Previous report

Inflation and rising interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

During 2023, inflation in the United States moderated but, as of the date of this Report, is expected to continue at an elevated level in the near-term. Elevated inflation may have an adverse impact on our Loan Agreement (as defined in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Report below) and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our revenue. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate a total of four times throughout 2023, with its most recent increase in July of 2023, resulting in a range from 5.25% to 5.50% as of December 31, 2023. Although there are expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin reducing the federal funds rate in 2024, these expectations may not materialize. Should the U.S. Federal Reserve continue to raise rates in the future to, among other things, control inflation, or if rates continue at an elevated level, to the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates is not eliminated through interest rate swaps or other protection agreements, such elevated rates may result in higher debt service costs, which would adversely affect our cash flows.

Previous report

Our operating results vary significantly from period to period.

Previous report

We have limited history of operating as an independent company, and our historical combined and unaudited financial information for periods prior to the Separation is not necessarily representative of the results that wewould have achieved as an independent, publicly traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

Previous report

Our historical combined and unaudited financial information for periods prior to the Separation included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K was derived from LGL Group’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, nor do they reflect what our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows would have been as an independent public company during the periods presented. In particular, the historical combined financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Previous report

The obligations associated with operating as an independent public company require significant resources and management attention.

Previous report

Prior to the Separation, we were not directly subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. As a result of the Separation, we are directly subject to such reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management and our administrative and operational resources, including accounting resources, and we have faced and expect to continue to face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses relating to these demands that we had not incurred as a subsidiary of LGL Group. Our investment in compliance with existing and evolving regulatory requirements will result in increased administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Reworded paragraphs (11)

Previous wording

Amounts outstanding under our Loan Agreement bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 2.25%, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. Variable rate borrowings expose us to potential increased interest expense in a rising interest rate environment, if we utilize the line of credit. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no outstanding balances under the line of credit.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2023, four of our largest customers accounted for approximately 76.4% of our accounts receivable balance. The loss of any of these customers, a decrease in their demand for our products, or the insolvency of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity.

Current wording

Previous wording

Our future operating results are dependent on our ability to develop, introduce and market innovative products continually, to modify existing products, to respond to technological change and to customize some of our products to meet customer requirements. There are numerous risks inherent in this process, including the risks that we will be unable to anticipate the direction of technological change or that we will be unable to develop and market new products and applications in a timely or cost-effective manner to satisfy customer demand.

Previous wording

Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity events and other disruptions. We face various cybersecurity threats, including threats to our IT infrastructure and attempts to gain unauthorized access to our proprietary or classified information, denial-of-service attacks, as well as threats to the physical security of our facilities and employees, and threats from terrorist acts. In addition, we face cybersecurity threats from entities and persons that may seek to target us through our customers, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. Many of these cybersecurity threats are increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving. Accordingly, we maintain information security staff, policies and procedures for managing risk to our information systems, and we review and update our policies, procedures and practices in light of evolving threats. We conduct employee training on cybersecurity to mitigate persistent and continuously evolving cybersecurity threats. However, there can be no assurance that any such actions, including the timeliness of our efforts to review, update or implement policies, procedures and practices in light of evolving threats, or the safeguards put in place by our customers, suppliers and other parties on which we rely, will be sufficient to detect, prevent and mitigate cybersecurity breaches or disruptions, or the unauthorized release of sensitive information or corruption of data.

Previous wording

From October 7, 2022, the date our common stock began trading on the NYSE American, through December 31, 2023, the high and low closing prices for our common stock were $38.43 and $8.36, respectively. There is a limited public market for our common stock, and we cannot provide assurances that a more active trading market will develop or be sustained. As a result of limited trading volume in our common stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of shares could result in significant price fluctuations and it may be difficult for holders to sell their shares without depressing the market price for our common stock.

Current wording

From January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, the high and low closing prices for our common stock were $69.98 and $23.79, respectively.

Previous wording

Our officers, directors and 10% or greater stockholders have significant voting power and may vote their shares in a manner that is not in the best interest of other stockholders.

Current wording

Our officers and directors have significant voting power and may vote their shares in a manner that is not in the best interest of other stockholders.

Previous wording

Our officers, directors and 10% or greater stockholders control approximately 21.4% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 18, 2024. If these stockholders act together, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our stockholders.

Current wording

Our officers and directors control approximately 6.5% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 14, 2025.

Previous wording

As a result of the Separation, Marc J. Gabelli serves as special advisor to our chairman of the board and also serves as chairman of the board and co-chief executive officer of LGL Group and Michael J.
