Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Note 1 – Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Imperalis Holding Corp. (the “Company” or “IMHC”), a Nevada corporation formed on April 5, 2005, is a holding company headquartered at 11411 Southern Highlands Pkwy, Suite 240, Las Vegas, NV 89141. The Company seeks to acquire businesses with high growth potential in diverse industries to multiply rates of return through synergism and consolidating management and accounting information systems.

The Company also holds three subsidiaries whose operations are currently dormant, CannaCure Sciences, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, The Crypto Currency Mining Company, a Wyoming corporation, and Dollar Shots Club, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Imperalis Holding Corp., CannaCure Sciences Inc., The Crypto Currency Mining Company and Dollar Shots Club, Inc. The operations of CannaCure Sciences Inc., The Crypto Currency Mining Company and Dollar Shots Club, Inc. are currently dormant. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired during the respective periods are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of the acquisition.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounting for depreciation and amortization, intangible assets, business combinations, equity transactions, and contingencies.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid accounts with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in US banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on bank deposit accounts.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. The Company has 20,512,908 and 17,767,200 of potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 related to convertible notes payable and accrued interest, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation-Stock Compensation.

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted cash flows estimated to be held and used are adjusted to their estimated fair value, less estimated selling expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized no impairment of fixed assets and intangibles.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Certain new accounting pronouncements that have been issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 – Other Receivable

Other receivable of $11,150 at March 31, 2022 represents amounts due from Vincent Andreula, the former chief executive officer of the Company in accordance with the sales purchase agreement.

Note 3 – Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized the issuance of up to 20,000 shares of $0.001 par value Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is preferred as to dividends and liquidation over common stock, has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and has a dividend rate of 12% of liquidation value per year. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Series E Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

On January 13, 2021 and February 22, 2021, the Company issued a total 9,284,445 shares of common stock upon conversion of an outstanding convertible note with a principal balance of $40,000 and $6,422 of accrued interest. The Company did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising in connection with the issuance of the note, and the noteholder was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 under Regulation D.

Note 4 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring net losses, has negative working capital and operations have not provided cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations to cover its operating expenses and meet its current obligations. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely through the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other sources, including term notes until such time as funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party

Inc and the Company are subsidiaries of BitNile Holdings, Inc and Darren Magot who serves as the chief executive officer of the Company is also the chief executive officer of Ault Alliance, Inc. As a result, DPL is deemed a related party.

On December 15, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with DPL, pursuant to which the Company issued the convertible note  to DPL, in the principal amount of $101,529, in exchange for the promissory notes  issued to DPL in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000, which promissory notes had accrued interest of $1,529 as of the closing date. The convertible note accrues interest at 10% per annum, is due on December 15, 2023, and the principal, together with any accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of principal, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at DPL’s option at a conversion price of $0.01 per share.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total outstanding principal balance on the convertible notes payable – related party was $101,529 and nil, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the convertible notes payable – related party had accrued interest of $2,989 and $451, respectively.

Convertible Notes Payable

On February 3, 2021 and January 14, 2021, the Company received $25,000 and $20,000, respectively, of financing from Opportunity Fund, LLC under a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”). The Note allows for advances up to maximum amount of $75,000, bears interest at eight percent (10%) per annum, and is due one year from the date of issue. An Amendment to the Note dated May 11, 2022 but effective as of January 14, 2022 extended the maturity to January 14, 2024. The Note is convertible at a conversion price of $0.005 per share, with conversions limited such that no conversions will be allowed to the extent that, following such conversion, the noteholder would become the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of our common stock. The convertible note payable resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $45,000 which was recorded as a debt discount. The discount was amortized through the original maturity dates.

On October 18, 2019, the Company received an $18,000 loan from Intermarket Associates, LLC. The Loan had a one year term and interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Principal and interest payments will accrue until conversion of promissory note. The convertible note payable resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $18,000 which was recorded as a debt discount. The discount was amortized through the maturity date. This note was convertible to common stock at a price of $0.005 per share. The note matured on October 18, 2020 and was retired on December 7, 2021.

On May 22, 2019, the Company received a $20,000 loan from Intermarket Associates, LLC. The Loan had a one year term and interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Principal and interest payments will accrue until conversion of promissory note. This note was convertible to common stock at a price of $0.005 per share.

Note 6 – Subsequent Events

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Plan of Operations

The Company has no operations from a continuing business other than the expenditures related to running the Company and has no revenue from continuing operations as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

On March 20, 2022, BitNile Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: NILE), a diversified holding company (“BitNile”) and its subsidiary TurnOnGreen, Inc., an electronic vehicle (“EV”) charging and power solutions company (“TurnOnGreen”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Imperalis, whereby TurnOnGreen will, upon closing, become a subsidiary of Imperalis (the “Acquisition”). Upon completion of the Acquisition, which is contingent upon the completion of an audit of TurnOnGreen and each party’s satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions set forth in the SPA, Imperalis will change its name to TurnOnGreen and, through an upstream merger whereby the current TurnOnGreen shall cease to exist, have two operating subsidiaries, TOG Technologies Inc. and Digital Power Corporation. Promptly following the closing of the Acquisition, Imperalis will dissolve its three dormant subsidiaries. Subsequent to the Acquisition, should it close, BitNile will assist TurnOnGreen in pursuing an uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to Nasdaq’s seasoning rules and other criteria for listing. BitNile anticipates that stockholders of BitNile will in due course receive a dividend of securities of TurnOnGreen. BitNile expects to distribute to BitNile stockholders approximately 140 million of its common shares and an equal number of warrants to purchase such shares of TurnOnGreen at the time of the record date to be set therefor, subject to regulatory approval and compliance with US federal securities laws. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, TurnOnGreen will continue to be led by its Chief Executive Officer, Amos Kohn and its Chief Revenue Officer, Marcus Charuvastra.

Management intends, should the Acquisition not close, to explore and identify business opportunities within the U.S., including a potential acquisition of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase, or similar transaction. Our Chief Executive Officer has a degree of experience in business consulting and reverse mergers, though no assurances can be given that he can identify and implement a viable business strategy or that any such strategy will result in revenues or profits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies.

We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide revenue or cash flow. During the next 12-month period we anticipate incurring costs in connection with the Acquisition or, should the Acquisition not be consummated, in investigating, evaluating, negotiating and consummating the potential acquisition of a suitable target company, as well as filing all requisite SEC reports.

Given our limited capital resources, we may consider an acquisition of an entity that has recently commenced operations, is a developing company or is otherwise in need of additional funds for the development of new products or services or expansion into new markets, or is an established business experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Alternatively, a transaction may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an entity that desires access to the U.S. capital markets.

Any target business that is selected may be financially unstable or in the early stages of development. In such event, we expect to be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or early-stage entity. In addition, we may effect an acquisition with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk or in which our management has limited experience, and, though our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

Our management anticipates that we will likely only be able to effect one acquisition due to our limited capital. This lack of diversification will likely pose a substantial risk in investing in the Company for the indefinite future because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture or operating territory against gains from another. The risks we face will likely be heightened to the extent we acquire a business operating in a single industry or geographical region.

Based upon our current operations, we do not have sufficient working capital to fund our operations over the next 12 months. If we are able to close a reverse merger, it is likely we will need capital as a condition of closing that acquisition. Because of the uncertainties, we cannot be certain as to how much capital we need to raise or the type of securities we will be required to issue. In connection with a reverse merger, we will be required to issue a controlling block of our securities to the target’s shareholders which will be very dilutive. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next 12 months, principally costs related to operating any target company that we may acquire and filing reports with the SEC. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model, recognition of revenue sources, and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, develop, implement, and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenue and Gross Profit

The Company had no revenue or gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, general and administration expenses consisted of accounting fees, legal fees and filing fees of $5,500, $2,880 and $1,265, respectively. These costs were mainly incurred in connection with debt financing, SEC related fillings and Exchange Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, general and administration expenses consisted mainly of legal fees and utilities of $20,000 and $1,554, respectively. The legal fees were mainly incurred in connection with debt financing

Owner’s compensation incurred in prior year represents a one-time payment of $25,000 to our former chief executive officer for services rendered.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, amortization of debt discount on convertible note payable decreased by $6,458, or over 69%, because of partial amortization in the current period relative to a full three month amortization in the prior period.

Interest expense – related party consisted of interest expense on convertible note payable. Increase in interest expense by $2,538 or 100% is mainly attributed to convertible note payable financing issued in December 2021.

Interest expense consisted of interest expense on note payable and convertible note payable. Decrease in interest expense by $1,551 or 49% is mainly attributed to settlement of note payable and convertible notes payable that matured during 2021.

Net Loss

We realized a net loss of $16,729 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $61,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease in net loss of $44,381, or 73%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $3,859 in our operating bank account and $491 in our trust account. To date, our liquidity has been satisfied through proceeds received from issuance of note payables, convertible note payables and shareholder loans. Control of our company was sold on December 16, 2021 to an activist investor who has a strong track record of raising public and private debt. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of an acquisition or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using our cash for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target companies, performing due diligence on prospective target companies, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target company to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the acquisition of the target company.

Critical Accounting Estimates 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies; however, materially different amounts may be reported under different conditions or using assumptions different from those that we have applied. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations pertain valuation of inventories, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. The application of each of these critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed In Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, from which there have been no material changes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Our management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. Our management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Because we are a smaller reporting company, this section is not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2022, our management, with the participation and supervision of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to or aware of any proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
