Dominari Holdings Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments

Organization and Description of Business

Dominari Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), formerly AIkido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company operated as a biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. The Company is in the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology assets held by Aikido Labs, LLC. In an effort to enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”), an introducing broker-dealer, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities is also licensed to provide investment advisory services and annuity and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated brokers.

On September 9, 2022, Dominari Financial entered into a membership interest purchase agreement, as amended and restated on March 27, 2023 (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”) with Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Seller”), a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fieldpoint Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“FPS”), that is a broker-dealer, a member of FINRA and an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement, Dominari Financial purchased from the Seller 100% of the membership interests in FPS (the “Membership Interests”). The registered broker-dealer and investment adviser businesses will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial. The FPS Purchase Agreement provided for Dominari Financial’s acquisition of FPS’ Membership Interests in two closings, the first of which occurred on October 4, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”), at which Dominari Financial paid to the Seller $2.0 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial 20% of the FPS Membership Interests. Following the Initial Closing, FPS filed a continuing membership application requesting approval for a change of ownership, control, or business operations with FINRA in accordance with FINRA Rule 1017 (the “Rule 1017 Application”). The Rule 1017 Application was approved by FINRA on March 20, 2023. The second closing occurred on March 27, 2023. Dominari Financial paid to the Seller an additional $1.4 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial of the remaining 80% of the Membership Interests. As a result of the ownership change, FPS was renamed Dominari Securities LLC.

On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into two separate Limited Liability Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IM LLC (“Investment Manager”) which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the consolidated financial statements of Dominari Holdings Inc. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited liability company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager was named the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master SPV. Beginning in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose of making investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such Series by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside third-party investors.

On May 21, 2024, Dominari Financial and Heritage Strategies LLC (“HS”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of Dominari Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The JV Agreement governs the operation of DFHS, including the distributions to the members of DFHS upon the offer, sale and renewal of various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, Dominari Financial and HS are the co-managing members (the “Co-Managing Members”), each with fifty percent (50%) ownership interests in DFHS. Revenues from the sale of the various insurance products and services after deducting general and administrative costs are distributed to the Co-Managing Members as set forth in the JV Agreement.

Note 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities through managing current cash on hand from the Company’s past equity offerings.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $6.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $12.6 million of marketable securities. Additionally, the Company had approximately $12.4 million in receivable from clearing brokers. All of such funds are available to fund the Company’s operations. Based upon projected cash flow requirements, the Company has adequate cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the membership interest or outstanding voting stock. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aikido Labs, Dominari Financial, and Dominari Securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Joint Ventures

On May 21, 2024, the Company entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to form Dominari Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The Company has a 50% interest in DFHS. The purpose of DFHS is to sell various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of DFH and thus will not consolidate the activities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company will account for its interest in DFHS under the equity method accounting in accordance with ASC 323. As of March 31, 2025, there has been no material activity in DFHS.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation of investments, the valuation of notes receivable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Receivable from Clearing Brokers

Receivable from Dominari Securities’ clearing brokers consisted of approximately $10.4 million of liquid insured deposits, $0.3 million of commissions receivable and $0.8 million of good faith deposits maintained by the Company with its clearing brokers as of March 31, 2025. Receivable from Dominari Securities’ clearing brokers consisted of approximately $14.4 million of liquid insured deposits, $1.3 million of commissions receivable and $0.6 million of good faith deposits maintained by the Company with its clearing brokers as of December 31, 2024. Such amount is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its clearing brokers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 an allowance for credit losses was not deemed necessary.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842,Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred (see Note 8 -Leases).

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 -Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers:

Any non-cash consideration earned by the Company in providing the aforementioned services is recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, on the date that revenue is recognized.

Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are the result of remaining performance obligations for management services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenues when the Company provides ongoing investment management services. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $1.1 million of contract liabilities of which $0.2 million was expected to be recognized within a year. As of March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $1.7 million of contract liabilities of which $0.4 million is expected to be recognized within a year. The remaining balance is expected to be recognized through 2030. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $0.06 million that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

Long-term equity investments

The Company accounts for long-term equity investments under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”). In accordance with ASC 321, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market prices. Any equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are included within marketable securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at net asset value or using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03,Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value of the equity security. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 may be early adopted and are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the implementation of ASU 2022-03.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01,Leases, to require entities to classify and account for leases with related parties on the basis of legally enforceable terms and conditions of the arrangement. The amendments are effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2023-01 on January 1, 2024. There was no material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the implementation of ASU 2023-01.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant segment expenses and other segment items for public entities on both an annual and interim basis. Specifically, the update required that entities provide, during interim periods, all disclosures related to a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that were previously required only on an annual basis. Additionally, this guidance necessitates the disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The new guidance does not modify how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years starting after December 15, 2024. This ASU must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company adopted this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Effect of new accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods

The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The realized gain or loss, unrealized gain or loss, and dividend income related to marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, which are recorded as a component of gains and (losses) on marketable securities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, are as follows ($ in thousands):

Note 5. Long-Term Equity Investments

The Company holds interests in several privately held and publicly traded companies as long-term investments. The following table presents the

Company’s long-term investments as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

Investment in Aeon Partners Fund Series DB (Databricks, Inc.)

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company redeemed its interest in Databricks, Inc. for net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $28,000.

Investment in American Bitcoin Corp.

On February 18, 2025, the Company announced the creation of American Data Centers Inc. (“ADC”), a strategic venture focused on acquiring, building out and transforming data center campuses across the United States to meet the accelerated demand for advanced computing. On March 31, 2025, ADC completed a series of transactions providing for the launch of American Bitcoin Corp., a strategic initiative focused on industrial-scale Bitcoin mining and strategic Bitcoin reserve development and monetization (the “Transactions”). To effectuate the Transactions, ADC, Hut 8 Corp., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (“Hut 8”), and the stockholders of ADC entered into a Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Hut 8 contributed to ADC substantially all of Hut 8’s wholly owned ASIC bitcoin miners in exchange for newly issued stock representing 80% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADC after giving effect to the issuance. At the closing of the Transactions, ADC changed its name to American Bitcoin Corp. (“American Bitcoin”). In connection with the Transactions, American Bitcoin and Hut 8 also entered into definitive agreements providing for Hut 8 and its personnel to provide day-to-day commercial and operational management services and ASIC colocation services to American Bitcoin, in each case on an exclusive basis for so long as such agreements remain in effect. Hut 8 and its personnel will also provide back-office support services to American Bitcoin pursuant to a shared services agreement with American Bitcoin. As a result of the Transactions, American Bitcoin has become a subsidiary of Hut 8 in which the Company holds a 3.17% minority interest in American Bitcoin. Based upon a recent funding round, the Company adjusted its carrying value of American Bitcoin to be $0.3 million.

Note 6. Notes Receivable

The following table presents the Company’s notes receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

March 31, 2025

December 31, 2024

American Innovative Robotics, LLC

The Company recorded interest income of approximately $20,000, and an unrealized gain on the note of approximately $221,000 on the American Innovative Robotics Promissory Note for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The note was fully paid off as of March 24, 2025 resulting in an ending value of $0.

Raefan Industries LLC

During 2024, the Company deemed that the note for Raefan Industries LLC was uncollectible, and as a result, the Company recorded a realized loss as a result of directly writing off the note on Raefan Industries LLC, resulting in an ending value of $0 for the period ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

Level 3 Measurement

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in thousands):

Note 9. Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock as of the first day of the period. Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 are as follows:

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock

An additional 850,000 shares may be issued under the terms of the agreements when certain provisions are met which as of the date of grant is probable. These shares are nonforfeitable and thus were fully expensed by the Company at the time of grant. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the grant date fair value of the common stock. The fair value of issued shares amounted to $20,944,000 and is presented in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

The securities in the concurrent private placement were offered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the unregistered shares, the warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may be subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries may be named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims may seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries may also be subject to other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims the Company cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of potential litigation or other claims will be. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Company does not believe that the results of these claims are likely to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Any potential loss as a result of this legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company has not recorded a loss contingency for the aforementioned claim.

In the past, in the ordinary course of business, the Company actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of the Company’s technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company is not aware of any material, active or pending legal proceedings brought against it.
