature and the contingent conversion (deemed redemption) feature, meet the definition of a derivative and do not qualify for derivative accounting exemptions. Consequently, these embedded features are bifurcated from the debt host and recognized as a single derivative liability.
The initial fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, considering various potential outcomes and scenarios. The model used the following assumptions: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 160.45%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 4.68%; (iv) maximum term of one year; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $48.25 per share; and (vi) various probability assumptions. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations each reporting period. The issuance costs for the promissory notes, along with the allocated fair values of both the warrants and the bifurcated embedded derivative liability, have been collectively treated as a debt discount. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the promissory notes using the effective interest method.
On August 4, 2023, we received notices from Mast Hill and Leonite that an event of default had occurred under the notes issued on February 3, 2023 for failure to make certain payments when due. Mast Hill and Leonite agreed in writing that they would not require any payments in cash for the over-due amounts or accelerate the payments due under the notes for a period of 60 days. Since an event of default occurred, Mast Hill and Leonite have the right to convert the notes, including the over-due amounts, penalties and fees, into common shares at their election. On August 4, 2023, Mast Hill converted its note in full into 22,141 common shares, which conversion amount included $91,174 of principal, interest and certain penalties and fees. In August 2023, Leonite converted its note in full into 191,916 common shares, which conversion amount included $730,814 of principal, interest and certain penalties and fees.
On August 9, 2023, we received notices from Mast Hill and Leonite that an event of default had occurred under the notes issued on February 9, 2023 for failure to make certain payments when due. Mast Hill and Leonite agreed in writing that they would not require any payments in cash for the over-due amounts or accelerate the payments due under the notes for a period of 60 days. Since an event of default occurred, Mast Hill and Leonite have the right to convert the notes, including the over-due amounts, penalties and fees, into common shares at their election. In August 2023, Mast Hill converted a portion of its note into 402,762 common shares, which conversion amount included $1,002,556 of principal, interest and certain penalties and fees. In August 2023, Leonite converted a portion of its note into 580,000 common shares, which conversion amount included $1,305,432 of principal, interest and certain penalties and fees.
On August 31, 2023, our company, Mast Hill and Leonite entered into amendments to the notes issued on February 9, 2023 and February 22, 2023, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of these remaining notes to August 31, 2024 and we agreed to make monthly payments commencing on September 30, 2023, as further described in the amendments. Mast Hill and Leonite also agreed not to convert any portion of the remaining notes as long as we make these payments when due. As consideration for Mast Hill and Leonite’s entry into the amendments, we agreed to pay Mast Hill and Leonite an amendment fee equal to 10% of the principal amounts of the remaining notes.
The outstanding principal balance of these notes at September 30, 2023 is $1,447,427 and an accrued interest balance of $168,487.
Private Placement of 20% OID Notes and Warrants
On August 11, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in a private placement transaction with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold to the investors 20% OID subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,125,000 and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 163,939 common shares for total cash proceeds of $2,218,000.
The notes are due and payable on February 11, 2024. We may voluntarily prepay the notes in full at any time. In addition, if we consummate any equity or equity-linked or debt securities issuance, or enter into a loan agreement or other financing, other than certain excluded debt (as defined in the notes), then we must prepay the notes in full. The notes are unsecured and have priority over all other unsecured indebtedness of our company, except for certain senior indebtedness (as defined in the notes). The notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for a loan of this type.
The warrants are exercisable for a period five (5) years at an exercise price of $4.58 (subject to standard adjustments for share splits, share combinations, share dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar transactions) and may be exercised on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of common shares upon exercise thereof.
42
Spartan acted as placement agent in connection with the securities purchase agreement and received (i) a cash transaction fee equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds, (ii) a non-accountable and non-reimbursable due diligence and expense fee equal to 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds and (iii) a warrant for the purchase of a number of common shares equal to eight percent (8%) of the number common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $5.03 per share (subject to adjustment), resulting in the issuance of a warrant for 346,449 common shares. The warrant is exercisable at any time six months after the date of issuance and until the fifth anniversary thereof.
Subject to equityholder approval (as defined in the securities purchase agreement), the notes are 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 at a conversion price equal to 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our 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 $0.75 (subject to adjustments). The conversion price of the notes is subject to standard adjustments, including a price-based adjustment in the event that we issue any common shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the conversion price, subject to certain exceptions.
We evaluated the embedded features within these promissory notes in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815. We determined that the embedded features, specifically (i) the default penalty of 40% on outstanding principal, and (ii) the conversion option into common shares at 90% of the lowest VWAP in the five days preceding conversion, subject to a $0.75 floor price, constitute derivative liabilities. These features, arising from default provisions not within our control, including the contingent interest feature and the contingent conversion (deemed redemption) feature, meet the definition of a derivative and do not qualify for derivative accounting exemptions. Consequently, these embedded features are bifurcated from the debt host and recognized as a single derivative liability.
The initial fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, considering various potential outcomes and scenarios. The model used the following assumptions: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 145.37%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 5.37%; (iv) maximum term of one year; (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $4.63 per share; and (vi) various probability assumptions. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations each reporting period. The issuance costs for the promissory notes, along with the allocated fair values of both the warrants and the bifurcated embedded derivative liability, have been collectively treated as a debt discount. This discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the promissory notes using the effective interest method.
The outstanding principal balance of these notes at September 30, 2023 is $126, net of debt discounts of $3,124,874.
Purchase and Sale of Future Revenues Agreement
On March 31, 2023, we and 1847 Cabinet entered into a non-recourse funding agreement with a third-party for the sale of future revenues totaling $1,965,000 for net cash proceeds of $1,410,000. 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. The outstanding balance at September 30, 2023 is $797,487, net of debt discounts of $145,713, and the effective interest rate was 72.4%.
6% Subordinated Promissory Notes
As part of the consideration paid in the acquisition of ICU Eyewear, 1847 ICU issued the sellers 6% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum with all principal and accrued interest being due and payable in one lump sum on February 9, 2024; provided that upon an event of default (as defined in the notes), such interest rate shall increase to 10%. 1847 ICU may prepay all or any portion of the notes at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty of any kind. The notes contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a default by 1847 ICU of any of its covenants in the notes, the agreement and plan of merger or any other agreement entered into in connection with the agreement and plan of merger, or a breach of any of the representations or warranties under such documents, (iii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of 1847 ICU or ICU Eyewear or (iv) a change of control (as defined in the notes) of 1847 ICU or ICU Eyewear. The notes are unsecured and subordinated to all senior indebtedness.
The outstanding balance of this note at September 30, 2023 is $500,000 and an accrued interest balance of $19,416.
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 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.
43
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 $1.979 (subject to standard adjustments, including a full ratchet antidilution adjustment); provided that the notes contain certain beneficial ownership limitations.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.
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 September 30, 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 third 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. |
● | We have 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. |
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 third quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
