Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Alliance is a leading global wholesaler and distributor of physical media, entertainment products, hardware, and accessories across various platforms. Employing an established multi-channel strategy, Alliance operates as the vital link between renowned international manufacturers of entertainment content and top-tier retail partners both domestically and internationally. Additionally, Alliance manages a diverse portfolio of owned e-commerce brands through its DirectToU LLC division, catering to various entertainment and collectible markets. Alliance also provides state-of-the art warehousing and distribution technologies, operating systems and services that seamlessly enable entertainment product transactions to better serve customers directly or through our distribution affiliates.
On February 10, 2023, Alliance completed its business combination with Adara Acquisition Corp., which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Alliance treated as the accounting acquirer (the “Merger”). The recapitalization has been retroactively reflected in all periods presented. The Company continues to recognize certain warrant and equity-related impacts from this transaction, including the outstanding Class E contingent shares and warrant liabilities, as discussed further in Notes 16 and 21.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are necessary in order to state fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed September 10, 2025. June 30, 2025, balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included therein.
Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Basis for Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a three-year credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, which will mature on December 21, 2026. The facility is a $120 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 1, 2025, the Company refinanced its asset-based lending with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC and entered into a new $120 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. Additionally, the Company has implemented certain strategic initiatives to reduce expenses and focus on the sale of higher margin products. As a result of the credit facility, combined with these initiatives and the Company’s financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has concluded that it has sufficient cash to fund its operations and obligations (from its cash on hand, operations, working capital and availability on the credit facility) for at least twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Earnings per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options, warrants, and unvested restricted stock units, were exercised and converted into common shares and the impact would not be antidilutive. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and were dilutive. Contingently issuable shares are included in basic net income per share only when there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share of Common Stock for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | |
| Net Income (in thousands) | $4,880 | $397 |
| Basic and diluted shares | ||
| Weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding (basic) | 50,957,370 | 50,957,370 |
| Weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding (diluted) | 50,996,141 | 50,965,970 |
| Income per share for Class A Common Stock | ||
| — Basic and Diluted | $0.10 | $0.01 |
There are 60,000,000 shares of contingently issuable Common Stock that were not included in the computation of basic or diluted earnings per share since the contingencies for the issuance of these shares have not been met as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025 there are 9,920,000 warrants outstanding that have been excluded from diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.

Note 9: Revolving Credit Facility
On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, which will mature on December 21, 2026. The facility is a $120 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit facility bear interest at the 30-day SOFR rate, subject to a floor of 2%, plus a margin ranging from 4.00% to 4.25%, depending on the Company’s utilization and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The 30-day SOFR rates as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, were 4.14% and 4.35%, respectively. The effective interest rates at September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, were 8.39% and 9.20%, respectively.
On June 30, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility with White Oak, which reduced the applicable interest rate margin from a range of 4.5% –4.75% to a range of 4.0% –4.25%, effective immediately.
If the Company reduces or terminates the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility before its maturity, it would have incurred an early termination fee of 1% if done between December 21, 2024, and August 21, 2025. As of August 21, 2025, the Company was no longer subject to any early termination fees.
Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is determined by the Company’s borrowing base calculation, as defined in the credit agreement relating to this facility. The Company also incurs a commitment fee of 0.25% for unused credit line with fees three months ending September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, of $0.06 million and $0.05 million, respectively. Availability as of September 30, 2025, was approximately $61 million with an outstanding revolver balance of approximately $58 million. Availability as of June 30, 2025, was $54 million with an outstanding revolver balance of $57 million.
The maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are determined by a formula based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, subject to lender discretion. The facility includes standard representations and warranties, events of default, and financial reporting requirements, including maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 on a trailing twelve-month basis. The facility also imposes covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, pay dividends, make unpermitted investments, or materially change its business operations. The facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ cash, accounts receivable, inventory and related assets.
The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025. Revolving Credit Facility, net consists of the following at:
| ($ in thousands) | September 30, 2025 | June 30, 2025 |

| Revolving Credit Facility, Net | $55,951 | $55,269 |
During the three months ending September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company had interest expenses of $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and amortization of deferred finance costs of $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Note 10: Employee Benefits Company Health Plans
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company transitioned its health insurance coverage from a self-funded model to an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (“ICHRA”), which eliminates the Company’s exposure to self-insured medical and dental claims; therefore, no similar liabilities are expected under the current plan structure. As a result, the self-insured medical plans (including both PPO and HDHP options) under the Alliance Health & Benefits Plan (“AHBP”) were terminated. Under the ICHRA model, the Company reimburses employees and executive officers for individual health insurance premiums, with contribution levels varying based on coverage tiers.
There were no changes to the Company’s dental (PPO and HMO), vision, life insurance, or short-term disability plans. The Company’s dental HMO plan remains self-insured, with exposure limited to a maximum per individual procedure based on a published fee schedule. The dental PPO plan is fully insured. The Company contributes various percentages toward premium costs across benefit offerings, based on coverage levels and Board-approved schedules. The vision, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability plans are fully insured and Company-sponsored, with premiums paid by both the employer and employees in accordance with Board-approved contribution structures.
As of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, the Company had no remaining liability related to the terminated self-insured medical plans, as the previously accrued estimated run-out exposure was fully settled during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
401(k) Plan
The Company has the Alliance Entertainment 401(k) Plan (the Plan) covering all eligible employees of the Company. All employees over the age of 18 are eligible to participate in the Plan at the beginning of the month following date of hire. The Plan has automatic deferral at the beginning of the month following the date of hire. Employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan with a 3% contribution; however, they have the option to increase/decrease their deferrals or opt out of the Plan at any time. The Company currently offers a match contribution of $0.50 of every dollar up to 4% of contribution percentage. The Company conducts a retirement plan review on an annual basis.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company contributed $0.15 million and $0.18 million, respectively, to the Plan
Note 11: Segment Information
Management performed an assessment of the Company’s operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10-50-1 through 50-9. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that it operates as a single operating segment, which is also its sole reportable segment. Segment revenue is derived from the sale of distribution of pre-recorded music, video movies, video games and related accessories, and merchandising. This conclusion is consistent with prior periods.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman are the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) and review financial performance and make resource allocation decisions at the consolidated entity level. The CODM utilizes net income, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to evaluate financial performance, monitor variances against budget and forecast, and guide strategic decisions. Segment assets are reported as consolidated assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM include:
| ● | Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation and Amortization) |
| ● | Distribution and Fulfillment Expense |
| ● | Sales and Marketing |

Note 12: Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 28% and 152% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and the federal statutory rate primarily resulted from state income taxes, Foreign Derived Intangible Income, and fair value adjustments related to the Company’s warrant liability. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and the federal statutory rate primarily resulted from state income taxes, Foreign Derived Intangible Income, and one immaterial discrete item from a one-time adjustment for out of measurement period for deferred tax liability from software costs.

Commitments
The Company enters into various agreements with suppliers for the products it distributes. The Company hadno long-term purchase commitments or arrangements with its suppliers as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025.
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
We are exposed to claims and litigations of varying degrees arising in the ordinary course of business and use various methods to resolve these matters. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and, if material, disclose the estimated range of loss. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material. We believe the recorded reserves in our condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. We do not believe that any of these identified claims or litigation will be material to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
On August 8, 2024, a class action complaint, Feller v. Alliance Entertainment, LLC and DirectToU, LLC, was filed under the Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”). The complaint alleges that the Company violated the VPPA by disclosing users’ personally identifiable information, as well as information regarding videos they viewed on the Company’s website, to Facebook through the use of Facebook Pixel. The Company is evaluating the claims and intends to defend against the allegations vigorously. At this time, the potential outcome or range of financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated.
On June 6, 2024, Office Create Corporation filed a complaint against COKeM International Ltd. (“COKeM”) in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging contributory trademark infringement, contributory false designation of origin and unjust enrichment relating to COKeM’s alleged distribution of a specific video game, Cooking Mama: Cookstar. Office Create Corporation is seeking damages of no less than $20,913,200, plus interest of 9% accruing from October 3, 2022. On August 29, 2024, COKeM filed a response denying all allegations. COKeM intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. On September 12, 2024, COKeM filed a Third-Party Complaint against Planet Entertainment LLC and Steven Grossman asserting claims for indemnification and contribution. Mediation has been postponed. Office Create Corporation has filed an amended complaint impleading the former owner, chairman, CFO and SVP of Sales for COKeM seeking willful trademark infringement claims and civil conspiracy. Alliance filed an amended answer insofar as any new claims pertain to COKeM directly on March 12, 2025. The Amended Complaint is now seeking damages in excess of $35 million. The court did schedule a settlement conference for August 11, 2025 but Office Create Corporation cancelled it with no new date scheduled. COKeM has offered a settlement amount of $330,000 which has been rejected by Office Create Corporation. COKeM believes that Office Create Corporation is relying on case law that has been overturned and precedent that is not-binding in the 8th Circuit court. COKeM has some insurance coverage for this claim with their insurance carrier, CNA but the policy is capped at $2.5 million for all claims and also has to be shared with the VPPA class action claim(s) discussed below.

Plaintiff Hoang To also alleges violations of California’s state VPPA equivalent, as well as violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law. DirectToU and Alliance dispute the allegations and will defend the lawsuits vigorously. The parties in the Hoang To matter have reached a settlement with respect to all potential class members. The settlement agreement has been submitted to the court for approval, slated for December 15, 2024. An approved settlement would cover the class members covered by the Feller matter, rendering such litigation moot. A motion to stay the Feller matter pending court approval of the settlement in Hoang To has been filed and granted. Counsel for the Feller parties filed a motion to intervene and stay the settlement in Hoang, which motions were rejected. The parties await final settlement approval. The settlement was rejected by the court and the court has mandated the parties initiate discovery with respect to third-party data collection. The Alliance parties have filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion to compel arbitration on April 28, 2025. The parties reached a new settlement on June 12, 2025, whereby COKeM will pay to the class a settlement amount of $1.577 million and COKeM’s insurance carrier CNA has approved to cover their part of the settlement amount. COKeM will have an estimated receivable of $1.377 million. The Company had accrued for the liability and the receivables from CNA on the balance sheet for the three months ending September 30, 2025. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in October 2025.
Balabbo v Abysse America, Inc., Target Corporation, DirectToU, LLC (Prop 65): On or about December 11, 2024, DirectToU received a tender of defense from Target Corporation citing a possible violation of California Proposition 65 for a product sold by DirectToU allegedly containing lead. The product in question was supplied to Alliance by Abysse America. Alliance/DTU have tendered defense to Abysse. Abysse has engaged counsel to respond to the Prop 65 Violation Notice. At this time, Alliance/DTU have discontinued the product, but have documentation supplied by Abysse showing that the product was properly tested and was within allowable thresholds for lead and other substances.
Algomus v. Alliance: Alliance received a cease and desist notice from Algomus on July 24, 2025, alleging that Alliance breached a non-solicitation provision of a Master Services Agreement between the parties when Alliance agreed to become the Category Advisor for Walmart. Alliance responded to the letter on August 8, 2025, asserting that Algomus’s position lacks merit. Alliance had been conducting business with Walmart prior to the Master Services Agreement, and Algomus and Walmart’s relationship is not governed by the language of the non-solicitation provision. There has been no further litigation activity since the letter was issued.
On June 9, 2025, Sparkle Pop, LLC v. Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation and Alliance Entertainment. LLC (U.S. Bankruptcy Court for MD-In Re Diamond Comic Distributors “DCD”): Sparkle Pop has sued the Alliance entities in bankruptcy court alleging theft of trade secrets and tortious interference with contracts arising out of Alliance’s successful bid and subsequent termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement in the DCD bankruptcy matter. Alliance brought a motion to dismiss the original complaint with prejudice, but during the pendency of the motion plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. Alliance has filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint.

Note 15: Leases
The Company leases offices, warehouses, computer equipment, and vehicles. Certain leases include options to renew, which may extend the lease term from one to 13 years. The decision to exercise renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion and is included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
Leasehold improvements and assets are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term unless the lease includes a purchase option or title transfer that is reasonably certain to occur.
Our lease agreements do not include material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Lease payments generally include fixed payments, with some leases requiring variable payments. These variable payments typically cover the Company’s proportionate share of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance and are recognized as incurred rather than being included in the lease liability.
On the condensed consolidated condensed balance sheet, operating leases are reflected in “Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, Net,” “Current Portion of Operating Lease Obligations,” and “Operating Lease Obligations, Non-Current.” Finance leases are included under “Property & Equipment, Net,” “Current Portion of Finance Lease Obligations,” and “Finance Lease Obligations, Non-Current.
The extended lease term will result in continued amortization of the ROU asset over the remaining lease period, with the associated lease liabilities being remeasured in accordance with ASC 842,Leases. The Company will continue to amortize the ROU asset in line with the revised lease terms and conditions, reflecting the financial impact of the extension in future periods.
Components of lease expense were as follows for the three months ending September 30, 2025, and 2024:

Note 16: Merger
As disclosed in Note 1, on February 10, 2023, the Company completed the Merger with Alliance and a Merger Sub, resulting in the Company becoming a publicly traded company. While Adara was the legal acquirer in the Merger, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Legacy Alliance was the accounting acquirer, and the Merger was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization (i.e., a capital transaction involving the exchange of stock by Alliance for Legacy Alliance’s stock) does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Legacy Alliance. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Legacy Alliance became the historical consolidated financial statements of the combined company, and Alliance’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with Legacy Alliance beginning on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Merger are presented as those of Legacy Alliance in future reports. The net assets of Alliance were recognized at historical cost (which was consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
At the closing of the Merger, each of the then issued and outstanding shares of Alliance common stock were cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Alliance common stock equal to the exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement). The Company’s 900 shares of previously outstanding common stock were exchanged for 47,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the treasury stock was cancelled. This change in equity structure has been retroactively reflected in the financial statements for all periods presented.
The following table summarizes the shares of Class A outstanding following consummation of the Merger:
| Alliance Public Shares | 167,170 |
|---|---|
| Alliance Sponsor Shares | 1,500,000 |
| Legacy Alliance Shares | 47,500,000 |
| Total Shares of Common Stock Outstanding after Merger | 49,167,170 |
Up to 60 million additional Class E shares may be issued to the Legacy Alliance shareholders at no cost based on future performance of the company’s stock price, and 9.9 million warrants (Class A) that can be exercised for common shares at $11.50 per share (See Note 21). The 60 million Class E shares are set aside in an escrow account as additional consideration contingent on triggering events occurring within 10 years after the Merger. Upon reaching the following triggering events, the Class E shares will be released from the escrow account to the three major shareholders, and converted to Class A shares on a 1:1 basis:
| ● | If the stock price increases to $20 per share within 5 years, 20 million Class E shares will be released. |
| ● | If the stock price increases to $30 per share within 7 years, 20 million Class E shares will be released. |
| ● | If the stock price increases to $50 per share within 10 years, 20 million Class E shares will be released. |
Each share of Class A and Class E common stock has one vote, and the common shares collectively will possess all voting power and will have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Since the Class E shares are subject to vesting conditions and meet the contingent exercise and settlement provisions to be considered indexed to the Company’s stock, they are accounted for as equity instruments, and are reflected as a reduction of retained earnings, at their fair value on the date of the Merger.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred total transaction costs of approximately $5.0 million, including legal, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Merger, which was recorded as an expense as the transaction costs exceeded the proceeds received in the Merger.
In connection with the Merger, the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) became effective. The 2023 Plan is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan under which the Company can grant equity-based and other incentives awards to based officers, employees, and directors of, and consultants and advisers to, Alliance and its subsidiaries. The Company has reserved a total of 600,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance as or under awards to be made under the 2023 Plan. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is cancelled, is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any common stock subject to such award shall again be available for the grant of a new award. The 2023 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date), and the Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate it at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted, provided certain conditions are met, in accordance with the 2023 Plan. The price at which a share may be purchased upon exercise of a share option shall be determined by the Plan Committee; provided, however, that such option price (i) shall not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date such share option is granted, and (ii) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the 2023 Plan. On November 7, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2023 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock for issuance as or under awards to be made under the 2023 Plan to 1,000,000 shares. As of September 30, 2025,564,400 shares were awarded under the 2023 Plan.
Note 17: Asset Purchase
On December 17, 2024, the Company completed an asset purchase from Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, LLC, “an unrelated third party” for a total cash consideration to the seller of $7,551,000. The asset purchase included inventory, tooling equipment, and a trademark.
The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Inventory | $753 |
| Property and Equipment, tooling | 124 |
| Prepaid Assets | 2 |
| Accrued Liability | (25) |
| Total Identifiable net assets (liabilities) | 854 |
| Intangible assets (Trademark) (including capitalized costs) | 6,800 |
| Total Purchase Price (allocated) | $7,654 |
| Total Cash Consideration Paid to Seller | $7,551 |
| Capitalized Acquisition Costs (Legal and Shipping fees) | 103 |
The acquired intangible asset represents a trademark associated with the Company’s recently acquired product line, Handmade by Robots. The trademark is determined to have an indefinite useful life and will not be amortized. Instead, it will be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired, in accordance with ASC 350 (Intangibles – Goodwill and Other).
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, there was no impairment recorded.
Inventory was recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date and is expected to be sold within 18 months. Acquisition-related costs of $103 thousand, consisting of capitalized legal and shipping fees, included in the value of the intangible asset in accordance with ASC 805 -50-30-1. As a result, the total allocated purchase price, including capitalized costs, is $7.7 million.
Note 18: Reclassification of Private Warrants to Public Warrants
Reclassification from Liability to Equity
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, certain shareholders of the Company sold private warrants to third parties who were not deemed “permitted transferees” under the terms of the Warrant Agreement. In accordance with the Warrant Agreement, upon such a sale, the private warrants became subject to the same redemption provisions as the Company’s public warrants.
As a result of this change in terms, the affected warrants, which had previously been accounted for as a liability, were reclassified to equity. Accordingly, the Company reclassified approximately 769,000 warrants with a carrying value of $0.5 million from warrant liabilities to paid-in capital during fiscal 2025. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Prior period balances were not restated (See Note 21).
Note 19: Stock-Based Compensation:
As part of the Merger on February 10, 2023,600,000 shares were authorized for a one-time employee stock plan. The compensation committee approved 463,800 shares of restricted stock awards to employees on June 15, 2023. The shares fully vest on October 4, 2023. The company does not have an annual stock-based compensation plan.
In September 2024, the Company’s Board approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the 2023 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 400,000 shares of Class A common stock, for a total amount reserved under the 2023 Plan of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. On November 7, 2024, the Company’s stockholder approved the amendment to the 2023 Plan.
In connection with awards granted, the Company recognized $0.03 million and $0 in stock-based compensation during the three months ending September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Note 20: Impact of Warrant Liabilities on Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Certain outstanding warrants issued by the Company are classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, due to specific terms that require them to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, which resulted in fluctuations in the Company’s reported net income and earnings per share (EPS).
During the three months ending September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $1.5 million and a loss of $0.04 million, respectively, related to the fair value measurement of warrant liabilities, primarily due to changes in the market price of our common stock and the volatility assumptions used in the valuation model.
The fair value of the warrant liabilities at September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, was $2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and is recorded under warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Investors should note that the remeasurement of warrant liabilities is a non-operational, non-cash item. Future changes in fair value will continue to be recorded in earnings until the warrants are either exercised, transferred to public warrants or expire. Additional details on the fair value assumptions and measurement techniques are provided in Note 22 – Fair Value.
Note 21: Warrants
At September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, there were 6,519,083 Public Warrants,3,357,667 Private Placement Warrants, and 43,340 Representatives Warrants issued and outstanding, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Warrants”).
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant. It will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Warrants is then effective. A prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. Additionally, no warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants.
The Company filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023, its registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. The registration, as amended, became effective June 29, 2023.
Public Warrants:
The Public Warrants qualify for the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 and are therefore classified as equity on the consolidated balance sheets. They may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. The Public Warrants are currently exercisable at $11.50 per share and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem for cash the outstanding Public Warrants:
| ● | in whole and not in part. |
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant. |
| ● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption after the warrants become exercisable to each warrant holder; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the Public Warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right. |
Even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.
Private Placement Warrants:
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering but are classified as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as they are not considered indexed to the company’s own stock. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants as described above.
Representative Warrants
The Company issued Representative Warrants, for minimal consideration to ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (and/or its designees), in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of Alliance’s initial public offering, which are also classified as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Representative Warrants are identical to the Private Warrants except that so long as the Representative Warrants are held by ThinkEquity (and/or its designees) or its permitted transferees, the Representative Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iii) are entitled to registration rights and (iv) are not exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the Merger.
Note 22: Fair Value
The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements, for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company has classified the Private Placement Warrants and the Representative Warrants as Level 3 fair value measurements. Management evaluates a variety of inputs and then estimates fair value based on those inputs. As discussed below, the Company utilized the Black Scholes Model in valuing the Private Placement Warrants and Representative Warrants.
The estimated fair value of cash, trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are based on Level 1 inputs as the fair values approximate carrying amounts as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, based on the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
The estimated fair values of subordinated shareholder debt and the credit facility is based on Level 2 inputs, which consist of interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. As of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025 the estimated fair value of the Company’s short and long-term debt approximates it carrying value due to market interest rates charged on such debt or their short-term maturities.
The Company recomputes the fair value of the Private and the Representative Warrants at the issuance date and the end of each quarterly reporting period. Such value computation includes subjective input assumptions that are consistently applied each period. If the Company were to alter its assumptions or the numbers input based on such assumptions, the resulting fair value could be materially different.
The Company utilized the following assumptions to estimate fair value of the Private Warrants and Representative Warrants as of:
| September 30, | June 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2025 | |
| Stock Price | $6.81 | $3.77 |
| Exercise price per share | $11.50 | $11.50 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.54% | 3.63% |
| Expected term (years) | 2.36 | 2.62 |
| Expected volatility | 37.7% | 47.1% |
| Expected dividend yield | - | — |
The significant assumptions using the Lattice model approach for valuation of the Private Placement Warrants and Representative Warrants were determined in the following manner:
| (i) | Risk-free interest rate: the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a term matching the time to expiration. |
| (ii) | Expected term: the expected term is estimated to be equivalent to the remaining contractual term. |
| (iii) | Expected volatility: expected stock volatility is based on daily observations of the Company’s historical stock value and implied by market price of the Public Warrants, adjusted by guideline public company volatility. |
| (iv) | Expected dividend yield: expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s anticipated dividend payments. As the Company has never issued dividends, the expected dividend yield is 0%, and this assumption will be continued in future calculations unless the Company changes its dividend policy. |
The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy as follows (in thousands)
| Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Placement and Representative Warrants | $2,109 | $ | - | $ | - | $2,109 |

Note 23: Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2025, the Company refinanced its asset-based lending facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC and entered into a new five year $120 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at, at the Company’s option,(i) a base rate (the greatest of (a) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) the one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.0%), which shall not be less than 1.0%, plus a margin of 0.50% from the Effective Date until the end of March 2026 and 0.625% thereafter, or (ii) (x) the one-month term SOFR rate, which shall not be less than 0.0% or (y) the daily simple SOFR rate, which shall not be less than 0.0%, in each case, plus a margin of 1.50% from the Effective Date until the end of March 2026 and 1.625% thereafter. The agreement includes certain covenants, including financial maintenance provisions and reporting requirements.
Proceeds from the initial borrowings were used to repay in full all outstanding obligations under the Company’s prior credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC and to fully repay the $10 million subordinated loan from the Bruce Ogilvie, Jr. Trust dated January 20, 1994. These repayments extinguished all related obligations, and no prepayment penalties or termination fees were incurred. Additional details regarding this transaction are included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 2, 2025.
Management evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that, other than the refinancing described above, no other subsequent events required adjustment to or disclosure herein.
