Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Effective March 24, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. was renamed “Amaze Holdings, Inc.” (“Amaze”). Amaze Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Company”, “our”, “we”), is an innovative software company dedicated to empowering creators by providing comprehensive software solutions and services that facilitate e-commerce, social commerce, integrated commerce selling experiences, and the distribution of a premium wine brand. The Company is a Nevada corporation. In March 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Amaze Software, Inc., see Note 2.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, typically the result of a majority voting interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements. In certain instances, amounts reported in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

Liquidity, Going Concern, and Management Plan** **

Historically, the Company has incurred losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of approximately $31.3 million as of March 31, 2025. Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $1.4 million and $333,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $23.1 million working capital deficit, inclusive of approximately $457,000 in cash and $28,000 in restricted cash.

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $615,000 from a preferred stock offering and $1,500,000 from the issuance of notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its liquidity needs through a combination of factors including but not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, working capital and strategic capital raises. The ultimate success of these plans is not guaranteed.

In considering our forecast for the next twelve months and the current cash and working capital as of the filing of this Form 10-Q, such matters create a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to meet their financial needs and continue as a going concern.

The Company will need additional debt or equity financing to sustain existing operations. If adequate financing is not available, the Company will be forced to take measures to severely reduce our expenses and business operations or discontinue them completely. Such financing, if available, may be dilutive. At the current reduced pace of incurring expenses and with receipt of additional financing, including potential proceeds pursuant to an equity line of credit entered into by the Company on May 6, 2025 (see Note 18), and the receipt of proceeds from the expected sales, the Company projects that the existing cash balance will be sufficient to fund current operations into 2026, after which additional financing or capital may be needed to satisfy obligations. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional financing is available, it may be highly dilutive to existing shareholders and may otherwise include burdensome or onerous terms. The Company’s inability to raise additional working capital in a timely manner would negatively impact the ability to fund operations, generate revenues, maintain or grow the business and otherwise execute the Company’s business plan, leading to the reduction or suspension of operations and ultimately potentially ceasing operations altogether and initiating bankruptcy proceedings. Should this occur, the value of any investment in the Company’s securities would be adversely affected.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Business Combination Agreement with Adifex

On November 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) Amaze Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pubco”), (ii) VINE Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly subsidiary of Pubco (“VINE Merger Sub”), (iii) Adifex Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Adifex Merger Sub”), and (iv) Adifex Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adifex”). On March 7, 2025, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger with Amaze Software, Inc.

On March 7, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Amaze Software, Inc. (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Amaze Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Amaze Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the stockholders of Amaze Software, Inc., and Aaron Day, solely in his capacity as the Holders’ Representative. Amaze Software, Inc. is an end-to-end, creator-powered commerce platform offering tools for seamless product creation, advanced e-commerce solutions, and scalable managed services.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Amaze Software, Inc. with Amaze Software, Inc. as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) the aggregate merger consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition included 750,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), plus warrants (the “Merger Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 2.

Termination of Agreement and Plan of Merger with Notes Live

On January 25, 2024, the Company, FVW Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Notes, Live, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Notes Live”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Notes Live Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub would merge with and into Notes Live, with Notes Live continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 31, 2024, the Notes Live Merger Agreement was terminated.

Accounting Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, equity-based compensation for employees and non-employees, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash

The Company maintains its accounts at two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Restricted Cash

Included in the cash balance is a balance of approximately $28,000 and $0 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These funds are reserved as part of the ongoing legal dispute with Timothy Michaels, see Note 17. These funds are not available for disbursements.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable consists of amounts owed to the Company for sales of the Company’s products on credit and are reported at net realizable value. Credit terms are extended to customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions. The Company estimates allowances for future returns and doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and its evaluation of the current status of receivables and an evaluation of a reasonable forecast of future events. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off against the allowance. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there was approximately $9,000 and $13,000 in the allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively. Amounts written-off or recovered during the period were not material to the financial statements. No accounts receivable were written off during the 3-month periods ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. No such recoveries were recorded during the 3-month periods ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. Provisions for (reductions to) the allowance for credit losses totaled $(3,927) and $0 for the 3-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Computer Equipment

Computer equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements to computer equipment are capitalized at cost. Depreciation of owned assets are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The cost of assets sold or retired, and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in other income (expense) for the year. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. The goodwill generated from the business combinations is primarily related to the value placed on the employee workforce and expected synergies. Judgment is involved in determining if an indicator or change in circumstances relating to impairment has occurred. Such changes may include, among others, a significant decline in expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate, and unforeseen competition.

The goodwill test is performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The annual impairment test includes an option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value; the qualitative test may be performed prior to, or as an alternative to, performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, no further analysis is required.

The Company operates under two reporting units. The quantitative impairment test involves the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company calculates the fair value of each reporting unit using either (i) a discounted cash flows analysis that converts future cash flow amounts into a single discounted present value amount or (ii) a market approach. The Company assesses the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time that the valuation is performed. The Company compares the estimate of fair value for the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value is greater than the estimate of fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in the amount of the excess.

The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had no balance of goodwill. The balance of goodwill as of March 31, 2025 is derived from the Acquisition completed in March 2025. The Company is in the process of completing its formal valuation analysis to identify and determine the fair values acquired related to this Acquisition.

Inventories

Inventories primarily include bottled wine which is carried at the lower of cost (calculated using the average cost method) or net realizable value.

The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories that are obsolete or for which market conditions indicate cost will not be recovered to estimated net realizable value. The Company’s estimate of net realizable value is based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical experience, future demand, and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost of revenues. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded no inventory allowance.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs primarily consists of legal fees and any other fees relating to the Company’s Series C preferred stock offering. The deferred offering costs were capitalized as incurred and were offset against proceeds from the sale of Series C preferred stock at the closing of the Company’s offering.

Investment in Equity Securities

The Company accounts for equity investments in public companies by adjusting the fair value at each reporting period based on the readily determinable fair value.

The Company holds one investment in Venu Holding Corp, previously known as Notes Live, Inc. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $38,000 and $34,000, respectively.

Revenue recognition

E-commerce

The Company’s e-commerce revenue reflects merchandise sales, digital product sales and shipping domestically and internationally. Revenues are recognized as the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Each contract includes a single performance obligation to transfer control of the product to the customer. Control is transferred when the product is either shipped or delivered, depending on the shipping terms, at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue at a point in time. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity, with amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling included in total revenue.

ASC 606 notes that when another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the entity should determine whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The Company does not bear responsibility for inventory losses and does not have pricing determination; therefore, the Company has determined it is the agent and revenue is therefore recognized as net sales.

Subscriptions

The Company also offers the option to have Amaze host custom domain names where subscribers can choose from available options. The annual fees vary depending on selections made at time of subscription. The Company also offers an option where subscribers can connect their store to their already established domain name. Each subscription includes a single type of performance obligation to transfer control of the subscription to the customer. Revenue is recognized over time, on a time elapsed method, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits.

Wine Products

The Company’s wine revenue reflects the sale of wine domestically in the U.S. to wholesale distributors or DTC customers. Under ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the Company is expected to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products. Each contract includes a single type of performance obligation to transfer control of the product to the customer. Control is transferred when the product is either shipped or delivered, depending on the shipping terms, at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity, with amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling included in total revenue.

The Company also generates revenue through membership in its wine club. Wine club members pay a monthly fee, which varies depending on level of membership, and are entitled to receive quarterly shipments of wine, free shipping, and discounts on other wine and merchandise purchased. The Company recognizes revenue for the monthly membership dues when the product is delivered. Any membership dues received before the product is delivered is recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet.

Except for e-commerce and subscription revenues, products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Credit terms are established in accordance with local and industry practices, and typically require payment within 30-60 days of delivery or shipment, as dictated by the terms of each agreement. E-commerce and subscription revenues are generally paid immediately at the time of order by a customer. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not account for significant financing components as its payment terms are less than one year, and the Company determines the terms at contract inception.

The following table presents the percentages of total consolidated revenue disaggregated by sales channels for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Contract Balances and Receivables

When the Company receives pre-orders or payment from a customer prior to transferring the product or services under the terms of a contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company will record deferred revenue when cash is collected from customers prior to the shipment date. The Company does not recognize revenue until control of the product is transferred and the performance obligation is met. When the Company does not receive payment from a customer prior to or at the transfer of the product under the terms of a contract, the Company records an accounts receivable.

Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024 were approximately $4.3 million, $2,000 and $3,000, respectively. The Company acquired contract liabilities totaling approximately $3.8 million in the Acquisition. Revenue recognized in the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024 from contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was approximately $2,000 and $3,000, respectively.

Receivables with customers as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, were $6,937, $6,966 and $172,101, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s accounting for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis adheres to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

●Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.
●Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
●Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Level 1Total
Venu Holding Corp. (formerly known as Notes Live, Inc.)$462,500$462,500
Level 1Total
Venu Holding Corp. (formerly known as Notes Live, Inc.)$466,500$466,500

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred revenue and other financial working capital items approximate fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to the short maturity nature of these items.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Codification Topic 740,Income Taxes, which requires that we recognize a current tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards to the extent they are realizable. The Company considers future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at the end of each quarter. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that we will realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount over a reasonably short period of time, a reduction of the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, if we determine that it is more likely than not that we will not realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an increase to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. For those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There were no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, and as such, no interest or penalties were recorded to income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included on the balance sheet that would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company measures equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognizes any forfeitures as they occur.

The Company measures equity-based compensation when the service inception date precedes the grant date based on the fair value of the award as an accrual of equity-based compensation and adjusts the cost to fair value at each reporting date prior to the grant date. In the period in which the grant occurs, the cumulative compensation cost is adjusted to the fair value at the date of the grant.

See Note 13 for further discussion of equity-based compensation incurred in 2025 and 2024.

Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities

Under ASC 405-20, the Company recognizes gains or losses arising from the extinguishment of liabilities, depending on the nature of the contract and the underlying transaction. A gain on extinguishment is considered to occur when the parties to a contract agree to terminate or modify their obligations in exchange for a negotiated payment or other consideration. Gains recognized when all performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied or legally extinguished, and the consideration paid is less than the carrying amount of any liabilities derecognized or assets transferred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company extinguished certain liabilities that resulted in a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of approximately $18,000 and $0, respectively.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $7,000 and $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operation.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), a company constituting an “emerging growth company” is, among other things, entitled to rely upon certain reduced reporting requirements and is eligible to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies.

The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocable opts out of the extended transition period provide in the JOBS Act.

NYSE Listing Requirements

On September 8, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE American stating that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), which requires a listed company that has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years to maintain at least $4 million of stockholders’ equity. The Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and has had losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. As required by the NYSE American, the Company submitted a plan to the NYSE American on October 9, 2023 addressing actions it has taken and how it intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards within the required 18 month period ending March 8, 2025.

On November 21, 2023, the Company received notification (the “Acceptance Letter”) from NYSE American that the Company’s plan to regain compliance with NYSE American’s listing standards was accepted. The Acceptance Letter also stated that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, which requires an issuer to have stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two out of its three most recent fiscal years. NYSE American granted the Company a plan period through March 8, 2025, to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company Guide. If the Company was not in compliance with all continued listing standards by that date or if the Company did not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the Company would be subject to delisting proceedings.

On March 10, 2025 the Company received notification that it has resolved the stockholders’ equity deficiency with respect to Section 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, and that the Company is now in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards relating to stockholders’ equity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November of 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to provide disaggregated disclosures of specific expense categories underlying all relevant income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The effective date for the standard is 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 evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

In December of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09*, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which includes amendments that enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of income tax rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 to assess the impact on our financial statement disclosures and to determine the transition method in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 were effective for the Company beginning with its annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 using a retrospective approach for all prior periods presented. Other than the additional disclosures provided in Note 4, the adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company or its results of operations.

2. ACQUISITION

On March 7, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Amaze Software, Inc. (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Amaze Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Amaze Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amaze Software”), the stockholders of Amaze Software, and Aaron Day, solely in his capacity as the Holders’ Representative. Amaze Software is an end-to-end, creator-powered commerce platform offering tools for seamless product creation, advanced e-commerce solutions, and scalable managed services.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Amaze Software with Amaze Software as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) the aggregate merger consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisition included 750,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), plus warrants (the “Merger Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Acquisition was recorded as a business combination on a preliminary valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to their fair value of the assets and liabilities (“Level 3” inputs). We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material. The following table details the approximate preliminary purchase price allocation as the acquisition date:

Cash$592,000
Accounts receivable24,000
Prepaid expenses and other599,000
Computer equipment, net9,000
Goodwill98,037,000

Deferred revenues(3,768,000)
Note payable, current portion(7,486,000)
Total net assets acquired$75,000,000

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price consideration over the preliminary valuation of the net assets acquired.

Pro forma disclosure for the Amaze Software Acquisition

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as if the Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2025. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of the operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on the assumed date:

March 31, 2025
Sales$109,948
Net loss(4,690,381)

Pro forma information for the period from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 is not provided as assumptions about management’s intent surrounding significant estimates could not be independently substantiated.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the numbers of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued and were dilutive. However, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS to the extent that their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table shows the components of diluted shares for the periods ending:

2024 Convertible notes

In October 2024, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with two accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell up to an aggregate principal amount of $600,000 of secured convertible promissory notes (“2024 Convertible Notes”) and 5-year warrants to purchase up to 740,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The 2024 Convertible Notes were issued with original issuance discount of 20%, resulting in gross proceeds of $500,000 to the Company. The 2024 Convertible Notes bear no interest unless an event of default occurs, and mature on April 4, 2025, and are secured by all assets of the Company. The 2024 Convertible Notes were not repaid on or before April 4, 2025. As a result, the notes bear interest at a rate of 10%. The 2024 Convertible Notes may be prepaid without penalty. Each 2024 Convertible Note is convertible into common stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price equal to $0.40.

The Company reviewed the warrants in connection with the securities purchase agreements under ASC 815 and concluded that the warrants are not in scope of ASC 480 and are not subject to the derivative guidance under ASC 815. Accordingly, the warrants were equity classified. As such the principal value of the 2024 Convertible Notes was allocated using the relative fair value basis of all instruments. As the warrants were issued with another instrument the purchase price was allocated using the relative fair value method (i.e., warrants at its fair value and the 2024 Convertible Notes at its principal value allocated using the relative fair value of the proceeds received and applied proportionally to the equity classified warrants and 2024 Convertible Notes).

2025 OID Notes

In February 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with three accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell up to an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000 of Secured Original Issue Discount Promissory Notes (the “2025 OID Notes”) with original issuance discount of 10%. At the initial closing, the Company sold $1,650,000 aggregate principal amount of 2025 OID Notes, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,500,000. The 2025 OID Notes bear no interest unless an event of default occurs, and mature on November 6, 2025. The 2025 OID Notes are secured by certain accounts of the Company pursuant to a pledge agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2025 OID.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On July 27, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Stock”), which was amended on August 1, 2023 prior to the issuance of any shares of Series A Stock by filing Amendment No. 1 thereto (as so amended, the “Series A Certificate”). The Series A Certificate designates 10,000 shares of the Company’s undesignated preferred stock as Series A Stock and establishes the rights and preferences of Series A Stock.

On August 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement shares of Series A Stock.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers collectively agreed to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Series A Stock at a per share purchase price equal to $100.00 (the “Stated Value”), for total gross proceeds of up to $1.0 million. The Purchasers agreed to purchase 4,000 shares of Series A Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000 at an initial closing of the offering (the “Initial Closing”), which occurred on August 2, 2023. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the Company will issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase, an additional 4,000 shares of Series A Stock at a second closing, which occurred on September 7, 2023. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the Company will issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase, an additional 2,000 shares of Series A Stock at an optional closing, which occurred on December 1, 2023.

Each share of Series A Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the date of the Initial Closing at the option of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of common stock (“Conversion Shares”) calculated by dividing the Stated Value by a conversion price of $0.10. However, if the Company’s common stock fails to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on a stock exchange, then the conversion price thereafter will mean the lesser of (i) $0.10, or (ii) the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date; provided that the conversion price shall not be less than $0.05 (the “Floor Price”). The conversion price is subject to standard adjustments based stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and the like, and the Floor Price is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments resulting from future offerings of common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price less than the prevailing conversion price.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Stock will (i) first be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to 150% times the Stated Value for each share of Series A Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities and (ii) then be entitled to participate in the distribution of remaining assets with the holders of common stock on an as-if-converted to common stock basis (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations).

Each holder of a share of Series A Stock is entitled to receive dividends payable, subject to certain conditions, in cash or shares of common stock (“Dividend Shares”) valued as either (i) the then applicable conversion price, or (ii) 50% of the then current market price of the Company’s common stock, at the dividend rate of 12% per annum. Dividends are cumulative and will be payable on July 31st of each year. If the dividend is not paid as of July 31, 2024, the dividend rate increases to 24% per annum. However, the Company may not pay dividends by issuing Dividend Shares if and to the extent that the issuance of such Dividend Shares, when added to all Conversion Shares previously issued upon prior conversions of Series A Stock and previously issued Dividend Shares (if any), would exceed the Exchange Share Cap or result in a Series A Stock holder beneficially owning shares of common stock in excess of the Individual Holder Share Cap, in each case unless the Company obtains stockholder approval for such issuances.

The shares of Series A Stock will vote with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company other than any proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Share Cap or the Individual Holder Share Cap. The Preferred Shares will vote on an as-converted to common stock basis, taking into account the conversion limitations resulting from the Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap, if and as applicable; however, solely for purposes of determining voting rights, the conversion price shall be equal to the most recent closing sale price of the common stock as of the execution and delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Series A Stock meets the requirements for permanent equity classification as prescribed by the authoritative guidance.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 14, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate”). The Series B Certificate designates 50,000 shares of the Company’s undesignated preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Stock”) and establishes the rights and preferences of Series B Stock.

During 2024, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement shares of Series B Stock. In 2024, 50,000 shares of Series B Stock had been sold for a total in gross proceeds of $5 million.

Each share of Series B Stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the number of shares common stock (“Conversion Shares”) calculated by dividing the stated value of $100 (the “Stated Value”) by the conversion price of $0.45 (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to the limitations described below. However, if the Company’s common stock fails to be listed or quoted for trading on a stock exchange (currently, the NYSE American), then the “conversion price” thereafter will mean the lesser of (i) $0.45, or (ii) the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date; provided that the conversion price shall not be less than $0.05 (the “Floor Price”). The conversion price is subject to standard adjustments based stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and the like, and the Floor Price is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments resulting from future offerings of common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price less than the prevailing Floor Price.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series B Stock will be entitled to be paid, on a pari passu basis with the payment of the liquidation preference afforded to holders of Series A Stock and any other class or series of capital stock that expressly ranks pari passu with the Series B Stock in liquidation preference, an amount equal to 150% times the Stated Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any distribution or payment will be made to the holders of common stock. Any remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed pro rata among the holders of shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and common stock.

Except for stock dividends or distributions for which adjustments are to be made pursuant to antidilution provisions of the Series B Certificate, holders of Series B Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series B Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock.

The Company may redeem (i) up to 75% of the issued and outstanding Series B Stock for a price per share equal to 150% of the Stated Value thereof if such redemption occurs within six months from the date of issuance, and (ii) up to 50% of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Shares for a price per share equal to 200% of the Stated Value thereof if such redemption occurs after six months but before the expiration of twelve months from the date of issuance.

The Series B Stock will vote with the common stock and the Series A Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company other than any proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of Series B Stock in excess of the Exchange Share Cap or the Individual Holder Share Cap. The shares of Series B Stock will vote on an as-converted to common stock basis, taking into account the conversion limitations resulting from the Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap, if and as applicable; however, solely for purposes of determining voting rights, the Conversion Price with respect to each share of Series B Stock shall be equal to the most recent closing sale price of the common stock as of the execution and delivery of the securities purchase agreement or other subscription or similar agreement pursuant to which such share of Series B Stock was issued by the Company.

The Company previously engaged The Oak Ridge Financial Services Group, Inc. (“Oak Ridge”) to serve as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with capital raising activities. In connection with the Series B Stock offering, the Company has agreed to pay Oak Ridge a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering, in addition to reimbursing Oak Ridge for its out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, the Company issued to Oak Ridge (or its designee) seven-year warrants to purchase up to a total of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share. In 2024, the total offering costs in connection with Series B Stock issuances were approximately $201,000.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 25, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate”). The Series C Certificate designates 100,000 shares of the Company’s undesignated preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Stock”) and establishes the rights and preferences of Series C Stock.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a private placement shares of Series C Stock at a purchase price of $100.00 per share, plus warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 with 100% warrant coverage. As of March 31, 2025, 6,150 shares of Series C Stock have been sold for a total in gross proceeds of $615,000.

Each share of Series C Stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the number of shares common stock (“Conversion Shares”) calculated by dividing the stated value of $100 (the “Stated Value”) by the conversion price of $0.75 per share (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to the limitations described below. The conversion price is subject to standard weighted average anti-dilution protection.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series C Stock will be entitled to be paid, on a par passu basis with holders of any parity securities, including Series A Stock and Series B Stock, an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any distribution or payment will be made to the holders of junior securities, including Series D Stock and common stock. Any remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders will be distributed among the holders of Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder on an as-if converted basis.

Holders of Series C Stock are entitled to receive dividends (on an as-if converted basis) equal to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock.

The Series C Stock will vote with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders (taking into account the conversion limitations resulting from the Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap as described below). However, the Series C Stock is not entitled to vote on any proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of Series C Stock in excess of the Exchange Share Cap or the Individual Holder Share Cap, in each case as required by NYSE American rules. In addition, solely for purposes of determining voting rights (and not the Conversion Ratio), the conversion price will be equal to the most recent closing sale price of the common stock as of the date of execution and delivery of the Series C Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such share of Series C Stock was initially issued.

The Company previously engaged Oak Ridge to serve as a non-exclusive financial adviser to the Company in connection with its capital raising activities. The Company has agreed to pay Oak Ridge a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Series C Stock to investors introduced by Oak Ridge, and to reimburse Oak Ridge for its out-of-pocket expenses.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 7, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate”). The Series D Certificate designates 750,000 shares of the Company’s undesignated preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Stock”) and establishes the rights and preferences of Series D Stock.

During the first quarter of 2025, as the consideration paid in the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series D Stock, plus warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share.

Each share of Series D Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the number of shares of common stock (“Conversion Shares”) calculated by dividing the stated value of $100 (the “Stated Value”) by the conversion price of $0.80 per share (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to the limitations described below. In addition, upon the Company’s stockholders approving the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Stock in accordance with the listing rules of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide, each share of Series D Stock will automatically convert into a number of shares of common stock based on the Conversion Ratio. The conversion price is subject to standard weighted average anti-dilution protection.

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series D Stock will be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any distribution or payment will be made to the holders of common stock. Any remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders will be distributed among the holders of Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and common stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder on an as-if converted basis.

Holders of Series D Stock are entitled to receive dividends (on an as-if converted basis) equal to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock.

The Series D Stock will vote with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders (taking into account the conversion limitations resulting from the Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap as described below). However, the Series D Stock is not entitled to vote on any proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of Series D Stock in excess of the Exchange Share Cap or the Individual Holder Share Cap, in each case as required by NYSE American rules. In addition, solely for purposes of determining voting rights (and not the Conversion Ratio), the conversion price will be equal to the most recent closing sale price of the Common Stock as of the date of entering into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which such share of Series D Stock was initially issued.

Preferred Stock Liquidation Rights

Preferred stock carries certain preference rights related to both the payment of dividends and as to payments upon liquidation in preference to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company. With respect to distributions upon liquidation of the Company, the Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock rank senior to the Series D Stock and common stock and rank equally among themselves.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards. The inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model require management’s significant assumptions. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the price per share of common stock was determined by the Company’s board based on recent prices of common stock sold in private offerings. Subsequent to the IPO, the price per share of common stock is determined by using the closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate for U.S. Treasury securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The expected term for employee and non-employee awards ranged from 5 to 10 years based on industry data, vesting period, contractual period, among other factors. The expected volatility was estimated based on historical volatility information of the Company. The Company does not expect to pay dividends. For awards with a performance condition, stock compensation is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied.
