NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not contain all the information required by U.S. generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to be included in a full set of financial statements. The unaudited condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. The audited consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on March 15, 2023, include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations, cash flows, and balance sheets for such periods have been included in this Form 10-Q. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
The Company
Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (“Star Equity,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a multi-industry diversified holding company with two divisions: Construction and Investments. The Company previously had a Healthcare division which was sold on May 4, 2023, as further described in Note 16. “Subsequent Events.” Our common stock and preferred stock are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market exchange as “STRR” and “STRRP”, respectively.
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
At December 31, 2022, we identified certain conditions and events which in the aggregate required management to perform an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the financial statements issuance date. Management’s analysis indicated that there is no substantial doubt regarding the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the financial statements issuance date. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023 we achieved net income of $0.4 million and positive cash flow from operations of $5.1 million. As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.7 million and our investments in publicly traded companies amounted to $3.6 million. Additionally, as further discussed in Note 16. “Subsequent Events”, we received approximately $27 million in cash from the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023 and paid the full outstanding balance owed under the Webster Loan Agreement (as defined herein). In addition, we have given notice to eCapital (as defined in Note 7. “Debt”) that we will not be renewing our credit facilities with eCapital upon their June 30, 2023 expiration. We have projected positive cash flow generation for the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements. Our forecasts are dependent on our ability to maintain margins at our operating companies which includes achieving levels of booked orders, minimizing expenses and achieving certain free cash flow benchmarks. We have begun to explore certain financing arrangements, including sale and leaseback opportunities, subsequent to the date of these financial statements.There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into such a financing arrangement or as to the terms of any such financing arrangement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and judgments include those related to inventory, revenue recognition, lease accounting, fair value measurements (including contingent considerations), litigation and contingent liabilities, variable interest entities, intangible assets and goodwill valuations, equity classification and transactions, and income taxes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit loss by generally placing cash in high credit quality financial institutions. Cash balances are maintained primarily at major financial institutions in the United States, a portion of which exceed the regulatory limit of $250,000 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We have not experienced any credit losses associated with our cash balances. Additionally, we have established guidelines regarding diversification of our investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain principal and maximize liquidity. As of March 31, 2023 we have $4.4 million of cash in excess of FDIC insured limits

Mezzanine Equity
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of Star Equity (formerly Digirad Corporation) (the “Certificate of Designations”), upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock had the ability to require the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends (a “Change of Control Redemption”). As this redemption feature of the shares was not solely within the control of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock did not qualify as permanent equity and was classified as mezzanine or temporary equity. The Series A Preferred Stock was not redeemable and it was not probable that our Series A Preferred Stock would become redeemable as of June 2, 2022. Therefore, we were not previously required to accrete the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value.
On June 2, 2022, the Certificate of Designations was amended to include a “Special Optional Redemption Right” at the Company’s discretion and to extinguish the option of preferred stockholders to redeem preferred shares upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, as amended. As the redemption features of the Series A Preferred Stock are now solely within the control of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as permanent equity and has been reclassified to permanent equity effective June 2, 2022.
In addition to the foregoing redemption features, the Certificate of Designations also provides that we may redeem (at our option, in whole or in part) the Series A Preferred Stock following the fifth anniversary of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, at a cash redemption price of $10.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.
Refer to preferred stock dividends discussed in Note 12. Perpetual Preferred Stock.
New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted
No new accounting standards were issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
We present net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities, as the warrants are considered participating securities. We have not allocated net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to warrants because the holders of our warrants are not contractually obligated to share in our income (loss). Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated to give effect to all potential shares of common stock, including common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). In periods for which there is a net loss, diluted loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share, since the effect of including any common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Warranty Reserves
In our Healthcare division, we generally provide a 12-month assurance warranty on our gamma cameras. We accrue the estimated cost of this warranty at the time revenue is recorded and charge warranty expense to product and product-related cost of revenues. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience with failure rates and repair costs and the number of systems covered by warranty. Warranty reserves are depleted as gamma cameras are repaired. The costs consist principally of materials, personnel, overhead, and transportation. We review warranty reserves quarterly and make adjustments, as necessary.
Within our Construction division, KBS Builders, Inc. (“KBS”) provides a limited assurance warranty on its residential homes that covers substantial defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 12 months after delivery to the owner. EdgeBuilder, Inc. (“EdgeBuilder”) provides a limited warranty on the sale of its wood foundation products that covers leaks resulting from defects in workmanship for a period of twenty-five years. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized.

Lessor
Prior to the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023, we generated lease income in the Healthcare segment from equipment rentals to customers. Rental contracts were structured as either a weekly or monthly payment arrangement and were accounted for as operating leases. Revenues were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the rental. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our lease contracts were mainly month-to-month contracts.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy based upon the inputs to the valuation model of an asset or liability. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are significant and observable; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs to be used in situations where markets do not exist or illiquid. The following table presents information about our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilize to determine such fair value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

The investment in equity securities consists of common stock of publicly traded companies. The fair value of these securities is based on the closing prices observed on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and recorded in Investments in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an unrealized gain of $2 thousand and $92 thousand, respectively, recorded in other (expense) income, net in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We may enter into lumber derivative contracts in order to protect our gross profit margins from fluctuations caused by volatility in lumber price, recorded within current assets or liabilities in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded a net loss of $46 thousand and $0.2 million, respectively, in the cost of goods sold in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2023, we had a net long (buying) position of 5,500,000 board feet under 50 lumber derivatives contracts. As of December 31, 2022, we had a net long (buying) position of 550,000 board feet under 5 lumber derivatives contracts.

Webster Credit Facility
On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Webster Loan Agreement”) by and among certain subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers (collectively, the “Webster Borrowers”); the Company, as guarantor; and Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”). On February 1, 2022, Sterling became part of Webster Bank, N.A. (“Webster”), and Webster became the successor in interest to the Webster Loan Agreement. The Webster Loan Agreement was also subject to a limited guarantee by Mr. Eberwein, the Executive Chairman of our board of directors.
The Webster Loan Agreement was a five-year credit facility maturing in March 2024, with a maximum credit amount of $20.0 million for revolving loans (the “Webster Credit Facility”). In connection with the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023, we paid off the Webster Credit Facility in full, using the proceeds from the sale. Under the Webster Credit Facility, the Webster Borrowers were able to request the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $0.5 million at any one time outstanding. The borrowings under the Webster Loan Agreement were classified as short-term obligations under GAAP as the agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and required a lockbox arrangement whereby all receipts within the lockbox are swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and had additional borrowing capacity of $0.5 million under the Webster Credit Facility.
At the Webster Borrowers’ option, the Webster Credit Facility bore interest at either (i) a Floating LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Webster Loan Agreement, plus a margin of 2.50% per annum; or (ii) a Fixed LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Webster Loan Agreement, plus a margin of 2.25% per annum. Our floating rate on this facility at March 31, 2023 was 7.36%. The Webster Loan Agreement also provided for unused line fees and restricts the usage of borrowings under the line solely to support the Healthcare businesses, subject to certain limitations.
The Webster Credit Facility was secured by the assets of the Digirad Health businesses.
Financial covenants required that the Webster Borrowers maintain (a) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the last day of a fiscal quarter of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and (b) a Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.50 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2023, we believe that we were in compliance with the covenants under the Webster Loan Agreement.

eCapital Credit Facilities
EBGL
EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook Building Supply, Inc. (“Glenbrook” and, together with EdgeBuilder, collectively the “EBGL Borrowers”) are parties to a Loan and Security Agreement (the “EBGL Loan Agreement”) providing the EBGL Borrowers with a credit facility with eCapital Asset Based Lending Corp. formerly known as Gerber Finance, Inc. (“eCapital” for borrowings up to $4.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations (the “EBGL Loan”). As of March 31, 2023, EBGL had additional borrowing capacity of $2.8 million under the facility. Amounts outstanding bear interest, payable monthly, at the prime rate plus 2.75% and payments of outstanding principal are due in full upon maturity. The facility is subject to annual renewal and is currently set to mature on June 30, 2023 or earlier (as amended in the eleventh amendment to the EBGL Loan Agreement).
Financial covenants require that EBGL maintain (a) net income (as defined in the EBGL Loan Agreement) at least equal to no less than $0 for the trailing 6-month period ending June 30, 2022 and no less than $1,000,000 for the trailing fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and (b) a reduced minimum EBITDA (as defined in the EBGL Loan Agreement) to be no less than $0 as of June 30, 2022 and no less than $1,000,000 as of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
EBGL was in compliance with the bi-annual financial covenants under the EBGL Loan Agreement measured as of December 31, 2022.
KBS
KBS is a party to a revolving credit facility with eCapital (“KBS Loan Agreement”). The facility, as amended, provides for borrowings up to $4.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. As of March 31, 2023, KBS had additional borrowing capacity of $1.0 million under the facility. Amounts outstanding bear interest, payable monthly, at the prime rate plus 2.75% and payments of outstanding principal are due in full upon maturity. The facility is subject to annual renewal and is currently set to mature on June 30, 2023 or earlier (as amended in the Twenty First Amendment of the KBS Loan Agreement). The facility is secured by the assets of KBS and borrowings under the line are restricted for use to finance the operations of KBS.
Financial covenants require that KBS maintain (a) net income (as defined in the KBS Loan Agreement) of at least equal to no less than $0 for the trailing 6-month period ending June 30, 2022 and be no less than $500,000 for the trailing fiscal year end and (b) a minimum EBITDA (as defined in the KBS Loan Agreement) no less than $0 as of June 30 and no less than $850,000 as of the fiscal year end.
As of December 31, 2022, KBS was in compliance with the bi-annual financial covenants under the KBS Loan Agreement.
The eCapital credit facilities contain cross-default provisions and subjective acceleration clauses which may, in the event of a material adverse event, as determined by eCapital, allow eCapital to declare the loans immediately due and payable or increase the interest rate. The facilities are also subject to a guaranty by the Company and the Company is responsible for certain facility and other fees.
Borrowings under the eCapital credit facilities are classified as short-term obligations as the agreements contain a subjective acceleration clauses and require a lockbox arrangement whereby all receipts within the lockbox are swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding.
Term Loan
We and certain of our Investments subsidiaries (collectively, the “Star Borrowers”) are party to a Loan and Security Agreement with eCapital, as successor in interest to Gerber Finance, Inc. (as amended, the “Star Loan Agreement”), which provides for a credit facility with borrowing availability of up to $2.5 million, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 3.5% per annum, and matures on January 31, 2025, unless terminated in accordance with the terms therein (the “Star Loan”).
The following table presents the Star Loan balance, net of unamortized debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):
March 31, 2023 | ||||||||
Amount | ||||||||
eCapital - Star Loan Principal | $ | 770 | ||||||
Unamortized debt issuance costs | (61) | |||||||
eCapital - Star Loan Principal, net | $ | 709 |
19
The Star Loan, as amended, requires monthly payments of principal of $33 thousand plus interest at the prime rate plus 3% per annum through the earlier of maturity in January 2025 or the termination, maturity or repayment of any Obligations held with eCapital (as amended in the fourth amendment to the Star Loan Agreement).
The Star Loan is secured by the assets of SRE, 947 Waterford Road, LLC, 300 Park Street, LLC and 56 Mechanic Falls Road, LLC and guaranteed by the Company. The Star loan is subject to certain annual financial covenants. The financial covenants under the Star Loan Agreement include maintenance of a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1:00 to 1:00, as defined in the Star Loan Agreement. The occurrence of any event of default under the Star Loan Agreement may result in the obligations of the Star Borrowers becoming immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2022, no event of default was deemed to have occurred and the Star Borrowers were in compliance with the annual financial covenants under the Star Loan Agreement measured as of December 31, 2022.
The outstanding balance is classified as a short-term obligation as a result of the acceleration clauses within the EBGL and KBS credit facility and the cross-default provisions.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we have been and will likely continue to be subject to other litigation or administrative proceedings incidental to our business, such as claims related to compliance with regulatory standards, customer disputes, employment practices, wage and hour disputes, product liability, professional liability, malpractice liability, commercial disputes, licensure restrictions or denials, and warranty or patent infringement. Responding to litigation or administrative proceedings, regardless of whether they have merit, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. We are not able to predict the timing or outcome of these matters and currently do not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
The outcome of litigation and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may be difficult to ascertain. Among other things, uncertainties can include how trial and appellate courts will apply the law and interpret facts, as well as the contractual and statutory obligations of other indemnifying and insuring parties. The estimated range of reasonably possible losses, and their effect on our financial position is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as known and unknown uncertainties.
Note 9. Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before we are able to realize their benefit. We calculate the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets, when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. We continue to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Intraperiod tax allocation rules require us to allocate our provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of comprehensive income, such as discontinued operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded no income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $950 thousand income tax expense. The tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily relates to a January 2022 ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) which required us to establish an additional valuation allowance on net operating losses that the Company cannot utilize in the future.
As of March 31, 2023, we had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $2.4 million related to uncertain tax positions. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits were $2.0 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce our annual effective tax rate, subject to the valuation allowance.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in various state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. We are no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2018; however, our net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards arising prior to that year are subject to adjustment. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.

Note 10. Segments
Our reportable segments are based upon our internal organizational structure; the manner in which our operations are managed; the criteria used by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), to evaluate segment performance; the availability of separate financial information; and overall materiality considerations. Prior to the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023, our three business divisions were organized into the following three reportable segments to reflect the manner in which our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources:
1.Healthcare
2.Construction
3.Investments

Eberwein, relating to the issuance and sale of 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $3.25 per share pursuant to a private placement. As of March 31, 2023, Mr. Eberwein owned 2,983,685 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 19.64% of our outstanding Common Stock. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, Mr. Eberwein owned 1,222,458 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Note 12. Perpetual Preferred Stock
Holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if, authorized by the Company’s board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the Company’s board of directors) and declared by the Company out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, preferential cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum of the liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. Dividends are payable quarterly, in arrears, by the last calendar day of March, June, September and December to holders of record at the close of business on the first day of each payment month. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible and does not have any voting rights, except when dividends are in arrears for six or more consecutive quarters, then the holders of those shares together with holders of all other series of preferred stock equal in rank will be entitled to vote separately as a class for the election of two additional directors to board of directors, until all dividends accumulated on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the past dividend periods and the dividend for the current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment. Under change of control or other conditions, the Series A Preferred Stock may be subject to redemption. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a change of control, subject to certain conditions. The Company may also voluntarily redeem some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock on or after September 10, 2024.
On February 17, 2023, our board of directors declared a cash dividend to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $0.5 million. The record date for this dividend was March 1, 2023, and the payment date was March 10, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we have no preferred dividends in arrears.
Note 13. Equity Transactions
On January 24, 2022, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “2022 Public Offering”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as representative of the underwriters. Through the 2022 Public Offering, we issued and sold (A)(i) 9,175,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) an aggregate of 325,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 325,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) an aggregate of 9,500,000 common stock purchase warrants (the “Firm Purchase Warrants”) to purchase up to 9,500,000 shares of Common Stock and (B) at the election of Maxim, (i) up to an additional 1,425,000 shares of Common Stock and/or (ii) up to an additional 1,425,000 shares of common stock purchase warrants (the “Option Purchase Warrants”, and together with the Firm Purchase Warrants, the “Warrants”). Maxim partially exercised its over-allotment option for the purchase of 1,425,000 Warrants for a price of $0.01 per Warrant. Each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) was sold together with one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share and common warrant. Gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses and excluding any proceeds we may receive upon exercise of the Warrants, were $14.3 million and net proceeds were $12.7 million.
In addition, as part of the 2022 Public Offering, the Company issued to Maxim 237,500 common stock purchase warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase up to 237,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per common warrant. The Underwriter’s Warrants have an initial exercise date beginning July 19, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, of the warrants issued through the public offering we closed on May 28, 2020 (the “2020 Public Offering”), 1.0 million warrants were exercised and 1.4 million warrants remained outstanding, which represents 0.7 million shares of common stock equivalents, at an exercise price of $2.25. As of March 31, 2023, of the Warrants issued through the 2022 Public Offering, there were 10.9 million Warrants and 0.3 million prefunded warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $1.50 and $0.01, respectively. The Underwriter’s Warrants have not been exercised.
Note 14. Preferred Stock Rights
On June 2, 2021, the board of directors adopted a tax benefit preservation plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “382 Agreement”). The 382 Agreement is intended to diminish the risk that our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future federal income tax obligations may become substantially limited due to an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code. The board of directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2021. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $12.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
The rights will become exercisable following (i) 10 days after a public announcement that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the 382 Agreement); and (ii) 10 business days (or a later date determined by the board of directors) after a person or group begins a tender or an exchange offer that, if completed, would result in that person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.
22
In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, the exercise price of the rights would be adjusted and holders of the rights (other than rights owned by an acquiring person or group) would be entitled to purchase common stock at approximately half of market value. Given the potential adjustment of the exercise price of the rights, the rights could cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 4.99% or more of common stock on terms not approved by the board of directors.
No rights were exercisable at March 31, 2023. There is no impact to financial results as a result of the adoption of the 382 Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Note 15. Variable Interest Entity
VIE in which we are not the Primary Beneficiary
We have an investment in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of $0.3 million, recorded in Other Assets, in which we are not the primary beneficiary. This VIE is a small private company that is primarily involved in research related to new heart imaging technologies.
We have determined that the governance structures of this entity do not allow us to direct the activities that would significantly affect its economic performance. Therefore, we are not the primary beneficiary, and the results of operations and financial position of the VIE are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We account for this investment as non-marketable equity securities which is valued at cost less impairment.
The potential maximum exposure of this unconsolidated VIE is generally based on the current carrying value of the investments and any future funding commitments based on the milestone agreement and board approval. We have determined that the single source of our exposure to the VIE is our capital investment in them. The carrying value and maximum exposure of the unconsolidated VIE were $0.3 million as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we performed a qualitative assessment on the carrying value via inquiries with the board of directors and a review of the entity’s financial statements and determined that there have not been any impairment indicators to the carrying value.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
On May 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 4, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), by and among the Company, Digirad Health Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Digirad Health”), TTG Imaging Solutions, LLC., a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the “Buyer”), and the Buyer’s Parent, Insignia TTG Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Parent”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) the Buyer purchased 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of Digirad Health, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (ii) the Company contributed to Parent 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Digirad Health (the “Contributed Shares”) in exchange for New Units (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of Parent (the “Transaction”). The total aggregate consideration payable to the Company for the Transaction is $40 million, comprised of $27 million in cash, a $7 million promissory note, and $6 million of New Units in the Parent. The Company completed the sale of Digirad Health simultaneously with entering into the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Digirad Health that are customary for a transaction of this nature. The Purchase Agreement also contains indemnification obligations of the parties thereto. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has made a 336(e) election under the Code. In accordance with GAAP (ASC 205-20-45-1E), the Company evaluated the requirements needed to record the Digirad Health assets and liabilities as held-for-sale noting that for Q1 2023 “held and used” accounting was appropriate.
Concurrent with the Transaction, the Company terminated its debt with Webster by paying in full all amounts due at the Closing Date of the Transaction, which approximated $8.7 million. As a result of the Transaction, the Company no longer has a Healthcare division as of May 4, 2023.
On April 28, 2023, the Company gave notice to eCapital that it would not be renewing its credit facilities upon the expiry of the current extension to June 30, 2023. The Company paid in full all amounts outstanding on May 9, 2023 totaling approximately $0.8 million. The Company cancelled all eCapital credit facilities on May 9, 2023.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”), contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023.
The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.
Overview
Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (“Star Equity”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”) is a multi-industry diversified holding company with two divisions. Our operating division participates in Construction, a key industry sector of the economy. In addition, we have an internally funded Investments division. On May 4, 2023, we consummated the sale of Digirad Health, Inc. (“Digirad Health”). During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and until the sale of Digirad Health, we also had a Healthcare division in addition to our Construction and Investments divisions.
Our Healthcare division, which operated as Digirad Health until the sale of Digirad Health on May 4, 2023, provided products and services in the area of nuclear medical imaging with a focus on cardiac health. Digirad Health operated across the United States and comprises two lines of business—imaging services offered to healthcare providers using a fleet of our proprietary solid-state gamma cameras and the manufacturing, distribution, and maintenance of our proprietary solid-state gamma cameras.
Our Construction division is made up of three operating businesses: KBS Builders, Inc. (“KBS”), EdgeBuilder, Inc. (“EdgeBuilder”), and Glenbrook Building Supply, Inc. (“Glenbrook”), with the latter two managed together and referred to jointly as “EBGL”. KBS is based in Maine and manufactures modular buildings for installation principally in New England. EBGL is based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area and principally serves the Upper Midwest. Together, the EBGL businesses manufacture and deliver structural wall panels and other engineered wood-based products, as well as distribute building materials primarily to professional builder customers.
Currently, our Investments division is an internally funded unit directly supervised by Star Equity management. This entity currently holds our corporate-owned real estate, which currently includes our three manufacturing facilities in Maine that are leased to KBS. Also, this unit holds several minority investments in other small public companies.
As discussed in Note 16. “Subsequent Events”, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Contribution Agreement to sell Digirad Health to TTG Imaging Solutions (“TTG”) for $40 million, comprised of $27 million in cash, a $7 million promissory note and $6 million in common equity interests in the parent entity of TTG. Following the sale of Digirad Health, we are a diversified holding company composed of two divisions, Construction and Investments. The $7 million promissory note and $6 million in common equity of the parent entity of TTG will be assets in the Investments division.
Strategy
Star Equity
We believe our diversified, multi-industry holding company structure allows Star Equity management to focus on capital allocation, strategic leadership, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, investor relations, as well as management of our Investments division. Our structure frees up our operating company management teams to focus on their respective businesses, look for organic and bolt-on growth opportunities, and improve operations with less distraction and administrative burden associated with running a public company.
We continue to explore strategic alternatives to improve our market position and the profitability of our product offerings, generate additional liquidity, and enhance our valuation. We may pursue our goals through organic growth and through strategic alternatives. Some of these alternatives have included, and could continue to include, selective acquisitions of businesses, divestitures of assets or businesses, equity offerings, debt financings, or corporate restructuring.
24
Operating Business
We believe that our operating division is well positioned for growth in large addressable markets. The key elements of our growth strategy include the following:
•Organic growth from our core businesses. We believe that we operate in markets and geographies that will allow us to continue to grow our core businesses, allowing us to benefit from our scale and strengths. We plan to focus our efforts on markets in which we already have a presence in order to leverage the personnel, infrastructure, and brand recognition we have in these areas.
•Introduction of new services. In the Construction division, we will consider opportunities to augment our service offering to better serve our customer base. We have done this in the New England market with our entry into the commercial multi-family segment. Other areas might include logistics, on site installation, and manufacturing of sub-components.
•Acquisition of complementary businesses. We plan to continue to look at complementary businesses that meet our financial criteria for acquisitions to grow our Company. We believe there are many potential small public and private targets that can be acquired over time and integrated into our platform. We will also look at larger, more transformational mergers and acquisitions if we believe the appropriate mix of value, risk, and return is present for our stockholders. The timing of these potential transactions will always depend on market conditions, available capital, and valuation. In general, we want to be “value” buyers, and will not pursue any transaction unless we believe the post-transaction potential value is high for stockholders.
Current Market Conditions
We expect that the majority of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are now behind us. Since early 2021, the vaccine rollout has gradually allowed us to return to a more normal operating environment. Prior to our sale of Digirad Health, our Healthcare business had returned to pre-COVID levels. Our Construction business continued to benefit in 2022 and 2023 from a strong housing market on the demand side. Supply chains have improved, but the labor market remains tight.
The target market for our Healthcare products and services was comprised of cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, family practice physicians, hospitals, integrated delivery networks, and federal institutions in the United States that perform or could perform a diagnostic imaging procedure or have interest in purchasing diagnostic imaging products. Our Healthcare businesses operated in approximately 43 states.
The target customers for our Construction division include professional home builders, general contractors, project owners, developers, and design firms. Housing demand remained strong throughout 2022 and into 2023, despite large interest rate increases. Supply chains also improved. While still volatile, materials prices eased beginning in the second half of 2022. We benefited from having implemented both price increases and margin protection language in our contracts and this had a significantly positive effect on our profitability in 2023.
Trends and Drivers
In our Construction division, we continue to see a greater adoption of offsite or prefab construction in single-family and multi-family residential building projects in our target market. Our modular units and structural wall panels offer builders a number of benefits over traditional onsite or “stick built” construction. These include shorter time to market, higher quality, reduced waste, and potential cost savings, among others. 3D BIM software modeling and developments in engineered wood products offers greater design flexibility for higher-end applications. The need for more affordable housing solutions also presents a great opportunity for the continued growth of factory built housing.
Risks arising from global economic instability and conflicts, wars, and health crises could impact our business. In addition the inflation caused by such events may impact demand for our products and services and our cost to provide products and services.
Segments
Our reportable segments are based upon our internal organizational structure; the manner in which our operations are managed; the criteria used by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, to evaluate segment performance; the availability of separate financial information; and overall materiality considerations. Prior to the sale of Digirad Health on May 4, 2023, our three business divisions were organized into the following three reportable segments to reflect the manner in which our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources.
•Healthcare
•Construction
•Investments
25
Effective May 4, 2023, we have two reportable segments, Construction and Investments.
Healthcare
For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, we provide imaging systems, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing services, and the logistics required to perform imaging in their own offices, and thereby the ability to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services, which are primarily cardiac in nature. We provide imaging services primarily to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, and family practice doctors who typically enter into annual contracts for a set number of days ranging from once per month to five times per week. We offer a convenient and economically efficient cardiac imaging services program as an alternative to purchasing equipment or outsourcing the procedure to an imaging center.
In addition, we manufacture and sell our internally developed solid-state gamma cameras and imaging systems, as well as provide field services through camera maintenance contracts. Our imaging systems include nuclear cardiac imaging systems, as well as general purpose nuclear imaging systems. We sell our imaging systems and service contracts to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally. Our imaging systems are sold in both portable and fixed configurations, provide enhanced operability and improved patient comfort, fit easily into floor spaces as small as seven feet by eight feet, and facilitate the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures in a physician’s office, an outpatient hospital setting, or within multiple departments of a hospital (e.g., emergency and operating rooms).
Diagnostic imaging depictions of the internal anatomy or physiology are generated primarily through non-invasive means. Diagnostic imaging facilitates the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the scope, cost, and amount of care required and reducing the need for more invasive procedures. Currently, the major types of non-invasive diagnostic imaging technologies available are: ultrasound and nuclear imaging. The most widely used imaging acquisition technology utilizing gamma cameras is single photon emission computed tomography, or “SPECT”. All of our current internally-developed cardiac gamma cameras employ SPECT technology.
Construction
Through this segment, we service residential and commercial construction projects through our KBS, EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook brands, through which we manufacture modular housing units, structural wall panels, permanent wood foundation systems and other engineered wood products, as well as supply general contractors with building materials.
KBS is a Maine-based manufacturer that started operations in 2001 as a manufacturer of modular homes. KBS offers products for both multi-family and single-family residential buildings with a focus on customization to suit the project requirements and provide engineering and design expertise. We market our modular homes through a direct sales organization and through inside sales, outside sales, a network of independent dealers, builders, and contractors in the New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). KBS’s direct sales organization is responsible for all commercial building projects, and works with developers, architects, owners, and general contractors to establish the scope of work, terms of payment, and general requirements for each project. KBS’s sales people also work with independent dealers, builders, and contractors to accurately configure and place orders for residential homes for their end customers. KBS’s network of independent dealers and contractors do not work with us exclusively, although some have KBS model homes on display at their retail centers. KBS’s backlog and pipeline, along with its market initiatives to build more workforce housing, are expected to position KBS for continued growth, particularly in the multi-family arena.
EdgeBuilder is a manufacturer of structural wall panels, permanent wood foundation systems and other engineered wood products and conducts its operations in Prescott, Wisconsin. EdgeBuilder markets its engineered structural wall panels and permanent wood foundation systems through direct sales people and a network of builders, contractors and developers in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul areas. EdgeBuilder’s direct sales organization is responsible for both residential and commercial projects and it works with general contractors, developers and builders to provide bids and quotes for specific projects. Our marketing efforts include participation in industry trade shows, production of product literature, and sales support tools. These efforts are designed to generate sales leads for our independent builders and dealers, and direct salespeople.
Glenbrook is a supplier of lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, roofing, decking and other building materials to professional builders and conducts its operations in Oakdale, Minnesota. EdgeBuilder and Glenbrook operate as one business with a single management team and we refer to them together as EBGL.
26
Investments
We have begun to expand our investments activities and have established minority positions in the equity securities of a small number of publicly traded companies. We also hold 3 real estate assets in our portfolio, all of which we lease to our construction subsidiary, KBS. These include their principal production facility in South Paris, ME. Additionally, as discussed in Note 16. Subsequent Events, the $7 million promissory note and $6 million in common equity in the parent entity of TTG will be assets in the Investments division.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our revenue and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider them to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.1 million, as compared to $0.6 million in net cash used in operating activities in 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is attributable to better operating performance, particularly at our Construction Division, higher collections of accounts receivable, and lower working capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million, which principally consists of purchases of equity securities and investment securities. In 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million, which was primarily attributable to the purchases of equity securities in our investments division of $1.1 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $12.6 million in 2022. 2023 cash used in financing activities included net debt repayments of $3.3 million. 2022 cash provided by financing activities included net proceeds of $12.7 million raised in our 2022 public equity offering.
Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, cash available on our revolving lines of credit from our credit facility with Webster Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Webster”), as successor in interest to Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”), our three credit facilities with eCapital, and cash raised from equity financings. As of March 31, 2023, we had $5.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. The eCapital facilities directly support our Construction businesses. As of March 31, 2023, we have additional borrowing capacity of $1.0 million outstanding on the KBS revolver. We were at $0.0 million outstanding balance and have additional borrowing capacity of $2.8 million on the EBGL revolver. The eCapital facilities have loan limits of $4.0 million each. As of March 31, 2023, we had a $7.7 million outstanding balance and an additional borrowing capacity of $0.5 million on the Webster Credit Facility. In connection with the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023, we paid the Webster Credit Facility in full, using the proceeds from the sale.
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
At December 31, 2022, we identified certain conditions and events which in the aggregate required management to perform an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the financial statements issuance date. Management’s analysis indicated that we would be able to continue as a going concern for one year from the financial statements issuance date. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023 we have achieved net income of $0.4 million and positive cash flow from operations of $5.1 million. As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.7 million and our investments in publicly traded companies amounted to $3.6 million. We believe that we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Webster Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2023. Additionally, as further discussed in Note 16. Subsequent Events, we received approximately $27 million in cash from the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023 and paid the outstanding balance of $8.7 million owed under the Webster Loan Agreement. We have given notice to eCapital that we will not be renewing our credit facilities with eCapital upon their June 30, 2023 expiration. We project positive cash flow generation for the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements. Our forecasts are dependent on our ability to maintain margins at our operating companies which includes achieving levels of booked orders, minimizing expenses and generating certain free cash flow benchmarks. We have begun to explore certain financing arrangements, including sale and leaseback opportunities, subsequent to the date of these financial statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into such a financing arrangement or as to the terms of any such financing arrangement.

Common Stock Equity Offering
On May 28, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “2020 Public Offering”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters. The 2020 Public Offering was for 2,225,000 shares of our common stock, and 2,225,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,112,500 additional shares of our common stock. The 2020 Public Offering price was $2.24 per share of common stock and $0.01 per accompanying Warrant (for a combined offering price of $2.25). Gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses and excluding any proceeds we may receive upon exercise of the common warrants, were $5.5 million and net proceeds were $5.2 million.
As noted above, on January 24, 2022, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “2022 Public Offering”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters. The 2022 Public Offering was for 9,500,000 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock in lieu thereof) and warrants to purchase up to 9,500,000 shares of common stock (the “common warrants”). Each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) was sold together with one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share and common warrant. Additionally, Company issued to Maxim 237,500 common stock purchase warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase up to 237,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per common warrant. Gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses and excluding any proceeds we may receive upon exercise of the common warrants, were $14.3 million and net proceeds were $12.7 million.
As of March 31, 2023, of the warrants issued through the 2020 Public Offering, 1.0 million warrants were exercised and 1.4 million warrants remained outstanding, which represents 0.7 million shares of common stock equivalents, at an exercise price of $2.25. As of March 31, 2023, of the Warrants issued through the 2022 Public Offering, there were 10.9 million Warrants and 0.3 million prefunded warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $1.50 and $0.01, respectively. The Underwriter’s Warrants have not been exercised.

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Webster Loan Agreement”) by and among certain subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers (collectively, the “Webster Borrowers”); the Company, as guarantor; and Sterling. On February 1, 2022, Sterling became part of Webster, and Webster became the successor in interest to the Webster Loan Agreement. The Webster Loan Agreement was also subject to a limited guarantee by Mr. Eberwein, the Executive Chairman of our board of directors.
The Webster Loan Agreement was a five-year credit facility maturing in March 2024, with a maximum credit amount of $20.0 million for revolving loans (the “Webster Credit Facility”). In connection with the sale of our Healthcare business on May 4, 2023, we paid off the Webster Credit Facility in full, using the proceeds from the sale. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and had additional borrowing capacity of $0.5 million under the Webster Credit Facility. Financial covenants required that the borrowers under the Webster Loan Agreement maintain (a) a fixed charge coverage ratio as of the last day of a fiscal quarter of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 and (b) a leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.50 to 1.0.

As of March 31, 2023, EBGL had additional borrowing capacity of $2.8 million under the facility. As of December 31, 2022, the most recent measurement period, EBGL was in compliance with the bi-annual financial covenants under the EBGL Loan Agreement.

Term Loan
We and certain of our Investments subsidiaries (collectively, the “Star Borrowers”) are party to a Loan and Security Agreement with eCapital, as successor in interest to Gerber Finance, Inc. (as amended, the “Star Loan Agreement”), which provides for a credit facility with borrowing availability of up to $2.5 million, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 3.5% per annum, and matures on January 1, 2025, unless terminated in accordance with the terms therein (the “Star Loan”). As of March 31, 2023, the short term loan includes $0.7 million of the Star Loan, net of issuance costs.
The Star Loan is secured by the assets of SRE, 947 Waterford Road, LLC, 300 Park Street, LLC and 56 Mechanic Falls Road, LLC and guaranteed by the Company. The Star loan is subject to certain annual financial covenants. The financial covenants under the Star Loan Agreement include maintenance of a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1:00 to 1:00, as defined in the Star Loan Agreement. The occurrence of any event of default under the Star Loan Agreement may result in the obligations of the Star Borrowers becoming immediately due and payable.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports 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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter 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
See Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies, within the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
In evaluating us and our Common Stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which we filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023. Except as noted below, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of the risks disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Our business strategy includes acquisitions, and acquisitions entail numerous risks, including the risk of management diversion and increased costs and expenses, all of which could negatively affect the Company’s profitability.
Our business strategy includes, among other things, strategic acquisitions, as well as potential opportunistic acquisitions and strategic actions with respect to our existing investments, such as restructurings, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and activist activity. This overall acquisition and investment strategy entails several risks, including the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, the incurrence of substantial legal and other advisory fees (including, in the case of activist activity, proxy solicitation fees) and the potential need to finance such acquisitions with additional equity and/or debt. Additionally, to the extent that we are already invested in the entities that are the subject of our acquisitions and other activities, our actions may be temporarily disruptive to the value of the investments, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
In addition, once completed, acquisitions may entail further risks, including: unanticipated costs and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including environmental liabilities, that could materially adversely affect our results of operations. These include: increased regulatory compliance relating to the acquired business; difficulties in assimilating acquired businesses, their personnel and their financial reporting systems, which would prevent the expected benefits from the transaction from being realized within the anticipated timeframe; negative effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; and loss of key employees of the acquired businesses. In addition, any future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt and related interest expense, contingent liabilities and amortization expense related to intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows, or the issuance of additional equity, which could dilute our stockholder’s equity interests.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate any pending acquisition successfully, receive the required approvals for any acquisition or otherwise conclude any acquisition successfully, or that any acquisition will achieve the anticipated synergies or other positive results. Overall, if our acquisition strategy is not successful or if acquisitions are not well integrated into our existing operations, the Company’s profitability, business, and financial condition could be negatively affected.
We may sustain losses in our investment portfolio, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
A portion of our assets consists of equity securities which are adjusted to fair value each period, as well as other investments. An adverse change in economic conditions or setbacks to such companies, their operations or business models may result in a decline in the value of these investments. Such declines in value are principally recognized in net income or loss in accordance with GAAP. Any adverse changes in the financial markets and declines in value of our investments may result in additional losses and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
