Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AYRO, Inc. (“AYRO” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, New York. The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, have historically been engaged in manufacturing and sales of environmentally conscious, minimal-footprint electric vehicles. The all-electric vehicles are typically sold both directly to customers and to dealers in the United States. Recently, the Company began a digital asset-based treasury strategy, involving the deployment of corporate treasury assets for the acquisition of crypto tokens that are directly capitalizing on the rapid growth of the stablecoin industry.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company effected a 1-for-16 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”) on June 25, 2025, which began trading on a split-adjusted basis on June 26, 2025, pursuant to which every 16 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were reclassified as one share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split had no impact on the par value of the Company’s common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share information prior to the Reverse Stock Split, in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, prior to the rounding of any fractional shares. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number of shares, upon which 124 shares of common stock were issued in June 2025.
**NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN **
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of earlier stage commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, other technology companies and other technologies. The Company has a limited operating history and the sales and income potential of its business and market are unproven.
The Company had net loss of $13,298,007 and negative cash flow used in operations of $4,100,960 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, overall working capital decreased by $15,870,447 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management believes that the existing cash as of June 30, 2025 and as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q will not be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In order to have sufficient cash to fund the Company’s operations in the future, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital and cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital to fund the Company’s operations, the Company may need to sell some or all of its assets or merge with another entity. As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
Reclassification
Certain line items in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cashflows for the six months ended June 30, 2024, have been reclassified to conform to the comparative period presentation for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily the presentation on the proceeds and purchases of marketable securities, which were previously presented net as change in marketable securities, net, are now shown gross as proceeds from sale of marketable securities and purchase of marketable securities. These reclassifications have no effect on net cash provided by (used in) investing activities or on total cash flows.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
Increase of Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On May 23, 2025, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, from 200,000,000 to 1,200,000,000.
Series H-7 Warrants
In June 2023, the Company issued certain warrants to purchase common stock (the “Series H-7 Warrants”) pursuant to the Series H-7 Purchase Agreement (as defined below). The Series H-7 Warrants are entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments, if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price. The exercise price of the Series H-7 Warrants is subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price. Pursuant to the share combination event adjustment provisions in the Series H-7 warrant the Reverse Stock Split adjusted the exercise price from $32.00 per share to $6.1933 per share and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series H-7 Warrants was adjusted proportionally to an additional 2,922,020 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 3,623,270 Series H-7 Warrants outstanding.
The additional Series H-7 Warrants were determined to be subject to liability classification as they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock but fail to meet the requirements for equity classification. In accordance with ASC 815. As such, the Company recorded the Series H-7 Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements for inputs related to the Company’s use of the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the value of the Series H-7 Warrants.
A summary of the Company’s warrants to purchase common stock activity is as follows:
| Shares Underlying Warrants | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 722,761 | $51.04 | 3.44 |

Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, that it believes are incidental to the operation of its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, other than the matters noted above, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows.
NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of the Company’s common stock and estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of the Company’s common stock, the time to maturity of the convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a penalty dividend rate, and the Company’s probability of default. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions, as noted above: dividend yield, expected term in years, equity volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of marketable securities and money market accounts represents a Level 1 measurement. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
