1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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

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

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

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

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

BitNile, Inc. (“BNI”) – cryptocurrency mining operations;

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

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

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

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

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

On January 3, 2023, the Company (then known as BitNile Holdings, Inc.) merged its wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Alliance, Inc. with and into itself. In connection with this upstream merger, Ault Alliance, Inc. was merged out of existence and the business of the Company continued as it was being conducted. Further, on January 3, 2023, the effective date of the merger, the Company changed its name to Ault Alliance, Inc. and its ticker was changed to “AULT.” The name change did not affect the rights of security holders of the Company.

Reverse Stock Split

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

2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.2 million and negative working capital of $37.9 million. The Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

F-8

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

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

Management expects that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and marketable securities as of March 31, 2023, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Management anticipates raising additional capital through the private and public sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities and selling its marketable securities and digital currencies, or a combination thereof. Although management believes that such capital sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not raise sufficient capital in a timely manner, among other things, the Company may be forced to scale back its operations or cease operations altogether.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited 2022 financial statements contained in the above referenced 2022 Annual Report. Results of the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

Preferred Stock Liabilities

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

A fixed monetary amount known at inception;

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

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

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

F-9

Reclassifications

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

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

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

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

The following table summarizes the changes in investments in other equity securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

11. BUSINESS COMBINATION

BMI Acquisition

On March 6, 2023, the Company closed into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BMI and sold to BMI all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company’s subsidiary, BitNile.com, Inc. (“BitNile.com”) as well as the securities of Earnity, Inc. (“Earnity”) beneficially owned by BitNile.com as of the date of the Agreement (the “Transaction”). As consideration for the acquisition, BMI issued shares of preferred stock convertible into common stock of BMI representing approximately 73.2% of BMI’s outstanding common stock. Pending approval of the transaction by BMI’s shareholders, the preferred stock combined are subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership limitation. The Transaction benefits the Company as BMI is a publicly traded company and provides BitNile.com access to capital markets as the primary focus for BMI to fund the expected growth of the BMI metaverse platform. In addition, there are certain synergies between the Company’s Bitcoin mining operations and BMI’s Agora Digital mining business.

The holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 5% of the stated value of the preferred stock.

F-15

The Company is entitled to appoint three members to the board of directors of BMI and, following shareholder approval, a majority of the board.

The Company consolidates BMI as a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) due to its significant level of influence and control of BMI, the size of its investment, and its ability to participate in policy making decisions. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

The total purchase price to acquire BMI has been allocated to the assets acquired and assumed liabilities based upon preliminary estimated fair values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not tax deductible. The fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the date of acquisition are based on preliminary estimates provided, in part, by a third-party valuation expert. The estimates are subject to change upon the finalization of appraisals and other valuation analyses, which are expected to be completed no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Although the completion of the valuation activities may result in asset and liability fair values that are different from the preliminary estimates included herein, it is not expected that those differences would alter the understanding of the impact of this transaction on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:


	Preliminary Allocation
Fair value of Company interest	$	287,000
Fair value of non-controlling interest		6,357,000

14. PREFERRED STOCK LIABILITY

March 28, 2023 Security Purchase Agreement

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

Preferred stock liability at March 31, 2023 was comprised of the following:

Schedule of preferred stock liability
Preferred Type	Shares		Conversion Price	Stated Value		Fair Value
Series E Convertible Preferred Liability		83,000	See below*	$	8,300,000	$	7,055,000
Series F Convertible Preferred Liability		1,000	See below*		100,000		82,000
Series G Convertible Preferred Liability		16,000	See below*		1,600,000		1,360,000
Total		100,000		$	10,000,000	$	8,500,000

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

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

F-18

15. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN EQUITY OF SUBSIDIARY LIABILITY

The Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiaries to reflect the economic interests of the common stockholders in Ault Disruptive. As of March 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in equity of subsidiaries was recorded at its redemption value of $118.7 million. These redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. This classification is due to the expiry of time that was allotted for Ault Disruptive to consummate its initial business combination, which occurred on December 20, 2022. Ault Disruptive announced two, three-month extension periods, however, the deposits associated with these extensions have yet to be made.

GIGA Senior Secured Convertible Notes

On January 11, 2023, GIGA entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“GIGA SPA”) with two accredited investors (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which GIGA sold to the Lenders $3.3 million 10% original issue discount Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, no par value for total gross proceeds of $3.0 million. The net proceeds shall be used primarily for working capital.

The Notes are secured by the assets of GIGA pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into for such purpose, and are senior to the indebtedness payable to Ault and Ault Lending, pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into in connection with the GIGA SPA.

The Notes mature on the earlier of (i) nine months from the issuance date, or October 11, 2023, or (ii) completion of the uplist transaction pursuant to which GIGA’s common stock becomes listed for trading on a national securities exchange operated by The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange (an “Uplist Transaction”). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum payable monthly, which increases to 18% upon an event of default. In addition, under the Notes upon an event of default GIGA is required to pay 20% of its consolidated revenues monthly on each interest payment date in reduction of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

F-20

The Notes provide for certain events of default which include failure of the Uplist Transaction to occur by the maturity date, failure to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement under the Registration Rights Agreement (as described below), suspension of trading of GIGA’s common stock for five consecutive trading days, failure to timely deliver shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, failure to timely make payments under the Notes, default under other indebtedness, and certain other customary events of default, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

Upon an event of default, the holders will have the right to require GIGA to prepay the Notes at a 125% premium. Further, upon a bankruptcy event of default or a change of control event, GIGA will be required to prepay the Notes at a premium. If the conversion price falls below $0.25, GIGA may also elect to prepay the notes at a 125% premium.

The Notes are convertible upon the earlier of the Uplist Transaction and an event of default at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) 90% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date and (b) $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment including downward adjustment upon any dilutive issuance of securities.

GIGA repaid its existing line of credit with Western Alliance Bank which had an existing balance of approximately $59,000. Under the Notes, GIGA may enter into a factoring agreement of $2 million using GIGA’s accounts receivable as collateral.

The Warrants entitle the holders to purchase a total of 1.7 million shares of common stock for a five-year period from issuance, at an exercise price determined as follows: (i) beginning on the issuance date and for a period of 90 days thereafter, $0.78, (ii) if the Uplist Transaction has occurred as of the date of exercise, the lower of (A) $0.78 and (B) 110% of the per share offering price to the public in the Uplist Transaction, and (iii) if neither of (i) and (ii) apply, the lower of (A) $0.78 and (B) 90% of the lowest VWAP for the 10 trading days prior to the date of the exercise, subject to adjustment including downward adjustment upon any dilutive issuance of securities. If the Uplist Transaction is not completed prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants will be doubled, without an adjustment to the exercise price.

The GIGA SPA, Warrants and Notes require a reserve of authorized but unissued shares of common stock initially equal to approximately 15.0 million shares of common stock, subject to reduction as the Notes and Warrants are converted and exercised, respectively.

Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as placement agent in the offering and received a cash commission in the amount of 8% of the gross proceeds, or $0.2 million. In addition, GIGA agreed to pay the Placement Agent an expense allowance of $30,000. Furthermore, GIGA agreed to issue the Placement Agent five-year warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of the total number of shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants sold in the offering, or 1.2 million shares. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of 110% of the Warrant exercise price.

Under the GIGA SPA, GIGA reimbursed the Lenders a total of $60,000 out of the proceeds from the offering for fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

In connection with the GIGA SPA, GIGA entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which it agreed to register the resale by the Lenders of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Warrants. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the initial registration statement on Form S-1 must be filed 30 days after the Notes become convertible, and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days thereafter, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. GIGA did not complete the registration statement in a timely manner, which is an event of default. The Lenders required GIGA to terminate the Financing Agreement as a condition of lending it the $3 million and GIGA’s issuance of the Notes.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

Litigation Matters

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

F-21

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

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

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $3.1 million as a loss contingency related to litigation matters.

SEC Investigation

The Company and certain affiliates and related parties received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony in the non-public fact-finding investigation referred to as In re DPW Holdings, Inc. The Company and those parties have engaged in discussions with the SEC regarding the matters at issue in the investigation, and those discussions have progressed. No final resolution regarding the matters at issue in the investigation has been reached however, and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter. The Company recorded a $1.0 million loss contingency related to this matter.

19. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

2023 Issuances

2022 Common ATM Offering

On February 25, 2022, the Company entered into an At-The-Market issuance sales agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant Capital”) to sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program (the “2022 Common ATM Offering”). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 0.1 million shares of common stock pursuant to the 2022 Common ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $4.2 million. Effective March 17, 2023, the 2022 Common ATM Offering was terminated.

2022 Preferred ATM Offering

On June 14, 2022, the Company entered into an At-The-Market equity offering program with Ascendiant Capital under which it may sell, from time to time, shares of its Series D Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $46.4 million (the “2022 Preferred ATM Offering”). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 90,184 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the 2022 Preferred ATM Offering for net proceeds of $1.2 million.

20. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was (0.5%) and 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the ETR and federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily attributable to items recorded for GAAP but permanently disallowed for U.S. federal income tax purposes and changes in valuation allowance.

F-22

21. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities, which are convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock, consisted of the following at March 31, 2023 and 2022:

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

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

Recent Events and Developments

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

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

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

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

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

We called a special meeting of stockholders, which was held on May 15, 2023, to consider an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize a reverse split of our common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Investors agreed in the Purchase Agreement to not transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Preferred Shares until after the Reverse Split. Pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series E Preferred Stock, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock had the right to vote on such Amendment on an as converted to common stock basis. In addition, pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series F Preferred Stock, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock had the right to vote on such Amendment. Each Investor agreed to vote the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock in favor of the Amendment and that the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall automatically be voted in a manner that “mirrors” the proportions on which the shares of our common stock and Series E Preferred Stock are voted on the Amendment. The Amendment required the approval of the majority of the votes associated with our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote on the proposal.

On May 15, 2023, we held the special meeting of stockholders, at which meeting the Reverse Split was approved by the stockholders. On May 15, 2023, we approved a ratio with respect to the Reverse Split of one-for-three hundred. The Reverse Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock or their par value per share. As a result of the Reverse Split, each three hundred shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Reverse Split were converted into one share of common stock. The Reverse Split became effective in the State of Delaware on May 17, 2023. All share amounts in this Quarterly Report have been updated to reflect the Reverse Split.

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

General

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

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

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

We are a Delaware corporation with our corporate office located at 11411 Southern Highlands Pkwy, Suite 240, Las Vegas, NV 89141. Our phone number is 949-444-5464 and our website address is www.ault.com.

Our revenues decreased by $1.6 million, or 5%, to $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $32.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

GIGA

The $1.5 million increase in our GIGA segment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $0.4 million attributable to our recent acquisition of Giga-tronics Incorporated on September 8, 2022. The improved economic environment following COVID-19 disruptions, along with increased military spending, drove growth in our GIGA segment, which provides customized solutions for military markets. Additionally, revenue from Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., a subsidiary of Giga-tronics Incorporated, which is primarily recognized over time, increased by 7%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, up $0.2 million from $3.3 million in the prior-year period.

TurnOnGreen

TurnOnGreen revenues were down $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

SMC

SMC revenues increased by $3.4 million due to the acquisition of SMC in June 2022.

BNI

Revenues from BNI’s cryptocurrency mining operations increased $3.8 million as we increased our cryptocurrency mining activities from the prior period, partially offset by lower Bitcoin prices and an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty level in the current year period.

AGREE

AGREE’s revenues decreased by $0.5 million due to interruptions in business operations as the properties were being renovated during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The renovations were completed in April 2023.

Fintech

Revenues from our lending and trading activities were negative $4.9 million due to significant unrealized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from our investment portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Ault Lending generated significant income from appreciation of investments in marketable securities as well as shares of common stock underlying convertible notes and warrants issued to Ault Lending in certain financing transactions. Revenue from lending and trading activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included an approximate $1.5 million unrealized loss from our investment in Alzamend. Under its business model, Ault Lending also generates revenue through origination fees charged to borrowers and interest generated from each loan.

Revenues from our trading activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included net losses on equity securities, including unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in our periodic earnings.

Energy

Energy revenues increased by $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the acquisition of the Circle 8 crane operations in December 2022.

Gross Margins

Gross margins decreased to 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our gross margins have typically ranged between 33% and 37%, with slight variations depending on the overall composition of our revenue.

Our gross margins of 7% recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by negative margins from our lending and trading activities and negative margins from our BNI cryptocurrency mining segment due to the decline in the price of Bitcoin coupled with an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty level. Excluding the effects of margin from our lending and trading activities and cryptocurrency mining operations, our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 would have been 31% and 30%, respectively, with gross margins slightly lower than our historical averages due to gross margins from SMC, which were 23%.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to expenditures related to development work on the BMI metaverse platform.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $2.3 million, or 36%. The increase was the result of $1.3 million higher advertising and promotion costs related to BMI’s metaverse platform, including an increase of $0.6 million related to an advertising sponsorship agreement. The increase is also attributable to $0.8 million increases in sales and marketing costs from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022 and $0.3 million from GIGA, which was acquired in September 2022

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $9.0 million, or 66%. General and administrative expenses increased from the comparative prior period, mainly due to:

general and administrative costs of $3.0 million from Circle 8, which was acquired in December 2022;

general and administrative costs of $2.2 million from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022;

general and administrative costs of $1.3 million from GIGA, which was acquired in September 2022;

higher stock-based compensation of $1.3 million;

$1.0 million higher travel costs;

$0.8 million increase in the accrual of a performance bonus related to realized gains on trading activities during the period;

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

partially offset by a decrease in corporate legal fees of $1.0 million.

Impairment of Mined Cryptocurrency

Impairment of mined cryptocurrency for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, attributable to the volatility of the Bitcoin market as market price of Bitcoin drops below the Company’s carrying value within the respective periods.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to higher interest rates resulting in higher income from ADRT’s cash and marketable securities held in the trust account.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $29.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $29.8 million interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related primarily to amortization of debt discount of $26.3 million from the issuance of warrants, a non-cash charge, and original issue discount, in connection with the $66.0 million of senior notes issued in December 2021, which were fully paid in March 2022. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes $9.0 amortization of debt discount primarily related to new debt agreements compared to the prior year period.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The current period loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the issuance of $8.5 million fair value of convertible preferred stock liabilities to satisfy $8.4 million of principal amount of secured promissory notes.

Loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Loss from investment in unconsolidated entity was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing our share of losses from our equity method investment in AVLP prior to the June 1, 2022 acquisition.

Impairment of Equity Securities

Cumulative downward adjustments for impairments for our equity securities without readily determinable fair values held at March 31, 2023 were $9.6 million.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Other comprehensive gain was $0.2 million compared to other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The balance of other comprehensive income for both years was caused by foreign currency translation adjustments between our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar, and the British Pound and Israeli Shekel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.2 million (excluding restricted cash of $1.9 million), compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million (excluding restricted cash of $3.6 million) at December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due the payment of debt and purchases of property and equipment partially offset by cash provided by financing activities related to the sale of common and preferred stock, as well as proceeds from notes payable and cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $22.0 million net cash provided by marketable securities from trading activities related to the operations of Ault Lending, partially offset by operating losses and changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $4.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and reflects the following transactions:

2022 Common ATM Offering – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold an aggregate of 0.1 million shares of common stock pursuant to the 2022 Common ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $4.2 million. Effective March 17, 2023, we terminated the 2022 Common ATM Offering;

2022 Preferred ATM Offering – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold an aggregate of 90,184 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the 2022 Preferred ATM Offering for net proceeds of $1.2 million;

$19.7 million payments on notes payable, partially offset by $5.0 million proceeds from notes payable; and

$2.7 million proceeds from convertible notes payable, partially offset by $0.2 million payments on convertible notes payable.

Financing transactions subsequent to March 31, 2023 included the following:

Upon an event of default, we will pledge our ownership of the membership interests in 456 Lux Hotel NYC, LLC, which is a limited partner in NYREIC 456 LP.

BMI and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement whereby BMI agreed to file a registration statement to register the conversion shares and warrant shares.

Critical Accounting Policies

Variable Interest Entities

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

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

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

Business Combination

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

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

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

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

Management has identified the following material weaknesses:

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

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

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

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

Planned Remediation

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

Except as detailed above, during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation Matters

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

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

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