Part II–** Other Information**

Current report

Many aspects of the Company’s business involve substantial risks of liability. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be named as defendant or co-defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, which could create substantial exposure and periodic expenses. The Company may also be involved, from time to time, in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding the Company’s business, which may result in expenses, adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. In the past in the ordinary course of business, we actively pursued legal remedies to enforce our intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of our technology.

Current report

In March 2024, the Company received a notice of petition of a filed action seeking relief related to the March 2024 affiliates of new registered representatives. This notice was filed against the Company’s subsidiary Dominari Securities. The Company does not agree with the claim of the plaintiff and will defend itself accordingly. While the Company intends to defend itself vigorously from this claim, it is unable to predict the outcome of such legal proceeding. 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.

Previous report

The 2026 other expense primarily is as a result of the loss on the sale of the Company’s ABTC stock for cash proceeds of approximately $32.5 million in January 2026 which was lower than the approximate December 31, 2025, book value of $39.4 million. During the three months ending March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a realized gain of approximately $0.2 million on a note that was satisfied during the period and an approximate $0.3 million increase in the carrying value of its long-term investments.

Previous report

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $12.9 million as compared to $0 in comparable period in 2025 primarily as a result of the increased revenues, taxable gain on the sale of the Company’s ABTC stock in January 2026, and certain income tax limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(m) and 382 the tax impact of certain expenses related to compensation that are not allowable which limit available deductions for income tax purposes.

Non-GAAP Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025

Previous report

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the table below summarizes the additional non-GAAP financial measures of loss from operations, net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders’ of Dominari Holdings and earnings per share as adjusted from excluding non-cash stock-based compensation. Such noncash stock-based compensation represents charges included in compensation and benefits expense and advisory expense as reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance as well as prospects for future performance. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is shown in the table below ($ thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Previous report

We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities through:

Previous report

Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our business may require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations that we need to execute our business plan to support our transition into the financial services industry. Our working capital amounted to approximately $21.9 million as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $27.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $6.9 million of marketable securities and $11.1 million of securities owned. Additionally, we had approximately $21.9 million in receivable from clearing brokers. All of such funds are available to fund our operations. We believe our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In the event that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund our operations, as expected, or if our plans or assumptions change, including if inflation begins to have a greater impact on our business or if we decide to move forward with any activities that require more outlays of cash than originally planned, we may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected. We may raise this additional capital by obtaining additional debt or equity financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly traded company or from continuing operations.

Previous report

Our ability to obtain capital to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Specifically, as a result of recent volatility and weakness in the public markets, due to, among other factors, uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, it may be much more difficult to raise additional capital, if and when it is needed, unless the public markets become less volatile and stronger at such time that we seek to raise additional capital. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
