Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.

Note 1 –Nature of Business

Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a The Singing Machine Company, Inc.) (the “Company”) is an artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology and consumer electronics holding company with two primary business units – SemiCab and Singing Machine. SemiCab is an AI-enabled software logistics business operated through the Company’s subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, LLC. Singing Machine is a home karaoke consumer products business that designs and distributes karaoke products globally to retailers and ecommerce partners through the Company’s subsidiary, The Singing Machine Company, Inc.

The Company’s operations include its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SMC Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (“SMCL”), SMC-Music, Inc., a Florida corporation (“SMCM”), SMC (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“SMH”), The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Singing Machine”), MICS Hospitality Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MICS Hospitality”), MICS Hospitality Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MICS Hospitality Management”), and MICS Nomad, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MICS NY”), and its 80%-owned subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“SemiCab Holdings”).

During 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31.

Effective September 5, 2024, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended to change the name of the Company from “The Singing Machine Company, Inc.” to “Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.”

On January 13, 2025, the Company’s stockholders voted to authorize the Company’s board of directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a specific ratio within a range of 1-for-10 to a maximum of 1-for-250 and to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 800,000,000 shares. On January 14, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split of 1-for-200 ratio and approved the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect the reverse stock split and to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 800,000,000. The reverse stock split took effect on Monday February 10, 2025. All current and prior year balances have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Note 2 –Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was $7,550,000. This will not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has a recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are issued.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and that the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments will continue in the ordinary course of business.

The Company plans to finance operations by obtaining additional capital through external sources of financing. It may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of debt securities. The Company has not made arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

In making this assessment, management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances including its financial position, cash flow and outflow forecasts, and obligations and debts. Although management has a recent history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash resources outside the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries SMCL, SMCM, SMH, Singing Machine”, MICS Hospitality, MICS, MICS Hospitality Management, MICS NY, and its eighty percent (80%)-owned subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

The Company evaluates its business relationships with related parties to identify potential Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation. The Company will consolidate any VIE in which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company will be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest has the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both characteristics are met and, then the Company will consolidate that VIE into its consolidated financial statements.

As prescribed by ASC 810, if the Company holds a variable interest in an entity that is a VIE, but the Company is not the entity’s primary beneficiary, then the Company must disclose the methodology (e.g., significant judgments and assumptions made) that it used to determine that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Additional information required includes information about the types of involvement considered significant, and those considered in the determination of whether the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary.

Furthermore, if the Company provides or intends to provide financial or other support, whether explicitly or implicitly, to the VIE when not contractually required to, the Company must disclose the type and amount of the support along with the primary reasons for providing the support. Both qualitative and quantitative information about the Company’s involvement with the VIE must be disclosed, including the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the VIE and how the VIE is financed.

The Company determined that SMCB Solutions Private Limited, an Indian Company (“SMCB”), is a VIE because the Company provides financial support to SMCB in the form of a loan agreement to fund SMCB’s operations. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because the Company does not have the power to direct or control SMCB’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification of Prior Periods Presentation

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. Significant estimates include allowance for credit losses, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, reserve for sales returns, co-op promotion incentives, accruals relating to litigation, goodwill, share-based compensation expense and warrant liability.

Segment Reporting

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280,Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purposes of ASC 280. The CODM concluded that the Company operates two reportable segments. One segment consists of its SemiCab business and the other segment consists of its Singing Machine business. The CODM manages the Company’s operations and business separately for each operating segment and uses net loss to allocate resources, making operating decisions and evaluating financial performance. The CODM also uses net loss, along with non-financial inputs and qualitative information, to evaluate the Company’s performance, establish compensation, monitor budget versus actual results, and decide the level of investment in various operating activities and other capital allocation activities.See Note 15 – Segment Information and Revenue Disaggregation – Segment Information.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Expected Credit Losses

The Company recognizes credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2016-13,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on its estimate of expected credit losses and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates specific identified risks and the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections, current forecasts of future economic conditions over the time horizon the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. As needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones, and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. In addition, the Company reports an estimated amount for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns (returns asset) related to the Company’s defective allowance, overstock, and warranty policies. Substantially all of the Company’s inventory consists of finished goods.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using straight-line methods.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the implicit rate for its finance leases.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805,*Business Combinations.*The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its carried value.

Long Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant and Equipment(“ASC 360”). The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset or intangible asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows.

The Company hadno impairment loss related to long-lived assets or intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 or the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivables and accounts receivable – related party, trade payables advances and notes payables and notes payable – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Finally, the Company determines if the warrants meet the definition of a derivative based on their contractual terms. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance, as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding and at interim dates if circumstances warrant such analysis.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also evaluates if changes in contractual terms or other considerations would result in the reclassification of outstanding warrants from liabilities to stockholders’ equity (or vice versa).

**Revenue Recognition **

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct); (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.

The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies performance obligations as the delivery of the requested product or service in appropriate quantities and to the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time when the product is delivered or shipped, at which time, title passes to the customer and there are no further performance obligations with regard to the product.

The Company selectively participates in retailers’ co-op promotion incentives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor and to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches by providing marketing fund allowances to its customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers is recorded as a reduction to net sales. Co-op promotion incentives were $2,059,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 and $2,648,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation, which is the sale of its products. The Company’s contracts have no financing elements. Payment terms are generally less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.

Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as the Company’s underlying customer agreements are less than one year.

Reserve for Sales Returns and Returns Asset

While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, it does accept defective returns, warranty exchanges and overstock from seasonal customers. The Company estimates the sales value of goods to be returned from its allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a reserve for sales returns is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns was $3,355,000 and $3,390,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company estimates the net realizable value of these expected future sales returns. The net realizable value of these estimated returns is classified as return assets as part of current assets on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s return assets were $1,621,000 and $1,919,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. Shipping and handling expenses were $592,000 and $561,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has granted stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee members of its board of directors. The Company also has an equity incentive plan that provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with all share-based payments based on grant date fair values. The fair value of each stock option and stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and stock purchase rights. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price and several assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

For grants of stock options, the Company uses a blend of historical and implied volatility for traded options on its stock to estimate the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s use of blended volatility estimates in computing the expected volatility assumption for stock options is based on its belief that while the implied volatility is representative of expected future volatility, the historical volatility over the expected term of the award is also an indicator of expected future volatility. The Company utilizes a blended volatility estimate that consists of implied volatility and historical volatility in order to estimate the expected volatility assumption of the Black-Scholes model.

The expected term of stock options granted is estimated using historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the Company’s stock options and stock purchase rights. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate assumption for all types of share-based compensation awards based on historical forfeiture rates related to each category of award.

Compensation costs associated with grants of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are measured at fair value, which has historically been the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of each individual award, which generally equals the vesting period, using the straight-line method for awards that contain only service conditions. For awards that contain performance conditions, the Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche, when achievement of that tranche is considered probable.

The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock awards on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740,Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has agreater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss available to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to acquire common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted net loss available to common stockholders computation in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU ”) 2023- 07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), that requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The standard also requires disclosure of the composition of other segment items included in the measure of segment profit or loss that are not separately disclosed. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective December 31, 2024 with additional disclosures detailed in the subsequent notes.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separate by federal and individual tax jurisdictions, and the amount of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between federal, state and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires disclosure on an annual and interim basis, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04,Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). This ASU clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company’s operations or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Note 4 –Business Combination

On June 11, 2024, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, SemiCab, Inc., Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume certain specified liabilities, of SemiCab, Inc. On July 3, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), the parties completed the acquisition and, on that date, the Company issued 3,209 shares of the Company’s common stock and a 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings to SemiCab, Inc. The Company acquired SemiCab, Inc.’s business to diversify the Company’s business.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that the Company entered into on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement that granted SemiCab Holdings the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SMCB, which is a subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc., for 1,605 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not exercise this right and the option agreement expired unexercised on August 31, 2024.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, effective July 3, 2024, SemiCab Holdings entered into employment agreements with Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal. Mr. Kapoor’s agreement is for a term of three years with an annual base salary of $140,000 for 2024, $240,000 for 2025, and $300,000 for 2026. Mr. Sehgal’s agreement is for a term of three years with an annual base salary of $105,000 for 2024, $210,000 for 2025, and $240,000 for 2026. Both executives’ salaries are subject to annual review by the board of managers of SemiCab Holdings.

The value of the consideration paid by the Company to SemiCab, Inc. for the SemiCab business was $983,000. The 3,209 shares issued to SemiCab, Inc. were valued at $494,000 on the Acquisition Date based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the Acquisition Date discounted for a lack of marketability. The Company recognized a non-controlling interest at fair value as of the Acquisition Date in the amount of $74,000, representing the value of the 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings that was issued to SemiCab, Inc. in the transaction. The 20% membership interest was valued at the Acquisition Date based on the fair value of the implied value of SemiCab Holdings based on the value of the Company’s common stock issued on the Acquisition Date. The Company recorded a measurement period adjustment during the fourth quarter of 2024 that reduced the value of finite lived intangible assets acquired in the transaction by $1,050,000. This had the effect of increasing goodwill by $1,050,000.

The following table presents the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values:

Note 5 –Property and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill

A summary of the Company’s property and equipment at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Depreciation expense was $192,000 and $287,000 for the year ended December 2024 and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s intangible assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Amortization expense was $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not have any intangible assets or goodwill at December 31, 2023.

The Company tested the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on December 31, 2024 to see if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its carried value. The Company calculated a market-based valuation utilizing inputs classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy by multiplying one by projected 2025 revenue for the SemiCab business. The Company determined that, as a result of the SemiCab generating less revenue than anticipated, an impairment charge of $3,592,000 should be recorded as of December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the changes in the value of the goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition of SemiCab business:

Note 6 –Notes Payable to Related Parties

SemiCab Holdings assumed several unsecured loans from Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal in the acquisition of SemiCab, Inc.’s business. The Company had accrued interest payable of $6,000 as of December 31, 2024 that was included as a component of accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred interest expense on these loans of $36,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The terms of each loan are summarized in the table below:

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company entered into waivers and amendments with each of the note holders who are parties to the loans described above that were in default at December 31, 2024 pursuant to which the maturity dates of the loans were extended to February 1, 2026. As a result of the execution of the waivers and amendments, the Company cured the defaults that had existed at December 31, 2024 due to non-payment on the original maturity dates of the notes.

Note 7 –Credit Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements

Fifth Third Bank Asset-Backed Revolving Credit Facility

On October 14, 2022, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Fifth Third Financial Corporation.

The equity plan provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

The maximum number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance under the plan was 1,167 shares of common stock and thereafter, beginning in 2023, an annual increase would occur as of the first day of the Company’s applicable fiscal equal to the lesser of: (i) five percent of the outstanding shares of common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii) 167 shares; and (iii) a lesser amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the equity plan that lapse, terminate, expire prior to exercise, are canceled, or are forfeited, become available for issuance again under the equity plan. Shares

subject to a stock award under the equity plan do not become available for issuance or delivery again under the equity plan if such shares are: (i) shares tendered by a participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the Company for the exercise or purchase price of an award; or (ii) shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an award.

The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the plan or a portion of it at any time; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the plan. The plan is scheduled to terminate automatically in 10 years following the earlier of: (i) the date the Company’s board of directors adopted the plan; and (ii) the date the stockholders approved the plan.

As of December 31, 2024, there were 1,500 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan. Of this amount, awards representing 1,183 shares of common stock had been granted under the plan and 317 shares remained available for issuance under the plan.

Note 11 –Net Loss Per Share

The computations of basic and dilutive loss per share of commons stock outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:

The computation of the fully diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock underlying in-the-money options and warrants have been issued upon the exercise of the options and warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.

For the year ended December 31, 2024,536 shares of common stock underlying stock options and 563,335 shares of common stock underlying warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

December 2024 Public Offering

On December 4, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in connection with a public offering of an aggregate of 21,000 shares of its common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 258,412 shares of common stock, Series A warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock, and Series B warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock, or a pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with the accompanying warrants to purchase one share of common stock.

The public offering price for each share of common stock and one accompanying Series A warrant and Series B warrants was $34.00. The public offering price of each pre-funded warrant and one accompanying Series A warrant and Series B warrant was $32.00. The exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is $2.00 per share. Each Series A warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock and has an initial exercise price equal to $34.00. Each Series B warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock and has an initial exercise price equal to $68.00. The Series A and B warrants have a term of five and two and one-half years, respectively, from the date the issuance of the warrants was approved by shareholders. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds upon the closing of the offering of approximately $9,000,000, before deducting placement agents’ fees and other offering expenses.

The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and may be exercised at any time until all pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The Series A and B warrants will be exercisable only upon receipt of such shareholder approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq to permit the exercise of the Series A and B warrants, after which the Series A warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years and the Series B warrants will be exercisable for two and one-half years. The pre-funded warrants and Series A and B warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price, including for stock splits, stock dividends and pro rata distributions and contain customary terms regarding the treatment of such pre-funded warrants or the Series A and B warrants in the event of a fundamental transaction, which include but are not limited to a merger or consolidation involving the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a business combination resulting in any person acquiring more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Additionally, the pre-funded warrants, Series A warrants, and Series B warrants include restrictions on exercise in the event the purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

The Series A and B warrants include an exercise price adjustment feature upon shareholder approval, whereby the exercise price will adjust to the greater of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the reset period or the floor price ($6.844 per share), with a proportional increase in the number of warrant shares. The Series A and B warrants can be settled by a cash exercise or by cashless exercise, and the Series B warrants specifically can be settled by way of an alternative cashless exercise after shareholder approval is obtained, in which the Series B warrant holders can receive the same number of shares of common stock that would be issuable under a cash exercise. Upon meeting certain stock price requirements, the Company has the right to redeem any outstanding Series A and Series B warrants for $2.00 per share, provided the holders do not elect to exercise prior to redemption.

The Company assessed the pre-funded warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the pre-funded warrants met the requirements to be classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company assessed the Series A and B warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Series A and B warrants will be classifiedas liabilitiesas they do not meet the requirements to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, due to (a) the adjustment to the exercise price tied to shareholder approval, and (b) the potential change in the settlement amount of the Series B warrants upon an alternative cashless exercise election. Additionally, the Company concluded at issuance that it would not have sufficient authorized and available shares of common stock to settle the Series A and B warrants. SeeNote 13 – Derivative Liability.

At inception, the estimated fair value of the Series A warrants was $5,900,000 and the Series B warrants was $11,000,000, for a total estimated fair value of $16,900,000. The total fair value exceeded the proceeds received in the offering by $8,000,000, which the Company recorded as a loss upon issuance of warrants. The Company also expensed approximately $900,000 of issuance costs incurred in the offering, resulting in a total loss on issuance of $8,889,000. The estimated fair values of the Series A and B warrants have been recorded as a derivative liability at issuance and at December 31, 2024. In the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $334,000 for the change in the fair value measurement of the warrant liability.

During December 2024, the 258,412 pre-funded warrants were exercised in full, resulting in the Company receiving $500,000 in cash proceeds.

On January 14, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Series A and B warrants that had been issued by the Company in the public offering of securities that the Company had completed on December 6, 2024, at which time all of the Series A and B warrants became exercisable. This approval triggered the adjustment to the exercise price. In connection with this approval, the holders of the Series B Warrants exercised their warrants in full under the alternative cashless exercise provision, resulting in the issuance of 1,910,975 shares of common stock and no additional proceeds received by the Company.

The Company performed an analysis in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The analysis performed to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets included an evaluation of the pattern and timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the length of carryback and carryforward periods available under the applicable federal, state and foreign laws; and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and concluded that a valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was necessary based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s recent history of losses and projected losses for fiscal year 2024 and in the future.

The actual tax provision differs from the “expected” tax for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2023 (computed by applying the U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate of 21% to income before taxes) as follows:

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had federal tax net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $19,452,000 and $6,149,000, respectively, that begin to expire in the year 2025. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an IRS Section 382 limitation that limited the amount available to use beginning in fiscal 2020 to $150,000 per year. In addition, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards during those periods of $23,100,000 and $2,453,000, respectively that began to expire in 2024. These tax net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to further adjustment based on future changes in ownership.

At December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP and concluded that a valuation allowance of $8,039,000 against deferred tax assets is necessary. The change in valuation allowance increased $4,439,000 to $8,039,000 as of December 31, 2024 from $3,600,000 as of December 31, 2023. The recognition of the remaining net deferred tax asset and corresponding tax benefit is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, and recent operating results.

Note 15 –Segment Information and Revenue Disaggregation

Segment Information

As previously detailed inNote 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Segment Reporting, pursuant to ASC 280, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purposes of ASC 280. The CODM concluded that the Company operates two reportable segments. One segment consists of its Singing Machine business and the other segment consists of its SemiCab business. The CODM manages the Company’s operations and business separately for each operating segment and uses net sales and net loss to allocate resources, making operating decisions and evaluating financial performance. The CODM also uses net sales and net loss, along with non-financial inputs and qualitative information, to evaluate the Company’s performance, establish compensation, monitor budget versus actual results, and decide the level of investment in various operating activities and other capital allocation activities.

The following table details the revenues, significant expenses and other segment items regularly provided to the CODM:

The following reconciles total segment assets to consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2024:

The Company only hadone reportable segment for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, which consisted of its Singing Machine business. As the Company only had one reportable segment, the measure of segment assets at December 31, 2023 is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

The Company’s accounts receivable balance, net of an allowance of $139,182, was$7,305,920 as of December 31, 2022.

Notes 16 –Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties Bank Liquidity and Financial Stability

At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of this financial institution and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

U.S. Trade Policies

U.S. government administration and members of the U.S. Congress have recently implemented significant changes in U.S. trade policy and taken certain actions that are impacting the Company’s business, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Some of these changes have triggered retaliatory actions by affected countries and may result in “trade wars” and increased costs for goods imported into the United States. All of the Company’s products are manufactured and imported from China and the Company sells its products in Canada and other countries. The implementation of tariffs has resulted in an increase in the cost of the Company’s products. If the Company is unable to mitigate these increased costs through price increases, it may experience lower sales which would negatively impact its revenue, gross profit margin and results of operations.

Revenue Concentration

The Company derives a majority of its revenues from sales of its products in North America by retailers. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable is concentrated with several large customers. At December 31, 2024,68% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in North America that each individually owed more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. On December 31, 2023,82% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that each individually owed more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

Revenue derived from the Company’s top five customers and top three customers collectively as a percentage of total net sales was 79% and 81% of our revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales were derived from top four customers for the year ended December 31, 2024 as percentage of the net sales were 26%,22%,16% and 12%, respectively. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales were derived from top three customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 as percentage of the net sales were 48%,21% and 12%. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company.

SMCB

VIE Analysis

The Company determined that SMCB, which is a subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc., is a VIE as the Company provides financial support to SMCB. While not contractually obligated, SMCB currently relies on the Company’s reimbursement of certain costs under an intercompany services agreement (“MSA”) whereby SMCB agrees to provide IT software development services to SemiCab, Inc. In exchange, under the MSA, the Company grants intellectual property rights to SMCB to use the software platform in India. Compensation for services is invoiced and paid on a monthly or quarterly basis as agreed by both parties, with rates subject to periodic review and revision. The agreement is for a term of two years ending on April 1, 2025 and automatically renews for additional 12-month periods unless prior notice is given by the terminating party. The agreement automatically renewed for an additional 12-month period on April 1, 2025. As a result of this relationship and the financial support provided by the Company to SMCB under the loan agreement described below to fund SMCB’s operations, SMCB has been determined to be a VIE.

The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because the Company does not have the power to direct or control SMCB’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that the Company entered into on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement that granted SemiCab Holdings the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SMCB for 1,605 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not exercise this right and the option agreement expired on August 31, 2024.
