Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

A.ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1.Organization - Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and commenced operations on November 17, 1995. The Company re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 24, 2021.

On August 23, 2024, Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Purchaser” or “Stran Loyalty Solutions”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Secured Party Sale Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024 (the “Sale Agreement”), between Stran Loyalty Solutions and Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Secured Party”), pursuant to which Stran Loyalty Solutions agreed to purchase, on an as-is basis, all of the rights and interests of Gander Group, in and to substantially all of the assets of Gander Group (the “Gander Group Assets”) from Secured Party as a private sale pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Gander Group Transaction”).

The Gander Group Transaction was treated as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Stran Loyalty Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Gander Group Louisiana, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stran Loyalty Solutions.

2.Operations - The Company is an outsourced marketing solutions provider that sells branded products to customers. The Company purchases products and branding through various third-party manufacturers and decorators and resells the finished goods to customers.

In addition to selling branded products, the Company offers clients custom sourcing capabilities; a flexible and customizable e-commerce solution for promoting branded merchandise and other promotional products, managing promotional loyalty and incentives, print collateral, and event assets, order and inventory management, and designing and hosting online retail popup shops, fixed public retail online stores, and online business-to-business service offerings; creative and merchandising services; warehousing/fulfillment and distribution; print-on-demand; kitting; point of sale displays; and loyalty and incentive programs.

3.Method of Accounting - The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. (“U.S. GAAP”).
4.Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2025.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, and we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the information in the following unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

5.Principles of Consolidation - The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
6.Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosure of certain assets, liabilities and expenses. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.
7.Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

8.Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and deposits in excess of federally insured limits. These risks are managed by performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company maintained deposits in four banks that exceeded the federal insured deposit limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had one major customer to which sales accounted for 16.5% of the Company’s revenues. The Company had accounts receivable from this customer amounting to 10.5% of the total accounts receivable balance. The Company had an additional customer with an accounts receivable balance amounting to 18.1% of the total accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had one major customer to which sales accounted for approximately 20% of the Company’s revenues. The Company had accounts receivable from this customer amounting to 10.6% of the total accounts receivable balance.

9.Revenue Recognition - The Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606, Revenue for Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is generated through various types of transactions, including promotional product sales, administering a customer’s rewards program, administering redemption code programs, and additional contract add-ons to enhance customer experience. The Company follows the five step model of revenue recognition:
i.identify the contract(s) with a customer;
ii.identify the performance obligations in the contract;
iii.determine the transaction price;
iv.allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract; and
v.recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company’s contract assessment and approval varies based on whether the customer requests a one-time sale or a long-term contract. Customers with long-term contracts require signed Master Sales Agreements, while one-time sales contracts may be approved via email, electronic signature, or verbally. Once the contract is identified and approved, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract to determine whether each promised good or service is a performance obligation. The Company identifies each piece of promotional product as an individual performance obligation based on the following fact pattern. Customers can benefit from each item of promotional product produced on its own. Each piece of promotional product does not significantly modify or customize other promotional products and are not highly interdependent or interrelated with each other. The Company can, and frequently does, break portions of contracts into separate shipments to meet Customer demands. As such, each piece of promotional product is considered a separate and distinct performance obligation.

The transaction price for the majority of the Company’s sales can be clearly identified in a significant majority of the contracts due to an observable selling price. The transaction price is then allocated to the performance obligation(s), i.e. promotional product. The agreements include clearly identified prices.

The Company recognizes revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. Stran evaluates transfer of control primarily from the customer’s perspective. Considering the transaction from the customer’s perspective reduces the risk that revenue is recognized for activities that do not transfer control of a good or service to the customer. Management determines, at contract inception, whether control of a good or service transfers to a customer over time or at a point in time. The assessment of whether control transfers over time or at a point in time is critical to the timing of revenue recognition.

10.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses - Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, includes allowance for credit losses of $1,110 and $791 (inclusive of $427 and $327 for related party receivables), respectively.
March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Trade accounts receivable$18,979$18,556
Less: allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable(683)(464)
Total accounts receivable, net$18,296$18,092

Less: allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable - related party(427)(327)
Total accounts receivable - related party, net402573
Total accounts receivable from all sources$18,698$18,665

The Company evaluates our accounts receivable through a continuous process of assessing our portfolio on an individual customer and overall basis. This process consists of a thorough review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts and the financial condition of our customers. The Company also considers the economic environment of our customers, both from a marketplace and geographic perspective, in evaluating the need for an allowance. Based on our review of these factors, we establish or adjust allowances for specific customers. Credit losses can vary substantially over time and the process involves judgment and estimation that require a number of assumptions about matters that are uncertain. Accordingly, our results of operations can be affected by adjustments to the allowance due to actual write-offs that differ from estimated amounts. See Note P, “Credit Losses,” to our financial statements included in this report for more information.

11.Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of the acquired businesses over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually on October 1 every year or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. Impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions, and changes in projected future cash flows or planned revenue or earnings of the reporting unit as potential indicators when determining the need for a quantitative assessment of impairment. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting unit using a combination of an income and market approach. To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value, and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgement. The single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If we conclude based on our qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then measure the fair value of the reporting unit and compare its fair value to its carrying value (Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the market capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs.

  1. Uncertainty in Income and Other Taxes - The Company adopted the standards for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which required the Company to report any uncertain tax positions and to adjust its financial statements for the impact thereof. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined it had uncertain tax positions of $3,211 and $3,141, respectively. The Company believes the impact will not be material as it will be able to utilize net operating losses to offset a majority of the risk. The Company recorded a nominal amount of interest expense which is included as part of income tax expense.
13.Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes offset by a valuation allowance. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 was 8.89% and (0.00%) respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate from the comparison of 2025 and 2024, as noted above, primarily relates to the Company’s taxable income forecast for 2025, as of the current period. The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of the current period based on its consideration of available evidence.
14.Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The Company is recognizing compensation costs only for those stock-based awards expected to vest after considering expected forfeitures. Cumulative compensation expense is at least equal to the compensation expense for vested awards. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award. The Company records compensation cost as an element of general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
15.Stock Option and Warrant Valuation - Stock option and warrant valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices for comparable entities. For warrants and stock options issued to non-employees, the Company accounts for the expected life based on the contractual life of the warrants and stock options. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.
16.Segments - In its operation of the business, management, including our chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is also our CEO, reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis not consistent with GAAP.

For each of its segments, the CODM uses segment revenue, gross margin and segment operating income in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM also uses segment gross margin for evaluating product pricing and segment operating income to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results and return on assets of each segment with one another. The CODM uses segment gross margin and segment operating income in determining the compensation of certain employees.

During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following segments: Stran & Company, Inc. and Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC.

17.Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Management has reviewed the following recent accounting pronouncements:

2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740)

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, which amends the guidance on income tax disclosures. This update aims to improve the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring entities to provide more detailed information about the nature and effects of income tax uncertainties, the components of income tax expense, and the effective tax rate reconciliation. Additionally, the ASU mandates enhanced disclosures about deferred tax assets and liabilities, including the valuation allowance and the impact of tax law changes.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

2024-01 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)

In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-01, which clarifies the accounting for profits interest awards. This update provides guidance on determining whether a profits interest or similar award falls within the scope of ASC 718 (Compensation—Stock Compensation) or other guidance. The ASU aims to ensure consistency and transparency in the accounting for these awards by providing clearer criteria and illustrative examples.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2025. The standard did not have a material impact of the Company’s financial statements.

2024-03 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires the disaggregation, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain cost and expense captions presented on the face of the Company’s Statement of Operations, to provide enhanced transparency to investors. The update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

18.Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated events occurring after the balance sheet date through May 15, 2025, the date on which the financial statements were filed.
B.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The carrying amount of accounts payable approximated fair value as they are short term in nature. The fair value of stock options are estimated based on the Black-Scholes model during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investments and money market accounts represent Level 1 measurements. The estimated fair value of the earn-out liabilities represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Installment Payment Liabilities

The estimated fair value of the installment payment liabilities represent a Level 2 measurement. The Company measures the initial installment payment liabilities at fair value by discounting the contractually agreed upon payments by Bloomberg’s B+ corporate yield curve as of the valuation date, using rates commensurate with the term to payment. The credit rating was determined utilizing Bloomberg’s default risk function for the Company as of the valuation date. The installment payments and payment date (term) are based on the purchase agreements and the discount rate represents a quoted market price classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. All assumptions utilized in the determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the Company’s business combinations were determined to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, see Note F. “Acquisitions” for the valuation assumptions used.

F.ACQUISITIONS

Gander Group Acquisition

On August 23, 2024, Stran Loyalty Solutions entered into the Sale Agreement, between Stran Loyalty Solutions and the Secured Party, pursuant to which Stran Loyalty Solutions agreed to purchase, on an as-is basis, all of the rights and interests of the Gander Group Assets from Secured Party as the Gander Group Transaction. Gander Group provides promotional products and programs to its customers. The Company entered into the acquisition to expand its customer base to other industries.

Under the Sale Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Gander Group Assets consisted of (a) cash payments by Stran Loyalty Solutions to Secured Party of approximately $1,099 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), and (b) cash payment of $370 per the Release Agreement (as defined below). The aggregate purchase price was $1,469.

As a result of the Gander Group Transaction Closing, the Company indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Gander Group, including all of the equity of Gander Group Louisiana, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stran Loyalty Solutions.

In addition, Stran Loyalty Solutions entered into a Release Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2024, between Gander Group and Stran Loyalty Solutions (the “Release Agreement”). Under the Release Agreement, Gander Group granted a full and complete waiver and release of Stran Loyalty Solutions and its affiliates of any non-competition, non-solicitation, or similar restrictive covenants of any parties owed to Gander Group or any of its affiliates and Stran was required to pay an additional $370 to Gander Group.

The Sale Agreement and the Release Agreement included provisions for indemnification, reimbursement for returned items, handling of assets and liabilities during Gander Group’s wind-down, and certain other matters.

Total consideration$1,469

The Gander Group Assets were valued using a combination of a multi-period excess earnings methodology, a form of a discounted cash flow approach, and a relief from royalty methodology, a form of a present value of cash flows approach. The $1,717 balance of accounts receivable is the fair value of accounts receivable, net of amounts that are expected to be collected as of the acquisition date. The goodwill represents the excess fair value after the allocation of intangibles, of which approximately $2,542 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company incurred approximately $435 of acquisition related transaction costs in conjunction with the Gander Group Acquisition.

K.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time become involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. As of the date of this report, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of any current or future legal proceeding is inherently difficult to predict and any dispute resolved unfavorably could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results.

Lease Agreements - Operating Leases

On May 31, 2020, the Company renewed a lease for a 10,500 square foot office space in Quincy, MA. The lease renewed on June 1, 2020 and is for a term of 60 months from the renewal date. The lease included an escalation clause with annual increases of approximately 2.5% increase per year. The associated lease right-of-use asset and lease liability is $54 as of March 31, 2025, based on the present value of payments and an incremental borrowing rate of 2%.

L.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 21, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a repurchase of up to $10,000 of the Company’s shares from time to pursuant to a stock repurchase program, or the Repurchase Program. Under the terms of the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares through open market or negotiated private transactions. The timing and extent of any purchases depend upon ongoing assessments of the Company’s capital needs, market conditions and the price of the Company’s common stock, and other corporate considerations, as determined by management, and are subject to the restrictions relating to volume, price and timing under applicable laws, including but not limited to, Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Repurchase Plan was terminated in June 2024.

The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

M.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

In November 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) which provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, and outside consultants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2025, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Planis 1,048,419 shares of common stock.

Stock-based compensation expense included the following components:

March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
Stock options$8$—
Restricted stock1150
$9$150

All stock-based compensation expense is recorded in General and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

The fair value of options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company uses historical data on employee turnover and terminations to estimate the percentage of options that will ultimately be exercised. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility from a representative sample of publicly traded companies. The expected term represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. Treasury Notes with a life that approximates the expected life of the option. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual results differ from the estimates. Stock-based compensation is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those options generally vest based onfour years of continuous service and have 10-years contractual terms.

A summary of option activity under the 2021 Plan as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:

OptionsSharesWeighted Average Exercise PriceAggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding at March 31, 20251,387,999$4.00$—
Vested and exercisable at March 31, 20251,223,667$4.04$—

The Company did not issue any options during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for the outstanding options is approximately 7 years as of March 31, 2025.

Restricted Stock:

Restricted stock consists of time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs). RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest over 3 to 4 years, based on continued employment, and are settled upon vesting with shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. PSUs granted under the 2021 Plan are issued and vest immediately as various performance goals and targets are achieved.

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2021 Plan as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:

N.LOSS PER SHARE:

The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods in which a net loss is presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
Warrants10,074,19510,074,195
Stock options1,223,667864,167
11,297,86210,938,362

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as a result of the net losses in these periods, all warrants and stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share and, therefore, there was no difference in the weighted average number of common shares for basic and diluted loss per share as the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding was anti-dilutive.

O.SEGMENTS:

In its operation of the business, management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is also our CEO, reviews certain financial information, including segment information prepared on a basis that is consistent with GAAP. There is no expense or asset information that is supplemental to information disclosed within the consolidated financial statements, that is regularly provided to the CODM to monitor and evaluate segment performance.

During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following reportable segments: Stran & Company, Inc. (“Stran”) and Stran Loyalty Solutions, LLC (“SLS”).

Our reportable segments are described below.

The Stran segment’s business is focused on being an outsourced marketing solutions and promotional products provider for a variety of customers and industries, working closely with customers to develop sophisticated marketing programs that leverage Stran’s promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise. Stran purchases products and branding through various third-party manufacturers and decorators and resells the finished goods to customers. The segment earns the majority of its revenue from the sale of unique, quality promotional products for a wide variety of industries primarily to support marketing efforts.

The SLS segment’s business is focused on the casino, gaming, and entertainment industries as an extension of the Company’s newly formed Casino Continuity and Loyalty group. The group specializes in creating high-quality, branded merchandise for casinos, sourced through various third-party manufacturers, focusing on promotional products that enhance customer loyalty and engagement. It partners with nationally recognized brands to create high-quality, custom products that resonate with casino patrons, helping casinos drive redemption rates and ROI through tailored merchandise and marketing solutions to build recurring revenues for SLS customers and the segment itself.

The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the Company.

For each of thetwo segments, the CODM uses segment gross margin and segment operating profits or losses in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for revenue as well as profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM uses segment gross margin and segment operating income in determining the compensation of certain employees, primarily for its recently acquired Gander business, which is consolidated as part of the SLS subsidiary and also comprises the segment SLS.

As of March 31, 2025 Stran and SLS had total assets of $39,128 and $13,032, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, Stran and SLS had total assets of $45,206 and $9,944, respectively. The entire goodwill balance of $2,321 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was allocated to the SLS segment.

Revenue and costs are directly attributed to our segments, and the revenues recognized as well as the costs incurred in generating those revenues within each segment are distinguishable based on the information systems in which each segment’s financial information gets recorded. There are no intersegment revenues or other transactions between thetwo segments that are eliminated in consolidation by the Company for external reporting.

The table below presents information about reported segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
StranSLSTotalStranSLSTotal
Sales$20,935$7,759$28,694$18,827$—$18,827
Gross profit6,7911,6918,4825,614—5,614
Operating loss$(73)$(462)$(535)$(665)$—$(665)

The segment SLS was not a part of the Company until the segment was acquired and all of its business operations were incorporated within the Company’s newly created subsidiary in August 2024. The Stran segment’s operations have remained consistent for all periods presented, however, the Company only had one operating and reportable segment prior to the acquisition. Significant segment expenses for the Stran segment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 are consistent with those presented on the consolidated statements of operations.

P.CREDIT LOSSES:

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers’ trade accounts receivable. Customers are pooled based on sharing specific risk factors. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances.

Customers are assessed for credit worthiness upfront through a credit review, which includes assessment based on the Company’s analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. The Company evaluates contract terms and conditions, country and political risk, and may require prepayment to mitigate risk of loss. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company monitors changes to the receivables balance on a timely basis, and balances are written off as they are determined to be uncollectible after all collection efforts have been exhausted. Estimates of potential credit losses are used to determine the allowance. It is based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

The accounts receivable balance from all sources on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 was $18,698, net of $1,110 (inclusive of $427 for related party receivables) of allowances. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected:
