Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the ~~Commission’s~~SEC’s rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016 (such fiscal year, “Fiscal 2016” and such~~2021 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022 (the “2021 Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K, the “Fiscal 2016 10-K”~~Report”). In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. ~~Certain reclassifications were made~~The information provided as of September 30, 2022 in these notes to the ~~prior year's~~interim condensed consolidated financial statements ~~to conform to the current year presentation.~~is unaudited.

~~Note~~NOTE 2 ~~- Principles~~— PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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

DGSE primarily buys and ~~sells~~resells or recycles luxury hard assets like jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, fine watches, rare coins and related collectibles, precious-metal bullion products, togold, silver and other precious-metals. DGSE operates seven jewelry stores at both the retail and wholesale ~~customers throughout~~levels in Texas and South Carolina. Buying and selling items for their precious-metals content is a major method by which DGSE markets itself. DGSE also offers jewelry repair services, custom-made jewelry and consignment items, and maintains relationships with refiners for precious-metal items that are not appropriate for resale. The Company also maintains a presence in the ~~United States~~retail market through its ~~facilities in South Carolina~~websites, www.dgse.com and ~~Texas, and~~www.cgdeinc.com.

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

Financial Instruments

~~Financial Instruments~~

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, trade receivables, ~~trade receivables related party,~~inventories, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, ~~accounts payable related party~~accrued expenses and ~~accrued expenses~~customer deposits and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term ~~maturity~~nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for the Company’s capital lease approximates fair value because the underlying instrument has an interest rate with current market rates. This instrument is not held for trading purposes.

~~On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with David Larson~~Notes payable and the Larson Group, LLC (David Larson and the Larson Group, LLC are collectively referred to as the “Buyer”). David Larson ran the wholesale watch division for the Company until his resignation on August 2, 2017. The Buyer purchased $675,000line of fine watches from the Company to be paid according to the Agreement. Monthly payments of principal and interest of $4,992.89 (amortized for 15 years at an interest rate of 4% per annum) with the outstanding loan and accrued interest payable to the Company on the maturity date of October 15, 2024. The carrying amount reported on the Company’s Note receivablecredit approximate fair value ~~because~~due to the ~~underlying instrument has an~~market interest rate ~~with current market rates. This instrument is not held for trading purposes.~~charged.

Earnings Per Share

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

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncement~~Goodwill

~~In May 2014,~~Goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or earlier if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s goodwill is related to ECHG only and not the entire Company. ECHG has its own, separate financial information to perform goodwill impairment testing at least annually or if events indicate that those assets may be impaired. As a result of the current market and economic conditions related to the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”), surging inflation and the war between Ukraine and Russia, in accordance with step 1 of the guidelines set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards ~~Board~~Board’s (“FASB”) ~~issued~~ Accounting Standards ~~Update No. 2014-09,~~~~Revenue~~Codification (“ASC”) 350-20-35-3A, the Company concluded there were no impairments of goodwill that resulted from ~~Contracts with Customers~~ (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflectsthose triggering events for the ~~consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle~~three and in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14,~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date~~, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard is to be applied retrospectively, with early application permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate goodwill for the ECHG segment. For tax purposes, goodwill is ~~evaluating the new standard, but does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements once implemented in 2018.~~amortized and deductible over fifteen years.

ECHG goodwill was allocated in connection with three acquisitions of the assets now held by Echo on May 20, 2019 (the “Echo Transaction”), of the assets now held by Teladvance on June 9, 2021 (the “CExchange Transaction”) and of the assets now held by Avail on October 29, 2021 (the “Avail Transaction”). The preliminary goodwill associated with the Avail Transaction was $3,491,285, which was the initial purchase price less the approximate fair value of the net assets purchased. There have been several adjustments made to goodwill concerning the Avail Transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. On ~~February 25,~~May 31, 2022, an additional cash payment was made of $216,988 due to certain conditions being met concerning the cash balance upon a certain date. The cash payment increased goodwill for the Avail Transaction to $3,708,273. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, a third party valuation company identified $2,736,000 of intangibles that were not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets that reduced the Avail Transaction goodwill to $972,272. There have been no other adjustments or impairment charges to goodwill. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, goodwill was $3,621,453 and $6,140,465, respectively.

~~Note~~There were no other new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and there were no other new accounting standards or pronouncements that were issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2022 that the Company expects to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 — ACQUISITION

On October 29, 2021, ECHG entered into the Avail Transaction to purchase all of the assets, liabilities and rights and interests of Avail for $4,500,000. The purchase was facilitated by an initial payment of $2,500,000 at closing, with the remaining $2,000,000 represented by an installment note (the “Avail Installment Note”) made by ECHG to the seller to be paid out by 12 quarterly payments starting April 1, 2022, of $166,667 each. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on this loan. The Avail Installment Note for the Avail Transaction does not bear interest but the imputed interest rate was determined to be 3.1%.

As part of the Avail Transaction, goodwill was preliminarily recorded as $3,491,284, which was the purchase price less the approximate fair value of the net assets purchased. On May 31, 2022, an additional cash payment of $216,988 was made due to certain conditions being met concerning the cash balance upon a certain date. The additional cash payment was not part of the Avail Installment Note of $2,000,000 from the initial closing of the Avail Transaction. The additional cash payment increased goodwill and the purchase price amount by $216,988, thereby increasing goodwill for the Avail Transaction to $3,708,273. On September 30, 2022, a third party valuation company identified $2,736,000 of intangibles as part of the Avail Transaction not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets. The intangibles identified of $2,736,000, decreases goodwill by $2,736,000 to $972,272, as shown in the purchase price allocation table below. The Avail Transaction was initially recorded as preliminary, but with the third party valuation complete, the purchase price allocation below is considered final. The Company’s goodwill is related to the ECHG segment. ECHG has its own separate financial information to perform goodwill impairment testing. The Company will evaluate goodwill based on cash flows for the ECHG segment. For tax purposes, goodwill is amortized and deductible over 15 years.

The reduction in goodwill of $2,519,012 for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, is a combination of an additional cash payment made on May 31, 2022 of $216,988, which increased goodwill for the Avail Transaction, offset by the effect of the third party valuation report identifying $2,736,000 of intangible assets that were not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets, reducing goodwill and increasing intangible assets.

These income and expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income, interest expense and income tax expense. Our management team evaluates each segment and makes decisions about the allocation of resources according to each segment’s profit. Allocation amounts are generally agreed upon by management and may differ from arms-length allocations.

The following separates DGSE’s and ECHG’s financial results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 11 — REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

The following disaggregation of total revenue is listed by sales category and segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

DGSE’s over-the-counter sales with the retail public and wholesale dealers are recognized when merchandise is delivered, and payment has been made either by immediate payment or through a receivable obligation at one of our retail locations. We also recognize revenue upon the shipment of goods when retail and wholesale customers have fulfilled their obligation to pay, or promise to pay through e-commerce or phone sales. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods. Crafted-precious-metal items at the end of their useful lives are sold to a refiner. Since the local refiner is located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we deliver the metal to the refiner. The metal is melted and assayed, price is determined from the assay and payment is made usually in a day or two. Revenue is recognized from the sale once payment is received.

DGSE also offers a structured layaway plan. When a retail customer utilizes the layaway plan, we collect a minimum payment of 25% of the sales price, establish a payment schedule for the remaining balance and hold the merchandise as collateral as security against the customer’s deposit until all amounts due are paid in full. Revenue for layaway sales is recognized when the merchandise is paid in full and delivered to the retail customer. Layaway revenue is also recognized when a customer fails to pay in accordance with the sales contract and the sales item is returned to inventory with the forfeit of deposited funds, typically after 90 days.

In limited circumstances, we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and/or monetary consideration with both dealers and retail customers, for which we recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. When we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and there is no monetary component to the exchange, we do not recognize any revenue. Instead, the basis of the merchandise relinquished becomes the basis of the merchandise received, less any indicated impairment of value of the merchandise relinquished. When we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and there is a monetary component to the exchange, we recognize revenue to the extent of the monetary assets received and determines the cost of sale based on the ratio of monetary assets received to monetary and non-monetary assets received multiplied by the cost of the assets surrendered.

The Company offers the option of third-party financing to customers wishing to borrow money for the purchase. The customer applies on-line with the financing company and upon going through the credit check will be approved or denied. If accepted, the customer is allowed to purchase according to the limits set by the financing company. Once the customer does purchase merchandise, based on their financing agreement, we record and recognize the sale at that point, based on the promise to pay by the finance company up to the customer’s approved limit.

We have a return policy (money-back guarantee). The policy covers retail transactions involving jewelry, graded rare coins and currency only. Customers may return jewelry, graded rare coins and currency purchased within 30 days of the receipt of the items for a full refund as long as the items are returned in exactly the same condition as they were delivered. In the case of jewelry, graded rare coins and currency sales on account, customers may cancel the sale within 30 days of making a commitment to purchase the items. The receipt of a deposit and a signed purchase order evidences the commitment. Any customer may return a jewelry item or graded rare coins and currency if they can demonstrate that the item is not authentic, or there was an error in the description of a graded coin or currency piece. Returns are accounted for as a reversal of the original transaction, with the effect of reducing revenues and cost of sales, and returning the merchandise to inventory. We have established an allowance for estimated returns related to sales based on historical returns and reduced our reported revenues and cost of sales accordingly. Our return allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 remained the same for both periods, at approximately $28,000.

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

Outright sales are recorded when product is shipped. Once the price is established and the terms are agreed to and the product is shipped, the revenue is recognized. Echo and ITAD USA (collectively, the “Echo Entities”) have fulfilled their performance obligation with an agreed upon transaction price, payment terms and shipping the product.

Table of Contents

	·	Echo recognizes refining revenue when our inventory arrives at the destination port and the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised goods that are identified in the customer contract. Ninety percent (90%) of our refining revenue is generated from one refining partner that has an international refining facility. This refining partner pays us sixty percent (60%) of our Invoice within five working days upon the receipt of the Ocean Bill of Lading issued by the Ocean Carrier. Refining revenue from an invoice is recognized in full when our performance obligation is satisfied when the inventory arrives at the destination. Under the guidance of ASC 606, an estimate of the variable consideration that we expect to be entitled is included in the transaction price stated at the current precious metal spot price and weight of the precious metal. An adjustment to revenue is made in the period once the underlying weight and any precious metal spot price movement is resolved, which is usually around six weeks. Any adjustment from the resolution of the underlying uncertainty is netted with the remaining forty percent (40%) due from the original contract.

	·	Hard drive sales by the Echo Entities are limited to customers who are required to prepay shipments. Once the commodity price is established and agreed upon by both parties, customers send payment in advance. The Company releases the shipment on the same day when payment receipt is confirmed, and revenue is recognized on day of shipment. If payment is received on the last day of the month and shipment goes out the following day the payment received is deferred revenue and recognized the following month when the shipment is made.

	·	Echolso provides recycling services according to a Scope of Work where services are recognized when promised services are rendered. We conduct recycling services at our Echo facility or at a client’s facility. The Scope of Work will determine the charges and whether it is completed on campus or off campus. Payment terms are also dictated in the Scope of Work.

Accounts Receivable: We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. When appropriate, we will record an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is primarily determined by an analysis of our trade receivables aging. The allowance is determined based on historical experience of collecting past due amounts, based on the degree of their aging. In addition, specific accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. DGSE had no allowance for doubtful accounts balance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Some of ECHG’s customers are on payment terms, and although low risk, occasionally the need arises to record an allowance for receivables that are deemed high risk to collect. We established an allowance for estimated uncollectable receivables related to sales based on historical collections. Our allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $75,000 and $1,582, respectively.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized.

We account for our position in tax uncertainties in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a “more likely-than-not” standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. The guidance applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, we must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, we determine how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) No additional liabilities have been recognized as a result of the implementation. We do not believe we have not taken a tax position that, if successfully challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 12 — LEASES

In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASC 842 requires us to use the interest rate that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment at the time of the lease signing. If we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in lease agreements, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate.

The Company has seven operating leases as of September 30, 2022—five in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, one in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and one in Chandler, Arizona. The lease for DGSE’s flagship store located at 13022 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas expires on January 31, 2027, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years, at the prevailing market rate for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity. The lease for DGSE’s Grand Prairie, Texas location was renewed starting July 1, 2022, expiring June 30, 2027, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The lease for DGSE’s Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina location expires April 30, 2025, with no additional renewal options. The lease for DGSE’s Euless, Texas location expires June 30, 2025, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The lease for ECHG’s Echo location on W. Belt Line Road, in Carrollton, Texas, expires January 31, 2026. The lease for ECHG’s Teladvance location, which also houses ITAD USA, on Realty Road in Carrollton, Texas expires January 31, 2027. The lease for ECHG’s Avail location in Chandler, Arizona expires May 31, 2025. All of the Company’s seven leases as of September 30, 2022 are triple net, for which it pays its proportionate share of common area maintenance, property taxes and property insurance. Leasing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $655,669 and $620,829 respectively. Leasing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1,938,392 and $1,516,262, respectively, comprised of a combination of minimum lease payments and variable lease costs.

As of September 30, 2022, assuming none of the extension options are exercised the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 2.5 years and 4.4%, respectively. The remaining lease term and discount rate are being averaged compared to the total leases. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $654,471 and $619,584, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $1,934,791 and $1,496,524, respectively.

~~Note 10 - Discontinued Operations~~

During the first half of 2014, the Company elected to discontinue the operations of Southern Bullion, due to the lack of profitability and management's belief that it was unlikely that profitability would be reached in the foreseeable future. The significant change in the precious metals market in 2013, including a 30% decline in the spot price of gold since the acquisition of Southern Bullion in 2011, had a disproportionately negative impact on the customer traffic, transactional volume and profitabilityregion of the ~~Southern Bullion~~former Soviet era block. This could lead to further volatility in global energy and other industries that could negatively impact our operations. ~~As a result, during 2013, the Southern Bullion~~The U.S. government has imposed sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls, which have impacted global supply chains. The impact of these measures, as well as other measures taken, as it concerns our operations generated a net loss of approximately $1.9 million. The operating results for all Southern Bullion operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.is currently unknown.

~~Results of Operations~~

~~General~~

We buy and sell jewelry, diamonds, fine watches, rare coins and currency, precious metal bullion products, scrap gold, silver, platinum and palladium as well as collectibles and other valuables. Our customers include individual consumers, dealers and institutions throughout the United States.

Many aspects of our business are impacted by changes in precious metals pricing which rise and fall based upon global supply and demand dynamics, with the greatest impact relating to gold. Fiscal 2016 saw the price of gold trending upward for the first half of the year and then falling losing seventy eight percent (78%) of that gain by year’s end, according to the London PM Fix. During the first quarter of 2017, gold prices rose again gaining ten percent (10%) by the end of the quarter. Despite the general unstableness in the price of gold, the demand for physical gold bars and coins increased worldwide during physical 2016 and the first three quarters of 2017 while the demand for jewelry firmed slightly. During the third quarter of 2017, gold prices started at $1,242 per ounce on July 1, 2017, rose to $1,347 per ounce in September and falling to $1,271 per ounce on September 30, 2017.Envela Overview

DGSE Business Overview

DGSE is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and focuses on sustainable, authenticated recommerce of luxury hard assets, including diamonds. Its retail strategy is ~~aiming at making this, once again, a significant impact on our revenue, profitability and long-term growth plans.~~

~~Following a leadership change~~anchored in ~~mid-December 2016, we eschewed the unsuccessful strategies of recent years and returned to our roots: buying and selling jewelry and timepieces at exceptional prices. Our strategy is to be~~being an information resource for clients, ~~bring~~bringing transparency to purchase and sale transactions, and ~~offer~~offering value and liquidity to those seeking to buy, sell or trade jewelry, fine watches, diamonds, rare coins and currency as well as other valuables. DGSE wholesales and retails these items through its Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange and Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange operations. DGSE has specialized in buying and selling jewelry for almost 50 years, making our expert staff among the best in the business.

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

For additional information regarding DGSE, see “Item 1. Business - Operating Segments - DGSE Segment.” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

DGSE Recommerce Activities

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

DGSE Precious Metals Pricing and Business Impact

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

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

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

We continue to monitor additional potential impacts of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors on our business, such as inflation and the conflict in Ukraine. Uncertainties exist that could continue to impact our operations or cash flows in the future, such as potential resurgence of COVID-19, further pricing and inflationary environmental changes (including, but not limited to, labor, materials, and advertising costs). The Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified team members, organized retail crime, or the consumers’ ability to spend on discretionary categories.

DGSE Growth and Expansion

Our continued strategy will be to expand the number of locations we operate through opening new (“de novo”) locations in both current markets of Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas and Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and potential new markets. Our ability to add new stores is dependent on several variables, such as projected achievement of internal investment hurdles, the availability of acceptable sites, the regulatory environment, local zoning ordinances, access to capital and the availability of qualified personnel. We see opportunity for further expansion through de novo openings in the United States. The Company expects capital expenditures over the next twelve months including the potential purchase of additional properties by DGSE.

ECHG Business Overview

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

ECHG Recommerce Activities

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

ECHG Metals Pricing and Business Impact

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

ECHG Growth and Expansion

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

For additional information regarding ECHG, see “Item 1. Business—Operating Segments—ECHG Segment.” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

COVID-19 and Economic Conditions

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the U.S. and global economies, and as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report, the COVID-19 pandemic also affected our business in a variety of ways beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, continuing through fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic, surging inflation, supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine have affected the recommerce business in unpredictable ways. There have been fewer customers raising money by selling items. For more information, see Note 17 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The full extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, surging inflation, supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine on the global economy generally, and on our business specifically, is currently unknown. A prolonged pandemic and recovery may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity in future periods.

We expect our capital expenditures to total approximately ~~$50,000~~$1,500,000 during the next ~~twelve~~12 months.

Our primary source of liquidity and capital resources currently consist of cash generated from our ~~flagship location at 13022 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas.~~operating results and current borrowings, including the Truist Lewisville Loan, the TB&T Grapevine Loan, the TB&T Irving Loan, the TB&T Frisco Loan, the FSB ECHG Loan and the FSB DGSE Loan, as well as the financing for the Avail Transaction through borrowings represented by the Avail Installment Note. For more information, see Note 14 to our interim condensed financial statements, which is incorporated into this item by reference. In addition, on November 23, 2021, the Company secured the FSB Facility, which is a thirty six month line of credit from Farmers State Bank of Oakley Kansas for up to $3,500,000. The FSB Facility has an annual interest rate of 3.1%. We maintain the FSB Facility to help fund cash shortfalls that we may have from time to time.

In the event of significant growth in retail and wholesale jewelry sales and recycling demand, whether purchases or services, our ~~flagship location~~demand for additional working capital will ~~help our customers~~increase due to a related need to stock additional jewelry inventory, increases in wholesale accounts receivable and the purchasing of recycled material. Historically we have ~~a better experience shopping with us at our main location.~~funded these activities through operations. If additional working capital is required, we will seek additional loans from other commercial banks.

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

The COVID-19 pandemic, surging inflation, supply chain interruptions and the war between Ukraine and Russia has adversely affected global economic business conditions. Future sales of products like ours have and may continue to decline or fluctuate due to increased or fluctuating commodities prices, particularly gold prices. Although we are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the foregoing, the ultimate impact, including the impact on our liquidity and capital resources, is highly uncertain and subject to change. The duration of any such impact cannot be predicted, and the Company believes additional liquidity may be necessary to support ongoing operations during this period of uncertainty. For more information, see Note 17 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

We feel that all funding requirements will come from operational cash flow for the next twelve months. From time to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management believes that if additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from individuals or from commercial banks. If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted in order to meet unforeseen working-capital requirements.

On July 19, 2012, we entered into the Loan Agreement with NTR, an affiliate of DGSE’s majority stockholder Elemetal, pursuant to which NTR, agreed to provide us with a guidance line of revolving credit in an amount up to $7,500,000. The Loan Agreement anticipated termination–at which point all amounts outstanding thereunder would be due and payable (such amounts, the “Obligations”)–upon the earlier of: (i) August 1, 2014; (ii) the date that is twelve months after we receive notice from NTR demanding the repayment of the Obligations; (iii) the date the Obligations are accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; or (iv) the date on which the commitment terminates under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the Loan Agreement, we granted a security interest in the respective personal property of eachCompany leases certain of its ~~subsidiaries. The loan carries an interest rate of two percent (2%) per annum for all funds borrowed pursuant to~~facilities under operating leases. For more information on the Loan Agreement. Proceeds received by us pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement were used for repayment of all outstanding financial obligations incurred in connection with that certain Loan Agreement, datedminimum rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases as of December 22, 2005, between DGSE and Texas Capital Bank, and additional proceeds have been used as working capital in the ordinary course of business. We incurred debt-issuance costs associated with the Loan Agreement totaling $56,150. The debt issuance costs are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over two years, and have been completely amortized. On February 25, 2014, we entered into a one-year extension of the Loan Agreement with NTR, extending the termination date to August 1, 2015, and on February 4, 2015, we entered into an additional two-year extension, extending the termination date to August 1, 2017, unless earlier terminated as described above. No debt issuance costs were incurred in relation to these extensions. All other terms of the agreement remain the same. As of September 30, ~~2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding balances of $0 and $0, respectively, drawn on the NTR credit facility.~~2022, see Note 12 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 9, 2016, DGSE and NTR Metals closed on the transactions contemplated by the Elemetal Agreement whereby DGSE issued NTR 5,948,560 shares of common stock for $0.41 per share in exchange for the cancellation and forgiveness of indebtedness and accrued interest totaling $2,438,910.Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On July 15, 2014, we received final notice from the Texas Comptroller of its consent to a payment agreement to pay amounts due by us under the Texas Comptroller’s decision (the “Decision”) in connection with the 2010 Sales Tax Audit (the “Payment Agreement”). As more fully discussed in the Legal Proceeding section of our Fiscal 2015 10-K, pursuant to the terms of the Payment Agreement, we agreed to pay approximately $1.1 million in taxes, penalties and interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Payment Agreement, we were to pay the agreed amount provided in the Decision over an 18-month period, which began with an initial payment of $325,000 in June 2014, followed by monthly payments of $47,000 until all agreed tax amounts, penalty and accrued interest are paid. This expense was fully accrued in Fiscal 2014, but based on the terms of the Payment Agreement, DGSE made payments of $47,000 per month through all of 2015. The final payment of $47,000 was submitted to the Texas Comptroller in January 2016 to fully satisfy the indebtedness associated with the 2010 Sale Tax Audit.

The Texas Comptroller conducted a second sales and use tax audit of our operations in Texas with respect to the period December 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013 and subsequently sent us a final assessment in November 2016 asserting that we owed an amount of $220,007 plus penalties and interest of $66,645 for a total payment of $286,652. On February 21, 2017, a Compromise and Settlement Agreement was reached between DGSE and the Comptroller’s Office to pay a lump sum payment of $261,490 on or before March 23, 2017. We paid the negotiated amount on March 2, 2017.

In March 2017, we received notice from the Texas Comptroller’s Office that we would have a sales and use tax audit for the time period of July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016. We expect the process to take all of 2017 and at this time, we are unable to determine if the Company has any sales tax exposure, therefore, we will not reserve for the quarterly report.

~~Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements~~

We do not have ~~no off balance-sheet~~any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.

~~Update on Proposed Acquisitions and Divestitures~~ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company continues to evaluate the acquisition of certain tangible personal-property assets of Elemetal Recycling, LLC as mentioned in the Company’s February 16, April 19 and July 6, 2017 press releases. The Company has been unable to obtain satisfactory financing to date but continues to pursue sources of financing and other matters with respect to the acquisition. The transaction is not expected to close in 2017. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the acquisition.

The Company is no longer pursuing the acquisition of the equity interests in National Pawn, Inc. and related affiliates (mentioned in the Company’s July 6, 2017 press release) because satisfactory third-party financing was not available.

The Company divested its wholesale watch division on September 22, 2017 (discussed in the Company’s July 6, 2017 press release) as part of its effort to streamline operations and focus its fine-watch business in the retail sector.

Table of Contents

In addition to what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, in March we received notice from the Texas Comptroller that we would have a sales and use tax audit for the time period of July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016. We expect the process to take all of 2017 and at this time, we are unable to determine if the Company has any sales tax exposure, therefore, we will not reserve for the quarterly report.ITEM 6.
