Empery Digital Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Organization and Nature of Operations

Empery Digital Inc. (“Empery Digital” or the “Company”) was formed on February 21, 2020, as a Delaware corporation, under the name Frog ePowersports, Inc. The Company was renamed Volcon, Inc. on October 1, 2020. The Company was renamed Empery Digital Inc. on July 30, 2025, in connection with which the Company changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol from VLCN to EMPD.

Effective as of July 17, 2025, the Company adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy with the goal of becoming a leading, low cost, capital efficient, globally trusted aggregator of Bitcoin. Empery Digital was founded as the first all-electric powersports company sourcing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Going forward the Company intends to operate the powersports brand under the brand name Empery Mobility. The Company believes electric vehicles are the future of off-roading, not only because of their environmental benefits but also because of their near-silent operation, which allows for a more immersive and enjoyable outdoor experience.

On January 5, 2021, the Company created Volcon ePowersports, LLC (“Volcon LLC”), a Colorado wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to sell Volcon vehicles and accessories in the United States. Since 2023 Volcon LLC has not been used for selling vehicles and accessories. The Company intends to rename Volcon LLC in the future.

Going Concern

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has recurring losses and has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception.

In February and March 2024, certain holders of the convertible notes issued by the Company in May 2023 (the “May 2023 Convertible Notes”) converted approximately $7.4 million of principal to common stock. In March 2024, the holders exchanged the remaining $24.7 million outstanding principal amount of May 2023 Convertible Notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a $1,000 per share value and an initial conversation price of $1,064.00 per share for common stock (see Note 9). All covenants from the May 2023 Convertible Notes were terminated upon this exchange.

As discussed further in Note 6 below, on May 22, 2024, the Company issued Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,942,170 due May 22, 2025 (the “May 2024 Notes”) for net proceeds of $2,255,851. The holders of the May 2024 Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “May 2024 Note Warrants”) to purchase 1,589 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1,856.00 per share. The May 2024 Note Warrants were exercisable beginning November 23, 2024 and expire November 23, 2029.

On July 12, 2024, the Company sold 12,826 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $233.60 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 38,544 shares of common stock at $233.60 per pre-funded warrant. The Company received net proceeds of $10,789,261. Proceeds from this offering were used to repay the May 2024 Notes.

In October 2024, the Company established an At the Market equity offering program (“ATM”) whereby the Company can sell up to $100 million of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company has raised net proceeds of $8,846,761 from sales under the ATM.

On February 6, 2025, the Company sold 53,750 common stock units and 696,250 pre-funded warrant units at $16.00 per unit in an underwritten public offering. The Company received net proceeds of $10,703,882 from this offering.

As discussed further in Note 13 below, on July 21, 2025 the Company completed private placements with certain institutional and accredited investors (“Private Placements”) for the sale of 44,414,189 shares of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”) at a price of $10.00 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,728,662 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.00001, for $9.99999 per share of the underlying common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of over $501 million which included the settlement by certain purchasers using Bitcoin valued at approximately $28.0 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $481 million after fees and expenses associated with the Private Placements. The Company intends to use these net proceeds to purchase Bitcoin under its treasury strategy.

Management anticipates that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2025, plus cash expected to be generated from operations and the cash received from the Private Placements will be sufficient to fund planned operations beyond one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Nasdaq Compliance

On July 5, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires that it maintain a market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) of $35 million. MVLS is calculated by multiplying the Company’s shares outstanding by the closing price of its common stock. On December 19, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

On December 26, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) as the closing bid price of our common stock had been below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days from December 11, 2023 through December 22, 2023 and was subject to delisting on January 2, 2024. On January 4, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it did not meet the MVLS requirement and it was subject to delisting. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for both of these matters, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on March 26, 2024 and on April 2, 2024, they informed the Company that the Company had until June 24, 2024 to regain compliance with the above listing rules.

On June 11, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq that the Company no longer met the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement for Nasdaq and, as such, it no longer complied with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). Furthermore, the notice indicated that this matter would serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, that the Panel would consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq, and that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than June 18, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq notifying them that the Company was in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) due to the issuance of additional shares of common stock from the conversion of preferred stock to common stock by certain Preferred Stockholders.

On July 17, 2024, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will continue to be monitored for ongoing compliance.

On May 13, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for this matter, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Company completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on June 24, 2025. On July 17, 2025, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will need to continue to remain in compliance with the minimum bid price rule through November 10, 2025 in order to avoid delisting.

Impact of Tariffs on Imported Goods from China and Vietnam

On April 2, 2025, the U.S. imposed reciprocal tariffs on imports from various countries including China and Vietnam starting with a 10% baseline tariff. On April 9, China-specific tariffs increased significantly, while Vietnam’s tariffs were deferred for an initial 90-day period. That pause was later extended to August 1, 2025, and then to August 7, 2025, maintaining Vietnam’s tariff at the baseline 10% during such extension.

Following ongoing negotiations, a tentative trade deal with Vietnam was reached on July 2, 2025. U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese goods would be set at 20%, while goods deemed to be Chinese in origin but routed through Vietnam (transshipments) would be subject to a 40% tariff. This replaces the originally stated 46% rate.

China remains subject to an additional 30% tariff (down from the temporary increase, effective mid-May) under the continued reciprocal framework. That rate is in effect through August 12, 2025, pending further amendment.

Tariffs imposed by the current administration continue to impact the Company’s cost for vehicles and parts manufactured in China and Vietnam. With the expected Vietnam tariff rate of 20%, the Company can continue sourcing from Vietnam, though it would likely result in a modest reduction in margins and a corresponding increase in retail pricing. The Company remains actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including U.S. assembly or shifting production as well as potentially adjusting selling prices to offset elevated import costs.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Results for the interim periods in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results and have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and for the three and six months ended June, 2025 and 2024. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are consistent with the adjustments recorded to prepare the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On June 11, 2025, the Company completed a reverse 1-for-8 stock split. All share and per share amounts previously disclosed have been updated to reflect the impact of this reverse split. See Note 9 for further discussion.

Per the terms of the 1-for-8 reverse stock split on November 8, 2024, the Company agreed that no fractional shares would be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and that it would issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. On November 19, 2024, the Company received notice from DTCC on behalf of the brokerage firms that hold the shares of Company common stock held in “street name” that in connection with the foregoing rounding of shares the Company would need to issue 23,617 shares of common stock. The Company did not believe the number of shares being requested was correct based on the historical number of stockholders of its common stock and is aware of similar occurrences in recent months for other companies completing a reverse stock split. As such, the Company made inquiries into the calculations set forth in the request. The Company concluded that the information requested was not going to be provided and therefore on May 5, 2025, these shares were issued. See Note 11 for further discussion of the impact to basic and diluted net loss per share.

Concentration Risk

The Company outsources certain portions of product design and development for its vehicles to third parties. In addition, the Company has outsourced the manufacturing of all of its vehicles to third party manufacturers.

On January 8, 2024, the Company notified the manufacturer of the Volcon Youth motorcycles that it was terminating the co-branding and distribution agreement with them due to lower than anticipated sales of these units. In March 2024, the Company agreed to allow the manufacturer to keep all fully paid for units manufactured and held by the manufacturer, cease selling the Volcon Youth motorcycles as of June 30, 2024, and pay cash of $2,070,000 which included a payment of $370,000 in March 2024 and $100,000 monthly for 17 months starting April 2024. All Volcon Youth inventory was written off as of June 30, 2024.

The settlement was recorded in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. On October 2, 2024, the Company and the manufacturer amended the settlement agreement and the Company agreed to pay the manufacturer $300,000 by October 31, 2024 to fully settle the remaining payments under the March 2024 agreement and to return any remaining spare parts and finished goods held by the Company in its Texas warehouse. The Company recognized a reduction of expense of $700,000 in cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to this amendment.

In June 2024, the Company was notified by the manufacturer of a suspension component for the Stag utility terrain vehicle (“UTV”) that due to the Company’s initial production forecast provided by the third party manufacturer of the Stag, the vendor had acquired raw materials to fulfill several months’ worth of this component needed for the forecast. Although the Company had provided updated forecasts to the third party manufacturer of the Stag, the revised forecasts were not provided timely to this vendor. The Company entered into an agreement to pay for the excess raw materials by making weekly payments of $13,791 through February 2026 and to purchase remaining finished goods. The Company recorded an expense of $1,091,308 in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2024. The remaining liability as of June 30, 2025 is $450,080, which is classified as short-term on the balance sheet.

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”) with the manufacturer of the Stag and Grunt EVO, pursuant to which the Company and the manufacturer agreed to terminate the Supplier Agreement dated March 11, 2022 for the development and engineering of the Volcon Stag vehicle prototypes; the Supplier Agreement dated May 29, 2022 for the manufacturing of the Volcon Grunt EVO motorcycle; and the Supplier Agreement dated August 11, 2022 for the manufacturing of the Volcon Stag vehicle (collectively, the “Supplier Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreement, among other items, the Company and the manufacturer agreed to indemnify each other with respect to certain outstanding vendor payables and the Company agreed to pay the manufacturer a termination fee of $125,000 per month for a period of twenty-two months. The short-term and long-term liability as of June 30, 2025 is $1,388,071 and $368,905, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 3 –SEGMENT REPORTING

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-7”), requiring public companies to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public companies with a single report segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements of ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company operates as one operating segment and the Company’s Co-CEOs are the chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”). The CODMs use the consolidated statement of operations to assess financial performance, which is based on costs by department, and allocate resources. See the condensed consolidated statement of operations above.

**NOTE 4 –NOTES PAYABLE **

In March 2023, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to purchase a vehicle with an interest rate of 11.44% and a monthly payment of $908 until February 2029. The vehicle is collateral for this arrangement.

The following table provides the maturities of notes payable as of June 30, 2025:

NOTE 5 -CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On May 24, 2023, the Company issued Senior Convertible Notes (the “New Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $4,934,783 (debt issuance costs of $586,698) due February 24, 2024 to the same investors who were issued convertible notes in August 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”). The New Notes had an initial conversion price of $3,657,600.00 per share of common stock, which was adjusted to $1,080,000.00 upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023. The conversion price was also subject to further adjustment if the Company completed an equity or convertible note offering with a price below $1,080,000.00, or completed a stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization where the lowest day’s volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock price is below $1,080,000.00 in the five days following the stock split, with a floor price of $0.22 (subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained on August 3, 2023). The conversion price was also subject to further adjustment if the Company completed an equity or convertible note offering with a price below $1,080,000.00. The New Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 8.8% and did not bear interest unless an event of default had occurred, upon which interest accrued at 10% per annum.

The holders of the New Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase four shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $1,569,600.00 per share. The New Warrants expire on August 24, 2027.

Concurrent with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company exchanged the Convertible Notes into two new notes, Series A Notes and Series B Notes both due February 24, 2024 (collectively the “Exchange Notes” and collectively with the New Notes the “May 2023 Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes was $3,690,422 and these were convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1,080,000.00 per share. The aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes was $23,483,491 and were convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1,569,600.00 which was adjusted to $1,080,000.00 upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023.

Events of default for the May 2023 Notes were defined in the note agreements and the Company was in compliance with all covenants until the May 2023 Notes were exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) on March 4, 2024 as discussed below.

The Company recognized interest expense of $314,838 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 for the accretion of the discount and amortization offering costs on the May 2023 Notes.

The Company also exchanged theseven Note Warrants with an exercise price of $4,104,000.00 per share issued with the Convertible Notes in August 2022 for 12 warrants which had an initial exercise price of $1,569,600.00 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”) and was adjusted to $1,080,000.00 per share upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023. The Exchange Warrants expire on August 24, 2027.

The conversion prices of the Exchange Notes, and the exercise prices of the New Warrants and Exchange Warrants (collectively the “May 2023 Warrants”) were subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company issues additional common stock, stock options, warrants or convertible notes with prices below the exercise price in effect at the time of issuance, or completes a stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization where the lowest day’s VWAP of the Company’s stock price is below the then exercise price in the five days following the stock split with a floor of $0.22 per share.

In September 2023, the Company and the holders of the Exchange Warrants entered into a warrant inducement agreement whereby the Exchange Warrant holders agreed to exercisetwo Exchange Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $504,000.00 per share. The Company issued the holders two warrants (“Reload Warrants”) with an initial exercise price of $720,000.00 per share. The Reload Warrants were immediately exercisable for unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock and have the same terms as the May 2023 Warrants and expire August 24, 2027. As discussed in Note 9 below, the holders of the Exchange and Reload Warrants notified the Company that they were forfeiting these warrants.

The May 2023 Warrants and Reload Warrants contained certain conversion limitations, providing that a holder thereof may not exercise such warrants to the extent that, if after giving effect to such conversion, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $7,414,025 of principal of the May 2023 Notes were converted into 622 shares of common stock. The Company recognized a loss of $333,544 on the conversion including the write off of $55,490 of unamortized debt issuance costs. On March 4, 2024, the remaining principal of the May 2023 Notes of $24,716,118 was exchanged for 24,698 shares of Series A convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 and an initial conversion price of $8,512.00. The Company recognized a loss on the exchange of the Convertible Notes for Preferred Stock of $1,314,065.

As a result of the exchange for Preferred Stock in March 2024, the May 2023 Notes are no longer outstanding. The May 2023 Warrants exercise price was reduced to$8,512.00 as a result of this exchange. See further discussion in Note 9.

NOTE 6 -MAY 2024 SENIOR NOTES

On May 22, 2024, the Company issued Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,942,170 due May 22, 2025 (the “May 2024 Notes”) for proceeds before expenses of $2,501,001 (issuance costs were $245,150). The notes were issued with an original issue discount of 15% and do not bear interest unless an event of default occurs, upon which interest will accrue at 10% per annum.

As discussed further in Note 9, the May 2024 Notes were fully repaid on July 12, 2024 and a loss of $1,470,554 was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024 for the early extinguishment of these notes. The holders of the May 2024 Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “May 2024 Note Warrants”) to purchase 1,589 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1,856.00 per share. The May 2024 Note Warrants were exercisable beginning November 23, 2024 and expire November 23, 2029. The number of warrants and the exercise price are subject to adjustment if the Company declares a stock dividend, stock split or recapitalization.

NOTE 7 -WARRANT LIABILITIES

Series A and Series B Warrants

As discussed in Note 9 below, the Company issued Series A and Series B Warrants (the “November 2023 Warrants”) in connection with the sale of common units and pre-funded warrant units. Under the terms of the November 2023 Warrants, the number and exercise price are subject to adjustment if the Company completes certain transactions specified in these warrant agreements. In addition, the Series A Warrants have a cashless exercise provision, if approved by stockholders, which would allow holders to cashless exercise one warrant for three shares of the Company’s common stock. Such adjustments were subject to stockholder approval (which was received on January 12, 2024). The Company initially determined that these warrants should be classified as liabilities and used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value until stockholder approval of the cashless exercise provision was completed.

Subsequent to the approval by stockholders of the cashless exercise provision of the Series A Warrant, the fair value of each Series A Warrant is the value of three shares of the Company’s common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $12,733,180 for the change in fair value of the Series A Warrants and the Company reclassified the fair value of Series A Warrants exercised on a cashless basis to stockholders equity in the amount of $17,352,653. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2025 of $6.96, the fair value of each Series A Warrant is $20.88 and based on the total number of warrants outstanding of 7,015, the warrant liability for Series A Warrants is $146,468 at June 30, 2025.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $2,174,673 on the change in fair value of the Series B Warrants and a gain of $165,355 from the exercise of the Series B Warrants. As discussed in Note 9 below, on May 17, 2024, certain terms of the Series B Warrants were amended, including a cashless exercise provision, which resulted in the Series B warrants no longer being liabilities. The fair value of each Series B Warrant is the value of the closing stock price of the Company times 0.81, the cashless exercise exchange ratio. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 17, 2024 of $1,849.60, the fair value of each Series B Warrant is $1,498.16. The fair value of the Series B Warrants of $3,405,662 as of May 17, 2024 was reclassified to equity. As of June 30, 2025,24 Series B Warrants remain outstanding.

The following represents the activity associated with the Series A Warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

The consulting agreement had a 24 month term and was cancellable by either party with 30 days notice. This consulting agreement terminates any remaining provisions of a prior consulting agreement entered into in March 2021 with Pink Possum, an entity controlled by Mr. Okonsky, with the exception of the four ten-year warrants with an exercise price of $1,416,960.00 which remain outstanding. On September 9, 2024, Mr. Okonsky resigned from the Board of the Company. The consulting agreement was amended and the monthly fee was amended to $8,333 per month for twelve months and the Change of Control Payment was eliminated. In March 2025, the Company and Mr. Okonsky entered into an agreement to terminate the consulting agreement and the Company paid Mr. Okonsky $38,000.

On August 28, 2020, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Highbridge Consulting Agreement”) with Highbridge Consultants, LLC (“Highbridge”), an entity controlled by Mr. Adrian James, a co-founder of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. James provided the Company with services in exchange for warrants. The Highbridge warrants were fully exercised on a cashless basis in 2021.

In addition, pursuant to the Highbridge Consulting Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) for an aggregate gross sales price of $100.0 million or more, the entity will receive a cash payment equal to 1% of such gross sales price. For the purposes of the Highbridge Consulting Agreement, “Fundamental Transaction” means any of the following: (i) a consolidation or merger involving the Company if the holders of the voting securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation or merger do not, immediately after the consummation of such consolidation or merger, hold voting securities that collectively possess at least a majority of the voting power of all the outstanding securities of the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or such surviving entity’s parent entity; (ii) a transfer or issuance (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) by one or more of the Company and its stockholders to one person or to any group of persons acting in concert, of shares of the Company’s capital stock then collectively possessing 50% or more of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock (computed on an as-converted to common stock basis); or (iii) any sale, license, lease, assignment or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Furthermore, commencing upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering of the shares of our common stock, if the Company’s market capitalization exceeds $300.0 million for a period of 21 consecutive trading days, the entity will receive an additional cash payment equal to $15.0 million; provided that the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to make the foregoing $15.0 million payment by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock. The foregoing amounts will be payable to the entity if the above milestones occur any time prior to the ten-year anniversary of the original Highbridge Consulting Agreement, or August 28, 2030.

On July 11, 2025, the Company entered into a release and termination agreement (the “Consultant Termination Agreement”) with Highbridge pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate and mutually release all of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Highbridge Consulting Agreement, (as amended on or about March 25, 2021), including the release of the Company’s obligation to make certain market capitalization milestone payments to Highbridge, in exchange for the payment by the Company of a termination fee in an aggregate amount of $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million was paid on July 14, 2025 and the remaining amount was paid on August 7, 2025.

For each $1,000 of May 2023 Note principal, one share of Preferred Stock was issued with a stated value of $1,000, and any principal held by an investor below $1,000 was granted one additional share of Preferred Stock. A total of 24,698 shares were issued in connection with the exchange. The Preferred Stock is initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $8,512.00 per share.

As a result of the reverse stock split completed on June 6, 2024, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was adjusted to $51.59.

As of December 31, 2024, all of the Preferred Stock (24,698 preferred shares) have been converted for 34,881 shares of common stock.

November 2023 Common Units and Pre-Funded Warrant Units

On November 17, 2023, the Company sold (i)12 common units (“Common Units”), each consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, a Series A warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $158,400.00 per share or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option (described below), which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series A Warrants”) and a Series B warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $241,920.00 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series B Warrants” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”); and (ii)138 pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units” and together with the Common Units, the “Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Common Unit was $120,960.00, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $120,957.12. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. All of the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised by January 9, 2024.

In addition, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional 23 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Public Offering, and/or additional three Series A Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series A Warrants sold in the Public Offering, and/or additional three Series B Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series B Warrants sold in the Public Offering solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to three Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. A total of 56 each of Series A and B Warrants were issued in the transaction.

Series A Warrants

Each Series A Warrant had an initial exercise price per share equal to $158,400.00, was immediately exercisable upon issuance, and expires on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, or November 17, 2028.

Share Combination Event Adjustments

Conditioned upon the receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval at a required special meeting of stockholders (“Special Meeting”), if at any time on or after the date of issuance there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Company’s common stock (collectively a “Share Event”) and the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days prior to the date of such event and the five consecutive trading days after the date of such event is less than the exercise price then in effect, then the exercise price of the Series A Warrant shall be reduced to the lowest daily VWAP during such period and the number of warrant shares issuable shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price on the date of issuance. Approval of this adjustment by the stockholders was made on January 12, 2024.

Cashless Exercise

If at the time a holder exercises its Series A Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then 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 holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Series A Warrants.

Conditioned upon the receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval at a required Special Meeting, a holder of Series A Warrants may also provide notice and elect an “alternative cashless exercise” pursuant to which they would receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise of the Series A Warrant and (y) 3.0. Approval of this adjustment by the stockholders was made on January 12, 2024.

The number of Series A Warrants were adjusted for the reverse stock split completed on June 11, 2025 and as a result of the February 6, 2025 common stock unit and pre-funded warrant unit offering in accordance with the Share Event provision noted above. As of June 30, 2025,7,015 Series A Warrants remain outstanding. Subsequent to the Private Placements completed on July 21, 2025 as discussed in Note 13 below and, in accordance with the Share Event provision noted above 4,737 Series A warrants remain outstanding.

Series B Warrants

Each Series B Warrant offered had an initial exercise price per share equal to $241,920.00, was immediately exercisable upon issuance, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, or November 17, 2028.

The number of Series B Warrants and exercise prices were adjusted for the reverse stock split completed on February 2, 2024 and when the Company exchanged the May 2023 Notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the Share Event provisions of the Series B Warrants.

On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into separate warrant amendment agreements (collectively, the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the Company’s Series B warrants issued November 2023. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, all outstanding Series B Warrants were amended to delete the following sections: (i) a provision providing for the adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants if the Company completed a future offering at a price per share less the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect; and (ii) a provision providing for the adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants if price of the Company’s common stock after the completion of a share split, share dividend, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction is less the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect. In addition, the Warrant Amendment provides that the holders may also exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis and receive an aggregate number of shares equal the product of the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants by means of a cashless exercise rather than a cash exercise, multiplied by 0.81.

On May 17, 2024, after giving effect to the Warrant Amendment, the Company and certain holders of Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,153 shares of common stock (the “Holders”) entered into separate exchange agreements (the “Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange the Series B Warrants held by the Holders for shares of Company common stock (or, at the option of the Holder, pre-funded warrants) at a ratio of 0.81 shares of Company common stock (or, at the option of the Holder, pre-funded warrants) for each whole Series B Warrant. A total of 1,148 pre-funded warrants with an exercise price of$0.008 and 597 shares of common stock were issued to the Holders.

As of June 30, 2025,24 Series B Warrants remain outstanding and all of the pre-funded warrants were fully exercised in 2024.

The Exchange Warrants expire August 24, 2027. In 2023 and 2024 certain holders of the Exchange Warrants exercised warrants to purchase four shares of the Company’s common stock. On November 8, 2024, holders of the remaining warrants to purchase eight shares of the Company’s common stock notified the Company that they were forfeiting these warrants.

Also in May 2023, in connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company also issued New Warrants (together with the Exchange Warrants the “May 2023 Warrants”) to purchase four shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1,569,600.00 (which was adjusted to $1,080,000.00 per share upon stockholder approval which was received on August 3, 2023). Subsequent to the adjustment of the exercise price for the reverse splits and issuance of Preferred Stock discussed above, on November 8, 2024 the holder of these warrants notified the Company that it was forfeiting these warrants.

As noted below, two of the Exchange Warrants were exercised at a price of $504,000.00 per share and two Reload Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $720,000.00 per share. In October 2023, the Reload warrant exercise price was reduced to $394,272.00. The Reload warrants expire August 24, 2027.

Pursuant to the Inducement Reprice Letter, in exchange for an aggregate cash payment of $346,500, the Company reduced the exercise price with respect to May 2023 Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of two shares of common stock from $394,272 per share to $2,880.00 per share. On January 10, 2024, the Holders exercised these warrants.

The Company valued these warrants using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 22, 2024 of $1,408.00, volatility of 155.00% the Company’s historical volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.47%, no dividends and a life of 5.5 years.

The following is the activity related to common stock warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

NOTE 10 –STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In January 2021, the Company’s Board adopted the Volcon, Inc. 2021 Stock Plan, (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is a stock-based compensation plan that provides for discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards, and restricted stock unit awards to employees, members of the Board and consultants (including restricted stock units issued prior to the adoption of the plan as further discussed below). The Company has reserved five shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 2021 Plan. To the extent that an award, if forfeitable, expires, terminates or lapses, or an award is otherwise settled in cash without the delivery of shares of common stock to the participant, then any unpaid shares subject to the award will be available for future grant or issuance under the 2021 Plan. There areno shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan as of June 30, 2025. Awards vest according to each agreement and as long as the employee remains employed with the Company or the consultant continues to provide services in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

As discussed in Note 8 above, fully vested stock options were granted to the Company’s CEO and CFO to purchase a total of 252,525 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.56 per share. The Company recognized share-based compensation of $1,125,802 related to these stock options in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. On July 17, 2025, the CEO and CFO amended these stock options to reset the exercise price to $10.00 per share. There will not be an impact to share-based compensation for this modification as the fair value immediately after the modification was less than the fair value immediately before the modification.

In August 2024, as part of the compensation package for the Company’s Chief Sales Officer (“CSO”), the Company granted 782 stock options outside of the 2021 Plan with an exercise price of $104.32. In June 2025, the Company cancelled these stock options and paid $4,252 to the CSO. The Company recognized a net benefit of $30,932 for the share-based compensation expense previously recognized on the unvested stock options less the cash paid.

Stock Options

The following summarizes activity relating to common stock options to employees and consultants for services during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Total stock-based compensation recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for all stock-based compensation awards, has been recorded as follows:

The Company does not expect to recognize any future expense related to these options. As stated above, the inducement stock options were cancelled in June 2025 and the options granted to the Company’s CEO and CFO were fully vested and expensed upon grant. The Company expects to recognize future expense for the stock options granted in conjunction with the Private Placements as discussed in Note 13.

NOTE 11 –LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of common shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net loss per common share is equal to basic net loss per share due to the Company’s net loss and any potentially issuable shares are anti-dilutive.

As discussed in Note 2 above, the Company received notice from DTCC on behalf of the brokerage firms that hold the shares of Company common stock held in “street name” that in connection with the foregoing rounding of shares the Company would need to issue 23,617 shares of common stock which were issued on May 5, 2025. If these shares had been issued as of November 19, 2024 when notice from DTCC was received, the amounts for basic and diluted netloss per common share for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 would be as follows:

Common shares consisting of shares potentially dilutive as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

NOTE 12 –INCOME TAXES

Due to losses since inception and for all periods presented, no income tax benefit or expense has been recognized as a full valuation allowance has been established for any tax benefit that would have been recognized for the loss in any period presented.

The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.

The unfunded exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is equal to $0.00001 per underlying pre-funded warrant share. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each pre-funded warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events affecting the common stock. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise and will not expire until the date the pre-funded warrants are fully exercised. The pre-funded warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation; provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving notice to the Company (61 days notice for increases), but not to any percentage in excess of 9.99%.

The Company issued 163,929 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the placement agents of the Private Placements (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) with an exercise price of $10.00 per share and a five-year term.
