NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Envela Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Envela”), included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature except those which have been disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods, have been included. Operating results presented for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) of Envela filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”).

Contemporaneously with filing our Quarterly Report Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2023, we updated our two reportable segments by renaming the ECHG segment the “Commercial” segment and the DGSE segment the “Consumer” segment. The segment name changes did not result in any change to the composition of the Company’s operations and therefore did not result in any change to the historical results. Our operations conducted by each of our segments are more specifically described in the following notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Starting January 1, 2023, expenses previously classified as other expenses related to the Company’s corporate campus overhead have been included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Since the presentation of these expenses changed January 1, 2023, management believes the presentation of the 2022 corporate campus overhead should be reclassified to selling, general, and administrative expense for comparison purposes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Envela and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities within the recommerce sector. These activities include being one of the nation's premier authenticated recommerce retailers of luxury hard assets; providing end-of-life asset recycling and resale to businesses, organization and retail consumers; offering data destruction and IT asset management; and providing products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial companies. Envela operates primarily via two operating and reportable segments. Our consumer segment, formerly known as the DGSE segment, operates DGSE, LLC (“DGSE”), Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange, Steven Kretchmer, Inc. (“Kretchmer”) and Bullion Express brands. Our commercial segment, formerly known as the ECHG segment, operates ECHG, LLC (“ECHG”), Echo Environmental Holdings, LLC (“Echo”), ITAD USA Holdings, LLC (“ITAD USA”), Teladvance, LLC (“Teladvance”), CEX Holdings, LLC (“CEX”) and Avail Recovery Solutions, LLC (“Avail”). Envela is a Nevada corporation, headquartered in Irving, Texas.

Table of Contents

On September 12, 2023, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Steven Kretchmer, Inc., an Arizona corporation for 300,000 (the “Kretchmer Transaction”). Based on the terms of the purchase, the Company has concluded the Kretchmer Transaction represents a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. The Kretchmer Transaction will be incorporated into the consumer segment. See Note 3 for additional information.

Our consumer segment primarily buys and resells or recycles luxury hard assets like jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, fine watches, rare coins and related collectibles, precious-metal bullion products, gold, silver and other precious-metals. We currently operate seven jewelry stores at both the retail and wholesale levels throughout the United States via its facilities in Texas and South Carolina. The Company purchased a new retail building in Arizona, but has not commenced operations as of September 30, 2023. The consumer segment is continuing to promote and build the Bullion Express brand into a leading on-line seller of bullion. Buying and selling items for their precious-metals content is a major method by which we are marketing our brands. The consumer segment also offers jewelry repair services, custom-made jewelry and consignment items, and maintains relationships with refiners for precious-metal items that are not retained for resale. We also maintain a presence in retail markets through websites, www.dgse.com, www.cgdeinc.com, www.stevenkretchmer.com and www.bullionexpress.com.

Our commercial segment primarily buys electronic components from business and other organizations, such as school districts, for end-of-life recycling and resell, or to add life to electronic devices by data destruction and refurbishment for reuse. We also recycle and resell electronics at the retail level. We focus on end-of-life electronics recycling and sustainability, and ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition, including compliance and data sanitization services. Teladvance, CEX and Avail operate as value-added resellers by providing offerings and services to companies looking either to upgrade capabilities or dispose of equipment. Like the consumer segment, the commercial segment also maintains relationships with refiners or recyclers to which it sells valuable materials it extracts from electronics and IT equipment that are not appropriate for resale or reuse. The commercial segment’s customers are companies and organizations that are based domestically and internationally.

For additional information on the businesses of both the consumer and commercial segments, see “Item 1. Business – Operating Segments” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. Notes payable approximate fair value due to the market interest rate charged.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (our “Common Stock”), is computed by dividing net earnings available to holders of the Company’s Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts requiring the Company to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding determined using the treasury stock method.

Table of Contents

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or earlier if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s goodwill is related to both of Envela’s segments. See Note 5 – Goodwill, for the further allocation of goodwill. Both segments have their own, separate financial information to perform goodwill impairment testing. As a result of the current market and economic conditions related to surging inflation and the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, in accordance with step 1 of the guidelines set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20-35-3A, management concluded there were no impairments of goodwill that resulted from those triggering events for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Management will continue to evaluate goodwill for the commercial and consumer segments. For tax purposes, goodwill generated from asset purchases is amortized and deductible over fifteen years. Goodwill generated from the Kretchmer transaction classified as a stock purchase, is not deductable for tax purposes.

Goodwill was allocated in connection with three commercial segment acquisitions of assets, and one acquisition made by the consumer segment. The acquisitions by the commercial segment consist of the assets now held by Echo on May 20, 2019 (the “Echo Transaction”), of the assets now held by Teladvance on June 9, 2021 (the “CExchange Transaction”) and of the assets now held by Avail on October 29, 2021 (the “Avail Transaction”). The preliminary goodwill associated with the Avail Transaction was $3,491,285, which was the initial purchase price less the approximate fair value of the net assets purchased. On May 31, 2022, an additional cash payment was made of $216,988 due to certain conditions being met concerning the cash balance upon a certain date. The cash payment increased goodwill for the Avail Transaction to $3,708,273. During fiscal year 2022 management also identified $2,736,000 of intangibles that were not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets. The separation of intangibles reduced the Avail Transaction goodwill to $972,272. As part of the Kretchmer Transaction, the consumer segment recorded goodwill of $300,000 as part of the initial purchase price allocation, which has not been finalized. There have been no other adjustments or impairment charges to goodwill. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, goodwill as reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $3,921,453 and $3,621,453, respectively.

Reclassifications

Prior period amounts included in current assets, for both right-of-use assets from operating leases and deferred tax asset, have been reclassified for current period presentation, to be included in non-current assets. The right-of-use assets from operating leases reclassified for December 31, 2022, amounted to 2.4% of the total assets at $1,683,060. The deferred tax asset reclassified for December 31, 2022, amounted to 2.0% of the total assets at $1,488,258.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard ASU 2016-13. The new accounting standard introduces the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses which will be based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss methodology for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments. The ASU is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2023, which includes interim periods within the reporting period. ASU 2016-13 was adopted by using a modified retrospective transition approach to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. There were no effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were no other new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023. There were no other new accounting standards or pronouncements that were issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2023 that the Company expects to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill	$	3,921,453	$	3,621,453

(1) The reduction in goodwill of $2,519,012 for fiscal 2022, is a combination of an additional cash payment made on May 31, 2022 of $216,988, increasing goodwill for the Avail Transaction, offset by the effect of identifying $2,736,000 of intangible assets that was not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets, reducing goodwill and increasing intangible assets. The increase in goodwill of $300,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is the addition from the Kretchmer Transaction. Goodwill was initially recorded at $300,000, and adjustments will be made once assets and liabilities are evaluated and quantified. There have been no other adjustments or impairment charges to goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

As stated in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, we updated our two reportable segments by renaming the ECHG segment to the “Commercial” segment and the DGSE segment to the “Consumer” segment. The segment name changes did not result in any change to the composition of the Company’s operations and therefore did not result in any changes to historical results. Our operations conducted by each of our segments are more specifically described below.

We determine our business segments based upon an internal reporting structure. The Company’s financial performance is based on the following segments: consumer and commercial.

The consumer segment includes Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, which has six operating retail stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (“DFW”), one retail location in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and one location in Phoenix, Arizona, as stated in a footnote to Note 6 – Property and Equipment, which has not yet been placed in service. Kretchmer has one retail location in Scottsdale, Arizona. The consumer segment also operates the on-line Bullion Express brand.

Table of Contents

The commercial segment includes Echo, ITAD USA, Teladvance, CEX and Avail. These five companies are involved in recycling and the reuse of electronic components.

A portion of certain corporate costs and expenses is allocated, including information technology as well as rental income and expenses relating to our corporate headquarters, to the business segments. These income and expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income, interest expense and income tax expense. The management team evaluates each segment and makes decisions about the allocation of resources according to each segment’s profit. Allocation amounts are generally agreed upon by management and may differ from arms-length allocations.

The following separates the consumer and the commercial financial results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

(1) Starting January 1, 2023, expenses previously classified as other expenses related to the Company’s corporate campus overhead have been included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Since the presentation of these expenses changed January 1, 2023, management believes the presentation of the 2022 corporate campus overhead should be reclassified to selling, general, and administrative expense for comparison purposes for the three months ended September 30, 2022. No other presentation changes have been made to prior periods.

NOTE 10 — REVENUE RECOGNITION

ASC 606 provides guidance to identify performance obligations for revenue-generating transactions. The initial step is to identify the contract with a customer created with the sales invoice or a repair ticket. The second step is to identify the performance obligations in the contract as we promise to deliver the purchased item or promised repairs in return for payment or future payment as a receivable. The third step is determining the transaction price of the contract obligation as in the full ticket price, negotiated price or a repair price. The next step is to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations as we designate a separate price for each item. The final step in the guidance is to recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

For the consumer segment, revenue for monetary transactions (i.e., cash and receivables) with wholesale dealers and the retail public are recognized when the merchandise is delivered, and payment has been made either by immediate payment or through a receivable obligation at one of our over-the-counter retail stores. Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of goods when retail and wholesale customers have fulfilled their obligation to pay, or promise to pay, through e-commerce or phone sales. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods.

Crafted-precious-metal items at the end of their useful lives are sold for its precious metal contained. The metal is assayed to determine the precious metal content, a price is agreed upon and payment is made usually within two days. Revenue is recognized from the sale once the performance obligation is satisfied.

Table of Contents

In limited circumstances, merchandise is exchanged for similar merchandise and/or monetary consideration with both dealers and retail customers, for which revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. When merchandise is exchanged for similar merchandise and there is no monetary component to the exchange, there is no revenue recognized. Instead, the basis of the merchandise relinquished becomes the basis of the merchandise received, less any indicated impairment of value of the merchandise relinquished. When merchandise is exchanged for similar merchandise and there is a monetary component to the exchange, revenue is recognized to the extent of the monetary assets received that determines the cost of sale based on the ratio of monetary assets received to monetary and non-monetary assets received multiplied by the cost of the assets surrendered.

The Company offers the option of third-party financing for customers wishing to borrow money for the purchase. The customer applies on-line with the third party and upon going through the credit check will be approved or denied. If accepted, the customer is allowed to purchase according to the limits set by the finance company. Revenue is recognized from the sale upon the promise of the financing company to pay.

Our return policy covers retail transactions. In some cases, customers may return a product purchased within 30 days of the receipt of the items for a full refund. Also, in some cases customers may cancel the sale within 30 days of making a commitment to purchase the items. Additionally, a customer may return an item for full refund if they can demonstrate that the item is not authentic, or there was an error in the description of the piece. Returns are accounted for as a reversal of the original transaction, with the effect of reducing revenues, and cost of sales, and returning the merchandise to inventory. The consumer segment has established an allowance for estimated returns based on our review of historical returns experience and reduces our reported revenues and cost of sales accordingly. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for returns remained the same at approximately $28,000.

A significant amount of revenue stems from sales to two precious metal refining and bullion partners. One partner constitutes 27.2% and 25.3% of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The second partner constitutes 11% and 9.9% of the revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. However, the Company believes that the products it sells are marketable to numerous sources at competitive prices.

The commercial segment has several revenue streams and recognizes revenue according to ASC 606 at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entities expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The revenue streams are as follows:

Outright sales are recorded when product is shipped and title transferred. Once the price is established and the terms are agreed to and the product is shipped and title is transferred, the revenue is recognized. The commercial segment has fulfilled its performance obligation with an agreed upon transaction price, payment terms and shipping the product.

We recognize refining revenue when our inventory arrives at the destination port and the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods that are identified in the customer contract. The initial invoice is recognized in full when our performance obligation is satisfied, as stated in the first sentence. Under the guidance of ASC 606, an estimate of the variable consideration that is expected to be entitled is included in the transaction price stated at the current precious metal spot price and weight of the precious metal. An adjustment to revenue is made in the period once the underlying weight and any precious metal spot price movement is resolved, which is usually around six (6) weeks. Any adjustment from the resolution of the underlying uncertainty is netted with the settlement due from the original contract.

The commercial segment also provides recycling services according to a Scope of Work (“SOW”). Services are recognized based on the number of units processed by a preset price per unit. Activity reports are produced weekly with the counts and revenue is recognized based on the billing from the weekly reports. Recycling services can be conducted at our facility, or they can be performed at the client’s facility. The SOW will determine the charges and whether the service will be completed at our facility or at the client’s facility. Payment terms are also dictated in the SOW.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable: We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. The new accounting standard introduces a new expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. We are required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss methodology for accounts receivable. This new methodology is effective for the fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023. We will record an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is primarily determined by an analysis of our trade receivables aging, using the new expected losses methodology. The allowance is determined based on historical experience of collecting past due amounts, based on the degree of their aging. In addition, specific accounts that are considered and expected to be uncollectable are included in the allowance. These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. The consumer segment had no allowance for doubtful accounts balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Some of the commercial segment’s customers are on payment terms, and although low risk, occasionally the need may arise to record an allowance for receivables that are deemed high risk using the new expected loss methodology. The commercial segment’s allowance for doubtful accounts, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $207,462 and $51,734, respectively. The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts ending September 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to the new forward looking methodology of estimating future expected losses.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. During fiscal 2022, management determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets could be utilized in the future. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $102,607 with $0 offsetting valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $1,488,258 with an offsetting valuation allowance of $0.

We account for our position in tax uncertainties in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a “more likely-than-not” standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. The guidance applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, we must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, we determine how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) We have not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 11 — LEASES

In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASC 842 requires us to use the interest rate that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. If we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in lease agreements, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. For leases one-year or shorter, lessees can elect not to record lease liabilities and right-of use assets and instead recognize the expense associated with the lease payments using the straight-line basis.

Table of Contents

The Company has nine operating leases as of September 30, 2023—five in DFW, two in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and two in Chandler, Arizona. The leases for the consumer segment are: 1) the flagship store located at 13022 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas expiring on January 31, 2027, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years, at the prevailing market rate for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity; 2) the Grand Prairie, Texas lease expiring June 30, 2027, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years; 3) the two leases for the Mt.

NOTE 15 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a corporate policy governing the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as that term is defined in the Instructions to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act (“Related Party”). Under this policy, all Related Party transactions are identified and approved prior to consummation of the transaction to ensure they are consistent with the Company’s best interests and the best interests of its shareholders. Among other factors, the Company’s Board considers the size and duration of the transaction, the nature and interest of the of the Related Party in the transaction, whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest and if the transaction is on terms that are at least as favorable to the Company as would be available in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Envela’s Board reviews all Related Party transactions at least annually to determine if it is in the Board’s best interests and the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to continue, modify, or terminate any of the Related Party transactions. Envela’s Related Person Transaction Policy is available for review in its entirety under the “Investors” menu of the Company’s corporate relations website at www.envela.com.

NOTE 16 — CONTINGENCIES

Inflation continues to adversely affect global economic business conditions. Future sales on products like ours could decline or fluctuate due to increased or fluctuating commodities prices, particularly gold. The Federal Reserve has continued raising interest rates to combat inflation and restore price stability and it is expected that rates will continue to rise at a slower and more deliberate pace through fiscal 2023. Although we are continuing to monitor and assess the economic effects of inflation, the ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change. In addition, the economic effects of the foregoing are subject to, among other things, the effect of government responses on our operations.

The global tension caused by the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and within the Middle East has upset the stability within the region of the former Soviet era block and the whole of the Middle East. This could lead to further volatility in global energy and other industries that could negatively impact our operations. The U.S. government has imposed sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls, which have impacted global supply chains. The impact of these measures, as well as other measures taken, as it concerns our operations is currently unknown.

Envela Overview

The Company operates through two recommerce business segments represented by customer designations. The consumer segment, formerly known as the DGSE segment, focuses on the recommercialization of luxury hard assets, and the commercial segment formerly known as the ECHG segment, focuses on the recommercialization of business IT equipment and electronic devices.

Through the consumer segment, the Company recommercializes luxury hard assets and operates the Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange, Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange, Kretchmer and Bullion Express brands. Through the commercial segment, the Company recommercializes business IT equipment and electronic devices and operates Echo, ITAD USA, Teladvance, CEX and Avail. Echo focuses on end-of-life electronics recycling and sustainability, ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition, including compliance and data sanitization services, and Teladvance, CEX and Avail operate as value-added resellers by providing offerings and services to companies looking either to upgrade capabilities or dispose of equipment. In addition to its operations through the consumer and commercial segments, Envela also leases unused space at its Company headquarters in Irving, Texas to third-party tenants.

Table of Contents

Consumer Segment Business Overview

The consumer segment is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and focuses on sustainable, authenticated recommerce of luxury hard assets, including diamonds. Its retail strategy is anchored in being an information resource for clients, bringing transparency to purchase and sale transactions, and offering value and liquidity to those seeking to buy, sell or trade jewelry, fine watches, diamonds, rare coins and currency as well as other valuables. The Company wholesales and retails these items through its Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange and Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange operations. Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange and Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange have specialized in buying and selling jewelry for almost 50 years, making our expert staff among the best in the business.

Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange also maintains a number of related operations, on-site jewelry and watch repair and restoration at its Dallas flagship location, and design of custom bridal and fashion jewelry. In addition, it also has a precious-metal bullion-trading operation that buys and sells all forms of gold, silver, platinum and palladium products, including United States and other government-issue coins, private-mint medallions, art bars and trade unit bars.

For additional information regarding the consumer segment, see “Item 1. Business – How We Organize Our Business – Direct-To-Consumer.” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

Consumer Segment Recommerce Activities

The Company operates a sustainable marketplace for preowned luxury goods. We buy and sell coins, diamonds, jewelry, and related accessories and other merchandise. Our ability to offer quality pre-owned goods at prices significantly lower than original retail prices attracts value-conscious customers. The consumer segment depends on purchasing products and materials from secondary markets. We are reliant on our ability to obtain an adequate supply of products and material at prices or other terms acceptable to us. The gross profit on sales of inventory depends primarily on our assessment of the purchase value at the time the property is purchased and our ability to sell that merchandise in a timely manner.

Consumer Segment Precious Metals Pricing and Business Impact

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from the adverse changes in market prices and rates. The nature of the consumer operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, specifically diamonds, platinum, gold and silver. We do not currently use derivatives to hedge these risks.

As a significant portion of our inventory and sales involve gold and jewelry, our results can be influenced by the market price of gold and diamonds. Our retail sales and gross margin could be materially impacted if prices of diamonds, platinum, gold, or silver rise so significantly that our consumers’ behavior changes or if price increases cannot be passed onto our customers.

Table of Contents

Because the consumer segment buys and resells precious metals, it is impacted by fluctuations and changes in precious-metal pricing which rises and falls based upon global supply and demand dynamics, with the greatest impact on us relating to gold as it represents a significant portion of the precious-metal in which we trade. Such fluctuations, particularly with respect to gold, which accounts for a majority of our merchandise costs, can have a significant impact on its earnings and cash availability.

We continue to monitor the economic impact on our operations from surging inflation and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Uncertainties exist that could affect our operations or cash flows in the future, such as continued inflationary environmental changes (including, but not limited to, labor, materials, and advertising costs). The Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified team members, organized retail crime, or the consumers’ ability to spend on discretionary categories.

Consumer Segment Growth and Expansion

Our continued strategy will be to expand the number of locations we operate through opening new (“de novo”) locations in both current markets within DFW and South Carolina. On May 4, 2023, the Company closed on a building, in Phoenix, Arizona, for $1,231,150 and continues to prepare the building to house our next retail location. We continue to search for other locations to expand. Our ability to add new stores is dependent on several variables, such as projected achievement of internal investment hurdles, the availability of acceptable sites, the regulatory environment, local zoning ordinances, access to capital and the availability of qualified personnel. We see opportunity for further expansion through de novo openings in the United States. The Company expects capital expenditures over the next twelve months including the potential purchase of additional properties.

On September 12, 2023, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Kretchmer. Based on the terms of the purchase, the Company has concluded the Kretchmer Transaction represents a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. The Kretchmer Transaction will be incorporated into the consumer segment.

Commercial Segment Business Overview

The commercial segment operates Echo, ITAD USA, Teladvance, CEX and Avail, through which it primarily buys and resells or recycles electronic components and IT equipment. Echo focuses on end-of-life electronics recycling and also offers disposal transportation and product tracking, ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition including compliance and data sanitization services and Teladvance, CEX and Avail operates as value-added resellers by providing offerings and services to companies looking to either upgrade capabilities or dispose of equipment. In addition, as a result of the CExchange Transaction, Teladvance offers its customers the ability to further offer their customers the ability to upgrade their old phones through a trade-in program supported by Teladvance. Like the consumer segment, the commercial segment also maintains relationships with refiners for which it sells extracted valuable materials from electronics and IT equipment deemed unsuitable for retail or wholesale customers.

Commercial Segment Recommerce Activities

A portion of the commercial business depends on obtaining products and material from secondary markets and is reliant on its ability to obtain an adequate supply of products and material at prices and other items acceptable to it. Although we believe that the long-term prospects for the industry remain bright, but because we do not have unlimited backlogs, our business can be promptly affected by short-term market fluctuations and supply limitations.

Table of Contents

Commercial Segment Metals Pricing and Business Impact

The commercial recycling business is affected by precious and other non-ferrous metal prices, which fluctuate based upon global supply-and-demand dynamics, among other things, with the greatest impact relating to gold. As discussed below, we have seen a recent decrease of recycled items, which we believe is primarily due to the supply chain problems downstream with our customers.

Commercial Segment Growth and Expansion

The commercial strategy is to expand both organically and through acquisitions. As an organization, we strive to deliver value through organic growth, high customer loyalty and retention as well as strategic acquisitions. We are committed to continuous innovation. Many of our clients have made commitments to going carbon neutral over the next few years and we see the potential to further expand key relationships as we partner with them in more ways to help them achieve their goal. With an emphasis on increasing recurring revenues and expanding our margins, commercially we believe our organic strategy will ultimately drive strong financial performance, including cash flow to support our acquisition strategy. Commercial’s business strategy has always included pursuing synergistic acquisitions, and we plan to continue to expand the business by making strategic acquisitions and regularly seeking suitable acquisition targets to enhance its growth.

For additional information regarding the commercial segment, see “Item 1. Business—How We Organize Our Business—Commercial Services.” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

Economic Conditions

Surging inflation, supply chain disruptions and the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have affected the recommerce business in unpredictable ways. There have been fewer customers raising money by selling items. For more information, see Note 16 to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in “Note 1 — Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report, we believe that the accounting estimates discussed below relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Inventories

The consumer segment inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). We acquire a majority of our inventory from individual customers, including pre-owned jewelry, watches, bullion, rare coins and monetary collectibles. We acquire these items based on our own internal estimate of the fair value of the items at the time of purchase. We consider factors such as the current spot market price of precious metals and current market demand for the items being purchased. The consumer segment supplements these purchases from individual customers with inventory purchased from wholesale vendors. These wholesale purchases can take the form of full asset purchases, or consigned inventory. Consigned inventory is accounted for on our balance sheet with a fully offsetting contra account so that consigned inventory has a net zero balance. The majority of our inventory has some component of its value that is based on the spot market price of precious metals. Because the overall market value for precious metals regularly fluctuates, these fluctuations could have either a positive or negative impact on the value of our inventory and could positively or negatively impact our profitability. We monitor these fluctuations to evaluate any necessary impairment to inventory.

Table of Contents

The Echo inventory principally includes processed and unprocessed electronic scrap materials. The value of the material is derived from recycling the precious and other scrap metals included in the scrap. The processed and unprocessed materials are carried at the lower of the average cost of the material during the month of purchase or NRV. The in-transit material is carried at lower of cost or NRV using the retail method. Under the retail method the valuation of the inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost to retail ratio to the retail value of the inventory.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have not identified critical accounting estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and would have a material impact on our results. For additional information, refer to Note 3 to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, where our significant accounting policies are more fully described.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

In this management’s discussion and analysis, we use supplemental measures of our performance, which are derived from our interim consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that providing these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our operating and financial performance. See the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA (defined below), in Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures below.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance. Because EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure as an overall assessment of our performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and for business planning purposes. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies. EBITDA means earnings before interest expense, other (income) expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to the presentation of net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Income tax expense, for both segments, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $317,967, an increase of $253,906, as compared to income tax expense of $64,061 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Currently, the Company has a deferred tax asset reflecting net operating losses brought over from prior years. Through fiscal 2022, there was an off-setting valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance was written off as of December 31, 2022. Starting January 1, 2023, the Company has a federal tax rate of approximately 21%, in addition to other state and local taxes, on net income. The effective income tax rate was 18.6% and 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Differences between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate are the result of state taxes, non-deductible expenses and changes in the valuation allowance in relation to the deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards, as was the Company’s case for the increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We expect our capital expenditures to total approximately $4,000,000 during the next 12 months. These expenditures will be driven by the purchase of additional equipment and potential property purchases by both segments seeking to expand the Company into other markets. The Company has an outstanding capital commitment of $100,000 to build-out the consumer building purchased in Phoenix, Arizona on May 4, 2023.

Our primary source of liquidity and capital resources currently consist of cash generated from our operating results and current borrowings, including the Truist Lewisville Loan, the TB&T Grapevine Loan, the TB&T Irving Loan, the TB&T Frisco Loan and two FSB loans. For more information, see Note 13 to our interim condensed financial statements, which is incorporated into this item by reference. In addition, on November 23, 2021, the Company secured a thirty-six month line of credit from Farmers State Bank of Oakley Kansas (the “FSB Facility”) for up to $3,500,000. The FSB Facility has an annual interest rate of 3.1%. We maintain the FSB Facility to help fund cash shortfalls that we may have from time to time. We do not currently anticipate the need of those funds for operations and do not currently have any amounts drawn against the FSB Facility as of September 30, 2023.

From time to time, we have adjusted and may further adjust our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management believes we have sufficient capital resources to meet working capital requirements. In the event of significant growth in retail and wholesale jewelry sales and recycling demand, whether purchases or services, our demand for additional working capital will increase due to a related need to stock additional jewelry inventory, increases in wholesale accounts receivable and the purchasing of recycled material. Historically we have funded these activities through operations. If additional working capital is required, we will seek additional loans from individuals or other commercial banks. If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted in order to meet unforeseen working-capital requirements.

We have historically renewed, extended or replaced short-term debt as it matures, and management believes that we will be able to continue to do so in the near future.

The Company leases certain of its facilities under operating leases. The minimum rental commitments, under non-cancellable operating leases, excluding imputed interest, as of September 30, 2023 are as follows:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Because we are a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to disclose the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness 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 September 30, 2023. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance of the foregoing.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
