Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Digital Brands Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on September 17, 2012 under the laws of Delaware as a limited liability company under the name Denim.LA LLC. The Company converted to a Delaware corporation on January 30, 2013 and changed its name to Denim.LA, Inc. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company changed its name to Digital Brands Group, Inc.
On February 12, 2020, Denim.LA, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bailey 44, LLC (“Bailey”), a Delaware limited liability company. On the acquisition date, Bailey became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 4.
On August 30, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Mosbest, LLC dba Stateside (“Stateside”) pursuant to its Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Moise Emquies to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Stateside. On the acquisition date, Stateside became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 4.
On December 30, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of Sunnyside, LLC dba Sundry (“Sundry”) pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Moise Emquies to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Sundry. On the acquisition date, Sundry became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Reverse Stock Split
On December 11, 2024, the Board of Directors approved aone-for-50 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for each series of the Company’s preferred stock. The reverse stock split became effective as of December 11, 2024. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
In the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their audit report regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. That conclusion was based on conditions existing as of the audit date, including recurring operating losses and liquidity constraints.
The Company has not generated profits since inception and has sustained net losses of $4,207,772 and $4,194,215 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company also incurred negative cash flows from operations for the same periods. Historically, the Company has lacked sufficient liquidity to satisfy obligations as they come due and, as of June 30, 2025, reported a working capital deficit of $8,915,105. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments as a result of this uncertainty.
Through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, the Company has been primarily financed through the issuance of capital stock and debt. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses, which it has done, or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities, which it has done. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Company has several potential sources of cash including cash warrants that are registered and exercisable that are in the money, the ability to initiate an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering under its current shelf registration statement, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Management’s Plans
In February 2025, the Company completed an offering consisting of the sale of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants for gross proceeds of $7,500,000, before deducting placement agent fees and commissions and other offering expenses.
In August 2025, the Company completed a private offering consisting of the sale of shares of Series D convertible preferred stock for $11,225,000 and a warrant exercise for $5,000,000 for gross proceeds of $16,225,000, before deducting placement agent fees and commissions and other offering expenses.
As of August 13, 2025, the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $542,578 as of June 30, 2025, together with the net proceeds received from the August 2025 offering, and measures described below, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses, debt obligations and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Throughout the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations from the funds raised through the August 2025 offering. Additionally, the Company intends to fund operations from increased revenues due to its new marketing efforts, including its collegiate apparel program and increased wholesale pricing, through settlement and renegotiation of aged payables, conversions of outstanding debt and accrued interest, and continuing its cost cutting measures, which the Company has already made during the first six months of 2025. The Company also plans to continue to fund its capital funding needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources. This may include warrant exercises and/or ATM equity financings.
As of June 30, 2025, management has reassessed the Company’s financial position and believes that the conditions which previously raised substantial doubt have been alleviated. The assessment is based on the current state of operations, the $16,225,000 offering, the additional capital sources available to the Company, and the cash on hand of approximately $14,600,000 at August 13, 2025. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months as of the date of these financial statements.
Accordingly, management has not included going concern language in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the prior audit report has not been reissued or revised, and users should refer to that report for the independent registered public accounting firm auditor’s opinion as of December 31, 2024.
There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available in the future. If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be forced to curtail or suspend its business plans.
NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period presented. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Bailey, Stateside and Sundry). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to related parties, related party note payable, and convertible debt. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities is representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable and Expected Credit Loss
We carry our accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less allowances for customer credit losses and other deductions to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the consolidated balance sheet. We do not accrue interest on the trade receivables. Management evaluates the ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Receivables are determined to be past due based on individual credit terms. An allowance for credit losses is maintained based on the length of time receivables are past due, historical collections, or the status of a customer’s financial position. Receivables are written off in the year deemed uncollectible after efforts to collect the receivables have proven unsuccessful. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers.
We periodically review accounts receivable, estimate an allowance for bad debts, and simultaneously record the appropriate expense in the statements of operations. Such estimates are based on general economic conditions, the financial conditions of customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Past due accounts are written off against that allowance only after all collection attempts have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company determined an allowance for credit losses of $311,398 and $295,837, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and accounted for using the weighted average cost method for the Company’s DSTLD brand and first-in, first-out method for Bailey, Stateside and Sundry. The inventory balances as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 consist substantially of finished good products purchased or produced for resale, as well as any raw materials the Company purchased to modify the products and work in progress.
Inventory consisted of the following:
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Raw materials | $782,035 | $665,450 |
| Work in process | 250,820 | 250,820 |
| Finished goods | 3,042,439 | 2,907,670 |
| Inventory | $4,075,294 | $3,823,940 |
Property, Equipment, and Software
Property, equipment, and software are recorded at cost. Depreciation/amortization is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. The balances at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consist of software with three year lives, property and equipment with three to 10 year lives, and leasehold improvements which are depreciated over theshorter of the lease life or expected life.
Depreciation and amortization charges on property, equipment, and software are included in general and administrative expenses and amounted to $3,371 and $4,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions in which it obtains control of one or more businesses as a business combination. The purchase price of the acquired businesses is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments, in the period in which they are determined, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Intangible assets are established through business combinations and asset acquisitions. Technology assets are acquired through asset acquisitions, while brand names and customer relationships are primarily recognized in connection with business combinations. Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets are as follows:
| Customer relationships | 3 years |
| Technology assets | 5 years |
Impairment
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets (property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested annually for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The annual goodwill impairment test allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units or an entity may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to step one of the quantitative impairment test. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required.
The quantitative impairment test calculates any goodwill impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of a reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. It is our practice, at a minimum, to perform a qualitative or quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter at every year end on December 31st.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets established in connection with business combinations consist of the brand name. The impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Convertible Instruments
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.
Accounting for Preferred Stock
The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument.
If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, liability accounting is not required by the Company. The Company has presented preferred stock within stockholders’ equity.
Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a discount to the preferred stock. The discount is not amortized.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with FASB ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers¸ the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of a contract with a customer; |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied |
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product, upon shipment of product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
The Company derives its revenue primarily from wholesale and e-commerce transactions. For both channels, revenue is recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, which is the point in time when control is transferred. The Company considers the sale of products as a single performance obligation. For the Company’s licensing agreement via Bailey, the Company recognizes royalty revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the license agreement.
The Company provides the customer the right of return on the product and revenue is adjusted based on an estimate of the expected returns based on historical rates.
The Company deducts discounts, sales tax, and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax collected from clients is not considered revenue and is included in accrued expenses until remitted to the taxing authorities. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net revenues. All shipping and handling costs are accounted for as distribution expenses, and are therefore not evaluated as a separate performance obligation.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of inventory sold and related freight-in. Cost of revenues includes direct labor pertaining to our inventory production activities and an allocation of overhead costs including rent and insurance.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits costs, professional services and information technology. General and administrative expenses also include payment processing fees, design and warehousing fees.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedging relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
Stock Option and Warrant Valuation
Stock option and warrant valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model. For warrants and stock options issued to non- employees, the Company accounts for the expected life based on the contractual life of the warrants and stock options. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options grants. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options. The number of stock award forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.
The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.
Segment Information
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of June 30, 2025, we hadone operating segment which pertains to the sale of apparel. All brands and reporting units currently report to the Chief Executive Officer. Each of our brands serve or are expected to serve customers through our wholesale, in store and online channels, allowing us to execute on our omni-channel strategy. We have determined that each of our brands share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating businesses are aggregated into one reportable segment. All of the operating businesses have met the aggregation criteria and have been aggregated and are presented asone reportable segment, as permitted by ASC 280. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.
Net Loss per Share
Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Series A convertible preferred stock | 542 | 542 |
| Series C convertible preferred stock | 1,500 | 1,946 |
| Common stock warrants | 33,651,481 | 58,681 |
| Stock options | 31 | 31 |
| Total potentially dilutive shares | 33,653,554 | 61,200 |
The stock options and warrants above are out-of-the-money as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for both operating and finance leases. However, the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption under ASC 842, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statement of operations. This policy simplifies accounting for leases of shorter duration while maintaining compliance with disclosure requirements.
NOTE 4: DUE FROM FACTOR
The Company, via its subsidiaries, Bailey, Stateside and Sundry, assigns a portion of its trade accounts receivable to third-party factoring companies, who assume the credit risk with respect to the collection of non-recourse accounts receivable. The Company may request advances on the net sales factored at any time before their maturity date. The factor charges a commission on the net sales factored for credit and collection services. For one factoring company, interest on advances is charged as of the last day of each month at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.5% for Bailey. For Stateside and Sundry, should total commission and fees payable be less than $30,000 in a single year, then the factor shall charge the difference between the actual fees in said year and $30,000 to the Company. Interest on advances is charged as of the last day of each month at a rate equal to the greater of either, (a) the Chase Prime Rate + (2.0)% or (b) (4.0)% per annum. For another factoring company, interest is charged at 1/33 of 1% per day, which rate will increase or decrease in accordance with changes in the “Prime Rate”, which such prime rate to be deemed to be 4.25% on the date of the agreement.
Advances are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the companies’ assets.
Due to/from factor consist of the following:
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Outstanding receivables: | ||
| Without recourse | $766,866 | $460,815 |
| With recourse | 14,091 | 142,914 |
| Matured funds and deposits | 60,653 | 61,941 |
| Advances | (500,483) | (275,484) |
| Due from factor, net | $341,127 | $390,186 |

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Open Daily APA”) with Open Daily Technologies Inc. (“Open Daily”). Pursuant to the terms of the Open Daily APA, the Company agreed to purchase, and Open Daily agreed to sell certain intellectual property owned by Open Daily, including, but not limited to, patent applications, trademarks, and software products and platforms (the “Open Daily Assets”), but not any liability or obligation of Open Daily in connection with the Company’s purchase of the Open Daily Assets, in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 344,827 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Open Daily Acquisition”) for total equity consideration of $3,000,000. The Open Daily Acquisition closed on April 2, 2025.
The Open Daily Acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition as it met the concentration test under ASC 805-10-55 and was and does not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805-10-20. Pursuant to ASC 805-20-55, the Company identified a single unit of account for the acquired assets, which was deemed to be technology assets. The fair value of the technology assets was $3,000,000, based upon the purchase price noted above. As of June 30, 2025, the technology assets were not yet placed in service and amortization has not begun.
The Company recorded amortization expense of $416,540 and $719,547 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $833,080 and $1,439,094 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations
NOTE 6: LIABILITIES AND DEBT

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the Vendor may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants.

| ● | On April 17, 2024, a former employee filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Company. The employee was part of the marketing team, which was fully transitioned to a third-party outsourced marketing solution.

Of this amount, $41,000 was paid in June 2025, with the remaining $40,000 to be paid in three equal installments of $13,000 in July 2025, August 2025, and September 2025. |

All claims above, to the extent management believes it will be liable, have been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.
Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, we may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, we believe based on our current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Except as may be set forth above the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, and the Company is not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us. In the future, the Company might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from its ordinary course of business, the resolution of which the Company does not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES
The Company has historically calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance is required due, cumulative losses through June 30, 2025, and no history of generating taxable income.
