Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reliance Global Group, Inc., formerly known as Ethos Media Network, Inc. (“RELI”, “Reliance”, or the “Company”), was incorporated in Florida on August 2, 2013.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), as the same may be amended from time to time. Capitalized terms not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to capitalized terms as defined in the Form 10-K. Certain prior period accounts and balances in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto may have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s reported cash and restricted cash aggregated balance was approximately $1,812,000, current assets were approximately $3,850,000 and current liabilities were approximately $3,928,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $77,000 and stockholders’ equity of approximately $2,617,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $1,407,000 and net loss of approximately $1,737,000.
Although there can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company believes its financial position and its ability to raise capital to be reasonable and sufficient. Based on our assessment, we do not believe there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of filing these unaudited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash and restricted cash (restricted for debt service coverage) reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled to the total shown on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as follows:
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | $388,379 | $680,138 |
| Restricted cash | 1,423,128 | 1,432,847 |
| Total cash and restricted cash | $1,811,507 | $2,112,985 |
Revenue Recognition
The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by line of business, showing commissions earned:
| Three Months ended | Medical | Life | Property and Casualty | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | $3,282,938 | $36,947 | $916,335 | $4,236,220 |
| March 31, 2024 | $3,273,979 | $56,217 | $752,242 | $4,082,438 |
The following are customers representing 10% or more of total revenue:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Insurance Carrier | 2025 | 2024 |
| Priority Health | 42% | 45% |
| BlueCross BlueShield | 16% | 13% |
No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s commission revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Income Taxes
The Company recordedno income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company defers specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual equity offering of securities and charges them against the gross equity proceeds of the offering once consummated. Such costs may include fees charged by underwriters, attorneys, regulators, printers and transfer agents. If the share offering is later aborted or withdrawn, these deferred costs are expensed at that time. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred financing costs amounted to $84,904 and $10,060 respectively, presented in the prepaids and other current assets account on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements not already disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
If there is a loss from operations, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Similarly, if the Company has net income but its preferred dividend adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS.
The following calculates basic and diluted EPS from operations:
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Net loss | $(1,736,882) | $(5,346,663) |
| Net loss, numerator, basic computation | (1,736,882) | $(5,346,663) |
| Recognition and change in fair value of warrant liabilities | - | - |
| Net loss, numerator, diluted computation | $(1,736,882) | $(5,346,663) |
| Weighted average common shares, basic | 2,612,721 | 386,413 |
| Effect of Series B Warrants | - | - |
| Weighted average common shares, dilutive | 2,612,721 | 386,413 |
| Loss per common share – basic | $(0.66) | $(13.84) |
| Loss per common share – diluted | $(0.66) | $(13.84) |
Additionally, the following are considered anti-dilutive securities excluded from weighted-average shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share:
| For the Three Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Shares subject to outstanding common stock options | 16 | 643 |
| Shares subject to outstanding Series A warrants | 6,647 | 6,647 |
| Shares subject to outstanding Series B Warrants and PAW | 959 | 51,939 |
