Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “goals,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s expectations as of the date of this filing and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described throughout this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, particularly the “Risk Factors” sections of such reports. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any duty to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited 2021 financial statements contained in the above referenced Form 10-K. Results of the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.

~~F-8~~

Significant Accounting Policies

~~There~~Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes into the Company’s significant accounting policies ~~to those~~ previously disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Business Combination

The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

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

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing properties, as further defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Natural Gas. Under this method, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties are capitalized. The costs of non-producing mineral interests and associated acquisition costs are capitalized as unproved properties pending the results of leasing efforts and drilling activities of exploration and production (“E&P”) operators on our interests. As unproved properties are determined to have proved reserves, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs for proved oil and natural gas mineral interests are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over total proved reserves. For depletion of proved oil and gas properties, interests are grouped in a reasonable aggregation of properties with common geological structural features or stratigraphic conditions.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

The Company evaluates its producing properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When assessing proved properties for impairment, the Company compares the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the proved properties to the carrying amount of the proved properties to determine recoverability. If the carrying amount of proved properties exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is written down to the properties’ estimated fair value, which is measured as the present value of the expected future cash flows of such properties. The factors used to determine fair value include estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices, timing of future production, and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The proved property impairment test is primarily impacted by future commodity prices, changes in estimated reserve quantities, estimates of future production, overall proved property balances, and depletion expense. If pricing conditions decline or are depressed, or if there is a negative impact on one or more of the other components of the calculation, we may incur proved property impairments in future periods.

Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed periodically for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by charging capitalized costs to expense. Impairment is assessed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, at which point an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable value. Factors used in the assessment include but are not limited to commodity price outlooks and current and future operator activity in the respective basins. The Company recognized no impairment of unproved properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Reclassifications

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

~~Recent~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2021, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.” The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2022, and has concluded the adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”) to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial ~~statements and related disclosures.~~statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832),” which requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company expects that this guidance will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

The following table summarizes the changes in investments in other equity securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022:

~~See Note 8~~Other equity securities also include investments in entities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not report net asset value per share. These investments are accounted for using a measurement alternative under which they are measured at cost and adjusted for observable price changes and impairments. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. For these transactions to be considered observable price changes of the same issuer, the Company evaluates whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments the Company holds. Any investments adjusted to their fair value by applying the measurement alternative are disclosed as nonrecurring fair value measurements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy that was used.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, investments in ~~Ault & Company~~other equity securities valued using a measurement alternative of $41.6 million and $21.4 million, respectively, are included in other equity securities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Avalanche International Corp. (“AVLP”) Acquisition

On June 1, 2022, the Company converted the principal amount under the convertible promissory notes issued to it by AVLP and accrued unpaid interest into common stock of AVLP. The Company converted $20.0 million in principal and $5.9 million of accrued interest receivable at a conversion price of $0.50 per share and received 51,889,168 shares of common stock increasing its common stock ownership of AVLP from less than 20% to approximately 92%.

Prior to the conversion of the convertible promissory notes, the Company accounted for its investment in AVLP as an investment in an unconsolidated entity under the equity method of accounting. In connection with the conversion of the convertible promissory notes, the Company’s consolidated financial statements now include all of the accounts of AVLP, and any significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consideration transferred for the Company’s approximate 92% ownership interest in connection with this acquisition aggregated $20.7 million, which represented the fair value of the Company’s holdings in AVLP immediately prior to conversion. The carrying amount of the Company’s holdings in AVLP immediately prior to conversion was $23.4 million, resulting in a $2.7 million loss for the related remeasurement, which was recognized in interest and other income.

The Company estimated the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques, such as the income, cost and market approaches. The fair values are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. The income method to measure the fair value of intangible assets, is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflected a consideration of other marketplace participants and included the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

The allocation of the total consideration transferred to the assets acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill, and the liabilities assumed is preliminary and could be revised as a result of additional information obtained due to the finalization of a third-party valuation report, leases and related commitments, tax related matters and contingencies and certain assets and liabilities, including receivables and payables. Amounts will be finalized within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not tax deductible.

The following table presents the final allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values.

	Preliminary allocation
Total purchase consideration	$	20,706,000
Fair value of non-controlling interest		6,738,000
Total consideration	$	27,444,000

Identifiable net liabilities assumed:

Fair value of bifurcated put option		(200,000	)
Net liabilities assumed		(13,446,000	)
Goodwill	$	40,890,000

The Company consolidates the results of AVLP on a one-month lag, therefore the statements of operations include results for AVLP for the three months ended August 31, 2022.

Overview of SMC Acquisition

Beginning in June 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Ault Lending, began making open market purchases of SMC common stock. These purchases granted the Company a greater than 20% effective ownership on June 9, 2022, and subsequently, on June 15, 2022, the Company owned more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SMC. The Company’s ownership of SMC stood at approximately 57% as of September 30, 2022.

As of June 15, 2022 (“Acquisition Date”), the purchase price of the common stock acquired totaled $7.4 million and on June 15, 2022 a $3.1 million gain was recognized in interest and other income for the remeasurement of the Company’s previously held ownership interest to $10.5 million, based on the trading price of SMC common stock. The Company also recognized non-controlling interest at fair value as of the Acquisition Date in the amount of $10.3 million.

The tradenames and developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates between of 0.5% and 1.0% to the prospective revenue attributable to the intangible asset. The resulting annual royalty payments are tax-affected and then discounted to present value.

The Company determined an estimated fair value of customer relationships using an income approach utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The analysis included assumptions regarding the development of new businesses and organic growth rates, a discount rate of 12% using a weighted average cost of capital analysis, and capital expenditure requirements associated with any new initiatives developed by SMC. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

The allocation of the total consideration transferred to the assets acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill, and the liabilities assumed, is preliminary and could be revised as a result of additional information obtained due to the finalization of a third-party valuation report, leases and related commitments, tax related matters and contingencies and certain assets and liabilities, including receivables and payables. Amounts will be finalized within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the Acquisition Date. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not tax deductible.

Overview of GIGA acquisition

On September 8, 2022, Giga-tronics Incorporated (“GIGA”) acquired 100% of the capital stock of GWW from the Company in exchange for 2.92 million shares of GIGA’s common stock and 514.8 shares of GIGA’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F”) that are convertible into an aggregate of 3.96 million shares of GIGA’s common stock. GIGA also assumed GWW’s outstanding equity awards representing the right to receive up to 749,626 shares of GIGA’s common stock, on an as-converted basis. The transaction described above resulted in a change of control of GIGA. Assuming the Company was to convert all of the Series F, the common stock owned by the Company after such conversion would result in the Company owning approximately 71.2% of GIGA’s outstanding shares.

On September 8, 2022, the Company loaned GIGA $4.25 million by purchasing a convertible note that carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and matures on February 14, 2023. The convertible note between the Company and GIGA is eliminated in consolidation beginning on September 8, 2022. The Company received the right to appoint four members of a seven member GIGA board of directors. These factors contributed to the Company’s determination that GWW be treated as the accounting acquirer.

The Company believes there are synergies between GIGA and GWW. GIGA manufactures specialized electronics equipment for use in both military test and airborne operational applications. GIGA focuses on the design and manufacture of custom microwave products for military airborne, sea, and ground applications as well as the design and manufacture of high-fidelity signal simulation and recording solutions for RADAR and electronic warfare test applications. GIGA’s results of operations subsequent to the acquisition are included in the Company’s GWW defense business segment.

In respect of the above transactions, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, together with acquired processes and employees, represent a business as defined in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The transactions were accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting with GIGA treated as the legal acquirer and GWW treated as the accounting acquirer. In identifying GWW as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, GIGA and GWW took into account a number of factors, including the relative voting rights, executive management and the corporate governance structure of the Company. GWW is considered the accounting acquirer since the Company controls the board of directors of GIGA following the transactions and received a 71.2% beneficial ownership interest in GIGA. However, no single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that GWW is the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $9.5 million, consisting of $4.0 million for GIGA’s common stock and prefunded warrants, $0.4 million fair value of vested stock incentives, $3.7 million cash and $1.3 million related to an existing loan agreement between Ault Lending and GIGA, which was deemed settled.

The tradenames and developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates between 1.0% and 7.0% to the prospective revenue attributable to the intangible asset. The resulting annual royalty payments are tax-affected and then discounted to present value.

The Company determined an estimated fair value of customer relationships using an income approach utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The analysis included assumptions regarding the development of new businesses and organic growth rates, a discount rate of 22% using a weighted average cost of capital analysis, and capital expenditure requirements associated with any new initiatives developed by GIGA. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

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

10. INCREASE IN OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF SUBSIDIARIES

On May 12, 2022, BNI closed a $1.8 million membership interest purchase agreement whereby BNI acquired the 30% minority interest of Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”) which BNI did not previously own, resulting in ACS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNI. ACS owns and operates the Company’s Michigan data center, where BNI conducts the Company’s Bitcoin mining operations.

Between June 15, 2022 and September 30, 2022, Ault Lending increased the Company’s ownership interest in SMC through the open market purchase of approximately 274,000 shares for $2.1 million.

Financial Instruments

Under authoritative guidance used by the FASB on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. In prior years, the Company granted certain warrants that resulted in these warrants accounted for as a financial instrument and being re-measured every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

The financial instruments were valued using a variety of pricing models with the following valuation assumptions:

Schedule of Financial Instrument

Contractually stipulated stock price	$	2.50		$	2.50		$	2.50		$	2.50

Dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%		0	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.4	%		1.3	%		4.1	%		1.3	%

Per the terms of the warrant agreements underlying the financial instruments, the value to the warrant holders is defined within the agreement based on a stock price, contractual term, volatility factor and dividend rate as defined in the warrant agreement, and not indexed to the company’s stock, resulting in the financial instrument accounting. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank.

10% Secured Promissory Notes

On ~~December 30, 2021,~~August 10, 2022, the Company, through its BNI subsidiary, entered into a ~~securities~~note purchase agreement ~~with certain sophisticated investors~~ providing for the issuance ~~of:~~of secured promissory notes with an aggregate principal face amount of $11,000,000 and an interest rate of 10%. The purchase price (proceeds to the Company) for the secured promissory notes was $10.0 million. The secured promissory notes have a security interest in $10 million of marketable securities and investments and certain Bitcoin mining equipment with a carrying amount of $23.1 million. The secured promissory notes are further secured by a guaranty provided by the Company, Ault Lending and by Milton C. Ault, the Executive Chairman of the Company.

~~secured promissory notes (the “Secured Promissory Notes”) that bear interest at~~ 8~~% per annum with an aggregate principal face amount of approximately $~~66 ~~million including a~~ 10~~% original issue discount;~~

The maturity date of the secured promissory notes is August 10, 2023. The Company is required to make monthly payment (principal and interest) of $1,000,000 on the tenth calendar day of each month, starting in September 2022. Provided that the Company makes the first six monthly payments in full and on a timely basis, after six months, the Company may elect to pay a forbearance fee of $250,000 in lieu of a monthly payment, which would extend the maturity date of the related secured promissory notes by one month for each forbearance. The Company may not elect forbearance in consecutive months.

~~five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of~~ ~~14,095,350~~ ~~shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50, subject to adjustment; and~~

SMC Debt Security Interest

~~five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate~~

Amortization of Debt Discount of~~1,942,508~~ ~~shares of Common Stock (the “Class B Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $2.50~~ ~~per share, subject to adjustment. The Class B Warrant Shares are deemed to be a derivative instrument.~~

Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd.

On November 28, 2018, Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd. (“Blockchain Mining”) a vendor who sold computers to one of the Company’s subsidiaries, filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Digital Farms, Inc.

Subpoena

The Company and certain affiliates and related parties have received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and management believes that the Company has operated its business in compliance with all applicable laws. The subpoenas expressly provide that the inquiry is not to be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should they be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

Other Litigation Matters

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

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

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

On August 10, 2022, BNI and Ault Lending entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) with two accredited investors (the “Investors”) providing for the issuance of secured promissory notes (the “Notes”). The Notes have a principal face amount of $11,000,000 and bear interest at 10% per annum, payable monthly in arrears, pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The maturity date of the Notes is August 10, 2023. BNI is required to make an aggregate monthly payment (a “Monthly Payment”) of $1,000,000 on the tenth calendar day of each month, starting in September 2022. The Monthly Payment includes principal and interest pursuant to the amortization table set forth in the Notes. After BNI makes the first six Monthly Payments, BNI may elect to pay a forbearance fee of $125,000 to an Investor, or an aggregate of $250,000 to the two Investors (each, a “Monthly Forbearance”) in lieu of a Monthly Payment, which Monthly Forbearance would extend the maturity date of such Notes by one month, provided that BNI may not elect to make a Monthly Forbearance in consecutive months. BNI may prepay the full outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest at any time, provided that if BNI prepays the Notes, BNI is required to pay the Investors the amount of interest that would have accrued from the date of prepayment until the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Notes. The purchase price for the Notes was $10 million.

Pursuant to the NPA, BNI, Ault Lending and Helios Funds LLC, as the collateral agent on behalf of the Investors (the “Agent”) entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Ault Lending granted to the Investors a security interest in marketable securities, investments and other property having a value of $10 million in an Ault Lending brokerage account and (ii) BNI granted to the Investors a security interest in 4,000 S19 Pro Antminers (the “Miners”), provided that the number of Miners would be reduced to 2,000 after BNI makes the third Monthly Payment (as defined below), as set forth in the Security Agreement. In addition, pursuant to a subsidiary guaranty, Ault Lending jointly and severally agreed to guarantee and act as surety for BNI’s obligation to repay the Notes. The Notes are further secured by a guaranty we provided.

On August 15, 2022, BNI entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) and Order Form (the “Order Form” and together with the Master Agreement, the “Hosting Documents”) with Compute North LLC (“Compute North”) providing for the hosting by Compute North of Bitcoin miners owned by BNI. Pursuant to the Hosting Documents, Compute North will host approximately 6,500 S19j Pro Antminers (the “Hosted Miners”) owned by BNI for a period of five (5) years (the “Term”). BNI agreed to pay a fee for the Hosted Miners (the “Monthly Service Fee”), together with a monthly package fee per Hosted Miner. The Monthly Service Fee is payable based on the actual hashrate performance of the Hosted Miners, of which 70% of the anticipated Monthly Service Fee is payable in advance, and the remaining Monthly Service Fee, if any, will be invoiced in arrears. We paid Compute North a deposit of approximately $2.0 million (the “Deposit”) to be used towards the Monthly Service Fee. As of the date of this filing, none of the Hosted Miners are in operation as we are awaiting the energization of the Hosted Miners at the facility.

Under the Master Agreement, BNI granted Compute North a continuing first-position security interest in the Hosted Miners, as collateral for BNI’s obligations under the Hosting Documents. Upon an event of default (as defined in the Master Agreement) by BNI, Compute North has the right to terminate the Hosting Documents and BNI is obligated to pay to Compute North all amounts then due under the Hosting Documents, together with a fee as liquidated damages, equal to the amount of fees that BNI would have been required to pay through the end of the Term.

On September 22, 2022, Compute North (along with its affiliated debtors), filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S. Code section 101 et seq.). The ultimate outcome of the bankruptcy process, and its impact on the Deposit, remains to be determined. We assessed this financial exposure and recorded an impairment of the Deposit totaling $2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. We have retained counsel to assist in this matter.

On November 7, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries borrowed $18.9 million of principal amount of term loans (the “Loans”) from a group of institutional investors (the “Financing”). The Loans mature in 18 months, which may be extended to 24 months, accrue interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and are secured by certain of our assets and our various subsidiaries. Starting in January 2023, the lenders have the right to require us to make monthly payments of $0.6 million, which will increase to $1.1 million in November 2023. The Loans were issued with an original issue discount of $1.89 million.

The lenders received warrants to purchase approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock, exercisable for four years at $0.45 per share and warrants to purchase another approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock, exercisable for four years at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment.

On November 18, 2022, BNI entered into another Note Purchase Agreement (the “November NPA”) with the Investors providing for the issuance of secured promissory notes (the “November Notes”). The November Notes have a principal face amount of $8,181,819 and bear interest at 3% per annum pursuant to the terms of the November Notes. The maturity date of the November Notes is May 18, 2023. When BNI sells the Collateral (as defined below), BNI is required to make a payment towards the November Notes equal to 45% of the realized gains. After the November Notes have been repaid in full and until all of the Collateral is sold, when BNI sells any remaining Collateral, BNI is required to give the investors a profits participation interest equal to 45% of the realized gains.

Pursuant to the November NPA, BNI, Ault Lending and the Agent entered into a security agreement (the “November Security Agreement”), pursuant to which BNI and Ault Lending granted to the Investors a security interest in marketable securities to be acquired by BNI (the “Collateral”).

On November 18, 2022, BNI and the Investors also entered into an amendment to the Notes issued in August 2022, whereby the Investors permitted BNI to (i) elect to utilize one of the six monthly forbearances under the Notes for the November 2022 monthly payment and (ii) make the forbearance payment with the December 2022 monthly payment.

General

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

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

Ault Alliance

Revenues from our lending and trading activities increased to ~~$17.9~~$13.4 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, from ~~$5.2~~negative revenues of $38.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, which is attributable to a significant ~~allocation of capital~~realized and unrealized gains in the current year period and unrealized losses in the prior year period from our ~~equity financing transactions to our loan and~~ investment portfolio. During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, DPAult Lending generated significant income from appreciation of investments in marketable securities as well as shares of common stock underlying convertible notes and warrants issued to DPAult Lending in certain financing transactions. Revenue from lending and trading activities during the three months ended September 30, 2022 included an approximate $2.5 million unrealized gain from our investment in Alzamend. Under its business model, DPAult Lending also generates revenue through origination fees charged to borrowers and interest generated from each loan.

Revenues from our trading activities during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 included significant unrealized losses from market price changes related to Alzamend. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized loss of $27.4 million related to our investment in Alzamend common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized loss on our investment in warrants of Alzamend of $6.0 million. Our investment in Alzamend will be revalued on each balance sheet date.

Revenues from our trading activities during the three months ended September 30, 2022 included net gains on equity securities, including unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in our periodic earnings.

Gross Margins

Gross margins were 42.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 117.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our gross margins have typically ranged between 30% and 35%, with slight variations depending on the overall composition of our revenue.

Our gross margins of 42.4% recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 were impacted by the favorable margins from our lending and trading activities and modest margins on cryptocurrency mining operations due to the decline in the price of Bitcoin. Excluding the effects of margin from our lending and trading activities and cryptocurrency mining operations, our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, would have been 27.6% and 35.8%, respectively, with gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2022 slightly lower than our historical averages due to gross margins from SMC, which were 23.8%.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were flat at $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $5.4 million, or 273%. The increase was the result of $4.2 million higher marketing costs at Ault Alliance, including $3.2 million related to an advertising sponsorship agreement as well as a $0.9 million increases in sales and marketing costs from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $15.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $4.7 million, or 41%. General and administrative expenses increased from the comparative prior period, mainly due to:

general and administrative costs of $2.6 million from SMC, which was acquired in June 2022;

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

general and administrative costs of $0.6 million from our hotel operations, which were acquired in December 2021;

$2.2 million increase in the accrual of a performance bonus related to realized gains on trading activities during the period;

increased costs of $0.6 million, in part related to the efforts to spin off TurnOnGreen and GWW; and

partially offset by lower non-cash stock compensation costs of $2.5 million.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to income from Ault Disruptive from cash and marketable securities held in the trust account.

Accretion of discount on note receivable, related party

Accretion of discount on note receivable, related party was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The prior year amount was due to the significant decline in the value of warrants in AVLP, accretion of the warrant discount was accelerated, resulting in a discount of $0 related to warrants issued in conjunction with the convertible promissory note of AVLP as of September 30, 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to interest on the $58.4 million construction loans related to the hotel properties purchased in December 2021 and interest on the $11 million secured promissory notes issued in August 2022.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Change in fair value of warrant liability was a loss of $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the fair value of the warrants that were issued during 2021 in a series of debt financings decreased by $0.3 million. The fair value of warrant liabilities is re-measured at each financial reporting period and immediately before exercise, with any changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Change in Fair Value of Marketable Equity Securities

Change in fair value of marketable equity securities was a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The loss generated in the prior year period relates to an investment in marketable securities held by Microphase that was fully sold in the fourth quarter of 2021 as well as the loss on an investment in AVLP common stock.

Realized Gain on Digital Currencies and Marketable Securities

Realized gain on digital currencies and marketable securities was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Realized gain for the three months ended September 30, 2022 related primarily to gains on the sale of Bitcoin by BNI.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive loss was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to other comprehensive loss of $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable to changes in currency exchange rates. Other comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily due to unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities that we received as a result of our investment in AVLP, a related party.

Critical Accounting Policies

~~For a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we assess whether we are~~We allocate the ~~primary beneficiary as prescribed by~~purchase price of an acquired business to the ~~accounting guidance~~tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the ~~consolidation of a VIE.

The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

We include the size of our investment, estimates of future cash flows, our ability to participate in policy making decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in the decision making process and to replace us as manager and/or liquidate the joint venture, if applicable.

~~Variable Interest Entity Considerations –~~ ~~AVLP~~

We have determined that AVLP is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We do not consolidate AVLP because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling financial interest. To be a primary beneficiary, an entity must have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, among other factors. Although we have made a significant investment in AVLP, we have determined that Philou, which controls AVLP through the voting power conferred by its equity investment and which is deemed to be more closely associated with AVLP, is the primary beneficiary. As a result, AVLP’s financial position and results of operations ~~are not consolidated~~of the business that we have acquired in our ~~financial position and~~consolidated results prospectively from the date of ~~operations.~~acquisition.

~~Equity Investment~~If the business combination is achieved in ~~Unconsolidated Entity~~

Asstages, the acquisition date carrying value of ~~March 31, 2022, our ownership percentage of AVLP was less than 20%. During~~ the fourth quarter of 2021, we made additional advances to AVLP under the existing loan agreement and our consolidated VIE, Ault Alpha, entered into a loan agreement with AVLP totaling $3.6 million. Due to our cumulative lending position to AVLP and the facts and circumstances surrounding the terms of loan agreements, we reevaluated our level of influence over AVLP and determined that the equity ownership in AVLP should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We have invested in AVLP based on the potential global impact of the novel technology of AVLP. AVLP has developed a novel cost effective and environmentally friendly material synthesis technology for textile applications. AVLP’s Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement is a unique technology that has the ability to treat both natural and synthetic textiles for a wide variety of functionalities, including dyeability and printing enhancements, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, fire retardancy and anti-microbial properties. The use of water, harmful chemicals and energy is significantly reduced in comparison to conventional textile treatment methods.ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon our evaluation, each of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because the Company has not yet completed its remediation of the material weakness previously identified and disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the end of its most recent fiscal year.

Specifically, management has determined that we do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting, including applying complex accounting principles relating to consolidation accounting and fair value estimates, in a timely manner. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties during our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. Our primary user access controls (i.e. provisioning, de-provisioning, privileged access and user access reviews) to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented effectively. We did not design and/or implement sufficient controls for program change management to certain financially relevant systems affecting our processes.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Planned Remediation

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

Except as detailed above, during the most recent fiscal quarter of 2022, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(f/k/a Super Crypto Mining, Inc.), in an action captioned Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd. v. Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and DPW Holdings, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-11099.

The Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel against us and our subsidiary arising from the subsidiary’s alleged failure to honor its obligations under the purchase agreement. The Complaint seeks monetary damages in excess of $1.4 million, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend them.

On April 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary, jointly filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint in its entirety as against us, and the promissory estoppel claim as against our subsidiary. On the same day, our subsidiary also filed a partial Answer to the Complaint in connection with the breach of contract claim.

On May 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary, jointly filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety as against us, and the promissory estoppel claim as against of our subsidiary. On the same day, our subsidiary also filed a partial Answer to the Amended Complaint in connection with the breach of contract claim.

In its partial Answer, the Company’s subsidiary admitted to the validity of the contract at issue and also asserted numerous affirmative defenses concerning the proper calculation of damages.

On December 4, 2020, the Court issued an Order directing the Parties to engage in limited discovery ~~(the “Limited Discovery”)~~ which was completed on March 4, 2021. In connection therewith, the Court also denied the previously filed motion to dismiss without prejudice.

On June 2, 2021, we and our subsidiary filed a motion to dismiss (the “Motion to Dismiss”) the Amended Complaint in its entirety as against us, and the promissory estoppel claim as against the subsidiary.

~~The~~On August 8, 2022, the Court issued an Order denying the Motion to Dismiss, ~~has been fully briefed~~in its entirety.

On September 2, 2022, the Company and ~~is currently pending before~~its subsidiary filed an answer to the ~~Court.~~Amended Complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action. Notwithstanding, we have established a reserve in the amount of the unpaid portion of the purchase agreement. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang Litigation

On January 17, 2020, Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) (“Gu”) and Xiaodan Wang (“Wang” and with “Gu” collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against us and our Chief Executive Officer, Milton C. Ault, III, in an action captioned Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang v. DPW Holdings, Inc. and Milton C. Ault III (a/k/a Milton Todd Ault III a/k/a Todd Ault), Index No. 650438/2020.

The Complaint asserts causes of action for declaratory judgment, specific performance, breach of contract, conversion, attorneys’ fees, permanent injunction, enforcement of Guaranty, unjust enrichment, money had and received, and fraud arising from: (i) a series of transactions entered into between Gu and us, as well as Gu and Ault, in or about May 2019; and (ii) a term sheet entered into between Plaintiffs and DPW, in or about July 2019. The Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages in excess of $1.1 million, plus a decree of specific performance directing DPW to deliver unrestricted shares of DPW’s common stock to Gu, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend them.

On May 4, 2020, we and Ault jointly filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice (the “Motion to Dismiss”).

On July 28, 2021, the Court conducted oral argument (the “Oral Argument”), via Microsoft Teams, in connection with the Motion to Dismiss. During the Oral Argument, the Court informed the parties that the Court would be dismissing the fraud claim, in its entirety, and provided Plaintiffs an opportunity to amend their fraud claim within sixty days of the date of the Oral Argument. The Court reserved decision on the other causes of action.

On December 14, 2021, the Court entered a Decision and Order in connection with the Motion to Dismiss (the “Order”) whereby the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s causes of action for specific performance, conversion, permanent injunction, and reiterated its prior determination that the fraud claim was also dismissed. The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss in connection with the other causes of action asserted in the Complaint.

On January 26, 2022, we and Ault filed an Answer to the Complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.

On November 1, 2022, the parties informed the Court that they reached a settlement in principle and requested an extension of time, until November 22, 2022, to file motions for summary judgment to allow the parties time to draft formal settlement documents. The Court granted the parties’ request and the deadline for us and Mr. Ault to file their summary judgment is November 22, 2022.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the above claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Subpoena

The Company and certain affiliates and related parties have received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and management believes that the Company has operated its business in compliance with all applicable laws. The subpoenas expressly provide that the inquiry is not to be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should they be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

Other Litigation Matters

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

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

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

~~RISK FACTORS~~

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in all material ~~respects.~~respects, with the exception of updated risk factors filed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and the first risk factor under the “Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock” section of Risk Factors section of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

~~UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS~~

“If we do not continue to satisfy the NYSE American continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted from NYSE American.

The listing of our common stock on the NYSE American is contingent on our compliance with the NYSE American’s conditions for continued listing. On November 2, 2022, we received a deficiency letter (the “Letter”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) indicating that we are not in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because our shares of common stock for a substantial period of time have been selling at a low price per share, which the Exchange determined to be a 30-trading day average price of less than $0.20 per share. The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock and our common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “NILE”. Additionally, the Letter does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the NYSE American.

Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the NYSE American staff determined that our continued listing is predicated on us demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time or effecting a reverse stock split of our common stock, which the staff determined to be no later than May 2, 2023. We intend to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards by undertaking a measure or measures that are in our best interests and our stockholders.

We intend to closely monitor the price of our common stock and consider available options if our common stock does not trade at a consistent level likely to result in us regaining compliance by May 2, 2023. We are actively engaged in discussions with the Exchange and are developing plans to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards within the cure period.

If we should fail to achieve compliance with NYSE American low-priced continued listing standard or fail to meet any other NYSE American listing requirement, then our common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event our common stock is no longer listed for trading on the NYSE American, our trading volume and share price may decrease and we may experience further difficulties in raising capital which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting from the NYSE American could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers and employees and could also trigger various defaults under our lending agreements and other outstanding agreements. Finally, delisting could make it harder for us to raise capital and sell securities. You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock.
